Digital Childhood Script Series

“Everyone has already watched it. It's not even that bad.”

What to say

Start here

"Maybe it isn't. Let's look up together what's actually in it, and if it turns out to be fine then I'll say so."

The rest of the script

There's more to this one.

The other 3 steps are in the app, word for word, including what to say when they push back. Eight of the scripts are free in full, and all 35 are $19 once, no subscription. Nothing to download.

Why this matters

Kids usually argue about the rating, when what matters is what's actually in the show. So I'd look it up together, and then you're both talking about the same thing. If it's a no, you can tell them exactly which scene, and that's a lot easier for a kid to accept than a rating on the streaming app.
