The Secret Lives Of 4 Yr Olds

Watch this video. I guarantee you'll enjoy it.



THE SECRET LIFE OF 4 YEAR OLDS
14 Aug 2015, 01:10

This fascinating observational documentary takes viewers inside the world of ten four-year-olds as they meet in a nursery. But this nursery is rigged with cameras to capture every glance, every whisper, every tussle, and all the raw emotion as these children take their first tentative steps towards independence in a world without parents, providing a unique insight into this pivotal stage of childhood. With their parents watching everything close by on monitors, the ten children encounter one another for the first time in October and they meet again in May. Scooters are fought over. Beads are shared. Allegiances are formed and tears are shed. The programme observes the action minutely as the children make and break friendships, struggle to share and to stand up for themselves, and ultimately find their place in this new social group. Overseeing all the action are two leading scientists, educational neuroscientist Dr Paul Howard-Jones (Bristol University) and developmental psychologist Dr Sam Wass (MCR Cognition & Brain Unit, Cambridge). This close observation of children in a nursery setting mirrors the way that scientists work. Drawing on this model, these experts have the opportunity to eavesdrop on the children's play on monitors, but also to suggest some interventions to explore the children's various stages of development.
