A lot happened in this episode but it's safe to say that little girl reuniting with her dad meant everything! Such a wholesome moment, we know how happy it makes the lifeguards too 😌
When the little girls dad explained how relieved he was because he thought she might have went in the water and you can see it in his face.. she means the world to him 😌
H's laughter after him saying "danger" in Chinese has me in fits. It's so hilarious but also heartwarming that the lifeguards will do anything to help people. I know it's their job but still.
H reminds me of my own grandpa, he’s just short fused if people haven’t listened to his advice. But he only is grumpy because he truly cares really deep down and it hits him when this sort of situations happen. His aura is amazing as you can see him with that’s kid. They didn’t speak the same language , but both of them understood each other and worked together, and at the end that boy trusted a man who he couldn’t understand
@@btchplz5352 yep. I see both my Grandpa, my dad, my husband and my uncles in him. And not just because all but two are New South Welshmen. It's rare that they go off at you and if they do it's because you scared them to death. Hard when he needs to be but gentle, understanding and with a big smile. What else could you want in a man.
It's wonderful to think that because of Terry's rescues, there are thousands of people still here today. Thank you Terry for your service, you will be missed. 💙🤍 *Rest in Peace* 🕊️
@@btchplz5352 Did he die? 😢if so my condolences are with the lifeguard team and his family. He was genuinely one of my favourite lifeguards to watch on the show and I will greatly miss him
The fact that Jeremy was on his first time at bondi and he got a major head wound he still kept smiling through the pain, this is the definition of bravery
I love H. He comes across as gruff but he's a big soft teddy bear. When he was getting that little boy to calm down and breathe in and out by using really exaggerated motions so he could understand it made me smile. He's the definition of tough love because he really cares for people. Plus his joy learning the Mandarin word for 'danger' was so funny! His laugh was like a mad man 😂
"We're big boys. We don't need to cry".. I said it before and I'll say it again: 👏 it's ok for boys/men to cry and to show emotions 👏.. Time to lose the "men don't cry" mentality daddio! 😅😅
yeah, I've never been got by one but my uncle lives on Bondi Junction and he always avoids the beach on bluebottle days because he doesn't want to be stung again. However, the father could be trying to calm the kid down and control his breathing. I do agree that men should be allowed to cry though.
Unfortunately it's a huge part of some cultures. All we can hope is that when those older generations have passed, their children realize how harmful that rhetoric is, and treat their future children different. I think that comes with exploring the world and having connections and communication with different walks of life. A lot of the older generations have just always been where they are and don't welcome anything new, which can be harmful. There's a difference between perserving your traditions and laying to rest ones that hinder more than bring comfort and appreciation.
If you understand Chinese, the guy is actually being hella toxic at 14:40. Not just because of the ‘stop crying, boys don’t cry’ garbage he’s spouting, but also because he’s essentially saying here, “Are you just crying yourself into this state or are you really in pain???” (as if he thinks the boy’s faking it). It’s way more dismissive and invalidating than the subtitle conveys. Heartbreaking :-(
Both adults were so invalidating and unempathetic, it was hard to watch. Yes, anxiety and fear can manifest as physical symptoms, e.g. stomach aches, especially in children. They were pretty much accusing the children of faking symptoms.
That’s sad. Adults too often reduce and demean kids’ distress when they (we) should validate it and help them cope with the overwhelming emotions they’re feeling. Pain is scary! It’s okay to cry when you’re scared.
It's very upsetting when parents ignore the feelings of a young child being in pain and fear, but as an Asian I admit this is really common. Some Asian parents worry that if they spoil their child too much, the child will be weak. I've been treated the same way and know that I've become stronger and colder at the same time. It was a bittersweet experience that had pros and cons. But if the day I had children of my own, I was sane enough not to treat them the way my parents did.
Bless H. He was a little miffed when the boy went into the water even after he told him not to, but when he figured out the kid doesn't speak English he went on full Dad mode and found a way to communicate even with the language barrier.
It would be a good idea to make a card with information about what happens when you get stung by a bluebottle. Just 6 simple drawings and 6 sentences would be enough to explain it. Make them in 50 languages with that countries flag on the corner and put them in a box and people can easily find the information in their own language. I'm from the Netherlands and less than 25 milion people can understand Dutch. Although Dutch people are known for their good English and how most also learned German and French, it still will be a struggle to explain medical information to a foreigner who's panicking. So at touristic places you can often find plastified papers with the information in a lot of different languages.
Not the woman Sally coming over to translate and telling them, "it's not that bad" the complete opposite of what the lifeguards probably wanted her to convey 😂
Sending blessings and good vibes to all of Bondi! ❤️❤️ Love to see the grown men like daddy saying, "we are men we don't cry! Does it even hurt?" get stung by a blue bottle so we can watch the look of unbelievable pain on their face.
how do lifeguards keep up with all this, they are heroes. 1 head injury, 1 spinal, 1 person in a rift, and on top of that 2 busloads of bluebottle stings. and 1 lost child, i think being a lifeguard at Bondi beach is not easy
I love how calm Terry is...(I hope my spelling is correct)..of course it is part of the job but the others, concern is seen in their eyes but with Terry, he is so calm and it extends to the rest of the team...
That lost kid bring back a memory of mine when I was 5 going shopping with my Nan and younger brother in a town called Banbury, while we were in a shop me and my brother used to play hide and seek, but this one time I couldn’t find my nan or brother and I thought they had left me, I started to panic (just like this little girl) so I walked back to my nans house thinking they would be there in the meantime my Nan got my dad out of work (he had a shop in town) and they called the police trying to find me, I just waited by my nans front door, that was 45 years ago, seems quite funny now but at the time was quiet scary for both child and parent just like this girl and father.
Loved seeing Tamika,hope she learnt a lot from the best and that she is still a lifegaurd. Loved that the father was reunited with the daughter and the way Terry treat the little girl,you csn tell he was a father.Loved how H man helped the boy get through his pain.Harries helping Tanika was great also,i wonder what happened to her?
I want to go to Bondi so bad but with 7 disslocated left shoulder I would only cause trouble, this is as close I can ever get :( , great work and you have a fellow Canadian viewer for life.
welcome to Australia :) You gotta love blue bottle season. Personally I like when tourists are happy.. but i also love when they cry.. at least they got the full experience and leave with a story.
Remember sweetheart, Daddy came running for you and was desperately searching for you. If you ever feel like your Dad doesn't care in the future, remember this moment.
Wow, my name was on Bondi Rescue! Don’t worry it wasn’t me being hurt and I hope Georgia recovers well! Great job with everyone treating everyone today! Tamika (I hope I spelt it right) did so good as she didn’t have a lot of experience. I could never see someone in such a horrible state.
I love how the first guys it the head wound was very kind and positive about it he was just like "well you can't avoid it! Ill be alright just a couple stitches!"
When I visited friends in Perth, the first day there they took me to the local aquarium to find out all about the things that could hurt me in the water. Yes, I dipped my toes in the Indian Ocean, but that was as much as I was willing to do! So glad they were smart enough to make sure I was educated on the dangers! Bondi lifeguards do an amazing job!
You are all amazing lifeguards thank you for everything you do to help people and to help keep everyone safe in and out of the water stay safe all of you and you are all angels
I think the dad was telling his son not to cry because sometimes kids will cry and freak themselves out even if they're not really hurting. But I'm also of the mind that it is okay for men and boys to cry. It's not a sign of weakness and crying is like puking in that your body releases chemicals when it's over that make you feel better~
Annoys me when parents don't take their kids pain seriously :( like what if their stomach pain was something serious and the parents assumed the other child hit him
I think that all of the heartless parents, who mock their children's pain, should be wrapped up in a few blue bottles themselves. That would cause a very sweet attitude adjustment!
