I think the film 'The Wonder Year' and booklet offer important new explanations in an accessible way of how brain development and experience are closely linked. The filming is so delicately done with absorbing episodes of interactions, a range of feelings and play where the camera really 'holds still' and allows us to look and listen to Orson. I am sure all tutors will find their favorite sequences to support their work in helping parents and students to reach a more detailed and empathetic understanding of children in their first year.

The Wonder Year is superb, infant observation for everyone: hooray. Makers of reality TV about babies please note: this is 100% engrossing although it helps instead of hurting. I wish all pregnant parents could see this - and come to think of it, why can't they?
