![]() ![]() I have agreed with pretty much everything you've written in this string, and I would like to mention that I recently discovered that there are Avengers movies that are okay for kids that age. If kids are picking on yours because they don’t consume the same content then they need new friends, and I’m quick to tell my kids the same when they’re “friends” aren’t lifting them up. Don’t let your standards slide just because other parents do. I laugh at it more than my kids! :)ĭon’t give up hope. It’s an amazing show and I don’t think it’s for babies. It’s their go-to (especially my 7 yr old). We watch it as a family and my boys will watch it on their own all the time. We let them play Minecraft online only with a specific friend on their own server. I just wanted to chime in and say I let my boys (7 & 5 yrs) play Minecraft offline with each other but I won’t let them play Roblox due to the online nature of it. They can do adult stuff when they’re an adult, even if they’re the outlier at school. I’m a gamer and open-minded adult, not much surprises me these days BUT when it comes to my kids I do everything to preserve their innocence and young, developing minds. I found this while doing my own research on Rainbow Friends because my 7 yr old was talking about it. You’re doing the right thing by explaining it’s okay to like different things, and you’re definitely doing the right thing by restricting stuff that’s going to give him nightmares. Kids hear these things from older siblings and occasionally shitey grownups, that they’re being uncool/babyish, and since children so badly want to fit in, they usually assume it’s true, and repeat it to others, and rarely have the presence of mind to be confident enough to say “actually I think Bluey is awesome and I don’t care what you think” (which obviously is totally true, since Bluey is the only kids show I’ve watched that actually makes me laugh - I only wish my goddamn kid agreed, instead we have to watch fucking Chuggington). It was embarrassing, and I definitely immediately switched to calling her Mum instead, but it didn’t do any lasting harm. I remember distinctly referring to my mum as “Mummy” once at primary school and being scorned for “still saying Mummy like a baby”. Just came to check what’s the general opinion about this? No judgement here at all just trying to understand what’s the general sentiment regarding this subject. He also came home multiple times talking about huggy wuggy because his friends talk about it.Īfter I googled about both of these things I was left under the impression that these are characters from horror games and therefore not very age appropriate for 5/6 year olds.īasically my son ends up coming home quite sad that he feels a bit left out because, although he’s not the only one, he’s definitely in the minority for not playing any of these… It seems quite a big chunk of his friend was quite familiar with the game and the characters of the game. My son knows what it is because of his friends but we don’t let him play. One of his friends came to school today with a cuddly toy from the game Rainbow friends. He doesn’t have his own phone and has limited access to ipad so I know that he doesn’t have access to any of these games. So I just returned from doing the school drop off and was left wondering if I’m being too precious on what I let my son watch/play. ![]()
