What happens when a young person gets their first phone?

from The Conversation Hour · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

If you are in the eye of the storm of your child wanting their first mobile, what sorts of things do you need to consider? In this edition of The Conversation Hour we discuss the big changes that can occur in a child's life around this time and why negotiation is key.Also in this episode, should GPs be able to initiate conversations with their patients about voluntary assisted dying? The Victorian Government is moving to lift some restrictions on the State's Assisted Dying scheme which include allowing doctors to bring it up as an option, so if this does happen what sort of support and training should medical professionals have to better equip them to have these conversations.Plus, we cross to Hollywood where Naomi Watts has been immortalised on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
