My only problem with Bluey is actually a problem with the Disney+ app on my Vizio TV. The episodes are all fairly short, but then there’s like 5m of credits before the next episode starts and it’s kind of annoying to manually fast forward through them via remote. I often reach for stuff on Netflix just so the next episode will auto play after a few seconds instead of requiring actual manual intervention to keep the little ones out of my hair while making dinner.

As a parent I like it.

It’s just enough time for my kiddo to learn the value of patience. But not so long, that I need to fast forward.

My four year old already knows how to use the remote to skip commercials and credits, turn the tv on himself, and find what he wants.

Hasn’t figured out the voice controlled outlet the TV is plugged into yet.

do we assign too much meaning and value to every child interaction?
Not really possible. Children are sponges, learning everything they will carry into adulthood from childhood say six through twelve. After that, good luck.

Any veteran parent can give many examples of early interactions that ended up molding their children forever.

Do you have kids yourself?
Kids are not supposed to binge watch content.
Instant gratification or bust!
