I'm just 24 and nowhere close to being a parent. However, I too read adult books as a kid (the Godfather at 12 or 13 maybe for e.g.). Nowadays the kind of information available is immense and sheltering kids somehow seems to be redundant. I've never had any issues because of my reading. Frankly, I think reading actually allowed me to reflect on some things and be better prepared for the outside world in general. Your daughter sounds like an intelligent young girl (reading stephanie meyer doesn't disqualify her at that age
) so I wouldn't worry too much, unless its something which is really over the top (A clockwork orange, trainspotting maybe
). What's great is that you have a comfortable relationship with her, so could probably ask her how she liked a particular book to gauge its impact.
