We will enrol our kids in martial arts though. My niece has seen my BIL watch UFC and it scares her. I used to watch WWE (WWF back then) with my dad every saturday. It used to give me nightmares. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-or-do-you-let-your-kids-watch-ufc-wwe-or-boxing#post-415454 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:50:49 +0000 Foodnerd81 415454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ditto what everyone else is saying-- we don't watch it, so I can't see how they would want to. Boxing, maybe during the olympics if it is on or something.<br /> But DH definitely wants them to do some kind of martial art. He took classes even in college and really likes it and feels like he has better spatial awareness and is better at a lot of other sports because of it. I just die from cuteness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-or-do-you-let-your-kids-watch-ufc-wwe-or-boxing#post-415448 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:47:30 +0000 MrsBrewer 415448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not. We don't watch that kind of stuff in our home anyways, so I doubt our children will even be in a position to watch it (while around us) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-or-do-you-let-your-kids-watch-ufc-wwe-or-boxing#post-415447 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:47:24 +0000 autumnlove 415447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure, but not til junior high. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-or-do-you-let-your-kids-watch-ufc-wwe-or-boxing#post-415445 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:47:07 +0000 mrsjazz 415445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't but only because we don't watch it ourselves. </p> <p>But I grew up watching WWF and um, midget wrestling (I know little person is the correct word, but that's what it was called when we watched it) and it was entertaining.</p> <p>I second the martial arts! It's so cute to see the little kids learning how to kick and throw punches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-or-do-you-let-your-kids-watch-ufc-wwe-or-boxing#post-415443 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:45:05 +0000 tororojo 415443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would discourage it, especially since we don't watch it anyway. And when they're super young I think it could lead to confusion about why it's okay for people on tv to hit but it's not okay at home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-or-do-you-let-your-kids-watch-ufc-wwe-or-boxing#post-415437 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:39:41 +0000 mrbee 415437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I would... at least until the kids are in junior high.</p> <p>I've researched a lot about violence and the media, and I do think that a lot of concerns about it are overblown. But that said, I just don't see the need for elementary school kids to watch that stuff. We'll probably have the kids do a martial art though. RL FTW.</p> <p>Will you (or do you) let your kids watch UFC, WWE or boxing? </p>
