[blparent] bringing children to theaters

[Veronica Smith]

Actually, gab was 18 months old when we took her to see Stuart Little.  She
sat perfectly still through the whole movie, never taking her eyes off the
screen, never uttering a word.  Most of my friends take their children to
the movie theatres as soon as they are born.  My friend best friend says the
sooner the better.  They see others sitting and they do the same.

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
