Yesterday was a normal day, and as usual, my 14-year-old son was having his post-school screen time. He's a good kid, so I don't hover too much. I went to check on him and noticed he quickly minimized whatever he was watching. He said it was "just a gaming stream," and I let it slide, but something felt off.
A bit later, I went back to offer him a drink and caught a glimpse of his screen before he could close it. He was watching one of those hot tub streams - Kick streamer Amouranth.. For those who don't know, it's basically streamers in swimwear, sitting in hot tubs, chatting with viewers. It's not explicit, but definitely more on the suggestive side.
I tried to handle it calmly and asked him why he was watching it. He got embarrassed and mumbled about it being popular. I explained that while these streams aren't outright bad, they're not exactly suitable for his age. I told him he needs to be careful about what he watches online.
He seemed pretty embarrassed, and I left him to think it over. Now I'm second-guessing myself. Should I have been stricter? Should I trust him to make better choices? I'm also thinking about whether I need to set more restrictions on his internet use.
TL;DR: Walked in on my son watching a hot tub stream, had an awkward talk about appropriate content, and now I'm unsure if I handled it right or if I need to be stricter with his internet access
