Description
Willy obsession starts early! Tina gets an email from a mother of a kid who won't stop drawing dongs! If your child likes to draw them should you be worried or is it just a bit of harmless silliness that he will grow out of in his late 50s. When does artistic expression veer into unhealthy fascination? There's no taking the mickey with this question but plenty of laughs to be found in Tina and Jar's childhood memories of their youthful "passion projects".
Young children love to explore the world with their mouths and hands. We all know that pretty much everything, even if it's nailed down, ends up in there. But what if your child likes to eat sticks and stones? Tina gets an email from one mother who is having this very problem and guess what? It's not that uncommon!
The concept of death intrigues all of us at some point. But the finality and the idea of infinity can completely overwhelm our kids. So when they experience a death it can impact upon them in a big way. How do you navigate this very delicate topic with your child when it's all they seem to want to talk about? Can we inform them without creating an unhealthy interest?
