It's one of the most common topics that parents come to us for help with.How do you know which issues to bring up with your teenager at which times? And what if you accidentally tell them something they didn't know about yet and put the idea in their head? What if they are already getting exposed to mature content from their friends at school?These days, the scary thing is that pornography companies are actively targeting younger children.
