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.

I am thrilled with this adorable new show. Its about a 6 year old little girl who runs a clinic for hurt toys and stuffed animals in her playhouse. My two little girls love it and have been playing "Doc" all week with their toys. Finally a smart little girl main character that isn't a princess or ballerina. Princesses are fine but i want my kids to get a well rounded view of things girls can be and do, and its not all about being pretty. I also really like that Doc is kind to her family and brother as opposed to some shows out right now that show brothers and sisters fighting and picking on each other. I honestly cant find one negative things to say about this show. I really hope this one sticks around on Disney Junior for a long time. Thanks Disney!

Thank you Disney, for finally making a show that features a girl who isn't a princess or a princess-in-training. Instead, this is a show about an girl (Doc) who emulates her doctor mother by being a doctor to toys and stuffed animals. This is rare in the world of kids programming. Usually girls are relegated to the role of side-kick, or there is only one girl in a crew of boys. Or if the show stars a girl, the show is about "girly" stuff which means that boys will shun it. Little girls AND little boys will like this show, and will be able to relate to a child caring for toys and fixing them. The other great thing is that the main character and her family are African American, with a mom who is a doctor and a dad who stays at home. Even today, there is a dearth of children's programming that features African Americans in the main character roles, and this show fills a dire need in kids programming. The show is well written, the actors are all good, and the story lines are interesting. Disney did a great job in creating a show with strong, interesting female characters. It's about time!

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!

My 10-month-old daughter and I absolutely love little Miss DocMcStuffins. She absolutely cannot get enough of the songs they sing or all the characters that flow through the "Doctor's Office." Truly an imaginative and thought-provoking character Disney Jr created. Finally, another great little role model for my daughter (aside from myself). What is really amazing and slightly funny is that when the theme song comes on...letting us know the "Doc is in and She'll fix you up..." our entire house stops to watch my daughter dance and clap and then we're all stuck on the TV to see what new case the Doc is going to tackle and note in her Big Book of BooBoos. Great educational programming. We love it!
