All About Feelings: Sad

With Brains On!

Brains On! is an award-winning audio show for kids and families. Each week, a different kid co-host joins Molly Bloom to find answers to fascinating questions about the world. Our mission is to encourage kids’ natural curiosity and wonder using science and history…but there’s no age limit on curiosity and episodes of Brains On can be enjoyed by anyone.

Where do feelings come from? And why do we have them? In this four-part collaboration between Brains On! and Call to Mind, we're digging deep into our emotions.

PART 2: SAD

This is the second episode in our four-part series on feelings! In this episode, we're covering the small and big parts of sadness.

We'll learn about how social animals -- from goldfish and penguins, to humans -- all seem to get sad sometimes. We'll talk about some ways to help handle sad feelings (doctor-approved pet cuddles, anyone?). And Neptune and Pluto will join us to cover a few ways to help friends or family members who are feeling blue.
