In just two weeks, we will be saying goodbye to summer. An end to laid-back, relaxed days, and a return to routines and schedules. It can be a little nerve-wracking for everyone involved. Our 5-year old is now in Senior Kindergarten without his big brother in class with him – big changes. The 6-year old is in Grade 1 – moving from 3 days a week to 5. The older two have new teachers, new hallways, and new classmates. Understandably, the boys are a little hesitant. Really, though, who among us isn’t hesitant about trying something new? (Even I, as a teacher, am nervous about going back!)
And that’s why we’re loving Netflix‘s new series, Dinotrux. It’s a show about a wacky group of dinosaurs/trucks, who learn about being friends. Friendship involves cooperation and and trying new things. They gain confidence as they go through various adventures together. These life lessons can apply to any of us in new situations, and can help us gain confidence too!
Netflix has a lot of “Life Lesson” shows available to help beat those back to school jitters. Check out some of these!

DinoTrux
DinoTrux has more than meets the tire, er, eye – these prehistoric hybrid dinosaur-construction vehicles team-up to work together using their different skills to solve problems. Even the most uncommon of pairs, like Ty-Rux and Revvit, form friendships of a lifetime. The show premiered Aug. 14, only on Netflix. |

What have you been enjoying on Netflix lately?
The following two tabs change content below.
I live in Bowmanville, and am a mom to four young boys - it can get a little loud in my house. I am a Christian, a part-time French teacher, a piano teacher and former homeschooler. I love finding the best deals, which will come in handy when our boys become hungry teenagers! We just moved to a house with more outdoor space, and I'm still getting used to life in the country (a walk around the block is a lot longer here!).
You Pinspire Me
I hadn’t heard about this one yet, but based on what you’ve said here, it looks like a total winner.
Our little blueeyedbabyboy is going to school this year for the first time and we also love Dinotrux!! Such a great show about working together.
I love the new shows that Netflix is broadcasting. It motivates the kids.
This is the first time I heard about Dinotrux. We hope to catch these shows this weekend.
I’ve never heard of this series before and we even have Netflix lol. I will let my kids check it out for sure! Thanks for sharing and those goodies look awesome!
