I'm not convinced that a 5 year old can't grasp the concept of virtuality. Minecraft on peaceful mode is just giant blocks being picked up and placed. Even if it were true they don't get that it's virtual (that I don't really understand how that could be true), I can't imagine what long term damage could possibly be done by believing the blocks are real.
