Getting age-appropriate, comprehensive sex ed into our educational system in the U.S.is not going to happen overnight – and maybe not even very soon. But there’s oneresource that is providing our children with ample sex-ed: the media. Unfortunately, the vast majority of it is not age-appropriate, and it’s not even responsible. Can you believe that 70% of the programs that our children and teens are watching contain some sort of sexual content? That’s a lot of casual sex and sex without consequences.

Dr. Hutchison was a guest speaker with Katherine Schwarzenegger, daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mariah Shriver on Kids Count Radio Network!   Katherine  has written “Rock What You’ve Got” that talks about her struggles with her own  body image. 

So this weekend, my oldest daughter who is nine and I were driving to her soccer game.  Beautiful weather, windows down, hair flying and just enjoying the day.  Well Katy Perry’s song, “Teenage Dream” comes on the radio and my daughter who really can’t follow a tune started belting out…”Let’s go all the way tonight, No regrets, just love. We can dance until we die.  You and I, we’ll be young forever.”
