Life at 5. Resilience

Description

The story of a child's development is written most poignantly in his or her ability to bounce back after pain and trauma. From outward, observable behavior to the mysterious inner world of epigenetics, this program examines the coping mechanisms of five-year-olds in highly varied contexts and surroundings. Aside from catastrophe or a loved one's death, parental separation is the most traumatic experience for any child, and, unfortunately, that topic applies to several youngsters here, including Daniel, LouLou, and Wyatt. But Shine has a different tale to tell-about her parents' astonishing rebound from the economic abyss. Is their resilience mirrored in her own development? And does Joshua's burgeoning physical prowess signal the most effective way to overcome stress?
