Children's Health

Grade school kids learn the brief biology lesson behind why we all pass gas, and the right way to handle it when it happens in public.

Passing gas in public often becomes a source of amusement in elementary classrooms. Parents and educators can diffuse any embarrassment or hilarity and teach chidlren how to respond appropriately when gas happens.

A mini-bioogy lesson about the digestive system and natural bodily functions is presented to kids in grades K-6. The humorous story will have them laughing while learning the social skill of what to do, what to say, and how to act during natural, everyday "gas leaks".
