Christa's having a difficult time falling to sleep the last couple of nights.
Tears. Fears.
She spent some time at a friend's house a few days ago and saw a "scary'" movie. Doesn't know what the movie was--says it had an alien in it--some kind of monster made out of sticks. I don't watch alien movies. I don't know.
Here's my frustration:
Christa is six years old. She was over my friend's house because I was out of town and my friend was watching her until Rob got off work.
I don't think a six-year-old is able to monitor movies. I don't think a six-year-old should have to monitor movies. That's what moms and dads are for.
And--when a young child is over visiting or playing at my house, I only put in movies that they are comfortable with--even if these movies are "young" for the other kids in my house.
Is that reasonable? |
