0:00.0 | BBC Sounds, Music, Radio, Podcasts Hello, I'm Anita Rani and welcome to Woman's |
0:08.3 | Hour from BBC Radio 4. Good morning, welcome to Woman's Hour on Friday, |
0:13.5 | the 19th February 2021. Why is the date significant? Well, simply because it's the only one we're |
0:19.8 | going to have, so let's make the most of it. Calling all new parents out there, here's |
0:24.3 | a question for you. Do you feel good enough? Well, it's how child psychologist and pediatrician |
0:29.9 | DW Winnicott says, parents should feel good enough. But what did he mean? 50 years since his |
