´óÏó´«Ã½

With twin seven-year-old boys, Jane Dowden, known online as Mum and a Mic, is no stranger to negotiating with her children.

Whether it's sitting on the bottom step trying to convince a child to put on their smart shoes instead of green dinosaur crocs or trying to get children to eat their vegetables at dinner time, it can be a very stressful experience.

So, how can we avoid this and make life a little bit easier? Jane joined Hayley Hassall on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour to discuss her experiences and the advice she has for other parents.

You can listen to the full special programme about women and negotiation on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sounds – it's the Woman’s Hour episode from 1 January.
