Sound the alarm. They are going to see it. You need to be there first.

It feels impossible to keep kids from seeing pornography these days. Social media and big tech have stacked the cards against parents. Parents should have the power to direct, teach, and help their children without the constant threat of an addictive substance being offered to them. Instead, parents are finding themselves frustrated or overwhelmed as they try to protect their children from pornography.

While filters, rules, and monitoring are important, they are not foolproof, and most children will still be exposed to pornography one way or another. It’s time to prepare our children to be pornography resistant. When the endless protecting fails, our kids need to be ready to handle what happens.

The best kept secret in the fight for your kids’ minds is role-playing. A simple and not very time-consuming activity that costs nothing. Role-playing is practicing difficult situations with your child that might come up as they navigate through a world filled with pornography.

Pornography and the issues surrounding it often produce big emotions like fear, panic, anger, excitement, shame, and sadness. When you practice tricky situations before (or even after) they happen, you and your child are prepared and feel more comfortable to make a healthy choice in the real moment.
