Hey folks, I’m worried that horror games may be too disturbing for kids. Have you noticed nightmares or anxiety from playing these games? Any advice appreciated.
I think it’s smart to be cautious with horror games and kids. Some can handle them fine, but others might get nightmares. Maybe try watching let’s plays together first to gauge their reaction before letting them play.
Agreed. Scary games can be intense. Maybe try family-friendly spooky games first. Ease into it and see how they cope. Good bonding time too.
Honestly, I don’t think there’s a one-size-fits-all answer here. Some kids are totally fine with scary games, while others get freaked out by the tamest stuff. When I was young, I loved spooky games, but my little brother couldn’t handle them at all.
If you’re worried, maybe start with something mild and work your way up. Or play together so you can see how they react. Just keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or sleep issues.
Kids’ brains are still developing. Scary games could mess with their sleep or make them jumpy. But each kid’s different. Parents know best what their kids can handle.
It really depends on the kid. Some can handle spooky stuff fine, others get freaked out easily. I’d say start with milder games and see how they react. No need to jump straight into the super intense horror stuff.
