As parents — we're always looking for ways to protect our children from bullies. The problem is, we can't be everywhere at once. Sucks, right? We all want our children to realize that they can talk to us about EVERY aspect of their lives, right? Sometimes they're not willing to discuss what's bothering them (and that's okay), we just need to let them know that we're there for them when they're ready to open up. Need help sparking the conversation? Check out this wonderful list of movies and TV shows that you can stream right now on Netflix.
Parents of teens and tweens can leverage Netflix titles that address bullying head-on, while those with younger children can demonstrate the importance of standing up for others using superheroes to show there is a hero in every one of us.

Love the movie suggestions, thanks for the recommendations.
ReplyDeleteBullying is a subject I still can't wrap my head around ,there's just no excuse!
ReplyDeleteI don't look forward to having to tackle this issue. Thanks for the resources to make it easier!
ReplyDeleteGreat picks! We love Netflix.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great selection to help your kids learn about bullying.
ReplyDeleteNetflix has everything! My son's a bit too young for most of these, but I totally want to watch Hercules with him!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this.. so sad for all the bullying that happens these days. Nice to have ways to help kids out!!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's school just had a no bullying day. Not sure it went the way they wanted it too. They combined it with the Halloween parade. I think it got lost.

ReplyDeleteMy son has a bully in his class that picks on him. Believe it or not, his school won't do anything about it. REally makes me angry to think with all we know about bullying, that some states are still so back ward.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize there were so many great movies out there with an anti-bullying message. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to watch the first one. Great selection!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the suggestions definitely an important message.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a growing problem that needs to stop!
ReplyDeleteThose are all great titles. We have Netflix and I had no idea some of these movies were streaming.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! Bullying has seriously gotten out of hand. It seems way worse than when I was little. But the hero inside all of us is something we can be teaching our kids everyday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to share with kids that they have options if being bullied. I know I would have been more prone to open up, if I had been bullied, after watching a movie sharing someone else s struggle with this.
ReplyDeleteThese are all great movies!
ReplyDeleteHopefully these movies can spread more awareness
ReplyDeleteOh bullying, that's what I wrote about today, too. It's so sad that I'm encountering this bullying behavior on a preschool playground. www.RocksNoSaltMommy
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea and hope that one day bullying is something that no longer is acceptable for any reason.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post! I will keep some of these in mind for our boys when they get a little older.
ReplyDeleteMy nephew was being bullied in school last year. It's so sad that this is becoming a huge problem.
ReplyDeleteI always worry about Bullying since my oldest has autism and children with autism are often targeted by bullies.
ReplyDeleteSometimes a movie's subtle message can be just what they need!
ReplyDeleteMy son is just getting to the age where he's really into superheroes. I think all children could benefit from a movie with an anti-bullying message.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of all of them, and I've never watched Billy Elliot but have always wanted to...
ReplyDeleteI think it's so sad that bullying has gotten so out of hand. Not that any is acceptable.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Netflix had so many wonderful anti bully titles!
ReplyDeleteGreat movies for a great cause. I don't have children but will pass along!!
ReplyDeleteWill try to check these out, my stepson has a tendency to bully my son, he needs to watch these!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any of the big kid movies. I love Hercules, though!
ReplyDeleteI spent too many days coming home from school crying because I had been bullied. I'm glad that the entertainment industry is making media that helps kids get a sense of worth.
ReplyDeleteI adore Netflix and the options it gives us as a family for wholesome entertainment.
ReplyDeleteBullying is becoming such a terrible issue these days. I didn't realize there were so many Netflix titles on the topic though.
ReplyDeleteI love that Netflix is passing along this message about not bullying.
ReplyDeleteI worry about M getting bullied.. I've so much about kids with allergies getting bullied and even worse people putting their allergenic food in their face.. :\
ReplyDeleteWhen my kids were younger they always stuck up for the underdog and still do! Great movies!
