How to talk with your kids about sexting

Sexting is a surprisingly common (yet risky) trend among youth today with 56% of youth reporting that they have sent a sext. Despite this, 49% of parents have not discussed sexting with their kids. Just like the other critical and sometimes uncomfortable conversations we have as parents, it's time to introduce the topic of sexting and begin a dialogue around respect and healthy relationships, consent, peer pressure, and overall safety when it comes to sexting and growing up in our digital world.
