Kids & Family · The Conversation

A kid points at a tree and says, “What is that?” and suddenly you're talking about pollination, fungi, water, carbon, and how a forest quietly runs like a living system. We head to Millbrook Elementary School for a hands-on walk with grade three classes, turning a simple outdoor classroom tour into a practical lesson in forest ecology and Ontario nature.We start with trees you can name right away and the surprising details most people miss: why many apple trees need pollen from a different apple variety, how bees and wind move pollen, and why corn is planted the way it is. From there we get into syrup season science, including the real sap-to-syrup ratios for maple and birch, and how those numbers connect to effort, price, and what it means to harvest responsibly.The forest floor opens up bigger conversations. We touch on acid rain and Sudbury's history, why limestone can help neutralise acidic lakes, and how environmental damage shows up in rocks, water, and wildlife. Then we explore everyday plants with real uses, including dandelion, plantain, stinging nettle, cattails, and sumac. That naturally leads to mushrooms, chaga on birch, what mycelium is, and the “secret language of trees” idea of underground fungal networks connecting plants.We also talk practical outdoor tools and observations, from bird ID apps to why stormwater ponds use fountains to reduce mosquito breeding, plus what woodpeckers are really doing when they hammer on trees and even houses. If you care about outdoor education, nature literacy, conservation, foraging awareness, and the science of forest health, this is a rich listen that stays clear and grounded.Subscribe so you don't miss the next walk under the canopy, and if this helped you see the woods differently, share it with a friend and leave a review. What's one “common” plant or tree you want to understand better?

We've had some fantastic questions sent in by listeners around the world and now we're back with a second season of The Conversation's Curious Kids! And we're beaming at being named Best Kids podcast at the British Podcast Awards 2025 too.Each episode, a curious kid joins host Eloise to ask a top researcher their burning question, such as: why do your fingers and toes go wrinkly in the bath? Why our taste in food changes as we get older? How high can volcanoes actually send molten lava up into the air?New episodes from June 9th.A podcast from The Conversation, the independent not-for-profit news organisationthat brings you news straight from academic experts.This season is supported by the University of Southampton in the UK, a world-leading research-intensive university with a global network of international students and campuses in Malaysia and Delhi.

In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch step into one of the most common and uncomfortable parenting conversations: How do we explain where babies come from without confusing or misleading our kids? The discussion is sparked by a popular podcast moment in which a celebrity mom offers a simple explanation: "When two people love each other enough, their love gets them a baby." While well-intentioned, Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore why answers like this, though emotionally appealing, can quietly create confusion or misunderstanding in a child's mind. Using a memorable ice-skating analogy, the episode acknowledges how slippery these conversations can feel for parents. But avoiding them doesn't make kids safer; it just sends them elsewhere for answers. Dr. Kathy explains why parents must be the trusted authority on questions about bodies, intimacy, and life, and why clarity matters even when the details are age-appropriate and gradual. Rooted in Psalm 139, the episode reassures parents that a child's worth is never defined by how they were conceived, but by who created them. When kids eventually learn the fuller story of biology, relationships, or even painful family circumstances, honest foundations help them feel secure rather than misled. Wayne and Dr. Kathy encourage parents to speak the truth with care, to name body parts accurately, to explain intimacy appropriately, and to always frame life as something intentionally crafted by God. Kids can handle reality when it's delivered with love, wisdom, and patience. This episode equips parents to step onto the ice with confidence, helping their children grow in understanding without fear, and letting truth become a bright light that cuts through confusion later in life.

On this episode, Jed welcomes author and neuroscientist Gail Martino, whose new picture book "Feathered and Famous: Meet America's All Star Birds" celebrates the national and state birds of the United States and the stories behind them. Gail explains how her book helps kids (and parents) discover the unique traits that made each bird worthy of representing a state—from the clever chickadee of Massachusetts, which actually grows part of its brain in the fall to help remember where it hid seeds, to the hopeful, homey robin of Connecticut, often seen as a harbinger of spring. She also describes the engineering genius of birds' nests, like robins using mud as "mortar" and the Baltimore oriole's swinging, sock‑like nest that can withstand strong winds. Gail shares how her father's backyard bird feeder sparked her curiosity as a child, eventually leading her into a career in neuroscience, product development, and innovation consulting—and now to writing books that connect kids to nature, geography, history, and STEM skills. She talks about the importance of teaching kids to observe the world, balancing screen time with real‑world curiosity, and using tools like eBird and Merlin to make birding fun and interactive for families. She also highlights how many state birds, like the brown pelican of Louisiana, have become powerful symbols of conservation success. Later in the episode, Jed chats briefly with author Jill Esbaum about her playful new picture book "Stink Bird Has a Superpower", a story inspired by the wonderfully weird hoatzin of the Amazon and Jill's passion for helping kids discover that everyone has a superpower.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I get to hang out with Deborah Farmer Kris, who is a child development expert and the author of Raising Awe-Seekers: How the Science of Wonder Helps Our Kids Thrive, the I See You board book series, and the All The Time picture book series. Her bylines include CNN, PBS Kids, NPR's Mind Shift, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe magazine, and Oprah Daily. She's currently an expert advisor for the PBS kids show Carl the Collector and spent 20 plus years as a K to 12 educator. Mostly she loves sharing nuggets of practical wisdom that can make the parenting journey a little easier. I loved hanging out with Deborah and it's such a rich conversation because awe is something that I don't think we talk enough about. The power of awe for us is huge for our mental health, and we can do so many things in the every day to find awe, and to raise tiny humans who are awe seekers. All right, folks. Let's dive in.

In this eye-opening episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty dives deep into the worlds of creativity, culture, and technology with two remarkable guests who are changing how we think about children's education and entertainment. First up, animation director Trevor Lai shares fascinating insights into the delicate balance between artificial intelligence and human imagination. As the creator of Super Boomi and the tabletop game Paw Sum, Trevor emphasizes the critical importance of teaching kids to be creators, not just consumers. He warns against over-relying on AI while acknowledging its potential as a powerful tool for learning and creativity. The conversation takes an exciting turn with Windy Pham, founder of Little Ant World, who is on a mission to preserve Vietnamese culture through children's books. Her journey from corporate professional to author highlights the power of passion and cultural representation. Windy's books not only teach Vietnamese traditions but also create bridges of understanding between different communities. Both guests share a common message: technology should enhance, not replace, human creativity. They stress the importance of hands-on learning, reading together, and encouraging children to use their imaginations. From drawing dinosaurs to celebrating Lunar New Year, these creators show how books and interactive experiences can spark joy and curiosity in children. Key takeaways for parents include:     Limit screen time and encourage creative play     Use technology as a tool, not a replacement for imagination     Explore diverse books that represent different cultures     Engage with your children through reading and interactive activities Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply curious about raising creative kids in a digital world, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration. It's a reminder that the most powerful technology can't replace the magic of human connection, creativity, and storytelling.
