Dapat po bang bawalang manood ang mga bata and youth ng certain movies/video shows?

Yes and no.

Yes kung sobrang bata at ang movie ay sobrang violent or sex-oriented or horror: anything that glorifies or promotes immorality, fear, violence or other negative values.

No kung yun na lang pagbabawal ang only protection mo for them. Lalo na kung medyo may edad na. Baka maging rebellious lang tuloy at lalong manood. O kaya, sa kababawal mo, maging curious at manood pa tuloy.

The best to do when children become older is to teach them to be discerning: to know right from wrong, to know good from bad taste, to determine good from bad themes, story lines, plots or stories. Children need to be trained to filter out bad from good, rubbish from treasure.

So, watch good and bad movies with them and discuss. Guide them as to what makes movies good or bad. Huwag puro pagbabawal.

“Train up a child in the way he should go and when his is old he will not depart from it,” sabi ng Bible.

Over-protectiveness, like pure prohibition, may backfire.

By practice and under your guidance, train children to recognize good from bad.
