I saw "Bridge to Terabithia" last weekend and would like to warn those
of you who are thinking of seeing it with young children. The death of a
main character is unexpected and tragic. While this could be great for
family discussion, I would not recommend this movie for children under
12 or for any child who has lost a parent/friend recently. While the
movie was excellent, it is incredibly sad and doesn't have a "happily
ever after." As a parent, I was saddened by the loss of the parents;
they lost their only child in a tragic accident. It made me think how
lucky I am to have my daughter, but also made me think terrible thoughts
like-what would I ever do if I lost my child?
