WyoSylvia Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I am going through the Zones of Regulation with DS12 who is gifted. He is quite sensitive to violence, graphic scenes, darkness/evil and loudness. We are on lesson 3, Zones in video and the suggested video is The Outsiders which I think would clearly not work for him. (Charlie Brown and Finding Nemo are suggested also but they are obviously more childish.) Does anyone have a suggestion for another film that would illustrate the zones and the expected/unexpected behaviors, etc.? He does have a fun sense of humor and loves Brit comedies and old shows, i.e. Burns and Allen, so he is open to a wide variety I think. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea 4 Three Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Inside Out is great for talking about the Zones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targhee Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Not sure, but what about Big Hero 6 (too violent?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lecka Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I hear the Toy Story movies mentioned a lot, but they might seem young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyoSylvia Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 I will look into the movies you all have mentioned. I've seen a couple of the Toy Story films but not the others mentioned. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I would like to know if there are also any other, non-animated, films for this topic. As Lecka mentioned, I was hoping to find something a bit more adult so that he doesn't feel like this is a childish issue. (He really hates being talked-down-to which does seem to happen to him a lot.) Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lecka Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Maybe you could look for examples from stuff he is watching anyway. For people running a group, they need to find something that a group of kids can watch and all understand, and will probably be reasonably popular with all the kids. But you can use anything he likes. I bet there are some unexpected behaviors in British comedy. It is probably too mature for him to watch all of it, but Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch would have a lot of clips with him doing unexpected things. That is the only British show I have watched in a long time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
