The “We’re All in This Together” interstitial series is designed to demonstrate for viewers age 6–14 that they are not alone in this experience—and, of course, that we are all in this together (#WAITT). Disney Channel consulted with media, education, and child psychology expert Dr. Arthur Pober Ed.D. to ensure relevant and sensitive messaging for the Kids 6–14 demographic.
