Movie Talks

Using Media to Have Important Conversations With Your Kids

You and your children have busy lives, and it can be difficult to find time to have a good conversation with them…talking with them and listening to what they have to say, rather than talking “at” them. Watching a movie or series together and then talking about it can be a great way to create a space for these important conversations. It’s also a great way to share your values. The guides below suggest ways to use movies and series as an opening to talk about important concerns, as well as sharing an enjoyable experience! Each guide describes the themes of the program, includes maturity ratings, and gives ideas about conversation starters.
