Brothers, sisters, best friends, worst enemies—childhood is a world of constantly shifting alliances, but somehow it also produces lasting emotional bonds. This program looks at the challenges young children face as they cultivate one of the most tricky human skills of all: getting along with other people. Viewers are given insight into childhood social development as the video addresses a number of important questions: When do children acquire a sense of self? How do they understand the feelings of others? At what age should they be expected to forge real friendships? Information on tantrums, separation anxiety, and building a sense of humor rounds out the discussion.
