Not Your Father's Playboy

As a child and family psychiatrist, I am often asked about technology and how it impacts families and children. Technology has totally changed the way families create and enforce rules in the home. Now that children and teens have instant access to an endless stream of information with their smartphones, they have become really difficult to monitor.

Children are often outfoxed by their parents. But some parents really do not know how to set up parental controls correctly. And families are spending much less “quality time” together. One thing that parents may not be thinking about, but really should, is pornography.
