Going Back to School With Netflix Original “Derek” & Teaching “Kindness is Magic” #StreamTeam

Disclosure:  I am currently a member of the Netflix Stream Team and this post is part of my involvement in the Group in exchange for receiving a product package.

Back to school time means more than just homework and sports, its also a great time to reinforce good social skills for kids. Well Netflix has an original series called “Derek” that is in second season currently.  It is a quirky British comedy starring Ricky Gervais in this mockumentary style comedy-drama that makes tough discussions more approachable.  Its a great way to foster a conversation about acceptance with teens and teach kindness and respect.

Here are 12 More Titles to Promote Kindness and Acceptance:

1. Rudy
2. Mulan
3. A Mile in His Shoes
4. Radio
5. Good Luck Charlie: Down a Tree
6. Glee

Want even more titles about kindness and acceptance? Our friends at Common Sense Media have shared a list of TV and movie titles that teach empathy – check out the list here.

And for little ones:

1. Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, Vol. 1 Ep. 6: Friends Help Each Other
2. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Season 3, Ep. 4: One Bad Apple
3. Arthur, Season 15, Ep. 8: Muffy’s Classic Classy Club / Best Enemies
4. The Hunchback of Notre Dame
5. Super Why, Season 1, Ep. 61: The Ugly Duckling: Becoming a Swan
6. The Fox and the Hound

How about a craft to make a Kindness Punch Box to keep the fun going?

  • This is such a great idea. I love Mulan and I think it's a great way to show kidness and that punchboard idea is amazing!

  • I love Derek. The characters are wonderful, and do show acceptance and love at its best. Unconditional. That being said. Many of the episodes are not kid friendly. I would be careful and prewatch the episode to ensure it would be appropriate for your kids before them watching alone. But maybe I am just overprotective. I agree it could be used to breech difficult topics, but the show can be quite crass.
