Daddy Day Care

After watching a movie with your children or students, we encourage parents and teachers to look for education opportunities to teach with movies. Here are a few discussion topics that can help with lesson plans or teaching in the home.

If ages 2 0x2013 6 are key branding years for advertisers, what aggressive marketing promos are your children exposed to? Do ads influence the kind of products your children want or that you buy for them?

A scene depicts a child drinking soap solution and then blowing bubbles from his mouth. Parents may want to discuss with their children the potential dangers of mimicking this behavior, and point out the use of computer generated special effects that were used to create this illusion.
