Being a parent myself, I really appreciate the making of good movies that can serve not only to entertain me and my family but also hopefully teach my kids a lesson or two and inspire them along the way. I am quite a movie buff as I slowly begin to realize over the past few years and these are some of the movies I’ve watched with my kids and found them to be quite beneficial for them.
-
1. Wonder – About a boy who is born disfigured and how he finds acceptance and resilience with the support of his family.
2. Dangal – Very inspirational movie about female wrestling in India and the pains a father takes to help his daughters succeed.
3. Pursuit of Happyness – Teaches about determination in the midst of hardships and to keep fighting for what is important.
4. Coach Carter – Teaches about teamwork and supporting one another.
5. Pay it Forward – How small actions can make a world of difference.
6. Patch Adams – Encourages us to think out of the box and to challenge the norms to make a real difference.
7. 3 Idiots – Questions the entire education system and what is really important about learning and success.
8. Soul Surfer – Religious movie that teaches on overcoming the worst setback and making the most of life.
9. Pad Man – How a man overcomes severe rejection by the people closest to him all the while clinging on to the vision he sees in making a difference.
Would love to hear your suggestions if you know of similar movies that you would definitely recommend kids to watch. I will keep updating this list as I go along!
