When does banter become bullying? How do you equip your child with a sense of humour, a thick skin and the courage to stand up and stand out? In this episode Tina talks about the fine lines that parents have to tread when dealing with their children and their first introductions to victim humour, piss-taking and below the belt remarks made in the name of "fun". A step Mom gets in touch about a child that will not stop begging for treats. Is there any way to get them to stop or eat healthier treats? This week's answer comes from an unusual source. Finally Jarlath outs Tina's worst eating habits from her childhood and we hear about a difficult situation of one child making another feel bad for liking supposedly "girly" toys and activities. How do you step in?
