That his parents/guardians are keeping him from watching the destructive garbage that most children are watching? It's like for Christ's sake! I would be more worried if my child DIDN'T have that reaction.
At 11 you should start exposing your kid to the real world. He isn't 4 anymore.
"Exposing the real world" to 11 year old kids is why childhood anxiety and depression rates have sky rocketed. You have no idea what you are talking about.
I'd like to see the data or at least the argument to support this hypothesis.
Lifetime prevalence of anxiety: twenty-five percent of 13 to 18 year olds have mild to moderate anxiety. Lifetime prevalence of severe anxiety disorder is 5.9 percent. Girls are more likely than boys to be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Median age of onset is 11 years old. Anxiety is among the earliest of developing pathologies. Anxiety in children and teens often overlaps with depression.
Reasons for increased anxiety: Post 911, parental pressures, terrorism, media fears, social media pressures (e.g., kids viewing pictures of being left out of parties), and perceived threats.
Some of the increase in depression in Los Angeles schools may be due to more awareness and improved data collection, but with more than 30 percent of high school students there reporting prolonged feelings of hopelessness and sadness lasting more than two weeks, and 9.1% of middle schoolers and 8.4% of high schoolers in the district actually attempting suicide, the data highlights the need for more mental health resources for young people.
Still, the number of distressed young people is on the rise, experts say, and they are trying to figure out how best to help. Teen minds have always craved stimulation, and their emotional reactions are by nature urgent and sometimes debilitating. The biggest variable, then, is the climate in which teens navigate this stage of development.
They are the post-9/11 generation, raised in an era of economic and national insecurity. They’ve never known a time when terrorism and school shootings weren’t the norm. They grew up watching their parents weather a severe recession, and, perhaps most important, they hit puberty at a time when technology and social media were transforming society.
