Martian Child

We watched Martian Child last night with Michael’s family. It was a wonderful, touching movie, and John and Joan Cusack made a fantastic brother-sister pair on screen. I think it conveyed some important tips about parenting, and it also promoted adoption of school-age children, who are often not as likely to be adopted. Anyway, I highly recommend the movie. My kids liked it as well, so it makes a good family movie. I kind of wonder about them observing children with a lot of emotional and behavioral problems, but I suppose they’ll be exposed to all that in a less positive setting, where those traits may be presented as desirable, eventually! So perhaps it’s good to give them a more mature perspective on those problems.
