Richard Denniss: 'Every time we waste money, we count it as wealth'
Many of us can't seem to stop spending money we don't have, to buy things we don't need, to impress people we don't know – according to economist and author Richard Denniss. And he says to stem this tide of waste we need to become more – not less – materialistic, taking pleasure in the things we own already, and buying only things we truly value. We should treasure, repair and find a new home for our belongings when we have no more need for them, he says, not just discard them as rubbish. . (RNZ)

Ross Greene: Are we over punishing ourkids?
Most people use a pretty basic formula for disciplining kids: good behaviour = reward, bad behaviour = consequences (like time out or punishment). But psychologist Ross Greene believes giving kids negative consequences only leads to more bad behaviour. Instead, adults need to work with kids to figure out why they misbehave and working on a solution together.The method he’s devised – Collaborative & Proactive Solutions – has had remarkable results in schools. .
