Doc McStuffins

It is hard not to love Doc McStuffins. As far as children's TV shows go this is at the front of the pack. Not only is it adorable and cute it is also intelligent, educational and sends a message. While I have nothing against little girls wanting to be princesses, it is important that they see they can do anything they want in life.

Doc is generous and caring and loves her family and friends. Instead of behaving like a spoilt or obnoxious child she teaches children to be respectful, tolerant and kind-hearted. She has great role models in her parents who teach her that brains and heart are just as important as beauty.

Children and adults alike can enjoy Doc McStuffins. It is truly brilliant work from the team at Disney.

Disney has finally created a program that I will encourage my children to watch. No princesses, just a smart and imaginative girl who can be a positive role model. I am a mom of 4 bright multi-racial children. I am also an early childhood special educator. My six year old daughter is on the autism spectrum, and she has talked about becoming a doctor since she was four years old. She has the lab coat etc, and much like the character in the show, she pretends to "heal" her toys.

Considering the overwhelming amount of biased attention young girls in our culture receive, it is heartening to know that Disney is willing to scratch beneath the surface. The great majority of young girls of color are just as smart and imaginative as "Doc Mc Stuffins." Now my daughter and her friends can finally see themselves reflected back to them in a loving and respectful light.

Kudos to Disney!

Disney has been doing a great job with their new characters in the past few years--Doc, Sofia, Miles, etc. I love how Doc is so smart, so very sweet and friendly, and she makes me wish that I had taken such good care of my own toys when I was young. And unlike animation from the years that I was growing up, both children and adults are actually being taught something now, which makes watching cartoons no longer a waste of time or just junk TV that parents won't like. I hope the Doc McStuffins series lasts for a good few years more--Doc and all of her little friends are just wonderful, and it's so nice to see that practically all of the children who watch have embraced her.

This is one of the best shows out there for young kids. It promotes kindness, imagination and ambition... It's also just fun to watch.

Doc is always teaching her friends to look out for one another and to be conscious of the feelings and emotions of others. This is such an important lesson to teach kids.

Doc brings her toys to life and treats their illnesses. Through this process, the show teaches kids about how to deal with problems they face in life, e.g. feeling left out, seeing a loved one sick, being afraid of the dark, being different, etc.

This show promotes imaginative play; my daughter will play doctors with her toys for hours because of this show.

It's also so good to see a show that has such a smart female young character for girls to idolise.

Such a clever show. Even Daddy and Mummy enjoy this one.

My daughter and I watched it together for the first time a few days ago. Let me just say WE LOVE IT!!!

The show is phenomenal. Not only did it hold my daughter's attention but it held my attention as well. A rare occurrence in the line up of children's shows nowadays.

Doc McStuffins is a friendly and imaginative persona. We love that she is smart and that her worth is not valued in looks. I love the positive message she sends to all young girls.

We really need but are lacking more positive message kid shows like this one.

Thanks Disney for giving us another positive non-Barbie role model character!
