In GuiaInfantil we know, like you, that many times it is not easy to find the right family films to show our children values, that is why we have created a compilation with themthe best movies for children with which we can reflect in addition to growing as people.
We cannot forget that children's movies are an ideal way to spend an entertaining time next to ours, but they are also a most useful tool to teach children to reflect on such important aspects of life as solidarity, equality, the need to fight for our dreams or face difficulties.
Choose the movie you like the most, tell your children what it is about and get comfortable on the sofa to spend some time as a family watching the film together. Once it is finished, we suggest that you do a little debate at home about what you have learned. In this way, you can reflect as a family on what you have seen.
Depending on how old the children are, you can ask them simple questions like these:
- Did you like the movie?
- What is it that you have understood?
- What did you like the most? And the least?
- What values have we learned?
- What do you think we should reflect on?
- Has it helped you to see things differently?
By the way, we remind you that most of these films can be seen on video platforms such as Netflix, HBO or Amazon Prime Video. Which one do you use most often?
