'Onesies' and 'Babyrace' are also highly emotional episodes. Onesies is, hidden for children, about the inability to conceive children, not being able to deal with your relatives' children; 'Babyrace' is about the doubt all parents have about their parenting ('You're doing great' is aimed directly at the audience)

“Camping” shows how seemingly mundane activities become fundamental family rituals, and in last 12 seconds of the episode, that time together with your kids is fleeting and almost ephemeral.

The density of emotion that is packed per minute of each episode is absurd.

Baby Race reduces me to tears every time.

Every single time

Bingo: "Are they happy tears, Mum?"

"maybe she saw something she wanted" was a gut punch of the good kind

'Chest' always hits me in the feels. Not subtle at all, but it works.

I really like the dynamic between the parents in this episode. Chilly clearly doesn’t think Bandits approach will work, but she lets him have a go.

She stays around as an advocate for the other side, without sabotaging his attempt.

Is that the episode when the kid has the phone and the parents are fighting in them background and the kids are oblivious to it but blueys dad is and makes them mute the sound? Then the other parents make peace and team up to get the phone back?

So many episodes that all have great messaging for both child and parent.

No, the episode you are referring to is called "facytime", I think.

The one I am talking about is "chest"

Please provide the Season and episode number. I would like to find them but my UI is in Spanish so it's hard to find them :(

A great deal of the show is directed at parents which accounts in no small part for its popularity. For instance, new parents who do not have much exposure to young children may find playing with their own kids to be frustrating, boring, etc. The parents in the show are excellent models for how to talk to, play, and have fun with young children

Yes, one of my surprising takeaways from this show is how many new different ways I learned to play with my children. It’s humbling to say this, but there are genuine interesting, quick, and free stuff that I learned watching Bluey. I sometimes finish an episode with my daughter and think “let me give this a try…”

It took me reading your comment to realize that Bella's "You're doing great" at the end is directed at us parents. Thanks for the unexpected tears :)

Just watched that and both of us couldn’t contain it either:)

I also have the picture book and it's even meaner there. A whole page of the mom looking directly at you! It's hard to read for bed-time :)

I cry my eyes out at those episodes every time I see them, wonderfully written episodes! (I find all the Bluey episodes are).
