What to watch with teenager

Teenage is a troublesome age, these kids do not count as children nor are they allowed to sit with adults. This is the time when they form their own perspective of life, their personalities, and their point of view on all matters surrounding them.

We as parents try to do as much as possible for them but most of the time get caught up with work and are not able to spend a lot of time with them. Though there are many things a parent can do with a teenager since teenagers spend a lot of time watching their phones, iPads, computers, and TV we need to try and fit in with them.

As a parent, it is our responsibility to see what they watch is as they can be easily influenced. Teenagers like to rely on their peers rather than on their parents so the best way to do this is to stop parenting them at all times and be their friends. Make a habit to sit and watch TV with them; this will help you understand what’s going on in their curious and energetic minds.

Good movies and shows can help them deal with issues like sex, drugs, and race. It will help you start a meaningful conversation with them but remember you are a friend to them, not a parent so avoid judging them and enjoy with them. Here are a few good movies you can suggest to watch with our teens and help them learn some values.

Sandra Bullock (Leigh Ann) and Tim McGraw (Sean Tuohy) play the role of adopted parents to Michael. The movie will show the value of love and the relationship between a teen and his parents.
