We're talking spiders today with arachnologist Catherine Scott.

Hi Everyone - it's August in Albumen and the Eggs are getting ready for their annual camping trip. As usual, Benedict is causing issues and forgetting to use his manners. With some help from his friends, however, he finally learns how to be a Good Egg. We hope that our kids use their at home, but especially when we're not around. Modeling this is important, as we know, because our kids will imitate our actions. This is the last episode in book 1. We have covered 12 virtues in this series. I will be taking a short summer break and be back in September as we start book 2, The Good Eggs Travel the World.  Adventure awaits as the Eggs see sights and meet new people, along with learning about diversity throughout the world. It's a ton of fun! See you then! Have a fantastic summer!...moreCopy Link

A lot of us are angry right now, with good reason. We’re seeing people treated unfairly because of racism -- that’s when people don’t like someone’s race or the color of their skin.In this episode we’ll talk about how anger can be a useful emotion and can be used to push for change. We’ll also revisit parts of our 2019 series on emotions, including an explanation of the hormones behind anger, why some of us are quicker to anger than others and what we can do when we feel overwhelmed by our feelings. Plus, our Moment of Um tackles the question, “What happens when lightning strikes water?” If you want to talk to your kids about race but don’t know where to start, we suggest reading this article (https://bit.ly/3eEss5k) by pediatricians Dr. Jacqueline Dougé, & Dr. Ashaunta Anderson or Talking to Kids About Race by Heather Greenwood Davis (https://on.natgeo.com/306a2Xe).There are great books to help your family start a conversation about race. Here's a list from Embrace Race (https://bit.ly/2U1SvLV).

Today, we have Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Maryanne Tranter back on with us to talk about ANXIETY and STRESS: what it is, what are the signs, what happens inside our bodies when we are stressed, and what are some ways kids can help themselves deal with it. This was great information that I was able to use to help reduce my stress level, and ANYONE can do it! Also in this episode, Chuck Darwin also tells us the definition of Hormone, Captain Jack answers a listener's question about signs your dog might be stressed or anxious,  and Tito tells us which animals are the most stressed out on Earth. I thought it would be Skinny Pigs by the way Edgar and Clarice sometimes behave, but surprisingly, it's not. It might not be who you think it is, either!Links for this show:https://www.maryannetranter.com/Website: https://www.weirdandwackyplanet.com/FaceBook: https://facebook.com/weirdandwackyplanetInstagram: https://instagram.com/weirdandwackyplanetTwitter: https://twitter.com/kbcarrauthoremail:  naturejustgotreal@gmail.comGet the Weird & Wacky Planet series: https://www.amazon.com/K-B-Carr/e/B00XIZ9ASWGet a FREE ebook: https://www.weirdandwackyplanet.com/free-bookShop the Weird & Wacky Planet Store: https://www.weirdandwackyplanet.com/store...moreCopy Link

Once upon a time, there was a girl who always aimed high—and inspired others to do the same. Her name was Michelle. When Michelle was a little girl living on the Southside of Chicago, her mother always told her: “If it can be done, you can do it.” Though often full of self-doubt, Michelle was so smart and hardworking, that she skipped second grade, and in middle school, she graduated second in her class. She went on to study law at Harvard and eventually became the first Black First Lady of the United States. Now an author, mother, and lawyer, Michelle Obama is everything the younger version of herself dreamt of becoming.About the Narrator: Pearl Thusi is a South African actress, model, television host, and radio personality.
