Channel your Inner Child with DStv and GOtv these School Holidays

With school holidays in full swing and no definite end in sight, there’s a little change in the routine in many homes right now, as we choose to do the right thing by staying indoors.

The littlies are possibly climbing the walls at this point of their ‘social distancing’ experience, and the tweens will be ‘so over’ the novelty of having their parents working from home that you will all in need an epic watch-list to keep your tweens (and yourself) busy.

Here is a round-up of the coolest March and April shows and movies that the youngsters will love, while keeping the older members of the family in touch with their inner child, too.

Problem Child 2

First released in 1991, Problem Child 2 is a timeless classic. The late John Ritter stars as a man desperate for a son to call his own. Unfortunately, he and his wife battle fertility problems. They eventually make the decision to adopt a young redhead who goes by the name of Junior and who, to put it mildly, happens to be a bit of a ‘problem child’
