is that kids over 16 should be able to watch but warn that the content of the series is violent. “Parents need to know that the level of violence is very intense in“Characters are systematically tortured and killed for the sadistic pleasure of a game master. Adults have sex, and there are threats of sexual violence: Women are grabbed by the hair and beaten.
Our primary school sent a letter to parents telling us not to let kids watch Squid Game. And held an all school assembly telling the kids not to watch Squid Game. Result? Children who really want to watch Squid Game.
“Many parents think, ‘My child can understand and differentiate between reality and fiction,'” Laura Linn Knight, a parenting educator and former elementary school teacher, told. “But children cannot differentiate as much as we think. So when we’re sending in these images and expecting them to do what an adult can do, it’s unrealistic for them.”
She continued: “They’re taking childhood games that they’re playing on the school yard, like red light/green light and tug of war, so children are actively playing these games with their friends. Now they’re being exposed to it in a way where killing is involved and it’s life-threatening.” Of course, because the show is so popular with teens, younger kids want in on the action and want to watch it themselves. Bottom line — you know your kids but you may not always know the depth to which they process this type of violence. When it comes to our kids’ health and well-being, playing it safe with this one may be the best option.
Nope..no kids should watch this .even some adults can't handle it..
But why not? You seem to think everything else is appropriate for them. Yet, when I choose what isn’t for my own child, I’m told I have too much white Protestant privilege.🤷🏼♀️
We watched it WITH our 14 yr old. It was brutal, I mean ALOT of people die, but it wasn’t gory like Saw (I haven’t actually seen Saw). I don’t think we’d let any kids younger than 14 see it and only then with supervision. It really was brutal to watch. (It was exciting and good!)
Today my running club of third through fifth graders explained it to me and I was horrified.
My kids have only been exposed to the YouTube shorts of people re-enacting the show with their pets. THOSE are pretty funny.
Tale as old as time. Growing up, my parents were super strict about what I watched. I had friends allowed to watch horror movies and those with stricter parents who banned Disney movies. Just use common sense!
Unfortunately pretty much all of the violent bloody scenes are available on YouTube out of the context of the show. So kids can see all the violence but none of the brilliance. 🤨
My 18 Y/O won't even watch it and she is a die hard fan of all things on Korean TV.
Good question, I don’t think many parents seen this “game show”. Is quite annoying and stupid! A 9- year old shouldn’t be watching it because why? I’d like to know.
How are they showing that stuff on TV even? People being killed? Torture? For real or for movie real?
