You think your Mammy is interfering in your life? Well Mathew McConaughey's Ma is leaking stories to the press! We kick off this week's episode with a look into this story and which movies you should watch with your kids. Three great questions that throw up all sorts of issues on this week's show. Come and see Jarlath's new standup show too! We can about life on the road and where you can find us this week.

Question 1-

Babies cry, we all know this. Their cries are so important. How else can they communicate discomfort, hunger or tiredness? But what do you do if your baby is always crying, if they genuinely seem unhappy all the time? Is it normal for a baby to continuously cry or do you need extra help?

Question 2-

Nothing can prepare you for dealing with teenagers. They barely know how to cope with themselves. Between hormones and growth spurts they are under fuelled and over tired. But can this excuse the rudeness. And when does it cross the line between cheeky to disrespectful. Can you step in when it's not your kid?

Question 3-

When your child starts exhibiting worrying behaviour such as violence towards animals and anger towards you - what should you do? In our final question a mother presents a very complicated situation and Tina attempts to dig into what might be happening. Is a meeting with the teacher the best answer? How do make these meetings more amicable and avoid accusations?

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.

Question 1-

How do we cope with outside voices commenting on our parenting? When a relative doesn’t respect your approach and interferes to the point of it being detrimental to your child, what can you do? Is there any way of getting them to understand and respect your method of parenting or do you need to arm the child with the tools to know which voice they need to pay attention to?

Question 2-

You wake up one day and your four year old no longer seems to be the child they were. Suddenly she is throwing tantrums, being oppositional. Nothing is easy any more and you feel completely wiped. Is there a way back? How can you stop and restart? Is there something else causing these new behaviours or is this just a phase that will pass?

Question 3-

Moving schools for whatever reason always takes its toll. How do you manage the fall out? How do you guide your child through it and help them feel settled? How do you manage your own emotions during this impactful change on your little person's life? What is the right and wrong way to navigate this?
