What are your thoughts on allowing a prepubescent child to watch the Netflix show “Big Mouth”. It almost makes me consider allowing my daughter’s to watch it since to me it explains puberty better than any school class or myself. It’s hard to talk about these things. Please if you haven’t seen the show then watch it before commenting so your can have a true understanding of what I’m asking.

In my own opinion, no. I love the show it’s absolutely hilarious, but wildly inappropriate. Yes, it talks about puberty, but it also talks a whole lot about sex and different sex. Not very educational. Get her some books and yes it’s a hard, uncomfortable talk, but you need to do it.

Absolutely not!!! Get some books off of Amazon that are age appropriate!

Definitely not appropriate - there are MUCH better ways to educate your daughters

I say no as well. It’s not appropriate for kids. It’s a cartoon for grown ups. Look for a proper educational video or get some books. Talk to her since YOU have gone through it yourself. It’s not hard to do.
That show is in no way educational lol
It’s funny, but I feel it’s for grown ups.

I’ve never watched it, nor heard of it. But I educated my 16 year old daughter and now starting to educate my 12 year old son myself.
Yeah… I’m going to pass on that one, I vote no but I see why and you would want to.

Hard no, for me it helped (you know, as much as a TV show can) as someone who was mad sheltered but definitely not for a young kid, there are educational books that are probably a lot more helpful
No, not appropriate. It was hard starting that conversation with my girls but I sat them together and had them come up with questions for me. We call them “classes”. And we went on from there. It’s not a weird topic anymore. Good luck! Its hard starting it!

For me I’d sit with my child and watch it so if they have questions they can ask. I’d rather then ask me than go and ask a kid or learn out of a text book. Then again that’s me. Also depends on the child’s age to

Let them watch it, no. Take inspiration from it and how discuss things instead. They need to communicate with YOU mama, not watch a show. Find a way to transfer their lessons into your conversation if you think it explains it so well. (I love that show btw, I’ve considered this myself but my kids are still little and the advice I just gave is the conclusion I came to.)

It’s really not hard to talk about these things. Idk why people act like this stuff doesnt happen to all of us. Like it’s something taboo when it’s not. Find resources online. There are books you can get to give them if youre that uncomfortable with the discussion.

Yeah no. Definitely not appropriate for kids. Just bite the bullet and do it yourself.

I’d say heck no. Although yes it’s a cartoon and it does talk about puberty and sex, it’s more crude and adult then I’d personally like my child to learn those things. I’ve watched the show and find it funny but I wouldn’t want my child watching it.

If you have to ask people if a cartoon is appropriate, then I think you’ve already answered your question.

That’s how you want your child to learn about puberty?! That show is meant for adults as humor. Zero educational value.

Depends on the kind of parent you are. My mom is laid back she’s gonna learn about it anyway with the internet type of parent so she lets my 13 year old sister watch whatever she wants. I also know moms that monitor every little thing their child does and that’s fine too. Now I wouldn’t let my toddler or a little kid watch it but an almost teenager yea with the internet and friends she’s going to learn about it one way or another.

it’s cringeworthy to my adult self, it took me a few tries to get through the first couple episodes. maybe… try youtube videos appropriate for whatever age to explain puberty or watch them yourself and repeat what they say to your child.

I think it depends. What kind of content has your child seen before? Are you going to watch it with them? And talk about it? And then reassure them it’s not ALL that bad Depends how old/mature your kid is, too and what your parenting style is. I remember when I first watched big mouth I was like !! I wish this was around when I was a teenager. If nothing else, it’s just plain relatable.

I personally wouldn’t want my kid learning about that stuff from a show. I’m not sure how schools are now but I remember in 5th grade someone talking to girls and then someone talking to boys about puberty and body changes, idk
Have you watched it?!?
That show is not for kids.
I mean the boy is fuckin his pillow.
Is this an actual real question? Hell no
You’re out of your mind it talks about waaaay much more then puberty that is a straight adult show unless u want your kid to hear from cartoons kids her age that suckin D to be cool is cool

I wouldn’t recommend it. It is horrible for children. I watch it but is supposed to be an adult comedy.

I have used some of these shows as a start of communicating with your child about things that really make it uncomfortable for us to just bring up.
Currently on the 3rd season. Definitely not appropriate. Did you even watch it? Lol

I wouldn’t, I think it’s the wrong way to teach a child, but that’s my opinion. My mom was very open and honest about everything as I grew up. So i would rather be that way, and explain puberty myself.

I wouldn’t let kids younger than high school age watch that show. Nothing educational about it…it makes everything vulgar and inappropriate in my opinion.

I have a son that is going thru changes n I would not let him watch the show it gives kids the wrong idea on what is okay me as a adult I love the show but kids watching it should be a no unless you want them jacking it anywhere or anytime
I’ve watched it with my 12 and 13 year old boys. Yes some of it is highly inappropriate, but I’ve used that as a teaching point. I think it’s ok as long as you’re quick to point out where the characters are acting badly.

The show is hilarious, but it’s not appropriate for kids. You’re a parent, you NEED to talk about these things. Not let a cartoon do it.
It’s not a kids show so I would say no.
Libraries have books too to help. Don’t let any child watch that show. Goodness sakes.
I barely got into season 3 before shutting it off because it got so bad and sexual
If they’re older than 13, totally. It honestly does explain puberty better than I ever could.
You’ve got to be joking? you fail so hard with this. If anything watch the show yourself and explain. That show is NOT for kids.
How can you not explain puberty to your daughter yourself, assuming your a woman you literally went through what she will be going through. I’m sorry the show is great but this is like letting your kid watch porn because you are too uncomfortable to have a sex talk with them. Between the school “hygiene” classes they do for girls and you she should be ok puberty isn’t that difficult to explain.
Huh ?so because it’s hard to explain puberty you would rather her be misinformed about her body ,sex,STDs ,abuse, hygiene…wtf honestly what’s so damn hard to have an honest open conversation? The only person who makes it hard or weird is you. I want my children be informed on their health etc…
I’m super open minded and I’m not sure there’s anything I find offensive. Although this show does not offend me, I think it’s gross. I love stupid comedies - F is for Family, Trailer Park Boys, East Bound and Down… comedians like Bill Burr, Dave Chapelle, Kathy Griffin, Joe Rogan, etc… and still think this is gross. My husband also thinks it’s gross. My 16 year old son started one episode and thought the same. Totally inappropriate for an adolescent. I can imagine this might appeal to some immature people between 17/18 through late 20’s? If you’re uncomfortable with talking about puberty, get a book. There are several on Amazon or in a book store that are age appropriate. I purchased one for my son because his father isn’t around and I knew there would be some things he’d be embarrassed to say or ask me.
Some of it’s really inappropriate definitely but it does explain puberty in a funny way lol so maybe when they’re old enough show them a few clips and then discuss yourself also
My 13 yr old watches it… it opened the door for lots of questions she had and conversation between us
I’m pretty sure its adult swim
Why not like I dunno parent your own child instead of relying on a show to educate them? Wild thought.
Hell no. Letting a kid watch a show were the kid is always horny, gets addicted to porn , another child screwing his pillow among how many other things. It would be easier to just explain it to your child than have them think sleep overs they should watch porn with their friends jerking off on crackers and the last one to get off has to eat it… Really misses the point of what you are trying to really teach them.
