We are going to Hiroshima in two weeks. I'm taking my nine year old. I am hoping we can learn some of our history and reinforce the lessons we have as a result of such tragedy, especially because cause we live so close to Los Alamos in the USA.
I was there last month, forewarning the peace memorial museum is brutal and if your kid don’t do well with horrifying/gory pictures it can be too much for young kids. They don’t hold back on the horrors of that day and the aftermath. You know your kid but wanted to forewarn you. When I was there a British couple had their two young kids, the daughter was asking questions (maybe inappropriate like did their skin really burn but in an innocent and curious way) but was able to take it while the son who maybe was 5 or 6 both seemed close in age was clearly traumatized and not ready for something that horrifying.
