Kitt Kittredge

Although our economy isn't in a depression, we aren't far from it and it was nice to have the girls watch this and see what can happen, etc. At the end of the movie I reminded them how much we should appreciate EVERYTHING we have, because in a quick moment we could lose everything. They often do not appreciate things like I feel they should. It was also a good lesson on everyone being equal, rich or poor, etc. Overall a great learning movie for my girls.

There are more? Where? Where? Hmmm, guess I need to search Netflix. Kitt Kittredge was the best thing I could have my girls watch in the times we are now and at the age they are now so I can explain to them how greatful they should be of the things they have, how to treat others, etc.

boyohboyohboy replied: do you think this is geared just towards girls and to girly for a boy to sit thru?

coasterqueen replied:
Hmmm, no not necessarily. There are many boys in the movie and Kitt's friend is a boy. I really think it's for the entire family, no matter what age or sex. I thought there were a LOT of good lessons in it, especially for Kylie's age, not so much for Megan. I think a lot of it was an eye-opener for her.

O got Samantha for Christmas and we got Felicity last night at the Library. There are several. They released one around Christmas about "mean girls" but for the life of me I can't think of what it's called!

coasterqueen replied: Thanks ladies. I will have to look at those. I like to teach my girls those things in life, but sometimes a movie can also drive the point home.

Oh! Thanks Brenda!!!
