Is there a monster in your house
Article Abstract:
Rivalry between brothers and sisters has been recognised in the US since the 70s as the most common form of domestic violence. About 15% of the UK charity Childline's phone calls involve serious violence. Scotland Yard's child protection unit had 318 cases of sibling violence in 1991 including 2 murders and 30 cases of grevious bodily harm. Child psychologists urge parents to be careful when they handle a new-born baby as older children can become jealous and feel unloved which may cause violence later. Parental sibling comparisons can foster bullying.

If lunch is for wimps, make mine a light one
Article Abstract:
Channel 4's 'Light Lunch' comedy programme is rapidly becoming cult viewing. When it came off the air in May 1997, it had been seen by 18.4 million people aged between 16 and 34. Its presenters, Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, have a long-established and very solid double act, but had been struggling to obtain bookings at quality venues before embarking on the television series. They are planning to continue doing live work, as they believe that this sharpens their comic skills.

These men are putting the final touches to a doll's house. They also make wooden trains. They are prisoners
Article Abstract:
Modern prison workshops play an important role in a more enlightened approach to prison management. Prisoners are now encouraged to become involved in making useful, creative products, either for charities or to be sold on the open market. They feel a sense of achievement, and benefit from having been able to help others.
