  • I find this Fortune woman a prime example of what has gone so terribly wrong with parenting in Ireland in the last 20-30 years.

    It's worth a listen for the comedy value, but try rearing yer kids according to it at your own peril.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Parenting: Managing the transition to college
Q: What's the best course of action?
Discuss death with young children in a developmentally appropriate way, using concrete examples from nature, avoid lying or overcomplicating explanations, and let their play reveal their understanding as they gradually grasp permanence.
Parenting: Keeping a united front
Q: Right, first one. My 14 year old daughter has fallen in with a bad group of friends and we're worried. She found the transition to secondary school hard.
Joanna Fortune emphasizes observing and getting to know the friends, keeping lines of communication open, and avoiding demonizing the friendship. Encourage reflective conversations with the teen about how they feel with their friends and aim for a middle-ground approach rather than punishment.
Parenting: Teenager addicted to being healthy
Q: How can I tell the difference between a genuine commitment to fitness and the early signs of disordered eating, or an unhealthy obsession with body image? And how should I approach the conversation without pushing him away?
Balance the discussion by acknowledging the potential positives of gym involvement while probing for patterns: duration, impact on education and social life, and whether he is in contact with trained coaches or nutrition experts. Keep communication open, express understanding, and invite him to explain his goals while avoiding judgment.
Parenting: Teenager addicted to being healthy
Q: First question, my 17-year-old son is very into fitness and the gym. Over the past couple of years, he's gone through cycles of bulking and cutting, but his relationship with food seems to be getting more extreme.
The expert highlights that the gym can offer meaningful social and emotional benefits, but emphasizes looking for patterns, whether the obsession interferes with life, and whether there is guidance from qualified professionals. If there is a pervasive fixation and no balance, consider connecting him with a sport- or nutrition-qualified professional and approach with curiosity rather than confrontation.
Parenting: Teaching body safety
Q: I'm the mother of a three-year-old and I want to start body safety conversations; what should I choose as a first step?
Begin with reading a suitable book to frame the topic, then weave simple messages about boundaries into everyday conversations, focusing on safety, consent, and respect in a natural way.
