how do you give a child the best chance in life?

"The story continues for the children of the Life Series, as they reach the important milestone of seven. At seven, a child is beginning to understand who they are, and where they fit in the world. For the first time in the Life Series, we hear from the children themselves about how they see their lives in their ever-expanding world"--ABC-TV websiteTackling temperament. "This episode explores the nature of temperament, and by looking back through the Life Series archives, we gain a unique insight into how temperament is shaping the lives of our seven-year-olds. Temperament refers to those basic individual differences that we come into the world with - and the best way to observe temperament at this age is in a controlled environment. So we recommissioned the Life Lab to put the temperaments of our seven-year-olds to the test"--ABC-TV websiteFinding your tribe. "The ability to socialise and interact with peers in these formative years is perhaps the greatest skill a child can learn. It helps foster positive feelings through friendship, contributes to school adjustment, and provides a buffer to later-life problems such as bullying and rejection. Making friends and influencing people is a vital skill in life. In this episode, we delve into the complex social lives of our seven-year-olds. They now spend a third of their lives with peers, so their social group has increasing influence"--ABC-TV website
