[blparent] Sensoring reading?

[Peggy]

It is a great book and really not that scary, on the other hand, reading IT 
at ten or eleven ... if I'd read it that young I'd have nightmares.  But 
again as long as someone knows what this child is reading and is there for 
him, I'd say, within reason, let them read.  Neither of my children are 
readers and if my 11 year old expressed an interest in reading something, 
I'd sure let him.  If I wasn't sure what was in it or what it was about, I 
might read it with him, you know, at the same time but not necessarily 
together.

The Stand is a book by Stephen King about a pleague. It's awesome!
The book Jo Elizabeth sites is called It.

Also very good.

I could think of worse books to read than the Stand.  My son is eleven and
if he wanted to read it I'd sure let him, and like you said, if kids want to

do something bad enough and are forbidden to, they'll find a way to do it
anyway.  As long as he's openly reading it then you or adults will be around

for questions.

Hey y'all,
After a conversation with a few people last night and this morning, I'm
curious.
A bit of background: My nephew and I were watching Stand By Me last night.
He said that he wanted to read the book. Red flags went up in my mind. He is

12. I know that he'd be fine reading half of Different Seasons, by Stephen
King, which is where the novella of stand by me is, but I can't remember
about the other half of the book. I think he'd enjoy shawshank redemption as

well.
People I spoke to said they were reading IT and other Stephen King books at
anywhere between 9 and 12.
I remember still reading the baby sitter's club books at that age.
A friend pointed out that if my nephew wants to read the books badly enough,

he'd find a way. I understand this point, but then think that he really
wouldn't have the access to them.
His 2nd point was that as long as a kid is willing to discuss the books with

someone and is openly talking, then it could be a great thing.
What are your opinions? Would you or do you allow your kids to read books
above their age rating? Is this anything like sensoring TV and video games,
or are books different?
Pipi
