Default Re: Movies and kiddos

I wouldn't allow my kid to go to a movie that he is not old enough to understand or sit still through....i.e. infants should never be in a theatre, toddlers only if it is a movie for young kids (animated, Disney/Pixar, etc.). However my ex has gotten my son into Star Wars since Day 1 and he's now an Indiana Jones freak at age 8. They both have good morals, they are not gruesome, and he understands it. There are certain movies that are a little bit more graphic that he's watched, but I have used my own judgement on what he should and shouldn't watch. It's not like I'll expose him to everything, but some exposure is good so that he is not getting too 'curious' or 'mischevious' later on. When an unsuitable part comes up in a movie, I may either tell him to leave the room or if I feel it's ok, I'll explain to him what he sees is not good/nice. You can't filter your children too much or else they will discover it elsewhere and possibly not know better.
