A strong parent/child relationship is the most important foundation to building your child’s resilience to pornography. Dan Garner, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, recommends five ways parents can prepare their children to steer clear of pornography while growing up in our porn-saturated society.
‘Many parents feel anxious when they make the decision to talk to kids about pornography. However, you cannot allow this anxiety and fear to make decisions for you. When we allow fear to take over, we slip into what is called the fear cycle. Fear can lead to excessive worry’.
It is our sincere hope that these five steps will help you to build a more connected relationship with your children.
