One of the most important tools we can have with our children is communication. We listen to them, and then (we hope) they listen to us. As little babies, this communication was difficult in certain ways, while we tried to interpret their cries. As they got older, I thought it might get a little easier to communicate, but all of a sudden we have “attitude,” talking back, and other joys of pre-teen kids. A key to good communication, though, is having a good starting point: a common experience or situation to start from. Enter Netflix – there’s an Ep for that!
From body image to peer pressure, to sibling rivalry, Netflix has some great shows that provide good starting points for tough conversations with kids of all ages!
For the little kids:
The Hive ( Watch Ep. S1E1: Babee’s Room)
Buzzabee and Rubee compete over who Babee (their new sibling) gets to room with. Mom and dad must explain to Buzzabee and Rubee that Babee needs to grow up before she can share a room.
For the big kids:
Fuller House (Watch Ep. S1E6: The Legend of El Explosivo)
After getting grounded for sneaking off to Bobby Popko’s house, Jackson realizes he needs to stand up for what he knows is right and not give in to please his friend.
For the teens:
Glee (Watch Ep. S1E16: Home)
After Sue demands that Mercedes lose weight, Quinn steps in to change her mindset and together they set the stage for beauty at William McKinley High, teaching the importance of empowerment and inclusion.
