Importance of Protecting Children from Pornography
Protecting children from pornography and educating families about its dangers is crucial to prevent harm to children. Jill Geigel's parents took prophetic warnings seriously and initiated efforts to keep pornography away. This proactive approach influenced Jill's commitment to preparing children to resist pornography. Through education and advocacy, Geigel aims to protect children from online exploitation and promote pornography-resistant families.
Complexity of Discussing Pornography and Sex Education
Addressing issues related to pornography and sex education is challenging due to societal taboos and inadequate past models of communication. Parents often struggle to openly discuss healthy sexuality with their children, leading to discomfort and shame. Teaching children healthy relationship dynamics both face-to-face and with technology is essential amidst the prevalence of sexual content online.
Creating a Secure Environment for Children
Establishing secure spaces for children to detach from the online world and share openly with parents fosters emotional well-being. Encouraging device-free zones, limiting screen time, and enabling regular communication about technology usage promotes mental health and reduces exposure to harmful online content. Involving children in setting guidelines and adapting rules collaboratively can enhance family relationships.
Empowering Through the Doctrine of Jesus Christ and Repentance
Emphasizing the doctrine of Jesus Christ and the power of repentance helps children navigate challenges related to pornography without shame. Repentance is presented as a gift that allows growth and learning from mistakes, fostering self-compassion and personal development. Teaching children to embrace repentance as a positive process encourages resilience and strengthens their spiritual connection amidst societal pressures.
Jill Geigle has dedicated a great deal of time throughout her life to preparing children and families to face the challenges of a modern world. Specifically, she is passionate that, because all of us will come into contact with pornography at some point, we should prepare our families to be pornography-resistant rather than seeking to protect them from pornography. On this week’s episode, Jill shares with us four principles that will help you implement this preparation in your own home.

“The Doctrine of Christ is an attachment cycle that Heavenly Father has given to us. He wants us to attach to Him. We have a problem, we cry out to Him in faith and repentance and He answers us with covenants and with the Holy Ghost.”
