More than just a tool of entertainment, cinema can be helpful to your children in better understanding life itself. And, how to match them with the right films? Which films should we introduce them to and at what age? How should we differentiate films which would not be appropriate for their ages or would adversely affect their psyche? Heed film critic and screenwriter Burak Göral’s words concerning “children and film.”
