[quote=Anonymous] DS is 8-years old and a strong reader. He loves the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Unfortunately, his attitude towards school and his classmates seems to have nosedived since he started reading these books. He parrots phrases from the books, like “Everyone in my school is a moron except me.” He may just be experimenting with different phrases and testing limits, but it is still disturbing. The main character is a pretty nasty, self-centered kid. The series seems targeted towards older kids, as it’s about a seventh grader. DH thinks as long as DS is reading and enjoying it, we should leave him alone. I think the books are proving to be a negative influence. Would you let your eight-year-old read these books?[/quote]
