when my kid was a baby .. you could watch stuff and he wouldnt take notice ..
then i noticed once that he was affected when he was a little older ... he would be sitting in his little flying saucer and when things got tense he started to spin madly around looking distressed .. so i immediately turned it off..
its not hard to see how horrifying images can stay throughout your life so i want to make sure that until he has a firm grasp on reality that his experiences are as positive as possible... until he is at a maturity level where he can understand - its just a movie.
at 2 years old kids think animals can talk from what they see on TV !
i know they always cant be protected .. he's still upset by the death of one of our cats .. and you have to be looking carefully to see it .. there are subtle signs rather than his coming out and saying anything ...
I'm looking forward to when i can show him all of the cool horror movies i have and watch them together (if he even likes them) but i dont want him to have the exposure until he's quite a bit older.
