Parents’ concerns about the Internet

78% of parents in the UK think the Internet has encouraged the

conversation on adult themes with children at an increasingly early age

Porn was the least favourite topic to broach for 58% of UK parents

Most parents said they plan to have this conversation by the time their child

is aged 10. In contrast, they themselves only had the talk with their parents at

a later age, up to 15 years old – and 45% in the UK never had the talk at all
