+1. I think Bluey is great for parents, but I can think of many shows that are better for children. Better in the sense that they teach children how to deal with challenges at their age and how to navigate the world around them.

- Cyph0n 2y agoIt depends on age, but almost anything by PBS Kids is excellent. Prime and Netflix have a few good ones too. Some good shows I found for my son: * Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood - spiritual spinoff from Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood * Elinor Wonders Why * Word World * Peg + Cat * Numberblocks and Alphablocks for learning about numbers and words * Guess How Much I Love You * Trash Truck * Hero Elementary * Mecha Builders * Stillwater * Sid the Science Kid
- relaxing 2y agoNumberblocks goes hard in the later seasons, but sadly Netflix no longer has those. I really enjoyed the adaptation of El Deafo on AppleTV. Its brilliant use of audio effects to explain the evolving technology of the little girl’s hearing aids had me in tears.
- youainti 2y agoColourblocks is another great one from the BBC. The two things I really like about CB and NB is that 1. they are designed to be part of a curriculum and so they build across episodes. 2. Every so often the songwriters decide to remind you that they are capable and not just ripping off old songs like other shows do.
- mcphage 2y agoI do like the Stillwater show, but I am still disappointed that they replaced the Zen and eastern stories from the books with more generic western tales.
