However, adoption can be a tricky subject to explain to kids. Our five year old still does not fully "get" the difference between his birth story and that of his cousins. Truth be told, he just doesn't care. Sure he likes celebrating gotcha day and adoption day. He loves the extra attention and presents. But that is the extent of it. Someday he might show more interest. Until then, we try to talk about it as he is interested before Star Wars or dinosaurs catch his attention and he is off again.
I was so pleased when this week we saw Doc McStuffin's family was adopting a baby. I was also so excited with kiddo turned to me and said, "that is just like me." We are anxiously counting down the days until March 4 when the first of four episodes will air.
Doc McStuffins always has dealt with issues kiddo is going through with such compassion and understanding that I have great hopes for this series. (The episode on losing teeth was so helpful right before kiddo lost his first tooth.)
Per Disney's Press Release, here is an episode guide.
