Movie Night With Your Teens
Movie Night Preparation
Preview a film before using it for a movie night. It will help you
gauge the age-appropriateness of the content, forewarn you of any questionable
scenes and give you a leg up on the discussion material. Also, a second viewing
will give you more insight when it comes time to share with your teen.
Pray before and after previewing the movie. Should you use it
at all? If so, ask God to give you wisdom in evaluating the film and using it
to touch your teen in a meaningful way.
Predict ways the film might connect specifically with your teen.
Will she relate to a character’s successes or failures because of a similar
life experience?
Protect your family’s movie nights. It should be an enjoyable,
exclusive time shared together. Plan ahead to limit interruptions. Keep siblings
occupied elsewhere. Let the answering machine take your calls.
