Our DS is seven and has led a pretty sheltered life so far. (Unless you consider what I'm now witnessing outside my window...he's driving our ride-on lawn mower under dad's scrutiny. Hummm...I wonder if this is a precursor to taking the family car for a spin? Yikes! )

Back to my thought: We try to regulate what he watches on tv and have done this since he was very little. He is sensitive, so we didn't want to contribute to "nightmare material."

I want to know how other parents help their children choose what movies and tv to watch; or not.

A recently found site: Kids In Mind

From the site: "Since our system is based on objective standards, not the viewer's age or the artistic merits of a film, we enable concerned adults to determine whether a movie is appropriate for them or their children according to their own criteria."
