I believe that children have fragile minds that are influenced strongly by what they read, hear and see, don't you? For example, I have had a cub scout who at age 7 was reading books written for adults that were violent, without an adult discussing the books with the child. No guidance. His play with legos and balloons became violent and scary.
The books have become popular with teens and I did let my son read them in his teen years but not before we discussed the issues the books raise and the level of personal violence in them. They are a fantasy series which makes people think "kids" I suppose, but that genre can have a lot of violence, racism, fascism - it all bears discussion and an informed adult reading along with a young person. |
