These Tween-Approved Netflix Movies Guarantee Bonding Time With Your Kid

If you have a preteen, you already know how hard it is to find family movies that they will also enjoy. After all, tweens are at that tricky, in-between age — a little too old for kids movies but not quite old enough for the more adult flicks. So when family movie night rolls around or you have to approve a movie for the all-important sleepover, you may find yourself faced with a tough task in picking a tween movie that appeals to their budding maturity that still doesn't have such adult themes that you find yourself jumping up to fast-forward through steamy or too-scary scenes.

We've rounded up a nice, diverse selection of Netflix movies in a number of genres so you and your tween can settle on something that makes everyone happy. From scary to funny to heartwarming films that may bring a tear to your eye, you can feel confident leaving your preteen and their friends in front of the screen with these tween Netflix movies that still appeal to their sensibilities.
