The idea of media literacy may not seem to mix with the fun of TV and movies. But when kids relate to the content, they’re more engaged, and they can learn critical-thinking skills from discussing it. All you want to do is get your kids to think more deeply about what they’re watching. You may want to reinforce the positive ideas on the shows, or you might want to offer a different perspective. Teaching kids to pause and think — and not just accept things at face value — is teaching them a valuable skill.
