Children watch a great deal. Rather than only asking how much, it can help to ask a different question: what does my child do with what they’ve watched?
Talk about it
A quick chat afterwards — “What was the best bit? What would you change?” — moves a child from audience to critic.
Make something from it
Draw the character in a new place. Write the next scene. Build the machine from the episode out of a cereal box. The aim isn’t a polished result; it’s the move from taking an idea in to putting one out.
