I have two DSs 8 and 11. They have been growing up very protected so far, but my older DS is about to go to the local comprehensiv and I am sure he will come across porn other pupils phones soon enough. There is such absolute toxic stuff out there - it really worries me and I want him to have some awareness that it is not the real world and how it harms women and girls as well as the people exposed to it. When did you talk about porn and its harms to your kids and how did you start that chat? I was exposed to hardcore porn when I was a young around DSs age and it really damaged me. Only, this was in the 80s and just in pictures and words. Both would now be regarded as fairly run of the mill and boring. It terrifies me what kids these days get to see. To be clear - DS won't have a smartphone for many years but many others do.
