from 9.30 Growing and Learning
As a child grows he must learn to walk and talk, to play and paint, to read and write, to spell and do sums and to get on with himself and other people. Not all children develop all these skills with equal ease and it is sometimes difficult for parents to know whether or not they need special attention. When do you start worrying? Whatever age your children, put your questions to Dr Penelope Leach , a developmental psychologist and Anne-Marie McNamara , a senior educational psychologist.

Read by John Hollis
1: The Rival Beauties
In the words of Hugh Green , who recently chose a selection of Jacobs's short stories for publication, ' What is lasting in these stories is Jacobs's creation of a world of cheap sailors' lodging-houses in the Port of London, the wharves of Wapping, little coastal steamers and small towns in the Thames estuary, full of cosy pubs and retired sea captains.' And of course those immortal, if extremely fallible sailormen, Sam Small , Ginger Dick , Peter Russet.
