[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd need to see the game to judge - my kids are 5 years apart,  and the eldest has viewed violent movies in front of my youngest. Said youngest watched [b]Jurassic World in 3D [/b]for her 4th birthday, and loved it.

But there is a line, and your husband has to respect your opinions and reach some sort of compromise with you on where that line is.

Have a dinosaur loving kid who saw Jurassic World at a young age and they were fine with it, probably because of the almost mythical nature of dinosaurs, but I know they wouldn't be okay with first person shooter games.[/quote]

PP you replied to. It depends on the child, it depends on how the violence is explained, and most of all, it depends on the overall parenting in that home. Viewing first person shooters won't ruin a kid whose life is generally peaceful and whose parents care for and respect each other and their kids. Studies have shown that teens who became school shooters, for example, overwhelmingly had been neglected and lived in conflict-ridden households.
