Wendy and Peter Pan; Boarding kindergarten schools in China

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Wendy and Peter Pan; Boarding kindergarten schools in China

Wendy takes centre stage as Peter Pan gets a feminist makeover. With Jenni Murray.

Wendy takes centre stage as Peter Pan gets a feminist makeover. China's boarding kindergarten schools. And how child support in South Africa is helping reduce HIV in young women.

JM Barrie's classic tale Peter Pan given a feminist twist in a new adaptation for the RSC. What's the best way to after small children if the parents need, or want, to work? The BBC World Service asked reporter, Madeline Morris to look at different models of childcare around the world. Today she looks at boarding kindergarten schools in China where children weekly board from the age of three and see their parents only at weekend. We look at a new study that reveals how child support in South Africa is helping to reduce the risk of young women getting HIV. Plus, All in the Mind, the weekly Radio 4 programme, is celebrating a quarter of a century by launching their 25th Anniversary Awards. Claudia Hammond talks about the Awards, how mental health care has changed for women during the time they've been on air and the early champions in the field, women like the American investigative journalist Nellie Bly.
