Our son is almost three and seems to be understand peril a little more…?

I’m someone that gets engrossed in films and feel sad for the characters when something goes wrong where as my wife can laugh at it going wrong. My son seems to be a bit like me and we are a little concerned about film choices.

We watched Home Alone over Christmas and he got upset that the boy was home alone and his parents were on a plane to a point where he wanted it turned off. We managed to get him to watch it just fine and he laughed at bits and was content that mummy and daddy came home.

We caught the beginning of Pete’s Dragon and he wanted to know where mummy and daddy went and in the moment saying the got hurt in the car and had gone away for a long time and that he was getting new parents didn’t help.

We’ve managed to save it in the end but feel like we need to vet some films before he sees them as so many films have the kids separated from their parents and we don’t want him getting a complex.
