Who says kids can't learn anything on “TV” or that too much screen time is a bad thing? There are plenty of educational, entertaining, and informative shows your kids can watch on Netflix. These movies come with Invaluable Skills Your Kids Can Learn From Netflix This Summer.
Wondering how you can prevent summer brain drain? I provided a list of 10 activities your kids can do this summer in that post.
Just because school is out doesn't mean the learning stops. My 13-year-old son and six-year-old daughter can learn plenty of things this summer…on Netflix.
No vegging on the couch playing video games all summer long. It’s important to keep reading and learning throughout the summer so you don’t lose those skills that you worked on during the school year.
Summer brain drain (or the summer slide, as educators like to call it) is the learning loss that takes place for many students during the summer months. It’s particularly hard on math and reading skills.

“I absolutely love sharing movies with my kids as a way to teach them valuable lessons. It's like this awesome bonding experience where we all snuggle up on the couch with some popcorn, and I get to see their little faces light up with curiosity. Whether it's a classic with timeless morals or a new animated flick with hidden gems of wisdom, it's a fantastic way to impart important life lessons in a fun and engaging way. Plus, the post-movie discussions are priceless – hearing their take on the characters and the story adds a whole new dimension to our family time.” –a Homeschooling parent
