OREANDA-NEWS. In the «Squid Game» there are many scenes of violence and cruelty. This can cause sleep disorders and nightmares, as well as increased excitability of the nervous system and anxiety in children. This was told by child and family psychologist Anna Bykova in a conversation with Russian media Sobesednik.ru.

«This series has an age marker of 18+, there are many scenes of violence, corpses, and the dismemberment of people is naturalistically shown. Definitely do not watch it for young children and especially impressionable adults. For them, this is fraught with sleep disorders and nightmares, increased excitability of the nervous system and anxiety», Bykova explained.

She noted that if a child is over 13 years old, then most likely he will watch the «Squid Game» anyway, despite the prohibitions of parents. In this case, the psychologist advised not to restrict the teenager's access to the series, but to watch it with him in order to monitor his attitude to what is happening on the screen, as well as to give his comments about certain actions of the heroes of the series.

Bykova stressed that if a teenager was already familiar with the «Hunger Games», horror films or the GTA V game, then he will not see anything fundamentally new in the «Squid Game».
