eBeanstalk: "What age is appropriate…"

Here is another post from eBeanstalk.com:

Question: What age is appropriate to take a child to see their first movie at a movie theater?

I think it’s less about age and more depends on how much your child enjoys a movie or TV.

Can your child sit for more than 15 -20 minutes for tv/movie or does he loose focus after the first 5 minutes? Also, I would ask myself is my child scared of the dark.

You can try taking your child to the movies but also have a realistic expectation of maybe leaving the movie theater early or even after a half-an-hour.

A few tricks that may hold a child out longer…

Get a small snack at the beginning.
Have a few spare-snacks and take out ‘the reserves’ in the middle of the movie.
Pick movies that have characters your child enjoys and are not just cartoons

Off to the movies you go…Good Luck!
