Fancy Nancy
A bright, sparkly Disney Junior series following six-year-old Nancy Clancy, who brings imagination and a love of fancy words to everyday adventures with family and friends. Nancy sometimes acts selfishly or throws a small fit when things go her way, but the show consistently follows through with a lesson, an apology, and a warm resolution.
Comfortably suits ages 3 and up, with the most enthusiastic audience landing around 3 to 6 years old.

Episodes to know about
The very first episode establishes the show's pattern: Nancy wants things her way, acts out briefly, then is lovingly redirected and apologizes. Watching this one together gives a great template for talking about how the show handles mistakes.
