Talking to kids about disability can feel tricky, but it's a conversation that helps build empathy, understanding, and inclusivity from a young age. This week, Kee and Kelly are joined by Peta Hooke, host of 'The I Can’t Stand Podcast' and self-described as "your friendly girl next door who has a disability." Peta shares her insights and practical advice for answering those big questions kids have and explains why normalising conversations around disability is key to raising kinder, more aware kids.
