Parenting Lessons People Could Learn From The Movie 'Room'; No. 2 Should Be Taken Seriously

The movie "Room" has gathered a lot of recognition on Feb. 28 during the 88^th Academy Awards, especially when Brie Larson won the best actress category. The movie was about a mother who has been captive in a room along with his son for seven years and those who saw it would be able to learn from the many parenting lessons it has.

According to USA Today, Academy Award-winning actress Brie Larson played the role of a mother named Ma, who suffered from depression and malnutrition after being captivated by a man who occasionally raped her for seven years and locked her in a room where she has no access to the outside world.

Here are some parenting lessons that everyone could learn from the movie:

1. Endurance: The sacrifices that Larson's character did as a parent is something that happens usually in real life. As a parent, it is a must that you stay stronger for your child in the midst of struggles. Enduring the pain for your little one is just among the characteristics that a good parent should possess in order to raise your child healthy and fearless.

2. Resourcefulness: Being a parent would require you to be resourceful for the safety and security of your child. In one of the scenes of the film, Larson's character pretended her child to be sick in order for their captivator to take him to the hospital. Although her attempt to get them out of the room was unsuccessful, she never stopped thinking of other ways for them to eventually be free.

3. Selflessness: The movie also taught that parents should think of their child's welfare first before theirs.

Brie Larson learned a lot as to what it is like to be a parent, especially when she is not even a mother yet. USA Today quoted the actress on her thoughts about parenting saying:

"I do have a little taste of an understanding of how complicated it is to be a parent. I think there's a lot of unknowns when it comes to parenting, and the idea of jumping into that world. And I personally have problems with trying to be perfect, and being devastated when I realize every day that that's not a possibility. I think that comes with parenting as well."
