What are some wholesome tv shows I can watch with my 10yo daughter? (programming.dev)

She's an only child, and we didn't grow up in America, so she's a bit naive on a lot of things. Her teacher advised us the other day that she's such a sweet girl, but middle school could be brutal for her because of that. What are some wholesome shows I can watch with her that helps her get ready for the world?

EDIT:

This is an astounding collection of shows. Thank you so much! We've started watching Amphibia, and really enjoying it so far. I'll add all these to the backlog. Thanks again!

The Owl House: it deals with a teenage girl who gets stuck in a world of magic, and explores being an outcast, found family, LGBTQ+ relationships, bullying, and underdogs who save the day. Devastated that Season 3 didn't get to get fleshed out, but the creators did the best with the constraints the network placed on them. Super wholesome, 10/10 no notes.

Honourable shout out to Gravity Falls as well!

Less wholesome but still great:

Carmen Sandiego (2019): it is centred around an antihero who escapes the clutches of a criminal empire and uses their teachings to take them down. It involves geography, sensitivity of cultural norms and how they differ, found family, and drawing the distinction between intent and action to determine when it's justifiable to do things that are viewed negatively but for the right reasons. Lots of flawed characters, but nonetheless rather unique in that sense.

Loved the owl house seasons one and two! (I haven't watched season three though.)
