[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 557761, member: 13542"] Terry, violent visuals for developing brains can be traumatic. I would agree with most that it may be in his best interests to prohibit this as long as you can. I have a personal example from my own childhood where my mother, in her inability to be able to decipher appropriate parenting behaviors, took me to see Psycho when I was in the 5th grade. I didn't even know at that point in my life that violence of that nature even existed. The visual of the shower scene did not effectively leave my memory for probably over 30 years. As an adult woman I always purchased clear shower curtains because I could not take a shower without the door locked and the ability to see every part of any bathroom I was in. Fortunately that need has left me, but I know from personal experience how negative those visuals can be. Good for you for questioning it and following your instincts. [/QUOTE]
