In this listener-powered episode, we answer some of the curious, clever, and thoughtful questions you've sent us! Why do kids get sick more often in winter? What exactly is celiac disease? What happens if you never brush your teeth or go to the dentist? And why do we sometimes cry or yawn in strange places—like inside a car? With clear explanations and a warm, bedtime-friendly tone, we explore the science behind everyday mysteries in a way that's easy to understand and fun to learn. Perfect for curious kids (and their grownups) who love asking why?

Sleep Tight!,
