I have the following question for the GYE chevra.  

I have young children.  When the time comes, how do I talk to them about these kedusha topics?  About the danger and destructiveness of porn and masturbation, etc. 

Growing up, I don't recall anybody addressing these sensitive issues with me.  Certainly not my parents.  Not that I blame them, but I wondered how things would have turned out, if I had been educated in a torahdik way about these things.  In "The Fight" series by R' Shafier, he mentions in passing how it is one of the greatest chessed a person can do, if he can have this talk with someone younger, before he ever has the chance to fall into this "black hole"

Can anyone here share what their experience was, whether they have given this talk with their children, or recieved one while they were still young?  What approach works well?

Check out the resources HERE.

I remember this thread after "Wilnevergiveup" post on his thread.  Thank you Gevura and Sleepy for your resources.  but I would like to hear people's personal experiences in having the talk with their kids.

Hi Dave
Hope all is well,
I dont know how to speak to my kids about this as my oldest boy had his upsherin on lag b'omer.
However, many times my sons also the 1 year old like to play with their eiver. 
My wife asked a famous ruv in this issue and he mentioned that at this age dont make a big issue out of, rather just distract. But, some times I tell him that Tatte doesnt touch his eiver and it is very heilig.

Just thought I would share.
It doesnt start at 13 

Eyes

The suggested age is 5th grade. Speak to Rabbi Tanenbaum from Chicago. He has developed a healthy normal mehalech approved by Gedolei Yisroel.

Note - The conversation should not be just about this. It should be about many age appropriate issues. Best is to spend a few days talking with your son about mitzvos we do with our hands, another time - mitzvos we do with our feet, our heart,,,,  and then one day bring this issue up as an eyes issue, etc. Make sure to continue for the next few days with other inyonim... 

Shalom,
I am a Bachur so please take my words with a grain of salt. What makes sense to me is to frame it in the realm of kedusha and torah. This is why I think that the GYE ebooks are so good, because it teaches you about every topic there is to know about taavah and kedusha in the framework of the torah. If the kid is confused unless he is super obedient (I don't know which teenager is) he will try and figure out the truth. You must give him the correct truth in order for all of his questions to be answered. Then, his thirst for knowledge will be sated and the likelihood of him being nichshal will be less. 
Please let me know if I am incorrect
