Porn too close to home

Careful there... Big brother is not a good way to foster a trusting relationship with your kids. It has great potential for a major rebellion gaining the opposite result. Talking from experience here...

I am going to get a key logger in the future because I want to use it to keep track of what is going on. Of course the best filter is a parent rather than software or hardware. One can only live on borrowed light so long as all are free to choose. But I also don't want to be like an ostrich with his head in the sand.

If your kids have not learned to stay away from those sites - or know what to do when a bad site comes up accidentally - logging their internet usage is not going to make them learn it. They can always go to a friend's house or the library or, worst, in bad kid's house, to get to it. The objective is for them to choose to avoid these places on their own. If, even after all your teachings, they still decide to go enjoy the bad stuff, then, they are lost on their own free agency. All we can do is pray that they come back to the strait and narrow path as soon as possible.

It all goes back to educating your children to have a plan. The plan needs to include what they will do when they see pornography on a computer, from a friend, on a phone etc. If they have a plan, just like the limbic system can fuel an addiction, if properly trained it will also help our children survive in these situations.

It is important realize our limbic system is the part of our brain that teaches survival. We just need to properly teach it the right survival techniques and that is not looking at it more and indulging it.
