EVENT: Doc McStuffins Mobile Clinic Launches Health Focused Multi-City Tour

One of my daughter's favorites is Doc McStuffins (and quietly my son's too) -- new episodes start September 6.   It's one that I find myself singing along to and love the messages of take good care of yourself and that it takes some of the fear factor out of health care for my short people.

I love that it's positive, feel-good television that encourages her to feel good about herself, take care of those around her and community service.  I also love that it shows families and communities in a variety of shades and compositions and that all children, even and especially children of color in a positive light, doing good things and living lives that are similar to ours.  It's nice to see.

Catchy tunes, educational messages, positive themes that relate to our world, the ability to engage my kids and the ability to make me not feel like I want to kick myself for watching are some of the hallmarks of great children's programming, and one of our new favorites, Doc McStuffins on Disney Junior has been renewed for a second season!!! Yay!!!

The thirty-minute program features the super-adorable Doc McStuffins that runs a injured stuffed animal pet clinic in her backyard. Each episode teaches a health and compassion related theme, in a fun kid-friendly (mom-friendly too) way.

According to my six year old, "She is like me." When I asked for more details, she elaborated with "She is nice, takes care of her friends when they are hurt. And she has a brother." High praise from my Z. From my end, I love seeing a multi-racial cast, positive themes, the way they take the sting out of the doctor's office and the warm fuzzies that I feel when I hear my kids singing her peppy theme song... "The Doc is In..."

It's no wonder Doc McStuffins is the number one watched show in the 2-5 age range. Long live, the Doc!   Look for DVDs and matching fun goodies that the kids can play with in mid-August.
