He's sat next to me (having had the nerve to sneak downstairs and accuse me of not doing proper work because I'm on Mumsnet).
He knows Mumsnet solves all problems in the world (bless), so wants advice on the following:
He's 7, and when he's going to bed, likes to have something like classic fm on, or radio 2, or even radio 4. Basically it's better for him than CDs 'cos he likes to hear the presenters talking. I can understand this - I like it myself and he's an old kind of 7...!
But the news worries him and sometimes unsettles him. He doesn't really want to hear it but sometimes hears it by accident.
So, what do you think? We could insist he just listens to CDs but he's got a CD/radio/tape player next to his bed and will switch it on to the radio anyway.
Or is there a children's radio station??
We've told him to switch off anything which worries him and to ask us about it. I know you can't protect them from stuff and he's intelligent enough to ask us about stuff, but he asked me to start a thread...!
