I think he just wants to know. I can't place my finger on exactly "why", but I think there is a more underlying reason I am missing.
My son has a facination with things such as,
WHY are there ratings for movies- why can he watch some pg-13 movies, but yet some PG movies are not allowed.
We discuss this EVERY time we go to the theatre or get a movie from blockbuster.
I have also noticed that the past couple times we go to blockbuster he focuses his eyes on horror movie covers and asks what happens in the movies that makes them rated R...
*sigh* ---- With him, he has to know "why" and "what happens". Which I think is fine, and we feel we need to educate him on things age appropriate of course, yet at the same time, at age 11, I feel on edge about him reading some of the things out of revelation that could create a "horror" picture for him too.
My son gets hyper focused on things without self moderation. Of course I know this is part of the training a child, to teach them self control and moderation. My son has a moderate to a severe case of ADHD which makes it hard at times to get through to him and UN focused on certain things. He's extremely intelligent, and I know God has a plan for Him in the ministry with such high energy...
Maybe I am just over reacting?
