DVD Rental for Kids

DVD Rental for Kids

There are two possible (or at least two major) interpretations of the headline above: that this article will be about getting DVD rental from which kids can benefit and that this article will be so simplistic in its explanation of DVD rental that even a child could understand it.

Actually, both interpretations are correct. I will turn to the first one first: that DVD rental is ideal for kids.

There are a few problems with this statement which may not be immediately obvious.

The reasons that make DVD rental suitable for children, on the other hand, are eminently obvious. They are those that make it suitable for pretty much anyone else.

Namely, that a rental service is cheaper than shelling out for DVDs or blu ray discs, probably much more convenient and includes extras such as discounts on other services and game rental.

The DVD rental free trial, long a money-saving tool for many scrimpers and savers, is also a distinctive draw to the sector and, again, it hardly matter whether we're talking about adults or kids in this context.

This is all well and good. Still, as previously mentioned, there are two main problems with dvd rental for kids.

First, since we're discussing online DVD rental sites here, giving kids access inevitably needs them to get onto the internet where all sorts of nasties lurk.

Luckily, some sites already offer parental controls on DVD rental services which, for example, hides the adult selection of films for rent. Consult a good review site to see which sites do this.

The problem can also be solved by supervising children when they use the sites.

Second, DVD rental might not to be suitable for kids for the same reasons that excessive TV watching is not suitable for them, that it discourages exercise and takes away time that they could be using to interact with their peers which is one of the best ways for children to learn.

The same precautions that apply with TV should apply to DVD rental, however, and those are up to parents to decide.

In any case, as I will go on to say, the benefits could potentially outweigh these issues.

Educational films are often much more expensive to buy than normal children's films and could benefit kids significantly. For example, DVDs that help children to learn makaton - kids' sign language - could help them to communicate with other better.

To go onto the second part of the title of this article, finally, renting from an online site requires minimum commitment, minimum money, compared with high street rental, and offers huge choice.

In short, it's childs' play.
