Mark your calendars, parents! The beloved Heeler family is getting new episodes this January 12, 2024 on Disney+. Bluey is 2023’s most-watched TV series for preschoolers in the US and is a recommended watch for young children. The 10 new episodes will showcase the simple joy of being with family with every day activities like building a blanket fort and a trip to the beach.
Bluey is produced by Emmy-Award winning Ludo Studios for ABC Kids (Australia) and co-comissioned by ABC Children’s and BBC Studios Kids & Family. Bluey lives with her mom, dad, and younger sister Bingo.
Parents from Australia and US have sung praises for Bluey because as this article on Upworthy has put it, it's "healing their inner child". The same article quotes licensed clinical worker Jacalyn Wetzel who recommends parents to watch Bluey with their kids, especially if they're having difficulty with parenting.
"When parents of young children mention that they're struggling with being able to emotionally regulate through their child's tantrums, outside of talking to them about ways children express unmet needs, I often recommend the cartoon 'Bluey,'" says Wetzel.
"Bluey behaves very much like a typical preschooler, which sometimes means she accidentally pushes buttons or does something wrong. The way her parents interact with her in those moments are great examples of acknowledging a child's emotions and responding with kindness, understanding and age appropriate terms."
