How do we handle it when kids want to watch, read, or listen to something that parents think is of questionable appropriateness? We recently read The Hunger Games together – mom and 6th grader – and in Episode 3 of Kidliterate we discuss how we arrived at the decision to do that, as well as what we look at when making these judgment calls in general. Join us!

Links we discussed:

• The Hunger Games
• Common Sense Media’s review of The Hunger Games, Book 1
• Common Sense Media

What we’re reading:

• Does My Head Look Big In This? by Randa Abdel-Fattah
• The Paris Wife by Paula McLain
