Childhood development expert Billy Garvey has worked with thousands of families over the last two decades, helping anxious, angry, withdrawn boys and parents who don't know where to begin. He joins Life Matters to talk about his new book, Ten Things I Wish You Knew About Raising Boys.Bringing a pet into your family is supposed to be a love-at-first-sight moment signalling a life ahead with your new best friend, but the day-to-day reality can be a lot harder. So what happens when that initial excitement wears off, and the stress of pet ownership sets in? Richard Scolyer, the leading melanoma pathologist and former Australian of the Year, has died at age 59. Scolyer was the first in the world to receive immunotherapy before having a brain tumour removed, a radical approach based on research he and his colleagues developed. Writer Garry Maddox, who co-authored Scolyer's biography, reflects on his incredible legacy.
