Or maybe <em>Ferrari<\/em>), and you\u2019d like nothing more than to watch it right away. Only problem? Your baby&#8217;s bedtime isn&#8217;t for another 3 hours and by then you\u2019ll be too tired to focus on a movie. But&#8230; they\u2019re babies, right? How much could it hurt if you watch it while they\u2019re still up? We know it\u2019s not a good idea to let young, impressionable <a href=\"https:\/\/tinybeans.com\/must-see-family-films\/\">kids watch movies<\/a> with lots of violence, sex, and profanity, but is it okay to watch a rated-R movie with babies and toddlers around? The answer is a bit more complex than you might think.<\/p>\n<h2>Babies are being exposed to screens\u2014but not all screen time is equal<\/h2>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthychildren.org\/English\/family-life\/Media\/Pages\/Where-We-Stand-TV-Viewing-Time.aspxo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">According to the American Academy of Pediatrics<\/a>, children under 18 months (as in babies and young toddlers) shouldn\u2019t really be watching screens\u2014video chats with grandparents or other loved ones being the exception. The AAP also says kiddos 18 to 24 months should only watch \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/tinybeans.com\/top-toddler-tv-shows-for-language-development\/\">high-quality programming<\/a>\u201d\u2014meaning they probably frown on toddlers being in the room while you binge-watch the John Wick collection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBabies typically start to really understand words around six months old and\u2026they are very much social learners, so direct in-person interaction is what helps them to develop,\u201d says Dr. Jacqueline Benson, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.deeperthancolor.com\/drjbenson.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Deeper Than Color<\/a> and founder of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.centerstagepsych.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Center Stage Psychology<\/a>. \u201cPart of that process is often imitating what they\u2019re observing around them, which is why we encourage parents to limit screens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But given how demanding life is for most families, it&#8217;s not surprising that many overworked and under-supported families rely on screen time to entertain children. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/health-children-tv-dc\/despite-warnings-most-u-s-babies-watch-tv-idUKN0734098220070507\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">90% of babies under 2 and 40% of infants<\/a>\u00a0regularly watch television<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/health-children-tv-dc\/despite-warnings-most-u-s-babies-watch-tv-idUKN0734098220070507\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">,<\/a> and most kids spend an <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/ency\/patientinstructions\/000355.htm#:~:text=Most%20American%20children%20spend%20about,child%20to%20sleep%20at%20night\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">average of 5 to 7 hours on screens per day<\/a>. Moreover, on average, US children<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/publications.aap.org\/pediatrics\/article-abstract\/130\/5\/839\/32417\/Background-Television-in-the-Homes-of-US-Children?autologincheck=redirected\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> between the ages of 8 months and 8 years are exposed to about 232 minutes of background television per day<\/a>, which studies have shown hurts <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2014\/07\/140724104113.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">their ability to focus on play behavior<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While some studies have already yielded insight into the effects of rated-R movies on children, like how they<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2010\/03\/100311123616.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> tend to increase the likelihood of adolescents trying alcohol<\/a> by affecting their sensation-seeking behavior, the jury is technically out on how this affects babies and young toddlers. But that doesn\u2019t mean there aren\u2019t some solid theories.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile very young infants may not fully comprehend the content in adult tv and movies, we also know adult content isn\u2019t helping them to positively develop any of their foundational skills like language and play,\u201d says Dr. Benson.<\/p>\n<h2>R-rated movies can influence children&#8217;s behavior<\/h2>\n<p>Additionally, Dr. Benson explains that toddlers who are old enough to grasp the language and simple social themes are in a position to be more strongly impacted by these films.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat&#8217;s when we\u2019ll see them start to imitate those themes of violence in their play or you might hear a child repeat something they overheard. These behaviors can definitely have social repercussions, and that impacts child development as well,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if the toddler is repeating adult language, they could get into trouble at preschool (though it wouldn\u2019t necessarily be their fault) or be viewed negatively by peers or even the parents of peers.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Bensons also says that research tells us that there are other risks. Studies have repeatedly linked <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/publications.aap.org\/pediatrics\/article\/124\/5\/1495\/72111\/Media-Violence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">children\u2019s exposure to violent media<\/a> (often found in R-rated movies, television, and video games) with increases in aggressive behavior, nightmares, and fear of being harmed, as well as a general desensitization to violence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say this rings true for toddlers even if they seem like they aren\u2019t directly engaging with the media but are simply in the room,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the truth may also lie in other areas, not just the exposure itself. Dr. Benson says parents who are pretty hands-off about the type of content their children watch are often also lax in other areas, such as language and behaviors they might be exposed to in their own households. It\u2019s a difficult thing to narrow down, which is why monitoring media content helps reduce children&#8217;s future risk factors when it comes to things like violence and substance abuse.<\/p>\n<h2>It&#8217;s probably best to play it safe<\/h2>\n<p>Overall, it\u2019s pretty evident that watching an R-rated movie with your baby in the room (not directly watching) won\u2019t ruin them for life, but it should probably be avoided. After all, you never know how what they are overhearing or casually glancing at will impact them later. And when it comes to toddlers, we should be even more mindful of what they see or hear, given their increased ability to imitate and absorb the content.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI often point parents towards <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.commonsensemedia.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Common Sense Media<\/a> as a resource to help them navigate their kid\u2019s relationship with media,\u201d says Dr. Benson. \u201cIt\u2019s a helpful resource that provides breakdowns of different shows, movies, and games and helps parents determine what is developmentally appropriate for their kids to have access to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So next time you\u2019re looking for something to watch, do a little research and find something more family-friendly. Or even better, get a sitter, or at least put the kids to bed early, so you don\u2019t have to worry about your little one having nightmares or accidentally dropping F-bombs at their next play date!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The answer is a bit more complex than you might think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":187728360,"featured_media":2159558,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[695753279],"city":[14331571,551419385],"ml_tag_age":[700852499],"ml_tag_interest":[700853274,700861258,700859579,700852587,700852433,700852609,700854204,700857012,700852669,700856971],"ml_tag_season":[700852448],"ml_tag_holiday":[700852449],"class_list":["post-2159478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-baby-help","category-baby-development","category-newborn","category-parenting","category-parenting-advice","category-toddler","tag-tny-feed","city-baby","city-national","ml_tag_age-adults","ml_tag_interest-binge-watch","ml_tag_interest-bullet-train","ml_tag_interest-child-development","ml_tag_interest-family-friendly","ml_tag_interest-high-quality","ml_tag_interest-know-how","ml_tag_interest-play-date","ml_tag_interest-risk-factors","ml_tag_interest-screen-time","ml_tag_interest-substance-abuse","ml_tag_season-all-seasons","ml_tag_holiday-non-holiday"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v20.5 (Yoast SEO v22.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Is It Okay to Watch Rated-R Movies Around Babies and Toddlers?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We dug into the research on R-rated movies to see if you can watch with babies or toddlers around.
