 Movies are a great way of relaxation and they come in various forms.  Most times, real life experiences are replicated in them as a way of educating members of the public.  However, it is important to monitor kids to ensure that they are not exposed to certain movies that may have negative impact on them.

Children are very impressionable and whatever they see or hear remains with them for a long time.

These days, we have a lot of violent activities going on in our communities and efforts are being made to curb them. One way of tackling the problem is to reduce the exposure of children to movies with violent scenes. Such movies do not help the children in any way.  Parents and guardians should steer their children in the right direction so that they can be the leaders that we desire in the future.
