What should I do to keep my little sister away from p**n ?

Question

she's a 10 years old and today she asked me a very educative question ( sarcasm) : " what's a Threesome ?" I told her that it's a game only adults can play .

she has a computer but not internet , I promised the internet on her next birthday , do you think I should talk to the teachers in her school? is it something else ?

btw we don't have a mom and my dad isn't here , I'm in charge .

Answer 1

well at least for the net you can have filters on to block it all

Answer 2

Im an older sister too. I tried sheltering my younger brother but at some point it didn't work anymore. Unfortantely in 2008 it is harder to shelter children from s*x; its on tv internet, radio , schools etc. You can put parental controls on the internet and tv but that will only work in short run b/c the kids at school will still be talking. When the questions come be open and honest with her.(While being honest certain details can be left out b/c she is still young).  Its better for her to be comfortable with her older sister to ask question than for her to get wrong advice from her peers at school. Good luck :) BTW its good to know who she's friends with b/c peers have alot of influence...setting limits is a must b/c she is just 10 years old (ex; parental control, curfews etc) ; be strict with her but to an extent b/c you still want to have a open relationship with her.

Answer 3

You can set up your internet connection so that she can only go to pages that you approve of. There are child-protection things available, as your local Internet Provider for help.

I would answer such a question with 'It's a grown-up s*x thing that you don't need to know about yet.' That is enough for the kids in my family.  

Answer 4

you can install NetDog p**n Filter : http://www.netdogsoft.com on the computer, netdog blocks all p**n quitely and automatically in the background when anyone's on the computer.

Answer 5

buy her a bunch of games instead

Answer 6

Ask her where she heard this term. try to be somewhat honest when answering these tough questions.

Answer 7

Sounds as though she is no different than any other inquisitive  youngster.  They can hear "stuff" from many different sources, especially around others her age: school, church groups, day-care, playground, etc.  

I wouldn't place too much undo concern over a simple, one-time question.  Plus, like any child, it's safe to use the internet, as long as the guardian or parent or responsible person exercises safe-guards.  I certainly would make sure the computer is located in a central spot where you can monitor her use.  There are also prgrams that can child-proof access, at least for someone that's 10-years of age. Also, ask others with young children how they handle their child's access, etc.

good luck

Answer 8

you can block p**n



  

Answer 9

When she does get internet, you can limit her access by letting her use it only when you're around, only after you have accessed entry with your password. Kids today are hearing more p**n-related terms than ever before...from friends, TV, etc. You need to be forthcoming with her and tell her that there are things she'll learn about soon enough she needs to know and there are some things she need not know for some time. Tell her the things she needs to know to keep her safe.

Answer 10

If she is using the internet either monitor her or put a block on the computer. Also, sit down and tell her that she shouldn't be looking at that stuff or asking questions about things like that.

Answer 11

Put parental controls on the compuet or a good firewall program
