Amazing

Have fun at the pool! It's awesome you spend time with you kids and even better you take time to purposefully teach them the ways of life.

nice keep it up

oh nice keep it up

I just need a more violent movie like a Quentin Tarantino-like Batman movie where the enemies die ha ha. Batman movies seem to never deliver that tho.

Utilizing moments of teaching and instruction are good.  Movies can offer many moments of resources for that with your children or others.  Perhaps it would encourage a movie night with your children and their many friends.   You could take the opportunity to use the movies to teach valuable life instruction from the movies in more of a relaxed informal setting yet as a class.  Thanks for sharing. - Troy

Great father. I like your post.This post can teach me to be a good father to family.

> I don't just give a quick answer, I explain why businesses use them in order to be energy efficient

HAHAH! This is awesome! As a fellow over-explainer you get my nod and a tip of the hat, sir. The PG label, I think, is more of a reminder for the parents to do exactly what you do. You really do need to drill in them the lessons as the movie goes or else they would make up their own rules if the scenes remain unexplained. It's not annoying, you're just doing what every parent **should** do.

The premise of your series has tons of potential. I had thought of writing similar years ago, but I haven't gotten to it. It's interesting to see what you come up with here so that I could make mental comparison. I'm sure yours is going to be great, man!

> I am going to fight my ADHD and OCD

You should've finished your post with that. No periods, hanging statement. That'll teach your ADHD and OCD a thing or two! No one messes with

You are a respectful father , not fathers would just give a simple answer to their kids , we learn a lot from this platform and we can express our feelings and thoughts in so many ways . @hanshotfirst we can keep teaching everyone here as well and spread the knowledge

I know the struggles with ADHD my daughter has it, Does sound as if you now control your ADHD you  know what your capable of and what you can't do :)

Actually this is the best way to do it in order to be a good dad. My relatives, including my parents were never like this. If they wanted me to stop doing something they would make up a scary story in order for me to stop. If the question was difficult, "god did it" was the answer. This is a killer for the mind. As I was growing up, I had to fight through a lot of bullshit to understand how things worked. 

I see my cousins and siblings following the same mentality today. I try to go the other way but they retaliate since it makes the child asking more and more questions. They were taught in the same fashion and thus they cannot break free from the cycle.

The more questions and mistakes a child makes, the better is prepared for the world. The more we numb their minds they harder life will treat them. If parents understood this simple fact many would be following your way. OCD or not. It works.

If you're going to show a PG 13 rated movie to a below teenage kid, it better be Batman Begins. It's a really nice movie with many 'teachable' moments, lol! I tend to do the same with my girlfriend while watching anything. She hates it :D

You're a great father. Most of us miss such lessons from a movie :)

>When we watch, I process mature scenes with him and point out "teachable moments". It drives him nuts!

Haha, I would have a hard time not laughing watching that whole scene. 

Seriously though, he'll remember those moments, I'm sure you know that. My dad did something similar with us after movies. At the time, it was just dad talking about the movie, now, I imagine doing the same thing with my kids.

Great Father, teacher & writer:)
Upped & Followed

At least you're a parent that respects that a kid should probably not see a pg-13 movie, even if it is a superhero movie.  I know enough that show them to 8 year olds and under.

Oh yeah, throw her around while you can!

I will have to watch myself when watching older movies with mine. Just now the life lessons are few and far between in the kiddy ones without them being the obvious rammed down the neck sort!

to being dad,just like a big responsibility and of course it's all worth that i learnt with my children

You are a great man! Thanks for sharing

@hanshotfirst, you're a blessed man.  Thank you.

>When my kids ask me questions, I give very thorough explanations.

Me too. I've gotten so I can actually hear their eyes rolling when I do it.

BTW, my wife and I were so disappointed in the way that Neville Longbottom and Molly Weasley were portrayed in the final film. The book showed them as more quietly heroic as opposed to the lucky doofuses they came across as on screen.

This was a great first chapter.

I'm the same way about the idea of writing a whole book, I'm happier with writing 'episodes'. Another trick that I learned from the Brazilian author Jorje Luis Borges is to write a book report about a book that I never bothered to write-- the Cliff Notes version, let the reader finish the details! 
Congratulations on the year anniversary, I'm coming up on a year at Steemit this week too, I suppose an epic post is due for that milestone, or a book report _about_ the epic post perhaps...

It's very good of you to teach your kids like that. Not many parents would even care what their kids watch and teaching is way out of the question for many.

I'm so proud, teaching the heck out the movies to your kids, what a great dad you are lol.

Great, kids need to learn about these stories
