Seven-year-olds have been playing the squid game. Should we ban their game or talk to them about the series?<

For those who have not seen the series, I will only remind you with two sentences: Competitors who lose in individual rounds are shot by the "judges". The winner (only one) who successfully overcomes all the pitfalls of the game will take home a good package of money. Thus, the child may (or may not) take a few observations into his or her life. Roughly speaking: Almost everything is allowed for success and money. So I cheat and kill. Whoever has the money sets the rules and can afford anything. Weaker individuals are a burden for a successful team and it is therefore possible (necessary) to get rid of them. Anyone who has read Machiavelli's Ruler knows that the above sentences literally copy his five-hundred-year-old text.

So what about the fact that the children watch the series and then imitate it during the game. You don't even look after inquisitive children, and as the classic Forbidden Fruit says, it tastes best. So from today's point of view, if a child has access to the Internet (or his friends), it is only a matter of time before they see the first porn in addition to this series.

So the ban can't do anything (perhaps for a while) and maybe the only way to tackle the problem is communication if you want to talk to the children about the topic. Explain, often argue, ask questions to the child and answer them at the same time. Of course, the question arises as to whether, for example, the teacher is well-founded and ready to have a conversation on this topic and, if the school rules allow it at all, the approach of his parents. (Recall the age-old differences in society, how, from how many years and whether to teach sex education at all).

I rather see the absence of time for parents to talk to their offspring. The problem is certainly that. Problem suitable for solving. Of course, what a family's different view of a given "topic" and also a willingness (unwillingness) to address it. There simply isn't and never will be a clear guide to the solution. And how would you solve the whole matter or do you solve it? Write us.
