answer:I speak from hindsight, so my advice is the one to take!! If I could go back, I would ban TV, movies, school, internet, and pretty much everything. Take my son and go and live on a mountain top. They are so precious, so absorbing, so vulnerable. But sadly life is not like that, reality is so full of “stuff”. But I think here the key is “reality”. Many books, and movies and plays and things that go on in life. Are just a perception of reality, made or observed by another person. This is what we need to talk about with our children. Before or after they have read or seen something we feel uncomfortable about. To talk it through. Get their ideas and opinions on what they saw/read. Then check if their thinking is OK with it. We can shelter our kids and we want to, but once my son saw a person hit by a truck on a motorcycle. I wish he had not seen it. It haunted him for days. So we spoke about it. How dangerous and vulnerable a motorcycle can be. How dangerous driving can be and particularly when drunk. So maybe to look at the positives of what life offers us the lessons it teaches us. The way we want to be, or do not want to be.
