We are so blessed to have collected a wide assortment of educational DVDs. We don't have cable, so I can feel good about the screen time Xander does get. However, he tends to get stuck in modes where he watches the same movie again and again and again... I have decided I want to be a little more intentional about what he watches.
I gathered all of our DVDs to take inventory (and weed out the ones he has outgrown). He had fun "helping."
Here is what I came up with. I will choose 5 movies I want Xander to watch each week. The first movie he watches for a day needs to be from the list. If he watches anything else, then he can choose from his other movies or from Netflix. Two of the movies each week will be an episode of Magic School Bus, first in English, then in Spanish. The other choices will just be other movies we have in hopes of varying the content he receives. Other than watching Magic School Bus in English before Spanish, I really don't care the order.
I printed up this little list and laminated it. It now lives by the DVD player, where I also put the discs for the week.
To make sure I rotate, I scanned the disc list for Magic School Bus and typed up the list of our other movies. I'll put a check next to each one as we watch it.
