Jennifer Garner, who stars in the new movie about the perils of the internet _Men, Women & Children_, has nothing particular against porn. She just doesn’t want her three kids to see it online before she’s had a chance to talk to them about sex. “I really hope my kids don’t run across stuff online that could appear violent to them,” she said in an interview with TIME.

Garner, who admits she takes a pretty disciplined approach to bringing up Violet, 9, Seraphina, 5 and Sam, 2, says she’s done a lot of thinking about how to teach her kids, especially her daughters about sex: she’s attended talks, she’s read books and she’s talked to experts, but says she’s still no quite sure what’s the right approach. Her own mother and father, whom she calls “the best parents in the world,” have still never talked to her about it. “I’m waiting for The Talk, mom, dad,” she jokes in the interview, which TIME subscribers can read [here](http://time.com/3483892/10-questions-with-jennifer-garner/).

Of her kids, Garner says, “I want them to see sex as something joyful, as a gift, as a celebration of love and of their bodies. And I’ve never thought about that before, but it makes me feel really cool and hippie-ish to even think of it that way.”

Elsewhere in the interview Garner says she’s not nearly as connected online as her husband, Ben Affleck, and although she doesn’t want her kids to enter the digital world just yet, he may have other ideas. “It’s definitely a team sport, parenting,” she says.

While Garner says she quickly closes pages that have any mention of her or her family on them, she does sometimes take online courses. She was an active participant in a course run by New York _Times_ writer Nick Kristof when his and his wife Sheryl WuDunn’s book _Half the Sky_ came out. Anonymously, of course. 

Because on the Internet, nobody knows you’re a movie star.


## Transcript

[00:02] [ MUSIC ] I'm very disciplined when I need to be. But I'm
[00:05] also a total flake. A room mom in kindergarten this year.
[00:10] And I'm in charge of this kindergarten coffee next week
[00:12] and I forgot to write down what everyone was supposed to
[00:16] bring. And so I was supposed to send out the e- mail saying
[00:19] okay this is what was decided da da da you bring this. I
[00:22] have bagels. You bring this [ UNKNOWN ]. And I just forgot
[00:25] to write it down, and I just said to them, this is why I'm a
[00:28] better worker bee than I am being in charge. But, I'm a total
[00:31] flake. I cannot tell you how many days i
[00:35] think that i've tried my hardest, as a parent, and really gone
[00:38] out of my way and gone above and beyond and done
[00:40] everything i possibly think I can do to help my child through.
[00:43] X, Y, or Z, only to realise that I was making
[00:47] it harder for them or was in the way or was the problem
[00:50] itself. My mom, she checks my Facebook, my emails, my
[00:54] texts. She must have just deleted it before I even saw it. I
[00:58] know that I like rules. I'll watch how strict the other moms
[01:01] are and I'll probably try to be one notch more strict.
[01:04] [ LAUGH ] I've given a lot of thought to how
[01:08] you deal with teaching your kids, especially your
[01:10] daughters, about sex. The scary thing to me is that,
[01:16] that what's available to them online, even if that they could
[01:20] run across accidentally ,. Could show them something
[01:24] that is so not connected to the way I want them to
[01:29] see sex. I want them to see sex as a, something joyful, as a
[01:33] gift, as a celebration of love and of
[01:37] their bodies, and, I've never thought about that before but it
[01:40] makes me feel really cool and hippie- ish to even [ MUSIC ]
[01:43] Think of it that way. I have nothing figured out yet
[01:47] about how I will manage my children's, entry
[01:52] into the digital world.
[01:56] I just know that it's not yet. I know that I'd rather
[02:00] them try and fail at things while they're under my. Roof and
[02:05] with me there to chat with at bedtime then to say
[02:09] you can do nothing ever until you're an adult and then
[02:12] good luck.
