Bluey is such a fantastic show.

While we’re on the topic of series that are good for kids’ resiliency, I’d like to give a shout out to the Pete the Cat books. He doesn’t let minor things get him down, and whether it’s mud on his new shoes or buttons flying off his clothes, he handles things with a cool, calm nature. Nothing rattles Pete the Cat.

When my son was small, I think I probably had every Pete the Cat book. Such an amazing series, I'm glad you mentioned it.

They're great first time reader books too!

That's great, my kid watch Cailloi and that show turned him into a brat. We had to stop letting him watch that show. Once I started to pay attention I realized that show gave kids bad habits. That character was spoiled.

Luckily my boys hated that whiney little shit. Even they picked up that he was annoying and bad.
