Zero to hero. Shyness and sociability in children

Description

What makes a boy or girl a loner? Can a child's future social life be predicted in his or her toddler years? How crucial is a sense of humor as children learn to make friends? This program examines the diverse ways and varying degrees of success in which youngsters build that all-important skill: getting along with others. Observing a group of 25 children who are now three years old, the film shows how even at this age kids are making adult-like decisions about each other-who they like, who they dislike, and who their true friends are. As the children interact, the program also examines the effects of diet and video-watching on a child's sociability.
