Do you have movie night with your kids? We just started this. We have movie night every monday night. We get a movie for our kids to watch and have pizza. We watch one movie before bed. This is a good way for us to wind down as a family. I put our autistic son to bed first and the movie is just for our daughter. He has the pizza with us. This makes her feel special.

I have very fond memories of movie nights with my kids. We had them occasionally; usually on the weekends. We also had game nights which were very enjoyable. We had a favorite board games to play just like we had a favorite movies! I even purchased each child a new board game each Christmas. We had hours and hours of fun playing games or watching movies!

I haven't started game night yet. I'm a little reluctant because I think our daughter would get mad if anyone but her won and I'm not sure that is the right course of action to take. (letting her win all the time). I know she needs something to show her she's doing good but I haven't figured it all out yet. LOL Sometimes pulling teeth is easier then deciphering kids.

no we don't have movie night at my house, but we do try and take the children out to the movies at least once a month. maybe we should start doing movie nights at home. my 14 year old and i watch a lot of the same shows. but i don't watch to much cartoons with my 4 year old. we do watch a few things together, but i think we are going to work on a movie night now

Some of the stuff you can watch with a four year old has jokes only an adult would find as a joke. It's really cool watching cartoons for their hidden meaning. lOL

Unfortunately I do not have any children so no, I don't have a movie night with my kids. It's great that your daughter can feel special this way, but why do you do your movie night on a school night?

So it is special. She doesn't stay up any later, it's just different for her. I want to start doing games with her, but I need to wait until she is a little older. Besides, if I did a movie night on the weekend, how special would that be? It's easy to make it special if it's a school night.

Why do you have to wait until she is older for games? There are plenty of board games that are suitable for her age. As far as doing things on a school night, as she gets older and has more homework and as your son gets older you'll have to make changes to the routine.
