  • Disappointing

    Callan’s Kicks is wonderful. I even like Oliver on Radio 4 but this show has no structure or substance and that’s not part of it’s charm. It meanders but not in a good way. Either fix it or remove it. Oliver has a lot of talent but not on this show.

How to get the most out of 'Family Time' with Reg Igoe
Q: What do you mean by risky play?
Reg describes risky play as activities that involve a manageable level of risk, like climbing a tree or balancing on a surface, which helps children learn to assess danger, regulate emotions, and gain confidence through repeated exposure to slight anxiety.
How to get the most out of 'Family Time' with Reg Igoe
Q: Yeah. Well, explore that a little bit with us then. Why is it so passionate? Why are you so passionate about it and what's involved?
Reg explains that the core is simple: be with your child in the moment, reduce expectations, and observe what play arises. Outdoor play provides sensory experiences that help children label and process emotions, building a foundation for resilience and self-awareness.
How do you go about picking the perfect sunglasses for your face?
Q: What's the first step to picking the perfect sunglasses?
Identify your face shape and then choose frame shapes that balance or complement that shape, starting with a basic understanding of whether your features are round, oval, square, heart-shaped, or long, so you can pick frames that enhance rather than overpower your look.
Does Ireland have an American-style "credit score"?
Q: How long can past arrears stay on your record and affect future loans?
Past arrears can stay for up to five years after the loan is cleared, with the clock starting after settlement, which means previous missteps can influence mortgage or loan decisions long after the fact.
Does Ireland have an American-style "credit score"?
Q: What does the Central Credit Register track in Ireland?
It tracks credit activity such as mortgages, personal loans, credit cards, and overdrafts, while notably not including routine utilities, and it records whether you were ever turned down for credit or had late payments.
