Daughter in tears because it’s ended.

[Ridiculousbutreal]

Just found dd 12 sobbing in her bedroom telling me she’s lonely and all her favourite tv programmes and YouTube favourites have finished. I would usually tell her to get a grip but I know it’s her way of reacting right now and so I’m taking her tears seriously.

She’s a huge fan of Ariana Grande so loved Sam and Cat. She’s also loved watching Xfactor and also Dancing Mums on YouTube (she’s a massive dance fan).

Anything else I can introduce her to - similar kinds of things. Either tv or YouTube. She often gets attached to a character and I think she’s just struggling with no role model on tv and never seeing her friends at the moment.

Any ideas for me to cheer her up? I do understand - I used to adore Fame and looked forward to the new episode every single week 😁

Merlin on Netflix

I loved the Greatest Dancer on BBC1 and I'm old! Did she see it? It was lovely.

What about the film Flashdance? Another favourite of mine about a dancer.

[CrystalMaisie]

I watched Anne with an E and Gilmore Girls On Netflix with my young teens, lots of seasons to go through.

Merlin on Netflix

Yes, Merlin is amazing. I didn't know it was on Netflix but have seen it has been on TV recently.

Does your daughter enjoy drama series?

[RJnomore1]

Would she like the masked singer?

[VimFuego101]

Glee?

[InglouriousBasterd]

Icarly? And Victorious? Both Sam and Cat come from those shows. Otherwise Gilmore Girls?

[Zombiemama]

Victorious on Netflix has Adrian Grande as Cat also. I think it's set before Sam and Cat

[Zombiemama]

Ariana autocorrect fail there

[Sunplanetearth8]

What about Enola Holmes? That was really good on Netflix.

[Alice0901]

Dancing on Ice is starting tomorrow x

[Violetparis]

Has she watched Victorious with Ariana Grande in ? My daughter liked I Carly, Austin & Ally, Good Luck Charlie at the age of 12.

[SMabbutt]

The next step is something my teenage dancing daughter liked. More the early series than the later ones though she still watched them all.

[Petalpup]

On pointe on Disney?
Dancing on ice is back tomorrow

@Ridiculousbutreal Recommendations from another huge fan of Sam and Cat:

iCarly
Victorious (Ariana Grande in it too)
Jessie
Bunkd
Suite life of Zach and Cody
Henry Danger
Umbrella Academy (rated 15 so have a look first!)

[Belindapotsandpans]

Hannah Montana on Disney plus if you have it?

[Bohoboo]

Find me in Paris is a ballet school based time travelling series on cbbc that both my dds 13 and 11 like lots

[FTMF30]

The Voice, Dancing on Ice, Strictly Come Dancing might be available on iPlayer . Thay had a couple of very young contestants this year so it might appeal to her.

[Nutrigrainygoodness]

Has she watched Victorious?
Alexa and Katie on Netflix (not singing/dancing) but a good show- me and dd have watched a season in the last 2 days 😳.
The next step on BBC/Netflix
Backstage- dd says that's on sky somewhere (she's very helpful) 😂

[DesdemonaDryEyes]

Any of the old stuff around? Hannah Montana? High School Musical. The Narnia stuff?

[Catty1720]

Glow up is good it’s make up artists competing but this may be abit too old for her so you might want to check first like X factor but make up I watched it with my niece (13 yrs old)then we did the creative challenge afterwards mood boards and make up sorry if it’s not what you were thinking

[Therarestone]

Gilmore girls on netflix, pretty little liars on iplayer

[HadEnoughOfBears]

The Next Step
Wizards of Waverley Place
ICarly

[Galaxyofstars]

There's are lots of old series of American Idol - generally packed with really talented singers and lots of musical genres. So many famous singers started there.

[Aurelia1313]

I'm not familiar with those shows because apparently I'm old now (lol) but what about joining a fan forum online if she's lonely? She can post about her favourite shows or if she's arty make some fan art or something to help keep her busy.
