damn… my 10 and 8 yo got scared at the end of kindgarden cop with arnie

What? Who lets a three year old watch this? As a teacher I had so many parents say things like "I'm trying to give my child a chance to experience many things." Or, "I'm just trying to prepare my child for ....(fill in something ridiculous)." This translates to, "I am going to expose my children to things (you pick the garbage or trauma) that they are neither developmentally nor emotionally equipped to handle. Idiots.

How can a 3 year old girl be fan of a movie thats not suited for children?

My 3 year old watched Child's Play and loved it. We were very busy in the kitchen cooking dinner for guests arriving soon and we told her to put on a movie to watch. My son-in-law came in the room and said, "Uhh...are you guys letting her watch this???" We looked up and we were shocked! Tried to switch the channel and she threw a fit. She had never been a tantrum type kid. We caved and figured she would have nightmares. But nope. She has LOVED scary movies ever since. She's 11 now and very involved in Theater at school. She loves to draw, work with makeup and costumes. She loves all kinds of kid movies because she's interested in the different types of animation. She listens primarily to show tunes and plays the Hamilton soundtrack ad nauseam. She wants to either be a makeup artist, a doctor, or create animation. She's happy, healthy and her teachers think she's a very smart and talented kid. Still not a movie I would have chosen but all is well.

Why would this family let a 3 year old watch an R rated movie? She'll be in the therapist's office when she grows older, wondering why she has nightmares and is afraid of nuns. Just like my client who watched Chucky and is afraid of dolls

Question is, why would a 3 year old know if this??

I saw worse in real life as a child then any horror film. Lol Worse things out there and what people can do to you then some scary movie.

My parents took me to see Texas Chainsaw Massacre in '76 when I was 5. I've been a horror fan ever since. I couldn't really have a birthday party with a theme though because I had the same birthday as my older sister, 8 years apart. She got the party, I got a cupcake.

Kudos to her parents.. all of the parents that let their kids Express themselves! Love it

Raised my daughter since 2 on animated horror via "Doom" (the original PC version) ... it was how I got her to go to bed (once I died, it was bedtime) ... as she got older and more developed, I explained to her the difference between fantasy and reality and why horror is nothing more than entertainment, sometimes based on reality, but not all the time ... same way with music ... to this day, she will watch a mix of cartoons, horror and action movies ... meanwhile, she's protective about her siblings and still asks me to start the showers and cut her steaks, but just got her license ... bottom line, take control of your children's experiences and they won't be at the mercy of the way others will teach them, which will, in all likelihood, be bad ...
