If you have a toddler or preschooler, there's a good chance you know who Ms. Rachel is. Over the past few years, she has made quite a splash with the preschool crowd thanks to her YouTube channel, "Songs for Littles." Though she's had the channel since 2019, it has blown up in the past year, which has opened her up to a lot more online trolls and hate. Most recently, trolls tried to body-shame her, and she made it clear that she wasn't going to allow it.

She addressed the trolls on social media
She shared a video on Instagram clapping back at the body-shamers, making it clear she wasn't here for their comments. In the video, she can be seen wearing a sweater and typing on her computer.
"Finishing my second masters in education while someone comments I've gained weight and should lose weight and try to be prettier if I'm going to have a show teaching toddlers," she wrote on the video.
Ms. Rachel doesn't have time for nonsense
"Real comment I got… I have better qualifications to teach than being thin and pretty And that’s not where my value is! " she captioned the video.
You have to appreciate a woman who knows her worth!
Parents immediately showed their support
Ms. Rachel's fans are nothing but loyal, and that includes her adult fans. Several parents left comments of support on the post.
"We tolerate zero Ms Rachel slander. You’re an angel on earth!"
"Your body is nobody’s business. Thank you for teaching kids what REALLY matters – kindness, empathy, helping others, being a good human. And just know…it’s THEIR own insecurities they’re projecting on you, nothing to do with you ❤️."
"Don't play with Auntie Rachel. We gon STEP! Matter of fact, hop little bunnies hop hop hop!"
"Nobody speaks to my digital coparent like that!"
Ms. Rachel has been open about dealing with trolls on social media
Earlier this year, Ms. Rachel had to take a mental health break from social media due to receiving a lot of online hate. She never confirmed the exact reason for her break, but some speculate it was because of hate she got about her partner Jules, who uses they/them pronouns.
Now she's all about protecting herself
"The idea of protecting your peace and your heart really resonated with me," she told People this summer.
"We're kind of not meant to take in the amount of information we do online, and it changes your opinion. So I have changed the way that I interact with social media, but I think that that's healthy for everyone to have boundaries and to be aware of how your relationship with social media affects you."
