Summary
Do kids need vitamin pills? Are smartphones really as addictive as heroin? And how are Muslim parents supposed to stop terrorism when they can't even get children to put their shoes on? Answering all these questions and more is Dr Afrosa Ahmed!
She tells us about her work as a GP and her life as a mum to three boys. We get her top doctor's tips for raising kids, and discover why Instagram Wrist is the new Tennis Elbow.
There's also some serious chat about religion, terrorism, and what it's like to raise a Muslim family in Britain today. Then normal service is resumed as Helen shares a Scummy Mummy Confession about farting in a lift.
Do check out Afrosa's blog at mum2sons.com. She's on Facebook too.
