What steps should parents take to protect their children from exposure to inappropriate sexual content?
user
Parents should take an active role in monitoring their children’s Internet use and actively supervising their online activities. First and foremost, they should have the necessary conversations with their kids to inform them of the potential risks of being online. This could include teaching them to avoid clicking on links or visiting websites that could expose them to inappropriate content. Furthermore, parents can employ a range of software solutions or family-friendly search engines and browsers which can limit access to such content while surfing the web. Finally, regular conversations with children about appropriate behavior both online and offline are extremely important in promoting healthy boundaries regarding sexual content..

Parents should take several steps to help protect their children from exposure to inappropriate sexual content. Firstly, parents should supervise their children’s Internet use by actively engaging in conversations about the websites their kids are visiting and setting parameters for web access. Secondly, they can use filtering software and/or disable the search feature on browsers to stop children accessing inappropriate content by accident. Thirdly, communication is key - educating and informing children of appropriate boundaries when it comes to viewing this type of content can be a great help so long as it's done in a calm but informative manner. Finally, if parents think their child may have been exposed - accidentally or otherwise - to unwelcome explicit sexual content or themes they must ensure their child knows how they feel about it and offer supportive counsel if necessary.
