Does it make it okay if it’s just $5?
Do you have a favourite game? Maybe it’s ‘tip’ or ‘snap’? There are rules everywhere: from playing a game, watching TV, and even how to ask a question in class. But where there are rules, there are often loopholes.
The word ‘independent’ often sits with other words – like independent learning, independent thinking, independent adult, and lots more.
Getting comfortable can feel warm, nice, and sometimes even soothing. So, when we’re happily floating along in life, a sudden tide change can really rock the boat.
Beliefs can shape the way someone speaks, acts, and even dreams. Everyone believes different things, but sometimes those things aren’t true.
Lots of adults think children should never swear. Many Short & Curly listeners tell us they secretly swear behind their parent’s backs. So what’s wrong with swearing anyway? Aren’t they just harmless words?
Have you ever wanted to give someone a taste of their own medicine? They might have hurt you or been mean to you or taken something that’s yours. But is it okay to do the same thing back to them?
Short & Curly listener Luca often gets stared at when he is in his wheelchair. His parents think the people who look too long are just being curious but Luca thinks it’s just plain rude. So when does curiosity become rudeness? And how can we be curious about someone’s difference without hurting their feelings?

At first I made this site for my kids, but like any dad I got a little over excited. I hope you find it as useful as they do.
Whether you want to listen to them together in the car, or alone in your room - the content is all safe for younger ears.
Some brilliant points raised in this. I think really kids just want to emulate the adults they care about and do ‘adult’ looking things.
I know I used to love a small non-alcoholic shandy when I was a kid and we were out for a meal, and pretending to smoke with those candy sticks when it was cold in winter always felt naughty. But I don’t believe anyone that says they drink beer for the taste of it.
