What makes it work for me and makes it a little bit easier is finding the right subject matter. It’s always coming back to real life. It’s coming back to something that happens in real life something that I know kids are interested in, or that kids are bothered by. Or, it could be helpful to their families.
Head lice there aren’t many shows that will deal with head lice in a humorous and educational and entertaining way for children and families. But I like taking on subject matter like that. We’re working on a show right now for next season about peanut allergies. It may sound like small thing, but it’s something that a lot of parents are very concerned about and a lot of kids have to deal with in their lives every day. I get these things suggested to me. You hear it often enough, and you understand that there is a real need for this subject to be dealt with in a helpful way.
