While we can certainly debate the pros and cons of allowing children to watch TV, the reality is that most parents let their kids have some TV time now and again. These days, one of the most popular shows among children and parents alike is the Australian animated series, Bluey! As it turns out, therapists who work with kids and their parents also love the show. So why is Bluey so darn popular with everyone and their therapist? What can parents learn from watching it, and might your kids even benefit from having a little Bluey in their lives? Child therapists Kelly Pieper, LICSW, and Miranda Barker, LICSW, join host Dr. Terri Bly to discuss the merits of this adorable little show, and to give parents some guidance on how they can make the most out of their children’s (ideally limited) screen time.  When Therapists Watch TV is a podcast from Ellie Mental Health where we react to and discuss today's buzz-worthy TV shows and what they can teach us about ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. This podcast is hosted Dr. Terri Bly, PsyD, an avid watcher of television and licensed clinical psychologist. Each season, we will feature shows we think does an excellent job portraying some aspect of being human. With the help of other mental health professionals and subject matter experts, we will explore how television tackles important topics such as mental health, relationships, addiction, grief and loss, parenting - all that good human stuff. Ellie Mental Health is an outpatient mental health clinic that began in St. Paul, Minnesota and has continued to expand to over 20 clinics in Minnesota and a growing number of franchises across the country (we'll be opening over 500 locations in communities nationwide in the near future!!).
