"On this episode: Lucy Lopez, Elizabeth Newcamp, and Zak Rosen are doing a double listener question episode! First up, a parent is OVER their current television show rotation. The 'Rents give recommendations for shows in the eight-year-old to fifteen-year-old range that aren't overly preachy or totally mindless. Then, they sympathize with a parent dealing with a clingy sixteen-month-old who won't stop screaming and going full Hulk-mode every time a tiny thing goes wrong."
"They commiserate and give advice - including considering getting a second medical opinion and, maybe, just telling the kid that the yogurt bites are going in the bowl, end of discussion! Mentioned in the Show: Bluey Knows Best - Care and Feeding Common Sense Media Podcast production by Cheyna Roth. Video production by Micah Phillips."
Two listener questions receive focused responses: one requests television recommendations for children ages eight to fifteen that balance meaningful content with entertainment and avoid being preachy or mindless. The other asks for coping strategies for a clingy, screaming sixteen-month-old who becomes physically aggressive during small frustrations. Recommended approaches include empathy, clear and consistent limits, considering a second medical opinion if concerns persist, and decisive refusal to negotiate over minor items. Additional content notes include a Bluey episode recommendation, production credits, contact options for listener questions, and information about supporting the show via Slate Plus.
