Gas Happens! What to Do When It Happens to You

by Julia Cook, Anita DuFalla (Illustrator)

Overview

As educators and parents, we've all been there. Gas is passed and a variety of snickers, giggles, and negative comments ensue. But did you know that everyone and every living thing passes gas (except jelly fish and coral sponges)? If it's so natural, and so common, why do westruggle with teaching children how to respond appropriately when it happens?

Join Gus as he and his classmates learn the brief biology lesson behind why we all pass gas, and the right way to handle it when it happens in public.
