This is how much you need to raise your child
Afternoons with Helen Farmer
Wednesday, 3 December 2025 - 1 hour 17 minutes
The team at MoneyFarm has uncovered a steep jump in the cost of raising a child, to an average of AED 1.2 million BEFORE you include school fees. That
bill has risen by more than 10% in just two years, with researchers citing rising costs for childcare, teenage grooming, tech and the everyday
essentials. Finance coach Carol Glynn joins us to unpack what it means for parents trying to plan, budget and stay afloat.
December, though a month full of parties and celebrations, often leads to heightened emotions - too much comparison, the pressure to create the
perfect holiday. And when expectations don’t meet reality, tensions surface fast - It’s no coincidence that UK family law body Resolution reports a 25 to
30% rise in divorce enquiries every January. So, how do we avoid becoming a part of those statistics?
Is there a real difference between vet-approved diets and supermarket pet food? Dr Joana Porto from Modern Vet guides us.
And the first-ever World Triathlon Women’s Cup is taking place in Dubai this weekend and is set to bring some of the world's top female athletes here to
compete, including Samantha Ivy Keet, South African multi-sport athlete and a cancer survivor who ran a half-marathon during chemotherapy.
