Parenting: NOT All Movies are Suitable for Children

1 February 2017No Comment

Not all movies are suitable for children.

Ratings are there for a purpose.

The task to guide and filter what our young children watch and hear is in OUR HANDSWhat goes into young children’s mind and heart through their eyes and ears is hard to ‘delete’.

 Till today, my heart aches when I see or hear about parents bringing along wide-awaked children as young as 5yo to watch war movies / romantic movies with lots of adult-themed content. 

They see blood splatters as a bullet hits a soldier’s forehead.

They feel the intensity of the scenes through the movie’s purposefully-created special effects, cinematography and sounds.

They watch adults’ actions and words, that portray their moments of passion or even hatred for each other.

Parents,

The task to guide and filter what our young children watch and hear is in OUR HANDS.

Food for thought. Please.

For the sake of our children, whose values, principles and beliefs are still highly dependent and influenced by their parents’ choices and actions.

May God have mercy on us parents.
