Journal d'une future présidente

Entertaining for sure...for me. An adult. However, having a 9 year old daughter, I expected not to have to filter the word a$$ out of a Disney show, nor think about not only explaining 2nd base...or having it displayed with a bra on a pillow (luckily my daughter missed that portion of the episode) and we shut down the show for her just after. Bra's and periods are subject matters we have discussed, as we are a pretty open family, but she IS still 9... and while she knows and has heard adult language (as it exists in the world) it is...ADULT language. I had been excited for the woman empowerment aspect as this was supposed to follow the young girl to her journey to presidency...and I personally will watch it, but disappointed that my daughter will not get to enjoy it.

I don't think this show is rated correctly but I do love the characters and I love how it's based on a diary of a middle school girl who will become President. It feels like degrassi but on Disney channel. They only thing I'm a little annoyed by is how many storylines are happening. I can't keep up and it is sometimes exhausting. But overall it's good.

I lol'd at the person who said this show is entitled because a middle schooler wants to be president? Glad they tell their children to aim low??

That aside, this show has a pretty cute premise and competing writing. It's pretty accurate to today's middle schooler and just that knowledge alone should be enough to say this isn't Barney for 2 year olds. General age of 8+ I'd say.

Watched the first 3 episodes, and I gotta say the other reviews are very over dramatic. Similar to our main character. Yes the show is somewhat adult, but it talks about real issues that your modern middle schooler will face. I would greatly advise if you're going to sit and watch this as a family you do so with your kids when they are target age group, that being 11-13 years old. Also this show offers great representation to my fellow Hispanic and colored community. Even if the dialogue at times can be somewhat dorky, the show is fine, it's nowhere not the level of The Color of Friendship or even Girl Meets World, but it's fine; it's harmless and relevant.

Disney shows have never shyed away from tough topics. Lizzie McGuire and Hannah Montana both talked about bras. Lizzie also talked about eating disorders. That's So Raven tackled racism. Smart Guy took on child predators. And so on, and so forth. Why are people only mad when it comes to talking about being gay or having your period?
