Guidance for Parents: How to Support a Child Caught in Pornography

Karen Broadhead

No matter how messy it gets, we have the power to guide our wounded child. There is power in our love, and we can find the message, even the miracle in our mess.

Parents have a purpose! My unique role is to cheer, love, and encourage. It is my child’s job to fight and change behaviors.

I am a caregiver, not a healer! I know people are designed to heal and it’s always a process with individual timing.

My child is not my enemy! I can love my child in their journey whether or not they accept help. My love can be a weapon of light.

I will fight my own battles! Parents can’t fight their children’s battles, and that’s okay. Learn to stay in your own lane.

When parents receive support, tools, and training, we are able to guide our child in positive ways and feel peace regardless of circumstances.
