This week on The Children’s Hour, we’re celebrating one of the most important people in our lives—our moms! This special episode, called For Mom, is filled with love, laughter, and appreciation for everything mothers do. Find the full episode page with the playlist at https://childrenshour.org/for-mom You’ll hear from kids on our Kids Crew and from listeners who share sweet, funny, and heartfelt messages for their moms. They talk about the ways their moms help, support, and care for them, whether it’s through hugs, making dinner, or cheering them on when things get tough. We also learn about the history of Mother's Day and how honoring moms is a tradition around the world. From the very first Mother’s Day in the United States to how moms help us grow into our best selves, this show reminds us why mothers are so special. Plus, in a segment from BirdNote, we discover how bird moms care for their chicks. Some share the work with dads, others do it all alone. Whether it’s feeding their babies or teaching them to fly, bird moms are just as amazing as human ones! This episode was written and produced by Katie Stone, with production help from Sarah Gabrielli and Thaniel Lentz. Special thanks to the kids who submitted Mother's Day shoutouts via our Speakpipe. The Children’s Hour is produced by The Children's Hour Inc., a non-profit supported by listeners like you. Our theme music was written by C.K. Barlow, and we are distributed by Native Voice One, the Native American Radio Network. © 2025 The Children's Hour Inc. All Rights Reserved.
