As a parent I aim to seek TV and online content that stimulates our children\u2019s imagination. Parental expectations around \u2018educational\u2019 content have broadened from a focus on academic learning to also include social skills, moral values, motor skills, good basic habits and creative thinking. Disney Junior&#8217;s animated and live action programming, blends Disney&#8217;s unparalleled storytelling and beloved characters with learning components, including early language and maths skills, as well as healthy lifestyles, with an emphasis on social and emotional development.<\/p>\n<div id=\"scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:dd2d29b3-bb5a-429f-933d-ee937d0846c0\" class=\"wlWriterEditableSmartContent\" style=\"width: 448px; float: none; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding: 0px;\">\n<div><object height=\"252\" width=\"448\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/221CRhLOOu0?hl=en&amp;hd=1\"><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/221CRhLOOu0?hl=en&amp;hd=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" height=\"252\" width=\"448\"><\/object><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>So what does our 5 year old think?<br \/>\n\u201cI love it and it\u2019s the best story ever.\u201d Then asked if we could watch more and if we could download the Disney Story Central app so I\u2019ll take that as it\u2019s pretty good.<\/p>\n<p>Disney Junior The Channel is where magical storytelling comes to life!
