My kids have been asking me to go to the movies for quite some time, so I decided to choose an interesting movie and the three of us went to the Cinema (daddy at work…).

So, we went to watch Nanny McPhee Returns. We had already seen the first Nanny McPhee for several times at home and they were really excited to watch the second movie.

This time, Nanny McPhee arrives to help a harried young mother who is trying to run the family farm while her husband is away at war, though she uses her magic to teach the woman’s children and their two spoiled cousins five new lessons.

I found the movie quite interesting and helpful when it comes to teaching the kids five essential rules:

1. Stop Fighting
2. Learn to Share
3. Work Together
4. Be Brave
5. Have Faith

I have been teaching my kids these rules since they were little so it was quite impressive to see that expressed in a movie. They were also excited to see what was going to disappear next on Nanny’s face.

For those who don’t know, Nanny helps families in trouble when it comes to make the kids follow rules. When she arrives she has five special things on her face and each of one will disappear each time the kids follow one of the rules.

Nanny Mcphee special mote is: I’ll be around when you think you don’t need me and I will be gone when you want me to stay.

This is an excellent movie to be watched by the entire family.

One of the great features of this movie this time was that it was doubled to Portuguese (our language) so my youngest was able to appreciate the movie at its fullest.
