Share fun facts or personal anecdotes about health and the body to make the discussion more relatable and engaging. Praise your child’s curiosity and encourage them to ask questions or express what fascinates them about the human body. Offer to explore more interactive content like models, videos, or apps focused on anatomy if they show heightened interest.
