The human body. Part 3, First steps.

The third in a 7-part series in which Robert Winston looks in detail at the life of the human body in chronological order from birth to death. This part traces the development of a child from birth to 4 years old. Beginning with the birth of a baby we observe a range of children from within the 0-4 age range and explore their development - from the physical ability to experiment with different methods of movement to the acquisition of language. Winston shows how the body is geared towards language both physically and mentally and explains how children learn language at such a fast rate. The growth of self-awareness, conscience, theory of mind and lying are also covered.
