Inside Little People’s Heads

S1 E5: Children’s heads may be little, but don’t be fooled because there’s still a lot going on in there. OK, so we all know that kids’ brains are developing away like tiny little slum dwellings with new bits sprouting out all over the place - the downside of everyone knowing this is that now we all worry that if we don’t stimulate them constantly or effectively enough, then they’ll end up stupid. But will they? In this episode Nigel looks at what’s really going on, what we should do about it, explains why kids’ temperaments are like cars and tells a cautionary tale about giving your child an odd name.
