News Limited conducted some research this month into how mums and dads parent their kids - and the results, which came out this weekend, were pretty interesting. The survey revealed the approach of NSW parents to computers, mobile phones, smacking, pocket money, alcohol, and boyfriend-girlfriend relationships. One statistic that caught my attention was about movies... 57 percent of parents said their kids aged 11-13 have watched MA15+ movies. I'd like to hear your thoughts on that.

DISCUSSION POINTS

• How do you deal with movie choices for your kids? Do you abide by the rules of the movie classifications? Or do you use the classification as more of a guide?
 
•  "MA15+" means recommended for 15 and over, and any under 15s must be accompanied in the cinema by a parent or guardian... Have you allowed your under-15s to watch an MA15+ movie, and if so, what kind?

• Do you go to the cinema with them and send them out in inappropriate scenes?

• If its on a DVD do you stick around to watch it with them, and take charge of the skip button? Or do you feel they're mature enough to watch it on their own?

• How do you decide what you'll let them see - do you read reviews, watch clips online or talk to other parents?
 
• If you have teenagers or older kids, is there a certain age that you stopped vetoing movies and started letting your kids make their own decisions about what to watch?
