Went to my friend's house last weekend to discuss some issue then noticed one of his kid , around 5 yrs old watching some gore anime (as per video below, not exactly that blood c anime but similar type with alot of head-chopping intestine-spilling scene).

Then told my friend that anime's pretty gore and violent...not sure if kids should watch.

The boy overheard this and then say, 'but i didnt learn'...

Then the dad smile...

I wonder if its OK as i dont have experience with kids watching such anime/show...

anyone can shed some info, or share any link if there will be adverse impact growing up?

Actually I'm quite worried for my kid to watch any cartoon or play any game in tab because during the half way of watching cartoon or going to next level of a game, there will always an ads pop out from no where.

Heck, those ads shows some stupid sexy girl bouncing their asses and boobs. Of course for adult was nothing but for those kids, I was thinking are they exposed to these kind of thing too early?

i have no idea actually.

even on the violence question i am asking, i tried googling..some says no conclusive connection between children acting aggressive with watching violent anime.

LOL. Hopefully. Cross finger then.
Anyhow, kids is still under parents responsibility.

they are...until they are not.

my worries are more on how will tat impact them growing up

or whether if that will impact them at all

a point one of the article i read said, japan was popular with violent anime..yet their crime rates are low.

so maybe tat's a comforting point?

I believe is because Japan has a very good education system and on how strict their rules is.

yea..that might play a role as well

kids grow up fast. its really hard to limit what they can and cannot watch.

the most important thing is to educate.

i also lean towards strict upbringing. beat means love.

that's like saying so long we educate them..then pornhub is also ok?

honestly speaking, i do agree that kids needs SOME restriction when younger, but they'll eventually learn about all these things.

give them internet and they'll find EVERYTHING. people having sex, people getting raped, people getting beheaded.

if i were the parents i would restrict all access but when theyre like 7-9 years old talk to them about it? i remember being a kid that age and my friends were already having access to "dirty magazines/video tapes".

would you rather your kid finding out about all this from friends rather than from parents?

we have to adapt, its getting easier and easier to access all this.

is porn wrong? my opinion is anything taken to an extreme is wrong. demonizing sex is actually harmful. i had a friend who was raped by her bf, but back then she didnt know enough about rape and love. she was so afraid to talk to anyone. i wonder why?

well i am sure eventually they will need to be taught on what's private parts etc...and the same goes to violence in this world.

my question's rather, is 5 or 6 yrs old a suitable age ; especially on violence since that's the purpose i start this thread.

and porn, i would say i disagree even below 12....i can teach them about private parts, bad touch/good touch..but to allow them to watch people having sex....that's a whole new different level to me.

but then again, since i am looking for answer on correct/incorrect parenting when it comes to violence, i wouldnt say yours is wrong..but will be helpful if there's a link/source where studies done so i can glimpse some knowledge from there.

sorry i cant help then my opinions are subjective. imho everything is subjective based on case by case basis. different parents also have different parenting styles.

no wrong there bro. i agree with you that we all have different perception.

and i value your input

My kids watched whatever I watched, Attack on Titans, korea suspense drama (mouse recently) etc. As for porn, when the time come, they will watch it. I think as parents, all you can do is educate them on protected sex and the consequence of getting underage girl pregnant instead.

Assume the worse and you will be prepared to handle anything that comes around.

If you are sort of liberal parent, you will likely say yes, allowed.

Hence why on netflix, you just watch any romance show these days, it's full of explicit deeds. From 4 letter words, to description of the act, to even seeing the private parts..

This sort of thing is a huge no no in my books..

If the act is implied, I'm okay with children watching a little bit. But once it moves to explicit territory, like real acts of violence or sex acts or swearing, it's time to change the channel..

What do I mean by implied? Implied means they had a scene, maybe kissing and holding hands on a bed, but next cut scene is them already done the deed or under the sheets, talking about the next topic already.

Or cut scene to a lifeless body on the ground, the act of violence already done.

That sort of thing, I can live with exposing my children to.
