My child is very curious about the internet, and I'm worried that they may be exposed to inappropriate content. Is it appropriate for a parent to watch their child's online activity including viewing sexual images together?

It depends on the maturity of your child and how comfortable you feel discussing sensitive matters. Parents should assess their child’s level of understanding and make sure they are keeping them safe online. While there are no definitive answers, parents should weigh the risk that exposing their child to inappropriate content could have, against the rewards of helping their child become aware of possible dangers they may encounter on the internet.

Yes, it is appropriate for a parent to watch their child's online activity including viewing sexual images together. It is important for parents to be aware of the content that their children are exposed to on the internet and to discuss with them what is appropriate and inappropriate content. Additionally, it can be helpful for parents and children to engage in dialogues about consent, bodies, relationships and sexual-health.
