To let DD watch Kpop demon hunters

DDs friends are going mad for Kpop demon hunters, they're all around 5-7 years old and DD has just turned 6 years. A few months ago she told me that she had had a night mare about just seeing it flash up on netflix menu then a couple of weeks ago she asked to watch it and insisted she wasnt scared. I put it on but litterally after 5 minutes, I could see she was scared and put it off saying, "we'll try again another time." She didn't object and seemd quietly relieved.

DD has always had very vivid nightmares, doesn't cope well with seeing loads of ghosts around halloween time and is very sensative to things she sees on tv. When she was 3 years old, there were even some episodes of hey duggee and puffin rock that were too scary. Quite often she will ask to switch things off because she is very sensitive to them (We don't watch much tv really anyway as DD prefers to draw or play).

Fast forward and DD is asking to watch this kpop thing again. I said I'd have a look at it but I'm just a bit worried it will be months (if not years) of nightmares. I get she wants to fit in with her friends but she is just so sensitive. Is it suitable for young kids? I have my toddlers with me all day so can't stick it on the tv to check it.

Ps sorry for all the spelling mistakes. For some reason my phone has switched off autocorrect and I'm dyslexic. How do i fix this too????

Is there a way of just watching the songs?

My DD (5) is one of the only ones in her class who doesn’t watch it. For me it’s the attitude of the characters - just not appropriate for 5yr olds to be copying.

we don’t usually have Netflix anyway but got a free month with sky before we’ve cancelled so we won’t have it for long. I also have a 3yr old who watched it with her and loved it - but I’m not giving in letting them keep watching it. It’s absolute tripe but worse than other things they seem obsessed about.

It is brilliant. Why not invite a few of her friends, including some who have already seen it, round for a KPop Demon Hunter viewing party? When my kids were little I always tried to find ways to de-scare a situation rather than avoid it completely, unless it was inappropriate obviously. There are some bits of ‘mild peril’ but tell her she can leave and got into the kitchen when they’re on.

My 7 year old was very frightened of it for a few nights after watching it. She loves the songs and the vibe, but can’t watch the movie.

You have given a very very compelling op as to why this would be completely inappropriate for you daughter

Watch it yourself
you know your daughter
