View my full "Screen-Time Guide" HERE.
Before we dive into some recommended shows and movies, please do not take someone else's word when it comes to a movie appropriate for your child. I highly recommend reading up on any new media yourself, or watching yourself, before showing your young child.
What one family is comfortable with and deems “appropriate,” another may not. And that’s okay!
