It is such a brilliant movie, which has so many life lessons in it. I am a huge believer in teaching kids lessons and principles visually. It&#8217;s almost like you can see the light bulb go off in their heads as they connect the lessons to the visual pictures &#8211; or in this case, the movie. I have loved <em>Finding Nemo<\/em> since the day it came out for this very reason.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-14547\" title=\"nemo3\" src=\"https:\/\/mommybites.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/09\/nemo31.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mommybites.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/09\/nemo31.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mommybites.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/09\/nemo31.jpg?resize=50,42 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/>There are huge lessons that are imparted in this movie to kids as well as adults. Like Dory, the blue fish that becomes Marlin&#8217;s best friend during the rescue mission. Her motto for living under the sea is, &#8220;Just keep swimming, swimming swimming.&#8221; When times get hard in their journey, she always sang these words to Marlin. She wanted Marlin to keep trying even when times were challenging. Don&#8217;t stop and don&#8217;t ever give up. Just because you don&#8217;t know exactly where you are headed, just keep on swimming! The meaning in this is very simple &#8211; life can be difficult and even young children are going to have trying days and times in their lives. They can remember Dory from <em>Finding Nemo<\/em> and think, &#8220;Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I bet you won&#8217;t believe me when I say that <em>Finding Nemo<\/em> can be even better <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-14548\" title=\"nemo2\" src=\"https:\/\/mommybites.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/09\/nemo2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"149\" height=\"149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mommybites.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/09\/nemo2.jpg 166w, https:\/\/mommybites.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/09\/nemo2.jpg?resize=150,150 150w, https:\/\/mommybites.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/09\/nemo2.jpg?resize=50,50 50w, https:\/\/mommybites.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/09\/nemo2.jpg?resize=32,32 32w, https:\/\/mommybites.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/09\/nemo2.jpg?resize=48,48 48w, https:\/\/mommybites.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/09\/nemo2.jpg?resize=80,80 80w, https:\/\/mommybites.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/09\/nemo2.jpg?resize=100,100 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 149px) 100vw, 149px\" \/>than the first!
