Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I am wondering if any parents have noticed certain movies the children seem to relate to better than others? It may help to know of movies that have a positive response in our precious children. I have noticed that my grand daughter adores Alice in Wonderland and relates well to the characters and the good and bad theme to it.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 There is a cartoon I would highly warn families not to let your child watch. It is the Nick jr cartoon Kia Lan. It has had such a negative effect on Ellie. She is drawn to the mad characters and will re enact their behavior.She never acted out that badly till she started watching it and now will walk around saying "I'm Mad" and acting up.That is the only cartoon she re acts badly too so far.From: R.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Why not just give her a safe place to do it? If she’s anything like me she’s expressing how intensely she likes it, and we need to do that sometimes.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Isaac is 10.5 and relates to almost anything animal related. Right now his favorites are How To Train Your Dragon and Legend of the Guardians. Both have a fairly good message.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I take comfort in knowing there are others out there. I don't know if anyone has ever done this or not but has anyone ever related to a movie and turned around and decorated a room in that style? I do that and also make dolls that look like the characters I relate too. I made my grand daughter a Mad Hatter and Alice doll and I have made an Scissorhands doll in the past.

Believe it or not he had some bad behavior from Charlie and Lola, I thought this was such a sweet show until he started acting like Lola, i will never not ever... Phineas and Ferb was GREAT!! He liked it I liked it! Lot's of cool adventures and songs.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 BTW I also wanted to say that I think there are some great messages in Doc’s character in Back to the Future about accepting individuality, even though the writers didn’t necessarily intend it.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 My son has always had a very difficult time with movies. He usually runs out of the room the instant it seems like something bad or scary is about to happen. For years I wondered if it was the music changing to a more dramatic sound or if it was the visual images on the screen but come on, I'm talking about even Curious or Frosty the snowman. The ONLY disney movie he was able to watch all the way through was Cars but even that he was tense about. He can tolerate some cartoons like Phineous and Ferb but because they invent cool things otherwise we stick to Bill Nye the scinece guy, Steve Irwin video's about reptiles, Planet Earth show and the like.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I am glad you mentioned that about parts of movies scaring him. My granddaughter loves movies about the Bible and Jesus but if there is a part with the crucifixion in it, she will have an emotional breakdown. Even cartoons. If it is a kid friendly movie with the crucifixion tamed down, she has a breakdown. She can't handle any kind of violent ( yelling or loud) movies. She is almost like a fragile n doll. Very gentle and polite.From: SoCalVal <socalval@...>Autism and Aspergers Treatment Sent: Fri, January 21, 2011 12:30:44 PMSubject: Re: Movies My son has always had a very difficult time with movies.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 My son loves Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland, two movies with characters who must make sense of the strange world they're in. This year as a 12-year-old he's become interested in disaster movies. These all follow the same theme of a person who is the voice of reason who tries to warn people of the upcoming disaster. Of course, no one listens and then he must save the day. Come to think of it, no wonder he like those ( " Look what happens when you don't follow the rules. " ). Daylight, Dante's Inferno and the original Poseidon Adventure are some favorites. He doesn't like movies where bad things happen to the child or adult character. Astroboy was a terrible movie where the scientist father creates a robot boy to replace his son who dies. But then the father just kicks Astroboy out and tells him he doesn't want him. Astroboy loves his dad so he's sad and hurt. We couldn't finish that movie. When our son watches movies, he acutely feels the emotions the characters go through. > > I am wondering if any parents have noticed certain movies the children seem to relate to better than others?
