Summary Feature Report talks names. A look at what factors parents should consider when choosing a name, possible minefields and a lighthearted look at some of the rules and strategies parents engage in to ensure their child gets the perfect name. With Past-President of the American Name Society and the Canadian Society for the Study of Names, Sheila Embleton, Professor of Linguistics; Alexandra Schmidt of the Office of the Registrar General and Educational Psychologist Dona Matthews. Our Reality Check explores yelling. Christine Diakos is proud of her Greek heritage, but she's inherited something she's not so happy about: the tendency to yell around her daughter Isabella. A lighthearted look at something we all find ourselves doing a little too often. This How-to segment deals with telling your child they're adopted. Expert advice and parental perspective on when - and how - to broach the subject of adoption with your child. With Educator and Author Barbara Coloroso. Our Video Diary follows a child activist. For some people, helping others comes naturally. Having recently immigrated to Canada from Singapore, the Maheshwari family has carried on their cultural tradition of assisting others in their community.
