According to the article "Do Violent Movies Create Violent Children?", parents can sit down and watch movies with their children and discuss or express their thoughts about the particular movie they are watching ( McLellan 502) . This allows the child to participate in the film. They can criticize it and this will make them more aware of the fact that it is a fictional film; It doesn't happen in real life. Some other tips when watching a movie with a child are to talk about the violent or scary parts, to turn off the movie if the child gets angry, and to be an observer of any movie the child is watching, violent or not (Toddlers and Children).
