" Recently, my 8-year-old cousin told me that her school crush calls her mean names\u2014classic boy-flirting behavior. Despite his cruel insults and the fact that my cousin&amp;#039;s best friend also likes this little Lothario, she still wants to &amp;quot;go out&amp;quot; with him. That said, it quickly became clear that she&amp;#039;s not sure what doing so would involve. Upon hearing all this, I promptly sat her down for a screening of Frozen so I could teach her a valuable lesson in &amp;quot;sisters before misters&amp;quot; and why she shouldn&amp;#039;t fall for unworthy tykes. Also, I really like the movie and wanted to see it again, but that&amp;#039;s beside the point. If you&amp;#039;re trying to impart very important knowledge\u2014say, convincing your kids to bathe more or to be more creative\u2014know that there are Disney movies for that too. Use one of these flicks (or GIFs) for your next tutorial. When you&amp;#039;d like your kids to stop playing with Mommy&amp;#039;s iPad and use their imagination, turn to Woody and Buzz.    When your daughter is mortified because she forgot the steps during her dance recital and is convinced she&amp;#039;ll never recover from the humiliation, introduce her to Timon and Pumbaa&amp;#039;s comforting credo.    If you&amp;#039;re trying to get your kids to help you prep for a dinner you&amp;#039;re hosting, Beauty and the Beast&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Be Our Guest&amp;quot; sequence will surely put them in the mood.    When your son refuses to get in the car because he doesn&amp;#039;t want shots at the doctor, show him how to be Brave.    For those times when you need to teach your children about teamwork or reassure them there&amp;#039;s nothing fearsome under their beds, put on Monsters University.    If your son is feeling sad because his classmates called him &amp;quot;different,&amp;quot; make sure there are no breakables around, then queue up Wreck-It Ralph.    To get your kids pumped for their first plane ride, take them on a journey with Aladdin and Jasmine.    When you want to convince your daughter to get outside and play or... brush her hair, refer her to Rapunzel.    The next time someone tells your daughter that &amp;quot;sports are for boys&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;crafts are for girls,&amp;quot; Mulan will convince her otherwise.    And of course, if at first you don&amp;#039;t succeed, remember Nemo and just keep swimming...     Brie Schwartz is newly married to an accepting husband who encourages her to\u2014or at least lets her\u2014write about his quirky traits. They share a studio apartment in New York City, which has taught her invaluable lessons about patience and communication. Though they don&amp;#039;t have children yet, they do watch a lot of baby videos on YouTube. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
