+ Conversation Starters for Each of Them

We like to make the best of our time, and movie nights can be a great way to achieve this. Watching a movie with a strong educational message is a wonderful opportunity for family conversations days and even weeks after the event, opening kids up to discuss ideas and understand concepts that otherwise are much more difficult to grasp.

As a parent I often look for new ways on how to teach kindness to my children, how to show them that they can bounce back no matter how hard the fall – and in fact the bigger the fall is, the stronger the bounce will be. Working with children, I found it that too many kids feel insecure about their potential, and the funny thing is that the brighter and better behaved the child is, the more likely for her to throw in the towel when exposed to a particularly foreign/ complex situation.

But movies make this conversations a little bit easier. Kids are usually open to talk about the struggles, the attitudes, the mindsets of the characters on the screen, they do not feel threatened. It’s not about them, it is about the character. This is why I put together a list of conversation starters to get the ball rolling and make the most of these movies: questions to ask, observations to make, ideas to discuss – they areall nicely organised in a printable format for you to have handy.
