Children want time, not money; the web is good for your brain; and girls just want to have fame.

Weekly News Review from a Christian Viewpoint.

Patrick Woodward talks to Catherine Butcher editor of the Mothers’ Union “Families First” magazine,   about the latest news from a Christian perspective.  Today, a survey of children find that they want more time from their parents, rather than money, and most would bring up their own children differently.  Also,  surfing the internet is as good for your brain as crossword puzzles among older people, and the main ambition among girls is to have instant fame, thanks to the messages of modern media.
