Parental Control is a monthly parenting and lifestyle podcast created by My Baba and hosted by the website's founder Leonora Bamford.

Parental Control is about feeling in control as a parent or prospective parent and feeling confident tackling problems head-on. Each month, we'll discuss current and on-going issues that affect mums and dads throughout parenthood and tease out the solutions with the help of some brilliant guest and expert speakers. My Baba provides the daily scoop on family, food and lifestyle - we're not just experts at all things parenting.

I Wonder What It's Like To Be Dyslexic?

Episode 22

Friday, November 13, 2020 • Duration 33:59

Sam Barclay is a graphic designer, photographer and author of the book 'I Wonder What it's Like to be Dyslexic'.

Dyslexia is a subject very close to my heart, both my husband and I are dyslexic and have unsurprisingly passed it on to our children. This book absolutely gripped me from page one, mainly because Sam isn't a dyslexic specialist but he is, himself, dyslexic.

His book makes it really easy for people to understand what it's like to have dyslexia and in particular, what the difficulties associated with reading.

I was delighted to welcome Sam to the podcast to talk through what it's like to be dyslexic.

We touched on everything from graphics and typeface to the creativity and communication skills that many people with dyslexia have. There are so many resources for the subject, but ones that I particularly like are Helen Arkyll Dyslexia Centre, Do it Profiler.com, and Crested.org.uk.

I'll leave you with my favourite dyslexia quote from one of the most famous dyslexics, Albert Einstein. "Everybody is a genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid."

The Legendary Fireman Sam On Bonfire Night Safety

Season 1 · Episode 21

Thursday, October 22, 2020 • Duration 10:53

The new TV series of Fireman Sam, from Monday 26th October at 7am & 4pm on Cartoonito

We're joined in the hot seat this week by the one, the only Fireman Sam.

Fireman Sam joins us ahead of Bonfire Night to share his tips on encouraging young children to understand the importance of fire safety at this time of year.

With the majority of organised firework displays cancelled this year, Fireman Sam is on the case to ensure that our pets, kids and hedgehogs are kept safe on 5th November while some families choose to celebrate in their own back gardens.

Fireworks are exciting but they can be very dangerous. Listen to your grown-up about where is a safe place to stand
Keep your sparkly sparkler safely away from other people and don't run with them
Wear your gloves when you hold sparklers and keep them away from your body
Once sparklers are finished, put them into a bucket of water, don't pick them back up
Make sure you wrap up warm and don't wear dressing up clothes
Stand at a safe distance from where fireworks are being let off and stay close to the grown ups
Don't be tempted to throw anything into a bonfire or poke at it with sticks
Be guided by your grown up this Bonfire Night and don't play in an area where fireworks are being let off.

Where Do Babies Come From, Mum?

Season 1 · Episode 20

Thursday, October 15, 2020 • Duration 26:55

Amy Forbes-Robertson is co-founder of It Happens Education, the organisation set up to provide educational workshops on relationships and sex education.

They work with a range of ages and stages across the UK. Whether it's puberty or pornography, sexting or STIs, contraception or consent, festivals or freshers week you're worried about, It Happens Education is a great place to start. I listened to Amy at a sex and relationship seminar last year and immediately asked her to come on the podcast. She made the whole subject matter so easy and unembarrassing and I read her book cover to cover the day it landed on my desk. This is a must-read book for any parent.

Bio: Amy Forbes Robertson

Over the last 15 years, Amy Forbes-Robertson (BA, MPhil, PGCE, QTS) has worked in Education. During this time, Amy has interacted with young people and their parents, carers and teachers; as a volunteer, a project leader, a community outreach worker, in youth work, as a school governor and as a secondary-school classroom teacher (KS3 & KS4).

Amy is also responsible for running the Beacons Project at The Hay Literature Festival. Furthermore, Amy has worked as an accredited trainer for Cambridge Assessment International Examinations delivering teacher training both in the UK and abroad.

Working alongside Alex Fryer, (formerly www.alexandrafryer.com), a nurse and medical practitioner. They have formed www.ithappens.education. Alex and Amy deliver gentle and age-appropriate messages about Relationships, Sex & Health Education (RSHE). Moreover, they provide friendly and accurate information answering the many questions young people have about bodies, babies, birth, puberty, body image, confidentiality, masturbation, pornography, pleasure, sexting, delaying the onset of sexual activity, healthy relationships, LGBTQ+ issues, consent, STIS, contraception, festivals, gap years and university. They pride themselves on honesty and a good sense of humour, and their 'straight-talking' has been well received by over 200 schools. They now have 4 speakers delivering their work in schools across the whole country. Amy is increasingly being asked to speak at educational conferences and the teacher-training element of the business is blossoming as Statutory RSE approaches.

Skin Uncovered: Everything From Eczema And Sun Damage To Freckles And Moles

Season 1 · Episode 19

Monday, September 14, 2020 • Duration 36:37

"This month I was so happy to speak with Joanna Jensen, founder Childs Farm and consultant dermatologist, Dr Jennifer Crawley. It seemed very apt to be talking-to them during National Eczema Week.

I had so many questions for these two from how to look after a baby's skin all the way up to tween issues and sun damage throughout the ages. I have been using Childs Farm products on my children from day one, and I love the story behind the brand. Joanna is an absolute inspiration to women, and I always call on her for anything skin related.

During the pandemic, my hands have taken a real battering and that was one of the main reasons along with it being National Eczema week that I wanted to pick her brains. I hope you find this podcast as interesting as I did. Do feel free to share it on the school run." Leonora Bamford, founder of My Baba.
