Summer is a good time to relax and unwind.

I selected a few movies that were classic which I ,myself enjoyed as a child.We enjoy watching these as a family

Tip :how to engage a young child in the classics – we watch only the songs first ,then the following week we watch the movie while we talk and discuss the movie.

The most important tip :Be enthusiastic its infectious.When we enjoy things our children enjoy them as well.
