Communication and Pornography

Here is a great video for children explaining pornography and what they should do when they see it.

What Should I Do When I See Pornography?

The world that we live in (sadly) is one in which children will be exposed to things that we want to protect them from. They need to know what pornography is, why we need to stay away from it and how it works to hurt our spirits and our bodies. We need to communicate with our children so that they can feel comfortable communicating with us.

Should there come a time that children view pornography quite innocently and without knowing what's happening- because it can be accessed anywhere- they need to feel safe talking to their parents and to God about it without feeling like they are somehow bad and can't come to those trusted people.

I have had good friends struggle with pornography addictions and seen them suffer consequences that were both horrible and unexpected. I want to be able to have open and honest conversations with my children when the time is right. There are bad things in the world but we have eternal truths that we know and that bring light to our lives.

We live in the world but not of the world. We can't pretend that pornography doesn't exist but we can educate and warn and help them through.

Communication is an important way that I can keep my children safe.
