All About Feelings: Nervous
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.
