What she wanted to watch was Scooby Doo, which I was afraid was too violent (zombies and mummies) for her until I noticed that she was scrunching up next to me and smiling and looking up at me every time something “scary” happened. She knew that the violence on the TV was just pretend and so she was pretending to be scared also. So, I got into the game and we would scrunch up, look at each other, and say “Scary!” at the same time. Great fun! And very different than the realistic violence we adults watch all the time in the form of TV news.

My boys love Tom and Jerry and it doesn’t get much more violent than that. That said, my boys aren’t very violent themselves. They’ll defend themselves against someone trying to take a toy by screaming NO as loud as possible but they rarely hit. So I guess they haven’t learned how to work out sharing very well but they also don’t use violence much.
