Holidays: From what age can my child go to the movies?

In the cinema, darkness, the crowd but also the sound can scare the children. There is no point in forcing them to go through the doors of a dark room if they are not ready.
To each toddler, his temperament
Your daughter is frightened as soon as she sees the villain in a cartoon? Better to wait ... Similarly, if your son jumps at the slightest sound, again, postpone your exit.
On the other hand, if your toddler is able to stand in front of a cartoon from start to finish, quietly, then he's ready for his first movie release. In general, it is from three years child is able to fully see a Disney on the big screen.
The film, a primordial choice
The cartoon is a safe bet, which seduces both the children that parents, thanks to the double level of reading. However, before taking your toddler, watch the trailer and make sure the content is suitable.
Follow the recommendations carefully. If a cartoon is recommended for more than 10 years, do not take your 4 year old. Otherwise, the crying sequence is assured.
Also prefer a feature that does not exceed 1:30. The children sometimes have trouble keeping up. Titanic and his 3:15 will be for later.
Prepare your child
The cinema is a great outing for a child. Before leaving, prepare him for what he will see and live. Explain that the room will darken after a while. You will not have to be afraid. On the contrary, this is the signal that the cartoon will soon begin. In the same way, inculcate silence. In the cinema, we whisper, unlike the house where we can talk in front of the TV. Also emphasize the fictional side. Nothing he sees is true. It's "for fake".
Just before the start of the session, sit next to him to reassure him, and near an alley to go out quickly when needed. Moreover, cinema is always a great moment and the children often need to communicate after this great experience. So listen to it. Your toddler may be a future film critic!
