** Maybe it's more accurate to say that you haven't artificially imposed any
fears on them since I don't think fears are entirely caused by parenting
and
environment. Some of it's genetic.
(Just wanted to reassure anyone who is cosleeping and whose child is still
fearful.)**
I think you're right, Joyce- the thought occurred to me while I was lying in
bed trying to fall asleep last night! I'm sure there are lots of kids who
are attachment-parented and still have some fear issues.
There's just such a contrast between my kids and their lack of fear, and my
childhood full of fears. Especially since Noah (almost 6) is so sensitive in
many other aspects (both physical-loud noises, tags in clothes,
temperature-and emotionally-getting teased etc), it's nice to see that he's
not often afraid of things.

It turns out she has Tourette's Syndrome and has only been recently
diagnosed just days after her 9th birthday. It gets worse after a
strep infection (a condition called PANDAS). I can tell her fear
issue is related to the TS because when things are bad for her she's
even afraid that I've left her if she can't see me.
I am so glad that she has always has access to me and that I tried to
meet her needs even when they seemed unreasonable. Talking to other
TS moms, I can she how much better she is! I'm also glad she never
went to school. It appears it's about the worse thing you can do to
a TS kid. It's pure torture!

**Hi Holly - Rowan, who's six, also has TS. This is just how I feel too.
When we first started reading about TS I was struck by two things: first,
that just about all the info regarding medication said that it was necessary
so that the child would not be made fun of at school, and second, that I was
so glad we had dealt with her difficulties respectfully and gently and
kindly even when we didn't understand what was causing them.
Are you on a TS e-list? I haven't looked into talking to other parents yet,
but I'd like to. ~Rue

Not only does Abba not have to worry about ADHD (which I don't see as

because at home we don't mind but the lack of stress helps keep
symptoms down.
Perhaps it's time to start a TS unschool list. :-)

Rue and Holly,
My 13yo ds has TS and that is why we started homeschooling and eventually
unschooling. We do have to do meds as he has a related seizure disorder and the
seizures have responded beautifully to the meds when we keep it all in
balance. Each growth spurt is a challenge. 3 years ago you could pick my son out of
a group as "the one with the problems", but after three years of care and
nurturing at home he has a wonderful circle of friends from age 8 to 68 and he is
sooo much more comfortable with himself, thus projecting a better image to
the outside world.
Unschooling has been the best thing for all of us.
There is a homeschooling group for kids with special needs it is called
HSplus@yahoogroups. com. I lurk on it but haven't felt that it truly met my needs.
Finding much more support here.
As my son has aged the features of his TS have changed. The very impulsive
ADHD type behaviors have given over into more tics in some ways but fewer
outbursts. We have used a lot of occupational therapy work for kids with sensory
integration to help him learn how to recognize and regulate stresses that may
be building up.
Without the stress of school we have found it to be very livable and we
hardly (except for the seizure meds) think about it anymore.

I'm not sure exactly how scary you want to get, my kids are a little
older, but here are some suggestions (I love scary things too):
The Shining (the old one and the new one)
Halloween (the whole series)
Ghost Ship (pretty new)
The Ring (this one's great! But it's about a dead little girl, so if
you think that would bother him....)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (a little old, but not gorry and
about aliens)
War of the Worlds (an alien classic)
The Relic (this one scared my husband, but my kids loved it)
Mary Reilly (I LOVED this one, but may be too much blood, no
monsters, except the human ones)
Fall of the House of Usher (Vincent Price - one of my favorites)
They (about closet monsters - would that be too much for children,
since they often fear monsters under their beds or in closets? Your
call)
Resident Evil (about zombies)
Well, those are my favorites.

Jaiden has recently found a passion for all things scary, vampires, ghosts, aliens, monsters...
I know that there are a few families on this list who have kids with the same love, and I was wondering if you could give me a few movie and book ideas.
Jaiden is 5 and most of the scary movies that I love tend to be a bit to gory for him, and I'm running into a wall, he doesn't mind a little blood and guts, (the Mummy and Scorpion King movies are among his faves) but he's seen them so many times that they don't scare him.
We have a bunch of the old Godzilla movies and he likes them, and we have thought of trying some of the old horror movies, swampthing, stuff like that, but I never watched them as a kid so I don't know what's out there.
Thanx for the help.

My daughter and I just saw Hannibal last night. It was excellent, a little
gory, but not overly so. Now we're going to watch Silence of the Lambs with
actually came first, but didn't catch my daughter's attention until after
she saw Hannibal.
We also loved the Hellraiser series and the Howling series.
Signs was good and so was The Sixth Sense. (Can you tell we like scary
movies?)

We like old Frankenstein movies, (We also love the spoofs like Mel Brooks'
Young Frankenstein! Moly and Jack will roll around on the ground and ask "Vould
you like a rroooll in ze hay? Its fun!" or they will act out the Abby Normal
scene, among others <g> I don't think they quite understand the double meaning
yet, but that's okay, it is funny to hear a 7 year old say "What Knockers" and
hear a 9 year old say "Oh, Doctor." right in the middle of the grocery
store!) we also like to watch Twilight Zone. (the old ones) Horror flicks from the
70's are great fun to watch as well. Some we like are; Nosferatu the Vampyre,
Halloween, Dracula, Zombie, The Stepford Wives, Grizzly, The Terror of
Frankenstein, Lady Frankstein, The Monster Walks, Monster from a Prehistoric Planet...
Some of those might not be what a 5 year old is looking for though.
We like The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Godzilla movies are good.
Others we like are Hitchcock movies like The Man Who Knew too Much with Peter
Lorre. Boris Karloff's movies; Frankenstein, Mummy, The Tower of London, and
Frankenstein from 1970 are all good. The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Abominable
Dr. Phibes, The Return of Dr. X, all good.
Others include; The Blob (both versions, one with Steve McQueen and the 1988
version with Kevin Dillon) Bug (1975), Jaws, It (not the Steven King book
turned movie, the movie staring Roddy McDowell from 1967) The Adventures of
Buckaroo Banzi Across the Eighth Dimension (Peter Weller, Jeff Goldboom, Jon
Lithgow, Christopher Lloyd, 1984?), Braindead, The Dark Crystal, Bats, don't forget
The Birds (another Hitchcock movie), King Kong (1933), Journey to the Center of
the Earth, An American Werewolf in London (1981), Creepshow, The Howling,
Dune, Jason and the Argonauts, Planet of the Apes movies, The Thing from Another
World, Them!, War of the Worlds, Village of the Damned (1960 version),
Gremlins, Willow, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, any or all three Quatermass movies,
Screamers, Dr. Who and the Daleks, and the sequel, Invasion Earth 2150 AD,
Starship Troopers, Journey to the Center of the Earth.
I could go on and on! <g> You might wonder why I list some of these, but all
have an element of Monster, Alien, Mutant Bug... I think most are worth a
look, even though some, like Willow aren't really part of the "Horror" genre.
Happy Viewing!

Dangest thing is that they never thought that Jaws was scary ... and they
saw that when they were much younger. I saw it at 14 and we really were
afraid to go back in the water! Heck we had trouble sleeping in our own beds
that night after watching it twice in a row. Now we actually did swim in the
ocean and did occassionally find sharks washed up on the beach, but it never
scared us before.
We have considered renting They a couple of times, so thanks for the heads
up cuz I don't think my youngest should watch.

Newbie jumping in, here. Hi!
We watched "The Omen" and it's sequels together. They were always my favourites. The kids (my two older boys Jeremy and Justin, both 12) were, shall we say, less than thrilled. It DID serve to open up a discussion about good vs. evil, God vs. Satan, etc., as well as a short discussion about the Catholic faith and it's shortcomings (we are non-practising Catholics). They certainly weren't scared, though. Too much "Scream" and "Jeepers Creepers"-type desensitization, I think. They expect gore and graphic violence. They didn't 'get' the original "Psycho" until I explained that it was made in such a way that the viewer's mind did the scaring, rather than the action on the screen. "Dracula", "Frankenstein" and any of the other original horror flicks did nothing close to scaring them.
They were marginally impressed with "The Ring" and "Jeepers Creepers", although I wasn't. LOL.

They certainly weren't scared, though. Too much "Scream" and "Jeepers Creepers"-type desensitization, I think. They expect gore and graphic violence. They didn't 'get' the original "Psycho" until I explained that it was made in such a way that the viewer's mind did the scaring, rather than the action on the screen. "Dracula", "Frankenstein" and any of the other original horror flicks did nothing close to scaring them.
They were marginally impressed with "The Ring" and "Jeepers Creepers", although I wasn't. LOL.

"The sheeplike tendency of human society soon makes inroads on a child's unsophistications, and then popular education completes the dastardly work with its systematic formulas, and away goes the individual, hurtling through space into that hateful oblivion of mediocrity. We are pruned into stumps, one resembling another, without character or grace." --- NC Wyeth, father of Andrew Wyeth, Artist/Painter, who was home educated.

This is the kind that I like the best. I hate the ones that someone runs around killing teenagers for no apparent reason. I don't like all the blood and gore, and I would rather be scared in my mind than by what I see on screen.

dreamcatchers so I think they helped!!! LOL But last week we saw Freddy vs. Jason and
boy was it sorry. Don't waste your time or money on that one! The Texas Chainsaw
Masacres are all pretty scary and a new version is in the works. A couple
weeks ago we watched Rob Zombie's House of a Thousand Corpses, very Texas
Chainsaw like. Another more recent rental is Darkness Falls, about the evil
toothfairy, it was decent, my neighbor just said she's dreading her kids loosing their
teeth since she watched that!!! She asked if I could do a spell of sorts to
ward off the bad fairy. I laughed, but later her hubby told me she was serious.
I told him I had already smudged their house, he had no clue as to what that
meant, but was thrilled that I love them enough to be proactive! One of my favs
is not really bloody scary, but rather the religious type scary is the
Seventh Sign with Demi Moore. Another good one is Steven King's Pet Cemetary.
Rhonda - not a fan of scary flicks, but a lover of Halloween!!!

Some of these may have been on the list Joyce sent. These have been
favorites of ours.
Old movies are great for little kids who might be sensitive to gore,
because they're mostly bloodless. Just a lot of over acting, drama,
spooky music and stomping monsters.
These have monsters, some are really good Ray Harryhausen monsters, some
are cheesy rubber suits.<g>
Gorgo- 1961
Reptillicus-1961
Twenty Million Miles to Earth-1957
The Beast From Twenty Thousand Fathoms-1953
Reptilian (newer) 2000? I think this was first called Yonggary
Creature from the Black Lagoon-1954
It Came From Beneath the Sea-1955
Monster From the Ocean Floor- 1954
Attack of the Crab Monsters-1957
The Blob-1958
The Green Slime-1968
World Without End-1956
These have either a glimpse of a monster, UFO's, or other cool science
fiction or thriller bits.
This Island Earth-1955
The Fly -1958
The Day the Earth Stood Still-1951
Invasion of the Body Snatchers-1956
If he likes the Japanese monster movies like Godzilla he might like War
of the Gargantuas and Rodan.

One of my all time favorite scary movies which is actually pretty new, is
"The Others" with Nicole Kidman. The movie is AWESOME......not a bid of blood
and guts, just unseen ghosts and lots of fog and darkness. If any of you
haven't seen it yet, grab some popcorn and a bunch of munchies, turn out all the
lights, crank up the volume and sit really close and cuddly!!

I forgot about the Seventh Sign. I like the scary movies that are religious because you always wonder if it could possibly be true. I also liked Children of the Corn. But--I couldn't watch the end of Pet Semetary 1. I knew they had to kill the baby and I just couldn't watch it. To this day I've never seen the ending.
If you love Halloween, then you've got to visit Salem when you come to next year's conference. I'm going Oct 18 this year. I go every year.

Oooooh, I thought of another one. It isn't bloody at all, but always gave me
the creeps, especially if people mistook my name for Rhoda!!! The Bad Seed.
Eeeeewww.

My all time favorite scary movie is the original "The Other". I have tried unsuccessfully to get it at NetFlix and at our blockbusters. Anyone ever seen it? Sooooo psychologically creepy. 'Course, it's been a while since I've seen it. I believe it is very different from what I've heard about the new one. But I will rent that.

Saw that one at a drive-in in the mid-70's ... spooky and I liked it. It is
not the same as the Kidman movie "the Others." It involves two twin boys
living with an extended family. It was actually on the tv a few weeks ago
and I was able to see it again. We liked Kidman's "The Others" so much we
saw it in the theater and rented the dvd.
