Oogies Loves Kids Movie Labor Day Release & the New Direction and Vision of Kenn Viselman

Oogies Loves Mom Blogger Event in Hollywood

Rarely do media, including women bloggers like me that regular review feature films, get the chance to preview a major movie six weeks in advance of opening to the public. Yet that's exactly what happened earlier this week when I had the opportunity to attend a special event just for mommy bloggers and their young children at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood to view The Oogies Loves in the Big Balloon Adventure which is set for national release this Labor Day Weekend.


What a unique hands-on experience to screen this feature film. First our select group of Southern California mom bloggers was treated to a healthy light breakfast then we re escorted into Raleigh's Charlie Chaplin Theater for an in-person presentation by Kenn Viselman the mastermind who brought Teletubbies to critical acclaim on PBS here in the U.S. several decades ago. A question and answer session followed to further flush out the intriguing logic behind this project.

Oogies Loves preview held at Raleigh Studios, Hollywood, California

Then the children, mostly toddlers and preschoolers who had been entertained outside at a supervised arts and crafts table, joined us in the theater for an interactive movie experience like I've never seen before. 


Stay tuned for more about this tomorrow. I'll be elaborating upon Viselman's vision as told to our mom blog group and why this movie could quite possibly turn out to be a landmark picture for the 2 to 7 kids age group. I'll also be sharing my preview experience, particularly my observations about how the kids reacted to everything that was going on up on the big screen. I'll also be sharing additional pictures I took at this studio event. 


A separate full length movie critique will be published on MommyBlogExpert in late August after the embargo is lifted shortly before the film opens.

Cyberbullying Tips for Moms, Dads to Help Kids

Parenting

Kids Need, Want Involved Parents

Unfortunately, with back to school season, bullying increases among students. In fact, the school year before the worldwide pandemic closed schools across the country, a 2019 -2020 National Center for Educational Statistics study found that around 22% of students ages 12-18 reported being bullied at school. For younger children in elementary school, bullying manifests itself somewhat differently with teasing, name calling and exclusion from friend groups all being quite common.

5 Anti-Bullying Tips to Support Your Child 

Read on to learn what you can do as a Mom or Dad to protect kids and help them navigate a world that includes both IRL (in real life) physical bullying which is more likely to happen to boys and cyberbullying online which tends to have more female victims.

• Set a good example: Kids learn from everything you do and will mirror your every action.

• Talk about it before it happens: Make sure your child is prepared to identify cyberbullying and knows how to deal with an incident should it occur.

• When you see it, address it: Whether it is bullying in your house or on your computer, if you discover a situation where your child is being bullied or bullying another child, it is your responsibility to intervene and stop it.

• Talk about your House Rules: What happens if your child gets caught being a cyberbully? Would you consider an amnesty policy for encouraging your child to tell you when something is wrong? Think about your house rules and discuss them with your whole family so everyone plays by the same rules.

• Use a Parental Intelligence System: At the very least you should monitor your children‚ social media accounts. Some parents choose to allow their child access with their knowledge but be aware that if you are not in control of their privacy settings, your kids can easily block what mom and dad see.

Remember, no matter how old they are, your child needs a parent, or other responsible adult such as school staff and counselors, to be involved because bullying transcends all age groups. From the innocence of early school age children to the increasingly complicated interactions and behaviors of tweens and teenagers, bullying does leave emotional scars which can follow youth into adulthood. The troubling statistics reveal that there is an urgent need today for comprehensive prevention and intervention strategies which ideally should begin with and be reinforced by parents at home.
