[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Junie B Jones and the Weird School books were quickly banned from our house. Junie B Jones was problematic because of her awful behavior and how lenient every adult was. The kids were allowed to behave horrifically. Weird School had bullying, misogyny (look at how the male characters treated the female characters), and the Teachers were written to be complete idiots. I found them disrespectful and tolerant of awful behavior.

A lot of books for kids include a certain amount of teasing and bad behavior but you normally can see how that is balanced by kids getting in trouble for said behavior.

I have not bought the Dork Diaries but I am fine skipping them. They don't sound like a series that I would appreciate. [/quote]

The books aren't written for you appreciate.  Ypu are not the target audience.  [b]My kids read all these books and never became rude or mean[/b].[/quote]

Different kids are more or less susceptible to media influence.  Moreover, some kids are more likely to follow rules and discontinue a behavior their parent disapproves of, whereas others will continue to push boundaries and do something in spite of their parent's disapproval.  In other words, the same books and tv shows will not affect every kid in the same way.  But many of us here are saying that we saw our kids begin to behave differently after exposure.[/quote]
