Find Those Nemo’s in Your Life and Remember to Communicate
How the movie,’Finding Nemo,’a Walt Disney picture can help parents and children learn to communicate together. How Nemo and Tarzan are similar.
‘Finding Nemo,’ is a Walt Disney picture, A Pixar Animation Studios Film. This film is about a young clownfish who decided to test the waters where he lived underwater and show his father he was not as young as he thought.
Nemo’s father Marlin was overprotective. He thought he was protecting Nemo when he set all his rules for him. Marlin had just lost his sweetheart while trying to protect her young ones yet to be born. He didn’t want to lose anyone again. He thought he had to become an over protecting father.
Parents today should watch this movie several times together and ask their children how they feel about Nemo’s courage and his father’s strict rules. It may surprise you to find out that children do indeed want rules. The want us to trust their instincts on occasions where they have earned it.
Children are born curious and love to explore. They need rules and tend to try to leap over all boundaries that have been set for them. Parents can learn a lot from the movie, ‘Finding Nemo.’ Fathers especially can learn what it takes to be the parent in full charge of their children’s safety; mind and body.
Childcare givers should watch this movie with the children that they do childcare services for. Then they will have the opportunity to talk heart to heart with them about life’s ups and downs. Children learn from experience. They do tend to want more rope to swing on, like Tarzan’s tree of life.
Tarzan and Nemo had a lot in common. They both had to fight the odds that were placed before them. Tarzan was alone in the jungle and found many ways to survive. He did this all on his own. He learned how to communicate with the animals in very special ways. Nemo felt alone before he was placed in the tank bowl. He could either give up and cry that he lost his father by being stubborn, or learn how to make friends and fight to become free once again.
All curious minds think alike. They want to explore until it’s too dark to see any more. Parents and their children should set a side time to get to know one another better through communication. Parents could ask their children to pick one day a week to set down and really listen to their children. Children who feel like they have been heard prove to have higher self esteem and confidence.
Now, Find all your little Nemo’s and go home together feeling safe, sound, and most of all loved.
I have never seen the film but It sounds as if it is giving out messages which need thinking about. Communication withing the family is so important. A very good post.

We have the film on disc and I have never watched it as we don’t have kiddies but I will now after reading your article,well done. LB
Great post
good post
Interesting. I hadn’t watched finding Nemo but understood the relevance from your post.
You folks have to watch Finding Nemo! Parents have to learn that we cannot protect our children from everything in life. Some things they will have to learn on their own. We love them and teach them the best we can, but we have to let them grow as individuals and make some decisions for themselves (based on their age and level of maturity of course).
good article for parenting. Thank you Jenny
Very good article on parenting especailly now when the rules are changing all the time.
Thanks lee ness
Very good relation! Nice article!
I’m learning now to let go and let my kids learn the hard way.. allowing them to make mistakes and learning from them. Like a plant, we need to be broken sometimes in order to grow. Wonderful write.
Great article with an important message. My parents should watch this.
Such a very good film. I’ve watched it a couple of times. The last time with my nephew.
Good messages and well presented.
I loved to watch nemo and tarzan. They delivered an important message. liked it.
Great share, friend. Outstanding.
This is such a good way of getting your message across, well done Jenny. I’m teaching an over-protected child at school at the moment, and it’s so sad that parents can ruin children’s lives like this. I like your Nemo – Tarzan comparison.
wonderful, you put it in such a way that I feel like watching them straight away…
You made some very good points. I think most children’s movies have morals but they aren’t obvious. An examination such as you made needs to be done. Are these messages slipping into our children’s minds subconsciously? Perhaps not so communication between parents and children while watching the movie is important.
Great write.
i have seen the film
moral lesson one gets from the movie would be helpful in giving some qualtiy to family relationships

I like you idea of using finding Nemo for discussion with our children. How right you are that we should take time to talk with them. My son teaches me so much. Especially patience. Thank you for another insightful article.
Very nice, thanks for sharing
Great review and application to caring for our children. They can make movies that teach both parents and children. i think I’ll go and phone one of my gown-up Nemos right now. Good job!

This is true! Everyone should watch the movie. Good share.
