I'm not planning on having children or getting married once I graduate from high-school, but I can offer a perspective on the effects of showing the prequels to child living in this decade.  It really doesn't matter if your child watches the prequels; movies are meant more for entertainment purposes and not critical thought at that age.  

Of course, I also think the Original Trilogy trumps the prequels by far, but that doesn't mean that the prequels cannot provide more depth to the series.  The prequels showed Anakin struggling to maintain his idealistic nature in the face of power and temptation, which is something that each of us can relate to on some level at a point in our lives.  We've all been happily naive until reality decides sucker-punch us straight in the balls.  

Children like movies that have explosions, adventure and comedy.  Wouldn't you rather have them watch something like the Phantom Menace instead of a cheap Disney movie?
