Imagine a house without walls! Where basically we are exposed to everything and no privacy, Where everyone can come to your home without permission and assault your well being and more importantly our kid's well being. This is the world we live in today where everyone is allowed to our lives through computers and cell phones. Unfortunately, if we don't protect our kids they will get assaulted by a lot of evil doers on the internet.
It is very crucial to setup parental protection software on your children’s cell phone or computer. Be aware that we live in a world where temptation will chase your child without him/her looking for it; parental control software is a must, not a luxury. No one can build a house without a fence for protection; the Bible says, "Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls." (Proverbs 25:28).
If you don't install parental protection software on your child's phone, he/she will definitely be exposed to pornography and he/she will end up being like a destroyed city without walls! Even if your child doesn’t search for pornography, it's going to come to him/her. Satan is very smart in using digital devices to pollute our children’s hearts and minds. If we neglect our children in this cyber world, without protection, Satan will definitely attack them with a vicious sexual war. Protect your children and don't let them stumble. It’s a big sin to be aware of the dangers of digital devices and ignore them. “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea" (Mark 9:42).
Below is a list of popular parental protection software. I recommend installing one of them or seek help from an expert:
It is critical to build a trust-based relationship with your children and to address all of their concerns, uncertainties and questions. Parental control software is not the solution, but a tool of protection. The real solution lies in raising awareness before adolescence and creating a healthy environment of love at home, where your children will come to you with all their questions and problems. Preferably, you should install this software on the digital device before giving the device to your child, so they deal with it as a given. If your child already has a device without parental protection, installing this software will be very challenging. My advice is to convince your child of its importance and never force the software on him/her. If you control your children's cell phone and keep them busy without making them aware of the dangers of pornography, then you did nothing. They will go looking for answers from bad sources and they will feel oppressed for no reason. Finally, be careful to avoid obstinacy, which creates a vicious cycle; children are smart and will find a way to get around the software.
