SAT SAT 08:00 Archive on 4 b01s7v7b (Listen) SAT From Donald Winnicott to the Naughty Step SAT Seventy years ago the psychoanalyst and parenting expert SAT Donald Winnicott first broadcast his idea of the SAT 'good-enough mother'; the mother who wasn't perfect and was SAT free, to some extent, to fail. From SAT 1943-1962 he gave some 50 BBC broadcasts. Aimed directly at SAT mothers, they had a profound impact on popular ideas about SAT motherhood. Winnicott's pioneering talks came after the SAT rigid, traumatising regime advocated by Frederick Truby-King SAT - babies fed every four hours, left uncuddled in prams SAT outdoors. Anne argues Truby-King is the spiritual father of SAT the much discussed contemporary ideas of Gina Ford, of SAT Supernanny and the naughty step. SAT By contrast, Winnicott believed that "It is when a mother SAT trusts her judgement that she is at her best." In his work SAT he took the radical step of talking to mothers directly SAT through the radio. SAT Winnicott explained a baby's development in vivid, SAT non-clinical language; he avoided exciting guilt or anxiety SAT in 'the ordinary devoted mother' without access to help or SAT therapy. He broadcast anonymously but received sacks of SAT letters. When his talks were published, they sold over SAT 50,000 copies, and influenced Dr Spock. SAT Winnicott invented a new language in which to talk about SAT babies and with the help of the BBC he created a new way to SAT talk to parents about parenting. His broadcasts touched on SAT many subjects: stepparents, saying no, feeling guilty, the SAT development of a child's sense of right and wrong, why SAT babies cry, weaning, the baby as a person, and what we mean SAT by a normal child. SAT His brilliance was to build up mothers by breaking down the SAT idea of motherhood. By unburdening women of inherited SAT notions of perfection he helped them to become better SAT mothers. He argued that failing was in fact a necessary part SAT of parenting, and through the failure of the parent the SAT child realises the limits of its own power and the reality SAT of an imperfect world. And he questioned the assumption that SAT professionals always new better and broke taboos about SAT parenting. SAT With a proliferation of parenting manuals and TV shows SAT today, Winnicott's message seems to have been lost. Many SAT parents and in particular mothers still feel guilty about SAT not living up to an ideal for their children. Anne Karpf is SAT argues that today mothers need Winnicott more than they ever SAT did.

TUE Mark and his two henchmen tackle academic TUE and abstract topics. Themes will be examined from every TUE angle, torn apart, laughed at and put back together again in TUE an effort to understand ourselves and the world around us, TUE and make it a slightly better place using stand-up, poetry, TUE songs and dippy interactions. TUE This week Mark looks at "Success". Everyone wants to be TUE successful, just as everyone wants to be loved, or have a TUE big flashy car. But how do we actually measure success? Is TUE it measured by how many things we have, how many swimming TUE certificates are on our walls, whether or not we are Lionel TUE Richie? Some people appear to be doing well in the world but TUE are miserable. Other people don't have money, a good job or TUE anything - but are happy. Is that, in fact, the true TUE definition of success - to find contentment with whatever TUE life brings you? TUE Mark, Tim and Tom draw on modern definitions of success, and TUE decide which ones are worthwhile. They look at successful TUE people and those who have made a dog's dinner of life, to TUE draw what conclusions they can. TUE Mark Watson is a multi-award winning comedian - his awards TUE include the inaugural If.Comedy Panel Prize 2006.

THU 1/6: This first edition of the THU brand-new series sees John create an innovative teaching THU aid; eavesdrop on two guards who really should be paying THU more attention; and, well, since you ask him for a tale of THU honour satisfied, he does have one such sketch. THU The first series of John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme was THU described as "sparklingly clever" by The Daily Telegraph and THU "one of the most consistently funny sketch shows for quite THU some time" by The Guardian.

THU In this fourth series, John has written more sketches, like THU the sketches from the other series.

THU THU 17:00 Ballylenon b00y8xdx (Listen) THU Series 8, More News Than Is Fit to Print THU Ballylenon, County Donegal. Pop. 1,999 was founded by St THU Lenon of Padua, when he fell into the river at this spot in THU 953. Ballylenon is situated on the shores of Lough Swilly THU with entrancing views of Muckish THU Mountain, in the Diocese of Derry and Raphoe. (Note: THU Ballylenon is a fictional name, but the other landmarks are THU identifiable.) THU In this society, there exists an uneasy balance of THU interests. Communication has all the appearances of power, THU and in Ballylenon, communication means the local Telephone THU Exchange and Post Office. Both these are firmly in the THU control of sisters, Vera and Muriel McConkey, who in cahoots THU with hotelier and funeral undertaker, Phonsie Doherty, would THU seek to rule the roost in Ballylenon. However, other forces THU have their own guiding principles, and where the McConkey THU sisters and Mr Doherty, aided by The Vindicator, would THU dominate reactionary thinking, a dangerous liberal tendency THU is championed by Vivienne and Rev. Samuel Hawthorne, and the THU somewhat unlikely, Guard Gallagher. The antagonism between THU these camps is only ever thinly veiled. THU In this brand new series, Christopher Fitz-Simon takes a THU jocose but jaundiced look at 1960's Ireland, where we THU discover THU Muriel McConachie , 62. Spinster remnant of a family once THU active in politics, Muriel inherited the corner shop and, THU due to her Councillor father's influence, has the Post THU Office franchise. Known as the eyes of Ballylenon, Muriel, THU the Honouree Secretary of the Development Association, has a THU long-term 'understanding' with its Chair, Phonsie Doherty. THU She is a gentle personality, but misses nothing and can see THU a midge on a mare's arse in Tyrone. THU We also discover, Vera McConachie, 61, Muriel's younger and THU more forthright spinster sister who runs the 10-line manual THU Telephone Exchange and is known as the Ears of Ballylenon. THU Every call goes through her switchboard, its content noted, THU discussed and any necessary action taken. She also writes THU the Horoscope anonymously for the Donegal Vindicator. THU The McConkey's closest confidant is Phonsie [Alphonsus] THU Doherty. 58. Phonsie is a widower, proprietor of the Swilly THU Arms Hotel and of Doherty's Estate Agency and Funeral THU Furnishers and Chair of the Development Association. Up to THU the present is politically 'in' and therefore in the way of THU knowing what grants and subsidies are available for all THU manner of projects. His relationship with Muriel McConachie THU is proprietorial rather than romantic. THU If there is a thorn in the side of this trio it is, Vivienne THU Hawthorne, 30, the former Miss Boal. Bright, breezy, busy THU primary schoolteacher. Organist and choir-mistress of the THU Presbyterian congregation. Though seemingly rationalist, THU Vivienne is secretly much influenced by horoscopes. She is THU supporter of cultural causes like the music festival and THU architectural conservation. And though apparently THU straightforward, she achieves certain aims by devious means.
