:shock:

I hope you will enjoy the 5 minutes of the movie before you will have to leave with a terrified, crying kid. [/quote]

No, she will be fine based on past experiences. [/quote]

I find that weirdly disturbing.[/quote]

And in stark contrast, [b]I find it commendable that this parent has raised a child who based on this evidence appears able to determine what things are not worth being frightened by. Iow, I find a 4 year old who is able to recognize that a fictional movie is not a threat to her security quite advanced and admirable, not disturbing at all.[/b]

I have taken a similar approach with my girls because I saw no benefit and several possible drawbacks to encouraging them to be frightened by things which do not present legitimate threats through my action of presuming they would be frightened and unable to handle them.

Why would a 4 year old watching animated movies without becoming terrified be disturbing?[/quote]

I am not an expert but I think developmentally it's tough for kids that age to differentiate between real life and fiction. They're still figuring things out in the world so I don't think this is commendable, typical, or has anything to do with parenting style. My kid is only 2.5 and has never seen a movie so what do I know. [/quote]
