Parents, it is so important to foster open communication with your children, especially when it comes to pornography. Help your children feel comfortable to talk to you about this subject by spending time with them frequently, strengthening your relationship with them, engaging in open conversation with them regularly and being approachable, kind and loving. If your children are afraid that they will get in trouble if they tell you they encountered pornography or that you will judge them harshly, they will not approach you and tell you.
Avoiding pornography and the dangers of pornography should be a constant conversation between you and your children. The more you talk about it with them in a loving manner, the more open they will be with you and the more comfortable they will feel to approach you.
Teach your children that families don’t keep secrets from each other. Families, talk to each other, confide in each other and help each other. Establish that in you family, you don’t have secrets. You have open communication and loving relationships.
