I've had the same experience actually. I worked at a summer camp a few years ago and one kid was crying at a sort of disturbing part of a kids movie, a part of the story that was really unjust and upsetting. It really affected her for awhile that day. And yes it is really horrible to see a kid so upset and you want to comfort them and tell them it's OK.I dunno, maybe its the fact i baby sat and dont like listening to kids crying over something they see on TV I had to listen to a screaming crying kid one time over a cat dying on a tv show. and here I was trying to exsplain that it wasnt real. *sigh* that was not a fun day.
But at the same time, kids need to learn at a young age that there are real things to worry about, and movies shouldn't be one of them. They to learn that they don't have to be so scared of make believe things. I also told her it showed how mature and good hearted and sensitive she was to be so moved by a sad and unjust moment in a movie. That she shouldn't feel embarrassed about getting upset if it meant she had a good heart. She was still upset but I think she understood that.
And no offence but it's not always great to be taking a nap with a kid in the house. Never know what they'll get into! You can't leave them alone for a minute.
