Impulsivity and a strong dopamine drive may lead adolescents with ADHD to view pornography. Don't panic — here are strategies for talking to your teen about porn and identifying warning signs of trouble.
: “My son, 13, has been diagnosed with ADHD. Lately, I think he’s been looking at pornography on the Internet. He is addicted to video games, so I am fearful he will develop a porn addiction as well. How should I handle it?”
Pornography is much more prevalent and accessible than it used to be. It’s easy for kids to find porn online — or accidentally stumble across it thanks to a poorly worded Google search.How to Talk to Your ADHD Teen About PornSince you’re unsure whether your teen is viewing porn, you can address this issue in several ways. You could take steps to confirm your suspicions by, for example, checking his browser history.
If you decide to look into his browser history, be ready for what you might find. If you’re upset about what you discover while you talk to him, it will undermine the effectiveness of your conversation.You could also address his exposure to porn as a general thought by saying something like, “You’re getting older now, so we should probably have a conversation about pornography. I know it’s all over the Internet, and I want to get ahead of it.
Punishing him by taking away his computer or phone would be a mistake. That sends the message that curiosity and interest in sex is bad, and, potentially, that sexual feelings are wrong. Instead, it is better to talk patiently and calmly with your son about what occurred.Bringing up porn won’t be comfortable for you or your teen. But it should be brought up. Just keep things direct and brief. A protracted conversation may close the door for future questions, which will do more harm than good.
