Let’s admit all children love watching television. Screen-time, when used prudently, can benefit kids and impart valuable like lessons. Here, I have listed few of our favourite videos that sneak in learning and are fun to watch together as a family!
Life Lesson Videos For Kids
1. Emotional Intelligence
This video is great at helping children understand emotions and how to identify them. Perfect for toddlers, preschoolers and all the way to elementary kids.
2. Growth Mindset
Children easily get frustrated and angry. That’s when the power of a growth mindset helps them. Instead of preaching them every time, watch this video together to help your child overcome difficulties and learn the power of growth mindset.
3. Mindfulness
This is a great video for teaching children how to choose and act wisely. Suitable for kids grade 3 and above, this video addresses intuitive questions about mindfulness, helping children as well as adults think meta cognitively.
4. Power of Diversity & Inclusion
This is perhaps most needed. Even young children are capable of being mean. Often this results in exclusion and lead to bullying as well. Teach your kids to be includers with this amazing short Sesame Street video.
5. Staying Safe
We frequently watch this video at home. It is difficult for children to understand what is good and bad touch. This kid-friendly video is a great start to building an understanding of body safety.
6. Gender Equality
This is a great video on the subject. Grown ups need to watch it as much as the younger ones.
7. Respecting Differently-abled Children
This video talks about differently-abled kids in natural way and encourages viewers to think of them just like others, respect them and recognise their abilities beyond what meets the eye.
