Short & Curly ABC listen

Our parents have their own beliefs, and they'll often try to teach us to have the same.

Must we believe what our parents believe? Is it disrespectful to question it?

A big thank you to Hazel for this curly question!

You get an award at school, your dog learns a new trick, or your mum lands a great job – they're all moments we can be proud of.

When that pride swells inside, it makes us want to tell the whole world!

But is it being proud of yourself or just showing off? What's the difference?

There's nothing like munching on your favourite snacks and watching all your favourite shows and movies. You're not making lots of noise or bothering anyone too.

So, why can't you watch TV all day?

Thank you to Amelia and Evie for the great question!

We see advertisements all the time. There are companies that say their yoghurt can make us smarter or their pillows will help us sleep better. Some even say their clothes or cars will help the environment!

They may not be lying, but they're also not telling the whole truth.

So, is it okay to advertise things that aren't true?

Thank you to Ahuva for this colourful question! We also love 'Who wants a virtual life?' too!

It's always different when you visit or go past another school.

They have different teachers, buildings, books, and activities. Sometimes they even have private football fields and really fancy computers!

So, is it okay for some schools to have more money than others? What about those of us who can't attend those fancy, rich schools?

Molly is a superfan of the singer Jackfruit Jones (don't try Googling him, we made him up). But she's in for a shock when Carl tells her what Jackfruit is like in real life. Jackfruit Jones has done some bad stuff! So should she keep listening to his music? And can you dislike the artist and still love the art?
