Parenting Teens with Dr. Cam

Teenagers and Sexting with Christy Keating

36 min • 21 september 2022

If you’re worried your teen may be sending or receiving inappropriate snapchats, texts, and DMs, this episode is for you.

According to the CDC sexting can damage a teen’s self-image, is linked to cyberbullying, increases rates of depression and other mental health issues, and may even result in felony charges.

Yet, this activity has become somewhat normalized even expected among teens. Nearly 15% have sent an explicit or suggestive image or message, and one out of four teens have received one. 

In this episode, I’m joined by Christy Keating, founder and CEO of The Heartful Parent, to discuss how to talk to our teens about consent, and what to do if we discover they’ve been sexting.
