Good Pictures Bad Pictures Jr.

I had wondered how we would approach this scary topic with our children because unfortunately we're in a toxic society and who knows when they'll be exposed to these awful images! This book was PERFECTION at addressing the problem ("bad pictures of people who show their private parts") and what to do about it ("seeing a bad picture does not make you a bad kid"/ "turn, run, tell"). It releases the idea of shame in case a young child may have seen images or even been a victim themself. This book is one I will continue to recommend to all parents! It brought up amazing convos with my 4 & 5 year olds. The wording in the book was simple and inoffensive. The book doesn't feature any wording or images that might be perceived wrong. It's a simple story of good and bad things.

Good for my two toddler daughters!

Excellent book! Worth every penny. It gets the conversation going with your children.

Just an amazing resource. Highly recommend. Esp for ages 5-8. You know the maturity of your child.

This book explains so well what children can do to if they see a bad picture. The language is simple and easy for young children to understand. It helps young children see that they have the power—they can be in control of their minds even after they accidentally see a bad picture. I read it to my daughter and son (ages 4 and 3), and afterward my daughter exclaimed, “Now I have the power!” That’s exactly how I want my kids to feel—that even when they accidentally see something bad, they are still good people and can move on from that. They can be in control. So grateful for this book! Thank you!

Started reading (and re-reading) this well-written, insightful and extremely helpful book with our 5 year old. Wish we'd had it for our older children!
This book teaches kids to know when they feel unsafe, see something dangerous/inappropriate and how to get help from a trusted adult. Read it over & over--start now!

I made the mistake of reading an article about when children are first exposed to pornography. Ever since, I've been attempting to broach the topic of pornography with my 4- and 5-year old daughters. Let me tell you, this book is incredible. It's SO ACCESSIBLE. It literally is everything you'd want to say, and in a simple format that isn't patronizing and difficult to follow at all.

And my girls LOVED finding the camera on every page. Helped keep us all engaged.

Honestly, I wish every library had a copy because it's not an every-night-type read-- but it's just worth EVERY PENNY. I'm passing this book around in my mom friends group and just couldn't recommend this book more. I'll probably bring it out again in 6 months or so for reinforcement. SO RELIEVED to have had this conversation.

Great way to teach your children. Pornography is a topic that can be hard for parents to talk about without embarrassment but this book takes all that away. Simply read it to your child! The author has already figured out the words to say...nothing more, nothing less. It is short and to the point so it can hold the attention of young children and it is presented in a way they can understand. The book also gives children a plan for what to do when they see it. They can learn the actions to take.

This was a great book to read to elementary age kids. Very straightforward and to the point. Not shaming and gives a plan for how to handle bad pictures.

When my children were young, we taught them how to react if their clothes caught on fire (campfires, etc.) They should simply "STOP, DROP & ROLL". Here, if a child sees a picture of people whose body parts are not covered as they would if they had a swimsuit on - they should "TURN, RUN & TELL". Too many children of young ages are becoming addicted to pornography because they are drawn to it - and their brains are not trained to look away. My Primary Care Physician's 14 year old son had become addicted to porn on the computer in his bedroom. This is a serious addiction, and it affects children as young as 5 years old!

This book has helped me convey the message to our children about pornography. I couldn't start a conversation without this book!

Cannot recommend this book enough! Started reading it to my kids when they were around 3 years old. HIGHLY recommend getting it, reading it multiple times with your kids, and practicing the turn, run and tell strategy. My kids also enjoyed finding the hidden cameras throughout the book.
This book also helped bring some peace of mind that if, God-forbid, something were to happen, they would know what to do.

Bought these for grandkids and then a set for myself. I am considering giving my set to the local library and maybe a second for the school library. Very simple language and message. Very clean and wholesome, no surprises.

Excellent. Our church is buying a bunch

I think both of these books are excellent. I bought them for my grandchildren. I gave one to my daughter-in -law to share with her 3 boys who love to watch you tube and tic toc. We need to do something to combat this culture that has no boundaries or limits. Children need to know how to protect themseves when parents aren't around.

Thanks!

Excellent book. I used it to reaffirm my children that accidentally looking at a bad picture does not mean that they are bad.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Simple explanations about good pictures vs. bad pictures, where they are found, and what to do about it if you see one (Turn, run and tell a grownup). There were some bad reviews about how it labels all nakedness bad and doesn't credit art. But I think the discussion of art vs. pornography can take a more nuanced approach as children age. You can also go to their blog for further information on how to have that conversation. It does define pornography once, but you can easily not mention it if you feel your children are too young. It is not a scary read for the kids, even though its a very scary topic for parents.

Thanks!

Thanks!
