Films teach children how to be human — not because someone told them to pay attention, but because they couldn't look away.

The Guided Growth Project builds curriculum around Feature Films for Families — a library of character-rich films that have been bringing families together for over 30 years.

Our programs are grounded in the neuroscience of how children actually learn empathy: through watching characters navigate real moral choices, and then talking about what they saw.

Every program is built around a film your child can watch free on YouTube. The curriculum is the experience — five days of discussion, reflection, and challenge designed to build the social and emotional skills that last a lifetime.

This channel is for parents and teachers who believe that the stories we give children matter — and that a good conversation after a good film might be one of the most powerful things we can do.
