She’s six years old, lives in Brisbane and might just be one of the best resilience coaches on television.
We’re talking about Bluey, the animated Aussie pup whose adventures have captured the hearts of families around the world.
But as our new study reveals, Bluey isn’t just entertaining kids, she’s modelling how to to deal with life’s ups and downs.
— Researchers watched 150 episodes of Bluey – they found it can teach kids about resilience for real life
Good for them! It reminds me of when Kaitlin was little. A friend of mine said the best way to teach manners wasn’t by lectures from the parents, but to read books together which modeled good behavior. So Richard Scarry it was.
That was one of the wisest pieces of advice I ever received.

My granddaughter loves Bluey. I knew nothing about her other than she was a favorite.
The book looks familiar. I wonder if one of my kids had that one
I’ve never watched Bluey, but I had heard about it.
neither of these are familiar to me, but both are a super idea to teach kids/adults. my childhood was fairy tales, my boys did not care for books and don’t now, which is sad. there Dad was that way as is bob and my dad. no books
That is sad, I think.
…Richard Scarry’s books were always favorite in our house.
We loved them. 🙂
I think we have watched every Bluey episode at least once. It’s a wonderful show.
That’s neat!
Ian and Liam loved Bluey for several years, so I have watched it with them. 🙂
Very good
That’s neat.
I raised my kids on Richard Scarry. Did you ever do the one that had a gold bug on every page?
Don’t know Bluey.
No, I hadn’t seen that Richard Scarry, but I do have fond memories of him.
I also don’t know either of these.
🙂
Where have I been? I do not recognize either but I will definitely be looking them up on google.
🙂
The grands always loved the Richard Scarry books here too. I am a huge advocate of reading to and with kids from the time they are very small babies. So much learning comes from reading and why not start is early? Not familiar with Bluey. Maybe I need to check it out
🙂
I never heard of bluey, that’s very cool!
🙂
I’ve not heard of the Richard Scarry books, but you’ve just given me a great idea for gift-giving Penelope.
🙂
Bluey is phenomenal. And Richard Scarry books are also terrific. My grandkids and I love them equally.
🙂
Sounds like a great idea. Wish I’d learned that back in the day.
