Weekend Breakfast with Alison Curtis

Paralympian High Jumper Jordan Lee doesn't wear a cape. He doesn't need one. If you look at his achievements already and he's only just turned 21 - you will see that this young man from Killarney is a superhero. The best way to describe how high I can jump is the next time you park your car and you see the car park barrier set at 1 meter 95 just think that your good ol friend Jordan can jump over that! That is insane. LOOK HOW HIGH THAT IS!!!!

As our kids are growing up, we are moving more and more to a cashless society with tap-and-go payments and in-app purchases. So how can we teach them the real value of money and that we all don't have magic money trees in our gardens? Alison on Weekend Breakfast caught up with Child Psychotherapist, Dr Colman Noctor who has recently written all about our kids cash in his Irish Examiner column.
