Adolescents easily come across erotic and pornographic content on the Internet. While teenagers begin to specifically search for it, younger children are disturbed and frightened by sexually explicit content.

Parents should protect younger children from this content. They can make access more difficult for children through technical measures, but can also help ensure that they have the appropriate knowledge about sexuality and develop a self-determined approach to it.

How can you protect children and what exactly can parents do?

  • Accompany younger children while surfing: Stay there and stay in conversation when younger children are online.
  • Offer age-appropriate information: Offer your child appropriate information through publications and websites that address their questions.
  • Agree on clear rules: Which content is age-appropriate, which is not and why?
  • Watch out for signs: Young people no longer necessarily like to talk to their parents about sexuality, but parents can still look out for signs and gently follow up if necessary.
  • Talk about staging: Point out to your child the often striking difference between porn and real sexuality.
  • Address legal aspects: Many young people are not aware of the far-reaching consequences. Young people may themselves circulate juvenile pornographic material when they take and send pictures of themselves in sexually explicit poses. In addition, shipping and, in some cases, possession can constitute a criminal offense under the Criminal Code.
  • Report abnormalities and violations: You can secure evidence, e.g. via screenshot, and contact the operator, the police or a reporting center such as jugendschutz.net or the Internet Complaints Office. Take your children's questions and concerns seriously and stay in touch. This builds trust and helps the children to turn to you directly if they have any problems.
