cleanvisit Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Talk to him about sex.Speaking of sex, while you teach him, you could help him search safer online. Have you heard of CleanVisit.It is a new search engine that helps to filter pornography and other "bad stuff" that your children can run into while on the Internet.If you try it out, tell me what you thought. I would love any feedback.Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
