What Parents Need to Know
About My Dad the Rock Star
Parents need to know that even though Willy, the main character, would vastly prefer a regular dad to his famous rock star patriarch, he's loyal and protective of Rock and encourages him to curb his excesses, especially when they create a problem for the neighbors.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what Willy wants most. He can clearly have any material thing that he wants, but he'd do or give anything not to move away from his town and his friends. It's a Richie Rich message, but it still bears repeating: Just about every kid would rather have his gang of pals than the latest tech gizmo, even kids for whom those gizmos are well within reach. Rock's oblivious antics might also lead to discussion: Why do you think his neighbors are angry? What could he have done differently? But the show's broader message -- the importance of friends over money -- might come across better if it's not pounded home with too heavy a hand.
