I knew it when I was young. My friends knew it. My kids know it and knew it at a young age. I remember years ago putting Jumanji in for them to watch. The start is kinda freaky, scary. I forgot about that part. Looked over at the youngest who was five at the time and asked if it was scary. She said something like, "SHHHHH! I'm trying to watch. I know it's just fake."
And of course at a young age it's easy to see what real chaos looks like.
Your kid was smarter at 5 than most adults are as...adults XD
Yeah. I'm not sure why these adults don't tell me to shut up either.
Probably because they know you're right? ;D
The only times I'm right is when I'm not wrong.
(That sounded way better in my head.)
That makes perfect grammatical and logical sense.
Dammit. Right again...
Ahh I watched The Brave Little Toaster as a kid, one of the scariest at the time but still favorite cartoons. Also Once Upon a Forest (1993) was incredible, sadly I haven't seen anything similar lately.
The age recommendations are certainly helpful but they are just guidelines, not rules.
My sister's favorite when she was 5 was Spirited away, she watched it 10 times a day every day for along time :S The movie starts off with the kids parents being turned into pigs for being greedy and the kid works really hard to save them. Not something we planned to show a 5 year old, my brother and I were watching it and she saw it and got hooked. The other sister was so terrified of Beetlejuice cartoons that she had dad burn them xD (those were my brother's favorites). I think the main issue is when kids watch things alone, no matter what. So many parents leave cartoons/movies on just to get rid of kids, instead of taking the time to bond with them.
I remember that toaster movie. Vaguely but it's there somewhere in my mind.
Teaching kids what's real and what's fake early on is important. Maybe society needs to grow up and stop lying. So many traditions include made up characters like Santa. They go from living in a fantasy to a rather shocking real world. That can't be good for the mind.
