10 movies your toddler must see before he goes to school


Despicable Me 2



If you have a toddler who loves to see TV then switch off those disgusting cartoons shows now and download these adorable, life changing movies that will make your toddler engrossed and happy. Not all toddlers love all the cartoon movies, so don't force upon them what you like. Trust me, I tried all the Cinderella movies on him and he just disliked it so much. It will be great if you can carry a few on your iPad too if you are travelling. They make great companions and you can't really have the entire time entertaining him/her. 


A Bug's Life

These are the tries and tested movies that your child will love.

  1. Tinkle Bell and the Lost Treasure
  2. Cars 1 and 2
  3. Big Hero 6
  4. A Bug's Life
  5. Nemo
  6. Ice Age 1,2,3,4
  7. Despicable Me 1 & 2
  8. Toy Story 1,2,3
  9. The Croods
  10. Madagascar  3

If you know any other movies that your children like then comment below. I would love to add a few more.

Life of homeschooling Mom

8 a.m- Wake up the Targeted Kid
9 a.m- Get dressed and worry why he is not still doing his potty
10 a.m- Busy in the kitchen, making two alternate dishes
11 a.m- Get the books out and catch the running kid into the chair.
11:10- Still trying to catch the target
11:15- Opening books but one hand still holding the kid
11:20- Finally he holds a crayon with laughter in his eyes (Make Me, it says)
11.30- The crayons just flew over the paper and he is just done in five minutes. I give him the picture book but he wants to dig into the eraser now.
11:35- The eraser almost give up its life. I give him a break (Maybe I need one already)
11:45- The standing line and sleeping line get started but then the fascination with the eraser doesn't go. So there is a lot of erasing.
12:00p.m- The picture book gets its due. He looks like JCB and Crane and wants those toys now. He is hungry again though.
12:15- I give him chips and escape to the bathroom instructing him to finish one page of colouring. Inside the bathroom: I am thinking about what's going on outside. Is he already digging into the eraser again? Is he colouring? Did he make a mess. And I am also instructing him that i''ll be out in five minutes. (Holding my breath). There is giggling outside and I am sure he found my bottle of cream.
12:30- I peep outside looking for any disasters only to see him busy with colouring. And he actually finished with excellent results.
Almost done with schooling now and I long to hold my mobile again and Facebook or just browse blogs about parenting (What am I doing wrong?)
I kind of make notes in my mind what to do tomorrow and nothing gets done. There is a lot of running and catching...And making him sit.
Final thoughts: I am really not cut out for this job.
