Show Notes

Why do we call things what we do? From the desert oasis of Palm Springs to the streets we drive on, names are more than just labels—they are "mental hooks" for information. Dr. Roger Smith explores how explaining the significance behind names helps children understand history, nature, and the world around them. Learn why connecting a car logo to an animal or a street name to a civil rights leader sparks curiosity, and discover the powerful impact of sharing the story behind your child's own name. By revealing the meaning in a name, you help your child find their place in the story.
