An interview with Jane Evans, a parenting expert who has a book out in February called How are you feeling today Baby Bear? Which examines the impact of domestic violence on 2-6 year olds and age appropriate strategies to discuss it.

I then talk about and reflect on personal anecdotes of children at risk through poor parental assumptions.

I am delighted to have interviewed Jonathan Singer, a podcaster and  assistant professor of Social Work at Temple University, Philadelphia,  about his research on youth suicide in America. I hope to maintain close links with Jonathan as the weeks go by.

I also reflect on the troubled country of Sri Lanka and my experiences there. This is provoked by the Commonwealth Heads of Government summit. The people are lovely however there is a significant issue with child sex tourism and ‘the disappeared’.

I share thoughts on child abuse in relation to faith and belief. I also cover cyber bullying as next week is anti-bullying week.  Finally I reflect on a busy week giving media interviews to both radio and television.

David Niven Associates is able to offer individuals and groups access to the media training they need to ensure they can represent themselves effectively in a positive way or deal with a crisis situation should they need to address the media at any time in the future.
