Last week, I received an email about promoting the upcoming Disney movie, BRAVE. I've been trying to be more selective about the movies I support or recommend, and don't share with you half (maybe even 3/4ths!) of the movie promos I get emails about. I was on the fence about BRAVE because although I am dying to see it myself, I don't know if my son is old enough to see it...it might be a little too scary for him. I think my eight year old will love it, though!
And I always love movies that are based on other cultures. BRAVE is set in the beautiful highlands of Scotland. I like the fact that I can use this movie to teach my children about another culture and can cover subjects like geography, language, clothing, culture, food, customs, and more.
But this whole movie has got me to thinking about bravery; What it means to be brave, and whether or not I or my children have ever shown real bravery. I have long thought of bravery as being able to act despite one's fear. For my children, going to the doctor is one of the first things that comes to mind because they are terrified of some of the procedures they have to go through at the doctor's office, like getting their finger pricked for lab work, the occasional vaccine, and even the painful ear flushes my daughter has to endure every few years because of the excessive wax build up in her ears (yes, we do the drops, but they only work so much). I'm glad that these are the worst things my children have to endure or be afraid of. I know not everyone is so lucky, and I know that their fears are likely to grow and change as they get older.

Back to the email. What caught my eye about this particular promotion is the opportunity for my readers.
