Bringing Up Britain

Mariella and her guests share their thoughts this week on the best way of breaking bad news to children. If you have to tell your kids that you're separating how honest should you be with them? Do we tell our children too much, even treat them as "best friends" at times to the detriment of their emotional well-being? When it comes to bad news in the media - should we let them see everything or should we censor what they hear and see? Producer: Sarah Taylor.
