Ferdinand the Bull Can Teach Your Kids About Their Strengths

Ferdinand the Bull Can Teach Your Kids About Their Strengths | Psychology of Media & Technology | Scoop.it
The classic story of Ferdinand the Bull is now an animated film. Ferdinand is family-friendly but it can be so much more. You can use it to help your kids find their strengths.
Dr. Pamela Rutledge's insight:

My parenting tip this holiday season: use Ferdinand the Bull as a hidden holiday gift to plant some new seeds in your kids (or your own) brain. The movie's overt messages “you can’t judge a book by its cover” and “be true to yourself” imply that you have a right to be who you are.  A subtler, and equally important, message is that Ferdinand’s success at doing so comes from discovering and using his strengths. Ferdinand isn’t a fighter but he has tremendous strengths of courage, creativity, resilience, loyalty and altruism that will enable him to succeed as a lover. Talk about what’s unseen or uncelebrated that allowed Ferdinand to achieve his end goal--and might get your kid to his or hers. #positivepsychology #mediaforgood #medialiteracy
