Happy Monday! It’s August 22, 2022 and today, we’re talking about our nerves carrying messages and whether spiders sleep at night! Come join us.

Morning Kids is a daily, five-minute educational resource that helps kids dip a toe into the world of news in an age-appropriate way. Our goal is to contextualise life for our little ones, from gently explaining something they may have heard in the news, to what feelings are and why they may be experiencing them. We’ll be expanding their worlds and exploring foreign lands together, and introducing them to animals and their body. Created in partnership with Australian primary school teachers, Morning Kids is designed to give five- to seven-year-olds a safe listening space each weekday, whether they’re listening in the car on the way to school or around the breakfast table.

August 22, 2022: We’re talking about our nerves carrying messages and whether spiders sleep at night

A quick note before we begin today's episode: This is going to be our last episode of Morning Kids for quite some time. 

We will keep working hard to see if there is a way that Morning Kids will be able to come back, but for now I must say goodbye. 

Thank you for all of your wonderful emails and messages, your great suggestions for things to learn about and of course for joining me each day. And remember, even if I don’t tell you each morning, to be silly, honest and kind.
