IT'S MOVIE TIME!
Summertime marks the release of many new movies. The industry has a rating system designed to give parents an idea of how appropriate a movie might be for their child. Regardless of the rating, many PG-13 movies are marketed to much younger children. What do you need to know?
• Familiarize yourself with the different ratings. You can go to www.mpaa.org/FilmRatings.asp to obtain that information. Motion Picture Association of America)
• Educate yourself on the movies that are available for your child to view. A great site for that is www.christianitytoday.com/movies
• Be aware that the movie advertisements and trailers your younger children may see on Saturday morning cartoons might be promoting movies rated PG-13.
• Be on the lookout for film industry merchandising, particularly with food products. Clever merchandising often targets a younger audience of movies that are rated for older audiences. That includes fast food restaurants.
• Be prepared to explain to your child why a movie is not appropriate. If he is old enough to attend a movie, he is old enough to understand.
• Remember, you are the parent. You are older and wiser and it is your responsibility to Be The Parent.
