[blparent] bringing children to theaters

[Brandy W]

It really depends on the kid. I've known kids who just weren't ready till 5
or so. If Elmo came to town you could take him now. You really have to look
at the show, the targeted audience for the show, and if you think your child
is ready. Cartoon shows live are expecting the toddlers and up, but going to
see winey the pooh in the movie theater may need to wait. Good luck deciding
when it is right for your little one.

Hello all,

 

My son Dawson is now 18 months and I'm amazed with how long he can keep his
focus on something he's enjoying, especially when Elmo's on the television.
GRIN  I know he's too young right now to bring to the movies or a play and
expect him to sit still and be quiet but I'd like to know from those of you
with older kids what age your children showed the maturity and readiness to
do these things?  I'm thinking that around 3 might be a good age because we
can have actual conversation about expected behavior and also talk about
what's going on in the play or movie should he have questions.

 

Thanks,

 

Erin
