It was a really cute episode. Like, I would be able to show that to her, but not a more gruesome adult movie like Amistad.
I also wanted to add, to Teena:
When dealing with children, you cannot go on age alone. You have to consider the MATURITY of the child. A child age 7 can be more mature and able to handle more than a 13 year old. So, don't get caught up with age or intelligence even. It is about maturity.

The flip side of this coin is the fact that our children 'appear' to be mature when actually they aren't. They are given access to info when they arent really able to process it properly. Evidence of this is teenage pregnancy statistics, crime in schools and the new surge of young adults committing murder. They are getting this bad info from television and music. While I am not implying that the cause of these problems is solely over exposure to inappropriate information, I believe that it has played a tremendous role.
Back on topic. This little girl will grow up to be a fabulous woman doing faboulous things. Her parents are doing a great job with her especially if she is confident and confortable in her own skin. But, I am concerned that she will feel cheated because she didnt have much of a childhood.
