In the Media: Squid Game

A recent Netflix show, “Squid Game,” has received a lot of attention around the world. The Korean series has been one of the most popular programs globally on Netflix. You may have heard your child(ren) talking about it.

At times parents may not know much about what their children are watching, so we wanted to share with you that we do not recommend that elementary nor middle school aged students watch this program. The show is quite violent and presents dangerous games that have the potential to “catch on” with adolescents who look to engage in risky behavior. Squid Game is rated 18+ on Netflix.

For practical parental information regarding this show, we direct you to Common Sense Media, a US-based media watchdog that provides feedback on the appropriateness of media.
