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????

To fix your auto correct, go to settings, then language, then keyboard and autocorrect- toggle it back on x

Please don’t do this. You are setting her to fail - there’s a decent chance she will not be able to watch it (again) but this time with an audience of her friends. Alternatively she sits through it to fit in and is upset for weeks. Again I’m just going off @Mummabear04‘s post.

6 is still very little. Be her safe place. Be the person who tells her she is loved whatever, and she doesn’t need to fit in. There are brilliant animated videos of all the songs on Netflix, maybe that would be a good place to start?

Agree, 6 is little there’s no compulsory viewing of anything.

Im not saying push a 6 year old to watch it, there are people on here saying its for teens/young adults!!

Its really not that scary, its an animated film about a kpop band hunting demons, its done in a quite comedic way.

The first 5 minutes are a little scary especially if your child is sensitive but once you get into it, it's all good. My daughter wasn't sure at first but loves it now. The songs are all good too!!

I don't quite understand the contoversy.

I think it's fine. My four year old has seen it multiple times. I watched it alone beforehand to make sure it was ok and I think it's a genuinely good film with a powerful message about bravery and self acceptance. It's no scarier than a lot a classic Disney films. I'm a devout Christian if that makes any difference and I found nothing in it that ran counter to my values.
In terms of bad influences, I'm more bothered about Peppa Pig and her shitty attitude. Huntrix are no problem for me
