On this episode Shayna and Kathy talk to Angel- a pediatric mental health expert, and Kayla- a Bluey expert, to talk about the immensely popular children's television show, Bluey. Bluey is a cartoon focusing on an anthropomorphic family of dogs. This show is beloved by children and parents alike- for good reasons! It is relatable and heartwarming and funny. We delve into some of the ways that Bluey supports healthy attachment and social-emotional development in young children.

You also get to hear Kathy snort like Daddy Pig.
