I think a child's maturity can only be honestly evaluated by the people that know them best. sadly - sometimes, that isn't the parents. So you just hope you know what you're doing, say a prayer and jump. kiran I don’t think that New Moon is really all that bad – there isn’t nudity and a lot of cursing.

So you just hope you know what you’re doing, say a prayer and jump.

There was less sexual content and violence in that movie than there was in most commercials. I encourage my daughter to ask me questions about things she doesn't understand -- that way I know she's getting the right information from me rather than her friends (which is how I found out about sex in third grade after a boy brought a porn magazine to the park). No matter how much you shelter them they will eventually be exposed to something -- and I would rather she be informed than not so she can make the right decisions. I took my 10 year old to see it.

All girls should see this movie. Otherwise, how are they going to know that the appropriate response to a boyfriend breaking up with them is to become a completely despondent whacko? Girls need to learn these lessons! PS: Team Bella! Way to wallow! I agree. All girls should see this movie.

But their mother is a Twilight Series junkie who suggested and took them on a Forks Wa. trip this past summer :) We are going again this weekend. Were they 10 and wanted to go? Not sure... the movie is pretty tame, but has it's scary moments (from a 10 year olds perspective anyway). And smoochy stuff with Bella and Edward. The next two movies should be even steamier if the books content is any indication.. I took my 12 year old daughters to see it.

There is violence, there is very suggestive sexual behavior... absolutely not. And why expose your children to this business now, when you can wait?! It won't hurt any. I am absolutely in shock that because someone things that the writer belong to a certain religious group that somehow it is okay for your small child to watch the movie. That's a VERY bizarre way of thinking!! I am sorry, but no ten year old – mormon or not should be seeing this movie. There is violence, there is very suggestive sexual behavior… absolutely not.
