Do you let your young kids watch scary films?

I wouldn't do it, solely because it may cause him to have nightmares.

My toddlers who are 2 and 3 watch Halloween kids stuff on YouTubeKids and I think it looks a little scary at times but they actually LOVE Halloween especially the 2 year old and they don’t seem scared at all 😅😅😅 I think if they like what they’re watching and don’t seem scared and it’s age appropriate it’s okay. Like you, I’d not let them watch gory/disturbing bits though looool.

yeah from 2 to 3 my sons favourite film was the nightmare before Christmas 🤣
He’s not scared at all of anything but I worry he’s just desensitised!

Mine just wanders out the room if they get scared. My daughter found little mermaid action scary. Doesn’t need to be a scary film. Would still encourage them to watch a variety of films. That said we would probably avoid any films about spiders.

I’ll try that with mine 😂😂😂 I doubt it! There are probably levels to it haha. Tbh mine can still say if they think something is scary! And even then they say it casually 😂 my 3 year old said Paddington was scary when I asked him if he wanted to watch it again 😂😂😂 and I’m thinking but you were fine when you watched it and you watch Halloween stuff😂😂😂🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ but you can tell what your son likes and dislikes as long as it’s age appropriate, you’re the judge 😊

Oh my god your son is so brave! I’ve tried my daughter with watching a film and she can’t cope with ANY peril at all, we had to turn off beauty and the beast because Gaston threw belles book and that’s ‘too mean’ and she was in tears screaming at me to turn the Peter rabbit film off because Mr McGregor is also too mean 😂 I think as long as he’s not having nightmares it’s fine.

My 4 year old watched Chucky with us (not on purpose) and it’s very violent.. Never again. He now have a knife obsession 😅😭 He’ll watch horror clips on YouTube that my husband would leave on when he goes to bed as well. He be scared at times but also still like to watch it 🤦🏻‍♀️

My 2 year olds favourite movie is the Addams family 😂 she was obsessed with the Disney channel Halloween movies from my childhood too

I would let him unfortunately nightmares are very common and kids are going to have them even if they never watch anything scary the shows your describing sound like kid shows some kids just like spooky things I liked spooky things as a kid and my almost 3 year likes spooky stuff too I would say just let him watch things for kids

it's not like you letting him watch the exorcist or the nightmare on Elm Street
