I suggested that parenting education and support be included in the development agenda, particularly that we consider how we raise boys.

I was especially pleased that Nuala McGovern said ‘We should have a whole show on parenting!

Yes!!  If you agree, please write to World Have Your Say, at the BBC website, and say so!
