\n\nI'd like to expand Anthony's exposure to English, and one way to do that is\nwith a broader<\/span> range of videos or movies. We've been pretty restrictive\nabout watching anything on TV\/video, and until now he's been limited to the\noccasional Dora the\nExplorer<\/a>, Bob the\nBuilder<\/a>, Clifford the Big\nRed Dog<\/a>, and the Disney movies Dinosaur<\/a> and Finding Nemo<\/a>. By far, Dora is\nhis favorite.\n\n<\/p>

\n\nLooking for different types of videos, I went to<\/span> my old DVD collection and\nfound a few<\/span> to try: 101\nDalmatians<\/a>, Ice Age<\/a>, and\nSpace Jam<\/a>.\n\n<\/p>\n\n

\n\nWe started out with Ice Age, and wow, what a mistake<\/span> that was. Within five\nminutes he was extremely scared (and shaking!) because of a scary<\/span> scene. We bailed<\/span> on that movie, but the damage was done -- he had to sleep with\nthe door open, and woke up scared at 5am (I then<\/span> slept with him for a\nwhile<\/span>).\n\n<\/p>

\n\nWe tried Space Jam a bit, but it's way beyond his age, and just full of\nsenseless violence (a la<\/span> Bugs Bunny). He wasn't interested in it and I\ndidn't<\/span> want him to be, so we bailed on that fairly quickly.\n\n<\/p>

\n\nWe had better luck with 101 Dalmatians. There were some sad\/scary parts,\nbut they were beyond him and he didn't understand, so wasn't scared. There\nwere a lot<\/span> of puppies, and that was enough. He didn't really understand the\nstory (and certainly not the premise of the mean lady wanting to kill the\npuppies to make a coat<\/span>), so it was fine for a 3.5-year old, but probably\nwon't be good for a 5 year old.\n\n<\/p>

\n\nWe'll be in The States for much of the summer, and so will have a chance<\/span> to\npick up more videos. Any suggestions<\/span> on wholesome, non-violent videos for a\n3- or 4-year old?\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
