I found out my teenager has watched pornography. How do I discuss it without shaming him?
Face this discovery with compassion, not overflowing anger, so that he does not carry shame and secrecy. Understand that many teenagers are exposed to this material accidentally in the online world. Choose a private moment and speak without accusing; explain its harmful effects on the heart, on how one sees others, and on future relationships. Teach him how to avoid and close such material, and install filters on the family's devices. Encourage him to fill his time with sport, good friends and worship. Tell him the door of repentance is always open and that you still love him. Steps for protecting children online are at digital & family.
