It depends on the age of the child and how mature they are. My 10 year old is mature so I say yes to her but my 8 year old, I would prob say NO

Answer 5

Lots of good points are made.  What kind of books are you talking about.  Is the subject not age appropriate.  Reading books that can help your child experience emotions indirectly is a great way for you to teach your child how to deal with different emotions and situations.  The key is to read together and discuss what you have read!

Answer 7

Children should be exposed to different forms of literature, but always with a parent's guidance. Read together, ask questions, have family dialogues going, especially with sensitive material. It's comforting to them to know that you are involved and good for you to stay on top of any issues or questions that might crop up.
