I refused to let the kids play the more violent games until recently, they are 8 and 10 now. With that said, I still closely monitor what they are into. kids are exposed to so much more death and violence on TV now, even just the national news...blood makes great TV, you know? Death has become so non-chalant and more graphic. There is no question that in the past 20 years children have become far more desensitized to violence.
Thus endeth my rant, but 4 is too young.
