With exciting posts ...

"Kimetsu no Yaiba" is a serialized manga by Koyoharu Gotouge that was published in "Weekly Shonen Jump" from 2016 to May.

Set in Japan during the Taisho era, the story of the main character, Sumijiro Kamon, whose family was killed by a demon, goes on a battle journey to return his younger sister who has become a demon to a human being, and attractive characters unfold. It features a fast-paced battle scene and a profound story centered on the bond between brother and sister.

Posts were booming on SNS.

"The movie was really good. It was really good."

"This work

depicts what

adults have to say seriously to their children."

On the other hand, some posts were posted from different perspectives.

"Parents all over the country! It's nice to go see a movie with my daughter and son .... Kimetsu no Yaiba is" PG12 "!

"The

devil's blade is written properly as PG12, and it is a prerequisite that the parents who make it look can manage the child properly."

"The person at work is also urged to be taken by a 5-year-old child this time. I told you to bring a movie, but when I asked if it was PG12, what was PG12? "

The flying "PG12" characters.

Do you know the meaning of this word correctly?

I asked Eirin

What is "PG12"?

"PG" in PG12 is an abbreviation for "Parental Guidance" in English and is read as "PG12".

In fact, most of the movies that are open to the public in Japanese movie theaters are judged by the Film Ethics Committee of the third-party film ethics organization and are divided into four categories.

Regarding "Theatrical version" Kimetsu no Yaiba "Infinite Train Edition", Eirin states that "a simple depiction of killing and bleeding with a sword can be seen and it is designated as PG12 category."

This poster says "Please check before watching the movie".

Four types of marks are posted, and "each mark has an important meaning to convey."

Of these, "PG12" explained that "elementary school students need advice and guidance."

Furthermore, on the homepage of the Film Ethics Organization, it is written as follows.

"Some of the content is stimulating and inappropriate for viewing by elementary school students. Generally, it is not suitable for viewing in the lower grades of infants and elementary school, and even in the upper grades, the growth process, knowledge, and maturity are individual. Since there are differences, it is a category that we expect from parents or guardians to give advice and guidance. "

Some people may mistakenly think, "Is it unsuitable for viewing? Should children under the age of 12 not see it?"

It's a little difficult to understand, so I asked the Film Ethics Organization what it means to give advice and guidance.

The secretary-general, who responded, declined, "I can't say it all because the content is different for each movie," and replied as follows.

Tomoharu Ishikawa, Secretary-General of the Film Ethics Organization

"Children under the age of 12 are not bad at seeing, but parents and guardians are asked to decide whether it is okay to show them to their children and whether to show them or not. That

is to say, if you are worried, you may decide not to show it, or even if you decide to show it, you should watch it together, and after you finish watching it, explain it carefully like "It's an impossible story in reality." I think it's desirable to get it. "

In other words, it was not a message that children under the age of 12 should not be shown, but a message that "parents and guardians should decide whether to show it to children."

Why are you scared when you see the video?

I asked an expert

In the first place, some children start crying when they see some kind of video and say "scary".

why is it.

We asked Dr. Kyoko Tanaka of the National Center for Child Health and Development, who cares for children's minds.

According to Dr. Tanaka, in the process of developing to understand that from the age of 4 to 6 people stand from the perspective of others, things can only be grasped well by focusing on their own knowledge and perspective. Say no.

For this reason, some children of this age may misunderstand what is happening around them as an event related to them, and point out that they may feel "scary" when they see the video. I will.

The daughter who saw the TV image ...

A society where programs and videos can be easily viewed on TVs and smartphones.

Some women are calling attention on Twitter based on past experiences that actually happened to their children.

A post that begins with the writing "I want parents with preschoolers to be absolutely careful".

Three years ago, the eldest daughter, who was 6 years old at the time, accidentally saw a video next to her husband who was napping with the TV on, and the experience that the situation became strange is spelled out. ..

Sua's post

"I suddenly start crying saying" The bruise on the piano teacher's arm will infect me ", or" I will die if I step on a cigarette stain on the road or a crushed tree nut stain ". Or say, "I'm scared that everyone passing by is looking at me!" And start crying. "

Sua's post

"I cried every time I touched my hands or feet except when I slept for 24 hours, and even when I was sleeping, I suddenly woke up and screamed. I still remember crying "I want to die with this child"

I talked to Mr. Sua who posted it directly on the phone.

Mr. Sua

"I posted it because I didn't want it to experience like my own family. At that time, I rushed to various places such as the psychiatry department of the hospital and explained the state of the child, but" Shock symptoms by video I don't know if it will be cured, "he said, and he was really hunted down."

After that, the eldest daughter went through counseling for about three months and gradually regained her composure, and now, three years later, she has completely forgotten about that time.

However, Sua says that this event changed her consciousness about the images she showed to her children.

Mr. Sua

"Until this happened, I thought it would be better not to show inappropriate images to children, but from this experience I thought that children could easily break. Only parents can keep their children safe, so I think it is necessary for parents to see the video together and understand what they are watching for their children. "

Let's know how to get along well

We asked Dr. Tanaka of the National Center for Child Health and Development again about what to do if the children feel scared.

Dr. Kyoko Tanaka, National Center for Child Health and Development

"I think it is important not to force children to keep watching by hitting adult values, such as putting up with it if they feel scared or looking back repeatedly. Even if you experience scary things, you can escape from misunderstandings by regaining your normal daily routine, such as playing your child's favorite games, eating three meals, and taking time with your family. You can. It's important to have a daily relationship that allows you to spend time with your child and regain peace of mind and safety. "

What is a good way to interact with young children so that they don't feel scared?

According to Dr. Tanaka, it is important to limit the images that children can see in advance and to reconfirm the necessity in the family.

He also points out that it is important for parents to see together rather than seeing it alone.

Dr. Kyoko Tanaka, National Center for Child Health and Development

"It is important to reduce the time that a child sees alone. Also, children's reactions are diverse. Instead of unilaterally hitting children with adult values. , Even when watching together with the family, give some information from the parents in advance about the videos and videos that the child said "I want to see this" and check if it seems to be scary. I want"
