Not for our family. Well, at least not when our daughter was younger. Whenever we watched something, she couldn\u2019t help but talk through the whole thing. We would do our best to quiet her down but, when the show ended, the rapid fire of inquisitive questions began. \u201cWhy did they go there?\u201d \u201cWhy did they do that?\u201d \u201cDo those really exist?\u201d \u201cWhat happened to the other characters after?\u201d \u201cCan that really happen?\u201d \u201cWho gave them that?\u201d It got so bad at one point that we had to ban her from watching certain series or movies. The ongoing conversations about mermaids or why one parent often died sucked all the fun out of seeing films together. How I which had Netflix and Google back then.<\/p>\n<h3>Screen Time Questions and Answers \u2014 Then and Now<\/h3>\n<p>Sure, sometimes we could briefly explain that there was no deep meaning and that it was just part of the story. There were other times, though, when she asked deeper questions on subjects such as history, science, relationships, and pop culture. Those educational shows really made it tough on parents who didn\u2019t have instant access to the answers. It was the early 2000s after all. These days, most families have broadband internet with Wi-Fi at home or unlimited 4G LTE while out and about. If the kids ever ask a question you don\u2019t know the answer to, you can \u201cgoogle\u201d it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-59133\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/netflix-google-01.jpg\" alt=\"Netflix and Google family movie time and finding answers to questions kids ask during movies.\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/netflix-google-01.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/netflix-google-01-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/netflix-google-01-292x292.jpg 292w, https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/netflix-google-01-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/netflix-google-01-650x650.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/netflix-google-01-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/netflix-google-01-640x640.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Netflix and Google to the Rescue<\/h3>\n<p>Ah, the wonderful invention of online search engines.

While watching shows with the family, parents might also wonder a few things. Maybe a voice sounds familiar but you can\u2019t remember where you heard it before. Perhaps you recognize characters, themes, or stories from series you watched as a child and feel like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/animaniacs-netflix\/\">strolling down memory lane<\/a>. (So you can say, \u201cWow, I can\u2019t believe it was that long ago!\u201d then wallow in sorrow about how much older you are now\u2026) You may want to search these topics.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/80108182\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Trolls<\/a> \u2014 When did those super ugly dolls first come out?<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/80135073\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Beauty and the Beast<\/a> \u2014 Who sang the ending theme song of the original movie with Celine Dion?<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/80151644\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Puss in Boots: Trapped in an Epic Tale<\/a> \u2014 Didn\u2019t Puss have a different love interest in the movies?<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/80117526\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sing<\/a> \u2014 When did singing competitions get so popular?<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/80057578\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Little Prince<\/a> \u2014 Who plays the Aviator?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-59135\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/The-Little-Prince.gif\" alt=\"Netflix and Google Who plays the Aviator in the little prince\" width=\"320\" height=\"180\" \/><\/p>\n<p>No matter what questions might come up, at least parents have to tools to quickly look them up. This streamlines the answering process, allowing you to go back to watching the show and actually try to enjoy it. It also helps that you can pause while streaming Netflix, so you don&#8217;t miss anything while you finish talking. <\/p>\n<p>Even now, Munchkin has a tendency to add her personal commentary to flicks we\u2019re streaming. But, instead of getting irritated, I kind of like it. I often find her input funny and\/or interesting. In fact, shows are more fun when she watches with me and she\u2019s my go-to tv buddy for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/supergirl-mother-daughter\/\">many series<\/a> (except when I\u2019m watching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/get-your-way-on-family-movie-night\/\">rom-com<\/a> because she thinks they\u2019re slimy).
