Why do you say that children under 10 should never watch ghost movies?

If you want to ask which culture has the widest mass base in China, the answer is the culture of terror. From the old man to the yellow-mouthed child, which one blames ghosts and ghosts for not opening their mouths? If nothing else, just say a well-known "big monkey caught you", I don't know how many people have terrible childhood memories in an instant.

Strictly speaking, "the monkey caught you" is not a complete sentence, but the second half emphasizes the consequences. The first half includes many scenes, such as:

"Don't sleep any more, the big horse monkey is going to catch you!"

"If you don't eat well, the monkey will catch you!"

"Still talk back? The big horse monkey caught you! "

……

In fact, monkeys never have a future. Nobody knows what it is and what it looks like. However, this does not hinder its lofty position in the eyes of children. When you get to the monkey, you get it without fighting, for fear that one will be taken away by the monkey carelessly. Behind the frightened little face, there are often adults' smug smiles and smug subtext: "I still can't cure you!" " "

Iron monkey, flowing water from generation to generation. The longevity of monkeys is precisely because parents are keen on "scaring children". As everyone knows, the behavior passed down from generation to generation actually reflects the pursuit of horror culture by adults and the neglect of children's psychological development and health.

How much do you know about horror culture?

The culture of terror has a long history in China. All kinds of foxes in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, all kinds of ghosts who worship the gods and travel to the west, the legendary Wong Tai Sin and the beautiful snake have different shapes and endless changes; In horror novels and movies, zombies and foodies are more scary; With the deepening of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, vampires, zombies and ghosts came to China in droves. From folklore to literature, film and television works, horror culture is almost everywhere. The culture of terror seems to have a natural attraction to human beings. The more scared you are, the more you want to find out. However, is the horror culture really suitable for children?

I remember when I was a child, Ching-Ying Lam's zombie series was in full swing, and adults and children watched it with relish. I am a mouse. I accidentally watched Mr. Zombie on TV and almost vomited blood. In the next few days, zombies seem to be everywhere; This shadow has been with me for almost half a year. Because of this experience, I am very, very reluctant to let my children get in touch with horror movies too early.

Horror culture is not suitable for children.

Some parents think that taking their children to watch horror movies can exercise their courage and make them braver. This idea is groundless, and the practice is even less desirable. Experts suggest that children under 10 must not watch horror movies for the following reasons:

1. Children are too young to tell the difference between real life and movies. After watching the horror film, I feel that there are ghosts in all directions. I dare not stay at home alone, dare not go to the toilet at night, or be awakened by nightmares. Then I am always afraid that a ghost will suddenly pop up behind the curtain. ...

It is particularly important that the child's nervous system is underdeveloped. At this time, if you are subjected to greater emotional stimulation, it is likely to affect the development of brain nerves. As an adult, it may cause anxiety, depression, emotional instability and even emotional abnormality.

Seeing ghost movies is cool for a while, but after watching it, you are fooled. The subsequent influence of horror culture is much more terrible than the horror film itself!

I have been scared, how to remedy it?

Once the baby has been poisoned by ghost films, parents can calmly guide their children from the following three aspects:

1. Tell stories in the opposite direction

It doesn't matter that children are afraid of ghosts. If children know that ghosts have weaknesses and are not omnipotent, then their fear of ghosts will be correspondingly weakened. For example, you can tell your child that this ghost is strong outside and weak inside, and it looks fierce. In fact, it is most afraid of its ghost wife. After the child smiles through tears, his inner fears will be reduced a lot. At that time, Master Xing's ghost film was all the rage, because it not only created fear, but also used humor to resolve the fear, so that the audience's nervousness was relieved in time and the viewing experience was good.

Face your fears, don't hide them.

Simply put, it is "where there are ghosts, look where." If the child is afraid of ghosts under the bed or in the closet, then parents can take him to see these places together. Listen, there are no ghosts here, are there? Doing so will dilute his fear of ghosts. Just like Solomon's Aquarius, the demon spirit locked in the bottle and the legend surrounding it are always the most frightening. After opening the bottle, people may think that this is all.

Step 3 make ghosts cute

Get rid of the ghost image and buy some soft devil dolls for the children. When children see the soft and lovely side of ghosts, they will find that the so-called ghosts are all fake, not only not terrible, but even a little cute-who will be afraid of a lovely ghost again? In this respect, I prefer Halloween in the United States, where monsters haunt, wizards parade all over the street, and children take part in performance shows, turning scary things into fun games.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and some office workers in the circle of friends warn each other: Don't stay up late today, don't work overtime today. Haha, actually, the Mid-Autumn Festival meant that the crops were ripe in autumn. According to the law, people should sacrifice new rice to report a bumper harvest to their ancestors, so every family should go to the grave to worship their ancestors. Because it involves sweeping graves to worship ancestors, the Mid-Autumn Festival is covered with a veil of terror, and various legends and supernatural stories are circulating.

As an experienced person, I can't let my children be scared out of my wits any more. We should teach them to peel off the bizarre shell of terror, help them stay away from the culture of terror, bid farewell to monkeys, let demons and ghosts disperse together, and create a "comfortable circle" that is really suitable for their growth. After all, sunshine, warmth and love are the best nourishment for children's physical and mental needs.
