Babyrace Episode

In the episode called Baby race we follow Chile (mom) as she tells the story of Bluey growing in her infant months. Chile is in a mother’s group and was getting very discouraged because the other mom's children were learning to crawl and walk before Bluey. Chile started reading all the parenting books, asking their doctor, and just trying to figure out why Bluey was not progressing as quickly as the other babies. Chile felt as though she was doing something wrong as the parent. It wasn't until one of the other mothers in the group came to visit Chile and reassured her that she is “doing great.” I can see how this speaks to mothers. My wife has said that she has felt the same way Chile does in this episode. Having that "What am I doing wrong?" feeling. I love how it instills the "You are doing great" message as well as telling parents that all babies are different, and they will progress at different rates. And most importantly to not compare your children with other children.
