So I don’t want her to accidentally stumble onto something that will be way too much for her.
Totally get that. Honestly, I'm sort of back there for myself now. There's some content I just avoid because it's become too much anymore. Like, I get why it's there, but... nope. Totally different vibe than why you watch out on a kid's behalf, of course, but often the same end restult!

My list of topics to avoid keeps getting longer! There is enough awful in the world that I would prefer to not have it in my literature. For example, sick violence doesn't seem to bother me in Science Fiction, but in "real" world settings it is more difficult. It's a random line in my brain, but so much to read and so little time, so I try and stick with reading that brings joy, distraction, and even wonder from time to time.
