Sexual Addiction and Children

 


  1. 1.The average age of first exposure to pornography for children is age 5.

  2. 2.Some pornographers have targeted children in their advertising.

  3. 3.The number one way adult sex addicts were first exposed to pornography was finding it in their home. 

  4. 4.As children use the Internet for homework and interacting with friends, they often experience accidental exposure to pornography, and can become hooked.

  5. 5.The earlier this problem is treated, the more likely you are to prevent a lifetime of sexual acting out with pornography.


Faithful and True Atlanta has worked with sexually addicted children who were hooked as young as age 7.  We have seen sexual acting out with Internet pornography as young as age 5.  The impact on children is staggering.  The counseling services of Faithful and True Atlanta can help you heal the damage that may have been done to your child by early exposure, and can work with you on developing a healthy program of sex education for your children and family.

Children and the Internet

Parenting throughout the lifespan is challenging.  There are no step-by-step manuals on raising children.  At times it can be so overwhelming that parents feel out of options.  The impact of Internet pornography and a sexually saturated culture often leave parents feeling helpless.  Out of the love and care that parents have for their children, they choose to contact outside help for their child to cope with some of life’s touch problems.  As a trained child and adolescent specialist, Lisa Andrews and Sonya Kennedy can provide other options and avenues of hope.  Parents know the challenges of raising kids in our culture today.  Parents know the feelings of desperation as children grow up and face challenges and transitions.  Play therapy and working with teens is a way to help navigate the often difficult transitions from childhood into adulthood.
