An Adelaide psychologist who specialises in educational assessments joins our show this week, just before the summer school holidays and is asked what parents should plan so their kids get the best out of the break.
Rebecca Rossi’s answer will surprise some and sound like common sense to others.
By the way, that picture is Rebecca’s first ever selfie, waiting for a friend at Fork In The Road.

And our music tonight suggested by Adrian Miller from the Radio Adelaide Monday night music program, Songcatcher, is from Peter Clayton with Deaf, Dumb & Blind. Peter is a regular at several open mics around town and so anyone wanting to hear his incredible voice in the flesh can actually do so. Known for his exquisite finger picking guitar style and rich resonant voice, he has been playing around Adelaide for many years: Deaf, Dumb & Blind was a winner in SCALA’s 2011 song competition. He was also a winner in 2013 with “Never Be Mine” |
