Here are five things to avoid when
 choosing movies for young kids.

00:00:04.470 --> 00:00:07.060
First, nix loud noises.

00:00:07.060 --> 00:00:10.710
Keep it calm by avoiding fast action and scary stuff.

00:00:10.710 --> 00:00:12.950
Second, no doom-and-gloom.

00:00:12.950 --> 00:00:18.470
Steer clear of stories where beloved characters,
parents, or pets get lost or die.

00:00:18.470 --> 00:00:21.689
Third, bypass stereotypes.

00:00:21.689 --> 00:00:26.080
Avoid limiting portrayals, like helpless heroines
or one-dimensional tough guys.

00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:28.500
Fourth, ban fights.

00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:33.270
Skip movies with big arguments, 
strong emotions, and violence.

00:00:33.270 --> 00:00:35.059
And fifth, limit the "ew" factor.

00:00:35.060 --> 00:00:38.660
Kissing and other sexy stuff can wait.

00:00:38.860 --> 00:00:41.660
