I am curious at what age do you let your child start watching rated R movies and do you watch the movie first before you let the child watch it?
Do you screen more for (if you screen) violence, language or sexual content?
I personally use a website called Common Sense Media that lets you read what the content of a movie is and it describes the level of violence, language and sexual content.
I screen movies for sexual content. I don't mind if the kids see ppl being shot or blown up and I don't mind language. But I am of the belief that you don't expose children to ADULT sexual situations. I don't think I will ever let my kids (while they are still young and living with me) watch a movie with strong sex scenes or graphic sexual talk. I think that is taking away too much innocence and the kids have the rest of their lives to watch that kind of stuff if they choose to.
But I have also talked to other ppl before in my life that said they don't mind their kids seeing two adults having sex on the TV or movie but they would screen for violence and language.
My kids are 12, 13 and a stepson who is 14 (and his mother lets him watch whatever he wants to) and a DS28.
At what age will you let your child watch rated R movies?
