Fred gets advice on how to persuade teenagers to act more maturely and responsibly.

It's what you're talking about before you're talking about it. Fred gets advice on how to persuade teenagers to act more maturely and reponsibly.

On MacAulay & Co: 

How do you tell teenagers they are being stupid, or more politely, how do you persuade them to act with maturity and responsibility - we get the answers from behavioural psychologist Dr Jane McCartney.

Sir Chris Hoy regains his gold in Melbourne - but for the rest of us budding wheelies, we learn about cycling technique from sports scientist Dr Niall MacFarlane.

As a new competition is being launched to find the country's best junior football reporter we speak to Match of the Day Editor and to our own football commentator Liam Macleod about life around the pitch. 

Have you heard of the Helmhotz illusion? All will be explained tomorrow as part of the Edinburgh Science Fair, in an experiment involving stripes. 

The weekend begins here with MacAulay & Co's guide to What's on until Sunday

And Chris Ramsay and Helen Zaltzman give us their take on the five news items we didn't know about last week.
