Screen Cares co-hosts Jennie and Sarah use the power of movies to help parents navigate the fears that may arise as their babies hit the road in a world that can sometimes feel like the Wild West. When Sarah asked Jennie to find a movie to help guide the conversation, Jennie went off trail and picked a movie with no actual cars, but lots of horsepower, the 2010 remake of the classic Western film True Grit. Listen to learn how history can provide context and comfort for these big rights-of-passage moments in a child’s life.
The world may be scary and time may be passing by with no regard for speed-limits, but it’s nice to remember that when parents have grit and kids have strong connections, there’s no road too wild or distance too great for our love to reach and sustain our children- parent’s have been doing it for tens–of–thousands of years.
