This activity requires that your child place himself in a TV character's position.

Ask your child what he would have done in that character's place. Does your child agree with the character's actions? What would he or she have done differently? The same?

 

This activity is great because it makes the child go beyond what is happening and do some critical thinking. You can also do this activity with a book, movie, or short story.
