an obscene book or material, what will your reaction be? Will you beat him or her, or threaten to beat, or get their explanation properfly heard and then decide to do what next? Your first reaction, i think, will be a shock, isn't it?

Very Good question!! I would just ask my child the reason and source from where he/she got the book. There is no point in beating or scolding him, instead I would like to know the root cause of the problem. Nonetheless, children watch so much dirty stuff now a days on TV, that they do not require obscene book or literature.

Beating a child for this kind of indiscretion would only cause him to hide things in the future. It would also delete any hope you might ever have of an open discussion. An open discussion is what you want. What you have to say will depend on your personal views, the age of the child. etc. Stay calm and aim for that discussion. At some point this is entirely natural for a ch ild to be curious about the unknown and anything considered to be taboo.

hi snakes queen how are you well the first reaction will be not to beat her because these tpe of things are somewhat getting outdated and parents should not do that but should ask him patiently because if your child is terri fied by you then he will no discuss his problems woth you and you should ask him who intended him to do so or is any friend doing such type of thing if you will beat him then there is tendency that your child wil become more addicted or attracted towards this type of material

I would just let them be. Its up to them what they do and there isnt any harm in looking.
