September is a truly testing month for parents, we hope you are all surviving your little darlings and all the new germs they are bringing home. We've been out on the road and Jarlath had a brutal encounter with a heckler!

Question 1-

Collecting things is a much loved, often very individual hobby. Hoarding however is different and can be something that takes over our lives and our space. If you’ve noticed a hoarding tendency in your child how do you manage it and extinguish it before it gains ground. What is the reason behind the hoarding, is there an anxiety or experience that has led to the development of this new behaviour. Can you help them through it? Is there hope? Or will they someday need a Biggest Hoarder TV intervention in their future.

Question 2-

Teenagers and body odour. How do we protect them from themselves? What do you do if you have a pre teen who is refusing to shower? How do you help them understand that showering is both for them and their community. How do you get across the importance of hygiene? Is there a way to awaken their sense of pride in their appearance without making them overly body conscience or body aware?

Question 3-

Runs down your leg like the yellow from an egg - Diarrhoea! Diarrhoea!!

Diarrhoea is something we all dread, Liam Neeson nailed the brutality of it in this year's Naked Gun. Luckily most of us only ever have to deal with it on the odd occasion. What do you do and how do you help your child if diarrhoea is a normal part oh their day.
