Episode SummaryTonight we begin a special five-part series exploring the human body. We start our journey with the Sense of Taste.

Have you ever wondered how your tongue knows the difference between a sweet strawberry and a sour lemon? It is a fascinating chemical process that happens every time we eat. In this episode, we drift down the "river of flavor" to see how it works. We will learn about the thousands of tiny sensors called taste buds and how they work with your nose to send delicious messages to your brain.

This episode is designed to be low-demand and high-interest. It captures the imagination without overstimulating the senses. It is the perfect tool to help your child transition from a busy day to a restful sleep.

Why This Episode Works:

• 100% Human Created: No AI voices here. Just a calm, real father’s voice to comfort your child.

• Neurodiverse Friendly: No sudden loud noises, no complex storylines to follow, and a consistent soothing tone.

• Educational & Calming: We turn complex biology into a relaxing visualization that encourages focus and rest.
