In a world full of pornography,
this workbook helps parents build
resistance within their child.
Raising children in the digital age comes with incredible benefits, from limitless information to endless entertainment. But there is a dark side to the infinite content available online, and one of the most pernicious dangers is the easy availability of pornography. Whether you have a preschooler playing on a tablet or a teen scrolling through their phone, it’s never too late to prepare your children for the day they will inevitably be confronted with pornographic content.
Help for Parents
If this has happened to you (or when it does), you are not a failure and you are not alone! You are simply a parent in the digital age. And it is time to learn how to prepare yourself and your child to be able to manage this challenging time.
Parents are finding themselves frustrated or overwhelmed as they try to protect their children from pornography. While filters, rules, and monitoring are important, they eventually fail, leaving children vulnerable to the harmful effects of pornography.
Building pornography resistance in your child is a process that takes time and effort, but it is something parents can control. And you or your child don’t have to be perfect! You both just have to keep trying.
