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.
I took my twin nieces to a movie theatre for the first time to see
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.
