Summary On our Feature Report, we look at today's Child-Centred Parenting practices in the context of historical and societal attitudes to children. We hear from authors Beth Thompson and Anne Sutherland, as well as anthropologist Meredith Small whose arguments are filtered through the day-to-day experience of the Murphy family. On our Reality Check we tackle the great soother debate - Are soothers the lazy way out, a simple solution for a fussy child? Consumer expert Tina Vrlak looks at baby monitors that let parents check up on baby, both in-utero and after. On our Video Diary, in the last of the three part series on the Jacobs/Joseph household, parents Starr Jacobs and Clifton Joseph turn the camera on themselves as they ponder the changes in their relationship after becoming parents.
