Presented by Jenni Murray. How much pocket money should children be given? Pancreatic cancer; Alyth McCormack and Triona Marshall perform live; babies crying in public places.
Presented by Jenni Murray. Should we give children pocket money and if so how much? Is it fair to link pocket money to children doing household chores? And once you have given it to a child, should you have any control over how they spend it? In February, Wendy Butler was given between 6 and 12 months to live after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She tells her personal story. And we look look in more detail at pancreatic cancer - why are survival rates still so poor? And the Hebridean singer Alyth McCormack and Irish harpist Triona Marshall perform live in the studio and talk about their music and their first collaboration - their new album Red and Gold which is out this week. And what should parents do when their babies cry in public places?
