Movie Rating Scale

Our criteria for reviewing movies and videos:

Remember: Discuss the movie with them afterward! It is important to watch the show with them, at least the first time. This should not be considered a luxury option unless you are absolutely positive that you completely and wholeheartedly approve of all of the content contained in the viewing experience! Regardless, it is crucial that you at least talk with them about what they thought about what they just saw. What did they like the most? What about that did they enjoy? Was there anything they didn't like? What was it about that part that had them feel that way? The discussion can be as important or often more valuable experience than the movie itself! Do not loose the opportunity to teach your values, clarify their uncertainties or explain what they saw. This helps them develop their own reasoning skills. This returns control to your own household, teaches what your family values and reduces the power that media has to influence your children. And after all, isn't this what we want for our children?
