The Parent Panel

Kate Browne from consumer watchdog CHOICE a.k.a The Guilty Mum and social researcher Neer Korn make up the panel this week tackling whether or not there should be a ban on dangerous dogs in the wake of several attacks on children.

Plus how much should schools be doing about stamping out bullying in schools, is reality television good or bad for us, and the new Mary Poppins trailer has us debating whether or not classic childhood stories should ever be remade.

Sarah Hunstead from CPR Kids and Luke Escombe from The Vegetable Plot join Shevonne Hunt to dish the dirt on the past week for parents.

From whether or not parents phone use could be classed as "addiction", a Queensland hospital that banned certain phrases from being used in maternity and birthing suites, should little kids be allowed to play rugby, and what sort of adventures have you gone on since having children?

In this week's wrap, author Kerri Sackville, and Grant Lyndon from Busy Dads talk with host, Shevonne Hunt, about whether there is a crisis of masculinity in our culture, how to help your child navigate friendships with "mean" kids, how they do "me" time, and how they've dealt with the creative/weather-inappropriate clothing choices of the small humans in their care.

This week Carly Abrahams from Mums Pages and Sean Johns from The Fathering Project dish on their week as parents.

Off the back to public furor of Barnaby Joyce's affair, they talk about times they've been caught out in front of their kids, tackling the 'war' on sugar, what to do when your child is sick and supposed to go to daycare, and after a girl in Queensland found a red bellied black snake in her backpack, the pair laugh their way through the 'beasts' they've tackled for their kids. Or that have tackled them!
