[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did not allow them until my youngest could read long books. We picked Harry Potter as our test case. After younger kid could read Book 6, we got an iPad, followed by the Switch. Around 2nd grade. It is a Pandora's Box. Pandora's Box is a story of the bad things about humanity, tempered by the good thing mixed in (Hope). Don't rush it. They pick it up quickly and go very deep.[/quote] Around 2nd grade? I wouldn't let a 7 year old read Book 6 of Harry Potter. [/quote] You do you. Books are less scary than movies and TV. Fairytales have all that stuff. Most video games involve some sort of violence. I had read the Little House on the Prairie books between 5-7. There's lots of disaster and scary stuff in those. Just not fictional monsters.[/quote]
