3 Fantastic Children's Movies about Respect

Just before I sat down to write this blog post my daughter was ignoring me and saying, "No.  I don't want to."  It is VERY recent that this attitude has started happening.  It breaks my heart because she has always been very respectful.  

She could be way worse.  I know that and I am grateful for that, but it is still very hard for me.  Since this is recent I am also grateful that this month we are talking about the value respect.  It came at such a perfect time for me.  

Respect is one of those things that needs to constantly be talked about.  I love teaching through movies and so I found 3 fantastic children's movies about respect.  These are great for younger kids and can be great movies to start wonderful discussions as a family.

Mary Poppins

Who doesn't love this popular nanny?  She is so fun to be around, BUT she also teaches the Banks kids some very important life lessons.  She is so good at teaching them respect.  Their rooms were clean after Mary Poppins came around and they were all around more respectful to others as well. 

Babe

We recently went to the county fair and saw baby pigs.  Is there anything more cute?!  I don't think so.  Maybe the baby goats can compare, but oh my word!  Too cute!  Anyways, back to the topic at hand.  This movie is so cute.  Babe learns how to gain respect by showing respect.  He was respectful to his fellow farm animal friends.  He used the words "Please" and "Thank you" often.  

Ice Age

This movie is so fun to watch, but at the same time you can turn it into a learning experience as well.  Sid gets teased often, but he still is respectful to his friends.  That is so important to teach kids.  That even though others aren't being respectful that you should still be respectful.
