I'm not a father, so really I dont have much right to critisize, but I will do it anyway. I, personally, don't see the point in "babying" your kid. There are a lot of worse things in real life then watching an "R" movie, or playing an "M" game etc. If and when I ever have a kid, I would not want to treat him/her as a little kid. Instead, I'd want to treat him/her as an equal. I would want him/her to know that millions of people died fighting in WW2, and I would want him/her to realize the brutality with which humans can treat each other. And if that means showing the kid SPR, or the Pianist, etc, then I would do that.

My point being, in my opinion, parents need to be less protective of their kids, and treat them as they would have liked to be treated at that age. Kids need to know the reality of whats going on around the world. I think a lot of the problems with today's youth arose as a result of being "babied."
