MOVIES
  
Movies are an escape!
Watching movies can be a fun activity where children and
adolescents use their imagination. It is a pastime that
children love, so movie watching is a great way to spend quality time as a family.
What is a
movie night?
Movie
nights are a fun and inexpensive way of sharing time with
your children. They are a bit more structured than
simply renting a movie and letting the kids watch it.
-
First,
you should select a movie that all will enjoy. As a
parent, you must consider the content of the movie and
determine if it is appropriate for your child's age. If you
are unsure whether a movie is appropriate, you should view
the movie in private before watching it as a family.
If you
follow these simple rules you should have the
ingredients for an outstanding movie night. However,
if this does not work you can always of course orchestrate
an outing to a movie theater.
Movie Tips for Parents:
-
Time
spent watching television, whether it is movies or prime
time, takes away from important activities such as
reading, school work, playing, and exercise. So be sure
to monitor the time that your children spend in front of
the TV and place limits on the amount of television
viewing per day and/or per week.
