I think Disney was trying to do too many things with this show. They tried to touch on too many things without going into detail.
One episode I thats stands out was where Sydney got her first period, and they told the audience what to do when you get your period but not what a period is. I'm not at all saying the show should be a child's health class, but they dropped the ball with that episode for sure.
There was another episode where Syd wanted to shave her legs for a party over the summer, but didn't know how. So her dad tried to shave his own legs and cut himself everywhere in the process. This was meant to be a joke, but I think it would scare kids to think they would hurt themselves shaving when in reality you can really only cut around your ankles and knees while shaving.
My last critique is that Sydney always gets what she wants in the end. Every episode went "Sdy wants something, something stops her from getting that said thing, Syd finds a way to get what she wanted" and throw in a flashback or two. So after the first season the episodes started to get really repetitive.
It's definitely a better show then most Disney has made recently, but it's not without its flaws. I think someone in the intended age group would enjoy the show more then I did, but I still think it was an ok show.
