Holiday Movies for Teens and Tweens – No They’re Not Too Old

Inside:Holiday movies for teens and tweens

When our kids are little, one of the best parts of the holidays is making hot cocoa, snuggling up on the coach and watching all the holiday specials we loved as kids. There is Rudolph and Frosty and of course we can’t forget Charlie Brown.

But as our kids get older, they can go through a stage of feeling like they’re “too old” for these nostalgic favorites.  Or they may just be tired of watching the same old shows and movies.

That doesn’t mean that this tradition can’t go on. It simply means it’s time to move on to movies that are a bit more mature. Many of these holiday movies for teens and tweens are classics that the whole family can enjoy, while some may be new for everyone.

Either way, teens and tweens still love hot cocoa, so don’t skimp on the marshmallows. And although your big kids may have outgrown your lap, they are never too big for a little snuggle on the couch as long as their friends aren’t over watching with you.

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
