just as an anecdote, when my 3yo saw some videos she didn't like (i.e. she came across me watching something violent on TV) she asked me to turn it off, or backed in a corner where she couldn't see them, or walked away.
She also saw some odd nursery rhymes on youtube, but those didn't seem to annoy her.
Not all kids are the same, but I agree with the OP that we should maybe give the kids more credit.
- yzmtf2008 9y agoThese are some of the "most popular" child videos on YouTube. While I'd love to give the kids more credit, data shows otherwise.
- riffraff 9y agothe point was more that maybe most are not as disturbing to kids as we assume they are, not that kids will stop watching all of them. My little brother watched "fist of the north star" with me when he was 5, where people literally explode and evil guys routinely lick blood off their blades, and he still grew up to be a balanced person, as far as I can tell.
- yzmtf2008 9y agoWhether the videos are disturbing to kids is not the point, at all. Tons of things are not disturbing but harmful. Your little brother grew up just fine doesn't mean my (hypothetical) kids will grow up fine.
- cowpig 9y agoIs it at all possible that these "weird" videos are not disturbing to children?
