It is good that he has reported this issue and you have considered this to be a problem and decided to take professional help. Internet addiction is the new world pandemic and pornography is at the top of the list when it comes to addictions disrupting psychological well-being of young population. It can definitely have a deteriorating effect it not taken care of. Better to minimise the usage of mobile phones or computers and use them only when there is some absolute need (academics or fun) and place the computer in common place than in some secluded corners. As these activities are though recognised by kids as unwanted .they still enjoy some aspects of that. Out of normal adolescent curiosity. If you feel already there is se issue with your son's mental health / fall in academics.

Dear lybrate-user. Your son might be suffering from ocd. He needs to be evaluated thoroughly by a psychiatrist first. Early detection of ocd can help your son in the long run.

Hi lybrate-user! praise him for having shared the problem with you. Instead of hiding or getting scared. Actually parents needs to be friendly at this particular instead of scolding the kids irrespective of any age because we cannot prevent kids from advanced technology of you tube other videos which just pops .instead we need to advice them in a positive ways the pros and cons like what is good and what is bad without discussing deep into the topic. What is important in life for a 12 year old .kid. Like achieving or bringing out his talents. Like enrol him in football and other classes .the best thing would be to join him in power yoga and meditation which would help him to control his mind and focus on the more important things in life for his age. Yoga would recover him from this problem. For more further details regarding the same consult with a psychologist. Or yogic master or a counselor for the same. Parents need not be strict they need to be friendly at times to their kids. Ofcourse they are your loved ones. Whom you need to guide properly. For a safer life style. Do not forget to praise him. And I also appreciate you to seek help via Lybrate to handle your dear son in a much better way. Take care both. God bless you both.

Dear lybrate-user, I appreciate your efforts in handling this situation. Firstly get technical support to activate the parent control mode activated, it will block the unwanted websites on your phone. Secondly, address all his questions by using biological terms and normalizing the situation without making it unhealthy. Your son must be educated about all his doubts. Lt will act as vaccination to determine him from getting the correct information. Remember mother is the first teacher of the child. However, meeting a counselor can help your son channelize his thoughts and energy in the right direction. Do let me know if you wish to connect with me, I will be happy to help you with this at beautiful minds we are very close by to you. I have more than a decade of experience in handling children with such issues. Don't worry your therapist will help you. Take care
