[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BTW I have two boys and they both were searching for this kind of thing at age 9 - it's just the point where these things start to get talked about in school, so I think it's normal. And yes as others have said have a talk with your son about sex/body topics. Don't avoid this. This is also a normal conversation. And I'd let him keep the iPad but just say he doesn't need to search for those things. [/quote]

Thank you.  I deleted safari and told him that I saw this and I'm not angry, but that everything he does on an iPad at home or school can be seen by others, so he has to be aware of that when he searches for something, and most of the internet isn't ok for kids. but what do I say about body/sex? I don't know what to add there. [/quote]

I would add that the reason it's important not to look at those kinds of things on the internet is it's not real and not how people live their lives.  And while most people understand that, for some people, the images can get stuck in their head and they think this is what adults do and want all the time and it's not.  You can remind him that (hopefully) he sees mommy and daddy, and uncle Larlo and aunt Larla in healthy happy relationships, and they are not doing lots of the crazy things it looks like people on the internet are doing.[/quote]
