Should you discipline other people's kids?

Afternoons with Helen Farmer

Monday, 9 June 2025 - 1 hour 22 minutes

It's a controversial topic - but with communal discipline still common in many cultures, does it truly take a village to raise a child? And if so, how do you establish the norms in your own community. Helen puts it to three parenting experts.

Meanwhile, as a major oncology conference in the USA hears how cancer patients are now delaying or refusing treatment in favour of miracle diets, essential oils and advice from TikTok influencers with no medical qualifications, Helen factchecks some medical claims with breast cancer surgeon turned patient, Dr Liz O'Riordan.

We get the facts on healthcare before travel, and vaccine catch-ups, with Dr Howard Podolsky, and Tom Poulson from Haus&Haus is also on hand to talk property buying mistakes, and how to avoid them.
