Episode 8: 我们为什么会感到疼痛？Why do we feel pain?
This episode drops Tuesday, October 20.
Description
IIn Episode [8], we explore a question every kid knows all too well after a scraped knee or a stubbed toe: 我们为什么会感到疼痛？Why do we feel pain?
Together, we discover that pain is actually your body's alarm system — tiny nerves running all through you send an urgent signal to your brain in less than a second — and what happens to the rare people who are born unable to feel pain at all.
我们会发现，疼痛其实是身体里的警报系统——身体里那些细小的神经，会在不到一秒的时间内，把信号快速传到大脑——还有，世界上有一些人天生感觉不到疼痛，他们的生活会是什么样子。
Along the way, we practice five key vocabulary words in context, with sentences your child can use right away.
疼痛 téng tòng (pain)
神经 shén jīng (nerves)
信号 xìn hào (signal)
保护 bǎo hù (to protect)
警报 jǐng bào (alarm)
Perfect for little listeners aged 5–8. 适合5到8岁的小听众。
Discussion

When was the last time you felt pain? What happened?
你上次感到疼痛是什么时候？发生了什么事？If someone couldn't feel pain at all, what problems do you think they might run into?
如果一个人感觉不到疼痛，你觉得他们的生活会遇到什么困难？Why do you think a stomachache and a headache can mean different things?
你觉得为什么肚子疼和头疼，代表的意思不一样？
