Going to the movies with your child for the first time is a milestone to be cherished and celebrated. While many movie-loving parents can’t wait to get there with their 2-year-old, it might be wise to grab an aisle seat for an exit strategy if you do go with a child under the age of 3.

A Bug’s Life when they were only 2. They were wide-eyed with excitement, taking in all the lights and sights and giant candy boxes. Once the movie started, they were enthralled with the animation and giant screen, but it didn’t last; unfortunately, we had to bug out of there mid-movie because it was “too loud.” With hands clasped over their ears, they couldn’t take it anymore, no matter how dazzled they were by the brilliant animation.

Georg climbs a log pile while training for bouldering, in Kochel am See, Bavaria, Germany, on 15 September. Bouldering entails climbing on small rock formations and boulders of usually no more than six meters in height, without ropes or harnesses. Historically, it began as a training activity for more ambitious climbing and mountaineering pursuits but has evolved into a sport in its own right. Rock-climbing gyms and sports facilities in Munich were closed as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, so athletes had become creative in their training methods.
