A LIST OF OUR FAVORITE CHILDREN’S TV SHOWS & FILMS
Over the past 3 years, we’ve been building a good list of TV shows and movies that we enjoy watching together as a family. There are a lot of chaotic and unhelpful forms of entertainment out there. I’ve wanted television to be something that both educates and sets a calm tone in our home. I’ve compiled a list of some of my favorites that have encouraged an atmosphere of gentleness and learning. I’m sure this list will grow over the years, but in the meantime here is a start. Enjoy!
