Welcome to the forums, Stacy! How does your daughter enjoy the show? Sounds like ABC is succeeding in appealing to families.
Thanks. Annika loves the show and understands it remarkably well for a nine year old! She is a very smart kid and enjoys the complexities. She had a great theory about last night’s episode that turned out to be incorrect, but that I thought was pretty insightful for a 3rd grader. I think I’m allowed to mention what it is since the episode has aired, but just in case
**SPOILER ALERT**
Annika’s theory was that the queen (Regina) had MM’s (Snow White’s) finger prints from fairy tale land. As it turned out, the finger prints were just there because Regina stole MM’s box, but I think Annika’s theory was a better idea;-).
On the family friendly front, I have to say yes and no. Certainly it’s great for older kids, but I think it would be too scary/complex for most kids Annika’s age. She has always grasped things like this remarkably well. My 7 to son, Charlie, would likely be frightened by the show, and would not have the patience to pick through the complexities.
I have many podcasts to listen to to catch up (just finished with “The Price of Gold”) and I’ll pop in with my own ideas once I’m caught up.
Thanks for the welcomes!
Stacey
