Blade series, Van Helsing .. sex, blood and lots and lots of violence seem the key to "a good movie".
Now, for some background - the girl has been diagnosed with PDD-NOS (a form of autism) and the boy has some narcissistic streaks, and most likely also a form of autism, which has not yet been diagnosed. Considering that puberty also hit full force...
How can i :
- make clear which kind of movies i do NOT want them to watch, without it becoming a power struggle (i`ll win, but still)
- get them to understand why i`m not too keen on them watching the movies
- make sure they don`t watch it when i`m not at home.
Usually, these are adorable kids - but on this point i`m feeling i`m on a downhill slope.
If you have experience or workable ideas - let me know.How can you help kids determine what movies (not) to watch?
since they are autistic i'd recommend asking a psychologist rather than people on the internet who dont know a whole lot about autism...
is it possible to let them watch the movies but watch with them and make sure they understand that there is a difference between the movie and real life...
p_l_gray - clearly you have no experience with autistic children, they are more difficult to deal with because i know in my experience even just getting their attention for long enough to explain something to them is difficult and then having them remember and understand what you said and that there are reasons for the rules can be even more difficult... autistic children arent bad kids who need punishment, they are special needs kids that have to be treated differenty sometimes
If they wanted to watch movies like Hostel or Saw, then I would be worried, not Blade and Van Helsing, they aren't so bad... They're both vampire movies so they have some blood, but not excessive, especially not for a vampire movie, and there's no nudity at all... I think you're overreacting...

How can you help kids determine what movies (not) to watch?Only suggestion I have is by example but if they are not your own it's not very helpful. Sorry. Maybe just give them somethign better to watch.
I have teh same problem with computer games and my daughter. Her father, who she lives with, got upset with em because I refuse to allwo ehr to play some of the nasty, bloody, evil games he does while she is in MY home.

when i was 7 i watched pg13 movies but idk?How can you help kids determine what movies (not) to watch?
WHAT?!?!
Who is the parent???
I didn't realize that kids have a choice.
You tell them what they can and can't watch. And punish them when they disobey. That's how I was brought up, that's how my kids are brought up.
What happened to good ol' discipline?
explain it but like most kids they will want to watch them anyone. put a block on your TV.
Cancel your cable service and don't allow any violent movies to be rented.
disconnect cable if u have it thats wat my mom did 2 me and i stopped watching tv
Children absorb the values depicted on screen and come to view aggression as acceptable behavior. Children who see both heros and villains on television getting what they want through violence are likely to conclude that violence is an effective way to resolve conflicts. They may become less likely to intervene when they see it.
Media-induced aggressiveness can be reduced by cutting down on television use and by parental monitoring and guidence of the shows the children watch.
There are other ways, soon as I remember them I'll let you know.
well my dad let me watch any movies i wanted as long as i didn't say or try anything from the movies
