I agree, mostly. I think the key is conversation and guidelines over censorship. Nothing is banned in our house (at least nothing that has come up SO FAR. Knock wood.) but several things have an age barrier. My daughter is 11 and knows that she is not allowed to read "Mature" manga until she is sixteen. And she knows why. And she chafes at this, but would rather read some manga online than none, and so we come to an agreement.

Her fantasy life is pretty much off-limits because I can't get inside her head, but what FEEDS that fantasy life is well monitored, discussed, and placed in context. An example is in the comments just above this.

What I try not to do, is judge her on the quality of what she likes - and let me tell you, that is REALLY difficult when she is watching Hannah Montana re-runs. *shudder*

I would WAY prefer Twilight over Hannah Montana.
