Perfect for an uncomfortable issue that we can’t ignore
We got this book for our kid going into middle school. I’ve heard great things but I read through it myself before we present it just in case. Each chapter is short and has 2-3 questions and space for writing an answer at the end to encourage kids to retain the information. The book itself is an example of a pornography conversation between a mother and son then a father as well. I liked the format because it truly was a story but it wasn’t a talk where a child could get distracted as they usually do. It also talked a good bit about the brain and how it works. It did with without being too specific so it didn’t sound like a biology textbook. There is a glossary for unfamiliar words, a list of tips and a QR code taking you to more resources in the back of the book. This book is not religious in tone. It mentions a way a child can distract themself if they have already seen pornographic photos and think of one that they can sing songs, go for a walk or IF they follow a faith tradition to say a prayer. That is the only time any religion is mentioned. Another reviewer said it shames children and sex workers. The word sex is only used in the parent section to explain that this book is for children before they have even had the “sex talk”. There is continuous mentions to the kids who have seen them or being bad or broken. It doesn’t explain anything sexual in nature other than the individuals are showing parts covered by the bathing suit. It says the body is wonderful but they should not be photographed. That’s pretty cut and dry to me. They must not have read the book themselves. I recommend this and will be getting the good pictures bad pictures jr for younger kids as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars What my daughter learned from this book:
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2014
Verified Purchase
I just finished reading "Good Pictures Bad Pictures" with my 7-year-old daughter. At the end of each chapter, she wanted to dictate her notes to me and have me record them in the book. I thought you might get a kick out of her notes. As you can see, she missed the boat slightly in some areas, but some of her comments show impressive maturity and comprehension. Also, she is adorable.

“You can’t look at pornography. If someone offers to show you a picture, just ask what it’s about and if it’s a surprise just don’t look at it.

Addiction make you start lying to your family and friends. And you must not try things you could be addicted to once. And you can joke about things you might be addicted to like, ‘I’m addicted to Dippin’ Dots.’ Cuz Dippin’ Dots are good.

My feeling brain makes me thirsty and decide what to eat and also rewards me for what I do right. But if I start to do pornography my feeling brain might start to reward me for it. But if I’m smart enough to not feel rewarded then my feeling brain will make me feel bad for looking at pornography.

I learned to try to not get addicted to stuff like pornography or drinking or smoking or taking yummy pills even if I don’t need them. The more I use my thinking brain, the stronger it gets. Even if I’m about to look at pornography, my thinking brain says, “No!” If I’m doing my math homework my thinking brain gets stronger about pornography.

I learned to leave my thinking brain in charge and let my feeling brain help me know what I want to do unless I’m spoiled. If I want to run into the street, I don’t have to get there immediately. Say I just got home from “Color Me Mine” and I run across the street without stopping to think. I might get hit by a car, or, more luckily, almost hit by a car.

I learned not to take drugs. Drugs will probably make you get pictures of pornography and trick people into looking at them even if they don’t want to. Drugs can make you lie about whether something is pornography. If you’re watching your favorite movie, there might be some pornography in it.

When your brain starts looking at pornography, it starts to make its own kind of drug. After you finish pornography, you stop having the drug that your brain makes. After the drug stops, you feel pain. Some people take drugs only to feel better. Instead of doing drugs or pornography, do something you like. If you still feel unhappy DO NOT TAKE DRUGS. Just wait. Do not take drugs. Just like go outside and lay on the grass. I tried it once and it really helped.”

I loved this book. When I first opened it I felt very anxious and nervous to read it.

It was well written and child friendly. My children were very engaged and asked questions. They should have this in schools.

I gave it to my 20 yr old daughter to read after we read it. It takes about addictions too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review by a Mother/Therapist
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2015
Verified Purchase
As a Licensed Professional Counselor I have extensive training in the sex addiction field. I am grateful for this sound, easy to read clinical resource for families. I am a therapist to Partners of Porn/Sex Compulsions/Addictions and Adult Children of Porn/Sex Compulsion/Addictions. I see and hear on a daily basis the trauma that compulsive Porn viewing does to a person, his/her family, and the community as a whole. This book describes how the brain is impacted by ‘porn use’ in a way that even a child can understand.
I personally sought out this book for my 6-year when he tearfully reported seeing naked people on a 6 year-old friend’s phone. My son was not able to verbalize what he had seen. Thankfully Good Pictures/Bad Pictures explained to him in easy terms that he had seen pornography. The most valuable lesson that my son verbalized was that he could choose to use his thinking or feeling brain at a young age and he could protect his own brain.
My clients read Good Pictures Bad Pictures to their children to explain how compulsive porn has impacted mom, dad and/or siblings because children know there is a problem in the home, but they just don’t know what it is! This book gives clients the opportunity to shine light on compulsive porn use in an age appropriate way. Adult clients also find it easier to understand compulsive porn viewing because of how easy the authors explain addiction in the brain. I highly recommend this book for parents that want to prepare their children for what they may view on a phone/video game/laptop at even the most innocent of ages as my own 6 year old. I also highly recommend this book as education for Families of Compulsive Porn Addicts.

During these times of mesia exposure, YouRube and smartphones and tablets we must start very early telling our kids there are bad pictures and how they should deal with it. Parents (and grandparents/ caretakers), let’s not be naive (and ignorant) about what is out there.

Excellent book and concept. Rather than creating a character who your child learns from, the book puts you in a parent child situation and is effectively a replay of the conversation you could be having with your child. Really easy to transition over to ask their experience, what they think etc
It also has questions after each section which helps embed learning and are a good recap when returning to the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Realistische Hilfe, ohne dabei naiv oder beschämend zu sein
Reviewed in Germany on August 12, 2020
Verified Purchase
Das Buch zeigt anhand einer kleinen Geschichte ganz praktisch auf, wie wir mit Kindern Pornographie auf eine Altersgerechte Art thematisieren können.

Kinder sollen bevollmächtigt werden, selbst gute Entscheidungen zu treffen, anstatt druch Verbote und Beschämung dazu gebracht zu werden, sich von Pornographie fern zu halten - was ohnehin nicht möchlich ist.

Mich hat das Thema sehr beschäftigt, weil ich meinen Kindern den Umgang mit Pornographie gerne ersparen möchte, dies aber nicht in meiner Macht liegt. Dieses Buch zeigt einen realistischen Weg auf, Kinder in diesem schweren Bereich in die Selbstständigkeit- und Verantwortung zu führen, ohne dabei Illusionistisch oder Naiv zu sein.
