  • 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: How to get rid of soothers?
Q: How can I help my eight-year-old understand that being excluded by her friends doesn't mean she's done something wrong, and how much should I intervene?
Fortune recommends checking with the teacher about unkind comments, listening empathetically and validating the child's sadness without rushing to fix it. Parents can gently encourage new connections and remind the child that friendship changes are common and do not mean she did something wrong.
Parenting: How to get rid of soothers?
Q: Would you recommend going cold turkey and getting rid of the soothers completely, or is it better to allow them only at bedtime and gradually phase them out?
Joanna Fortune says either approach can work, but she leans toward gradual phasing: limit soothers to bedtime, remove them after the children fall asleep, and avoid starting during other major transitions. She also recommends checking the three-year-old's speech concerns with a public health nurse and weaning both siblings together.
Parenting: My 6-year-old keeps lying!
Q: Any advice on dealing with this would be helpful.
Fortune advises sharing clear, age-appropriate information as the family learns more, being honest about uncertainty, and making space for children's questions and worries. She also recommends increasing shared activities and connection.
Parenting: My 6-year-old keeps lying!
Q: Will she grow out of her habit of lying or should I be worried?
Fortune says lying is often developmentally normal at this age. She recommends calmly naming what is evident, focusing on truth-telling rather than accusation, and allowing natural consequences to teach children.
Parenting: When do we ditch the reward chart?
Q: What should a parent do about tracking their adult children who are technically independent?
Advise to delete the app, seek mutual consent if any tracking remains, and shift the relationship toward trust and autonomy rather than surveillance.
