On a different topic: I took my 5-year-old son to see The Tale of Despereaux this week and then cursed its apparently kid-safe G rating when he found it really scary. I looked into the meaning of G for General Audience and learned that the promise of "minimal violence" that the rating makes often isn't kept. More from me on this here. Have any of you tangled with fearsome kids' movies, and what if anything do you do about it? For my kids, the problem isn't quickie punches or even shootings. It's prolonged suspense, which movie makers often seem unable to resist. I don't try to shield my kids from everything harsh or sad, but movies exert real power over kids because of their visual impact. When a film keeps one of my kids up at night, I wish he hadn't seen it. Thoughts?
