Schools Minister Nick Gibb, Frida Kahlo, Dads on-line
Presented by Jane Garvey, who visits a new exhibition of the work of Mexican artists Frida Kahlo and her husband Diego Rivera.
Presented by Jane Garvey. The work of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and husband Diego Rivera has been brought together in an exhibition in the UK for the first time. Jane visits the Chichester gallery and discusses the complex relationship between the couple. Schools Minister Nick Gibb joins Woman's Hour to defend the government's decision to abolish modular GCSEs examinations and return to a more traditional single exam system. Recent research has shown that children of mothers who suffer from post-natal depression are at greater risk of depression by the time they are sixteen than those of non-depressed mothers. We look at links between PND and depression in children, and discuss the implications of the findings. While mums looking for shared parenting help on the net have an array of online forums to visit, what about dads? In the wake of the launch of a new site, we look at whether men really want to share information or seek advice.
