This film is a delight and can be watched by children and adults alike as everyone will get a great deal from it. There is no speech, just visual images of 4 very different cultures with very different child rearing practises. Funny and moving; this is a DVD that will never age.

Format:DVD
carefully selected footage of four babies in their first year. It's great that it has been left as simply the footage without any commentary which would have detracted from it. Am using it in school with a Child Development GCSE course, the students love it

This is a DVD that will be sure to interest men and women alike - although parents will get most from it.
It is funny, informative, interesting and very heartwarming. The different cultures portrayed are fascinating and for parents of young babies it can be very encouraging to realise that there is no "right" way to do things.
I am a grandmother, and was so entertained by this DVD that I now own a copy myself - if I ever feel sad or bored, watching this makes me laugh again.
