If you are a regular reader of the blog you will know that I recently wrote about the life lessons we as parents can learn from our children.

This included things like: every day is a fresh start; to be happy; to love unconditionally and so on. All important things that we can forget as our busy lives take over. Sometimes as “grown ups” we can feel as if we are responsible for teaching our children everything, when in reality our children can teach us so much.

Other than parents, where do children learn their life lessons from? With regards to television, we are often lead to believe that television is a bad influence on our children, that we should switch off the TV and they should be outside all the time.

Of course children should have time to run and jump and skip and swim and also just sometimes be a little bored, in order to set their imaginations on fire BUT – you can’t deny that a good movie is also lots of fun.

Aside from the enjoyment there are good, positive messages in many movies aimed at children. Here are just a few!
