I'm not sure anything is going to beat 'stop calling Richard, you're not the father'!

What a fascinating insight into the lives of children, however if I were the parents of Chaim and sykla I would be reevaluating my parenting techniques, because these children are going to have big problems throughout school with their sense of entitlement and preciousness! Especially Chaim, he us greedy and a bully, and needs to be directed with better discipline before he becomes the child that is dreaded in every class.
It will be his downfall I fear |

I would love to have seen more - shame it was just a one off.
Please can we follow the children like in 7-Up? I would love to see how they all develop.

Watching on +1. I hope that Chaim kid's parents are suitably ashamed of their parenting. Doubt it though.

It will be his downfall I fear |

Haha he's like 4/5 years old right. Might be a little early to predict his downfall, just because he stole another kids sweets.

They showed several occasions where he threw his weight around and used his size to take things away from other people. He has a bad attitude and it does need addressing sooner rather than later - if only because he will not make friends if he continues to be a greedy bully. Also, the longer he continues to behave that way without any intervention the more difficult it will be to snap him out of it. |

I suspect you'd do better listening to the professionals at the end, they've got a clue what they're talking about.

Anyway judging a bunch of 4 year olds in such dept just seems a little silly to me. |

Skyla's obnoxious. So self- centred.

Surely all four years olds are self-centred!
I loved this show, and I have no idea why it wasn't longer, especially when they tried say 'look how much they've changed' in too short a programme. |

I dunno if it's that black and white. I knew a lot of people who had pretty terrible behaviour in both primary and secondary school. Way worse than that kid. Turned out pretty alright in the end.

The son of the Israeli, Chaim (sp?) was a nasty piece of work.
Bet his parents are embarrassed after tonight. Skyla just reminds me of the typical 3rd Gen Windrush kids I grew up with in London. Rude and nasty. I thought Christian was a gem of kid. |

The 'professionals' admitted at the end that they had never before observed a group of children in this manner. It made me wonder if they actually had children themselves, and how much time they spend with them.
Firstly Children don't behave in the same way at home, as they do in a group situation, then you add in the authority figure of the Teacher lurking in the background, in this instance rather than front and centre. Maybe if you had kids of your own and watched them interacting in the playground, you'd have noticed how different they are to being at home. The professions probably observe from the back of the class when the Teacher is front and centre and without the mic's so they're not getting the unguarded conversations. Probably not advisable for them to use their own children as test subjects either. |

Sorry, how many parents have access to nursery, a camera crew and a load of mics.

Who's the Bully?
Am I the only person horrified by this discussion? The irony of a pack of adults jeering publicly at a four year old boy who wasn't capable of informed consent for appearing on this programme. A witch hunt of sneering bullies calling him vile names and branding him the bully. I think people need to look at themselves. This isn't Big Brother, it is a vulnerable child. You should be ashamed of yourselves. This whole thread needs to be deleted. It is a child protection issue. Wrong on every level.
