[quote=Anonymous]For one party, I would let it go unless for some very specific reason I think it is too much. Common Sense Media is good for reminding you of the details, but their age ranges are pretty conservative. That doesn’t mean they suddenly get to watch any PG-13 movie they want whenever they want. I will also say in 5th grade most of the sexual innuendo will simply be over their head. By sixth grade, my best strategy was to watch some of this stuff with my kid and actually explain it to her. If I wasn’t explaining it, she would be hearing it at school and ending up with the wrong answer rather than how I wanted her to understand the issue in the context of the values important to our family. My kid actually watched her first PG-13 movie at a church sleepover event (Legally Blonde). I was shocked that this was at a church weekend get together. But I realized I needed to stop clutching my pearls about it and make sure I watched with her and talked about what I saw as good/bad. She was the only girl in the group that had not already seen the movie.[/quote]
