I called my four year old brother the other day and asked what he was doing. With nothing but excitement in his voice he yelled at the top of his lungs “
AVATAR!!”
Having seen a few episodes I was shocked to hear m
y parents allowed this. The series follows the adventures of the main protagonist Aang and his friends, who must save the world by defeating the Fire Lord and ending the destructive war with the Fire Nation. (Wik
ipedia) The target audience is ages 6-11. The show is very graphic and has complex ideas that would make any adult ponder. I wonder why my parents allowed my four year old innocent brother watch such a graphic show. I then realized that it is on Nickelodeon. This use to be a safe zone for children but with shows like Mr.
Meaty we have to wonder what we are allowing our kids to watch. What is “safe” for them? Parents fail to realize that
Nickelodeon is meant for ages 10-17 not 4 year olds.
