The inner lives of doctors. What can you allow your kids to do and when? And how money is marketed at women.

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, The inner lives of doctors. What can you allow your kids to do and when? And how money is marketed at women.

The inner lives of doctors. What can you allow your kids to do and when? Labiplasty.

The inner lives of doctors, what can you allow your kids to do and when, and how money is marketed at women. Plus the booklet aimed at educating young women about female anatomy.

Have you ever looked at your doctor and wondered what she or he is really thinking? Are they happy? Fulfilled? Stressed? What is your doctor's life like away from the surgery or hospital? How much does their day to day job, their training and colleagues affect their mental well-being? The psychologist Dr Caroline Elton joins Jenni to talk about what she learnt from years of working as an occupational psychologist for doctors, what she witnessed firsthand about doctors' work-lives and some of the observations included in her book "Also Human". 

What can you allow your children to do and when? What's the law say and what's just common sense ? 

New research suggests money marketing aimed at women focuses on budgeting and 'guilty' purchases, whereas for men it focuses on opportunities and investments. We find out about the long term impact that could have from Anne Boden the CEO and Founder of Starling Bank and brand consultant Otegha Uwagba 

Plus why are an increasing number of girls and women having labiplasty despite having normal anatomy? We hear from Dr Naomi Crouch, Consultant Gynaecologist, chair of The British Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Gynaecology who have produced a booklet aimed at educating young people on female anatomy - specifically the appearance of the vulva.
