She’s an only child, and we didn’t grow up in America, so she’s a bit naive on a lot of things. Her teacher advised us the other day that she’s such a sweet girl, but middle school could be brutal for her because of that. What are some wholesome shows I can watch with her that helps her get ready for the world?

EDIT:

This is an astounding collection of shows. Thank you so much! We’ve started watching Amphibia, and really enjoying it so far. I’ll add all these to the backlog. Thanks again!

    I’m gonna suggest Owl House as a must see pick. The entire run is just so good, and hits all the right buttons for a cross generation watching. I watched it with my kid, originally reluctantly, and eventually came to love it myself.

    I’d also suggest Monster High. While it leans a little bland in terms of messaging and characters, it makes up for it by being visually fun and easy to watch in random sessions since there’s very little mandatory order to watch things in. Depending on how you view such things though, there’s the goodbad fact of there being dolls and toys linked to it.

    But both have a reliable foundation of accepting people as they are, being kind, and treating others well. There’s good conflict resolution moments, good affirmations on finding one’s authentic self, etc. I’d err on the side of Owl House being the better of the two, but monster high sometimes hits a little better for some kids
