NOTE TO PARENTS: This episode is very clinical and avoids explaining how the process begins, but it may invite questions about how exactly Mom and Dad "share DNA" in the first place. In today's episode, we explore why kids often have the same eyes, smile, hair color, or face shape as people in their family. We learn how DNA works like an instruction book inside your cells, how genes and chromosomes carry traits, and why your look is a one-of-a-kind mix. Curious Kids Every Day is a daily, interactive podcast that respects your child's intelligence and curiosity. Each episode is designed to stretch young attention spans with thoughtful questions, playful learning, and engaging games. I created this to be a show I would be happy to have my kids listen to.
