So at my site, I saw kids watching inappropriate music videos and Family Guy etc., and it got me thinking of whether or not this is okay. At first, my reaction was that this is not okay, because they are kids and they should be innocent.
However, then I thought, if I think that way what makes it okay for me to watch these things? The only difference between me and a child is age, and they are going to be exposed to all this anyway so why not? I mean, it's not idea in my mind, but it's a bit unavoidable.
I wonder if exposure is more beneficial for children than protection? We try to censor things from kids all the time, but we know they always manage to find things out for themselves. Overprotection leads to unhealthy rebellion eventually, because they need to experience things for themselves. So how much protection is okay? How much exposure is okay?
