A Child's World is a documentary television series which addresses the emotional and mental development of children from birth until their early teens. It is a fascinating series for parents as it gives an incredible insight into why your child does those annoying things that you don't understand. Mostly it's because he/she thinks differently to the way you think. Why do children ask so many questions, have tantrums and sometimes have trouble telling genders apart? It's all related to the development of their thinking and reasoning skills. This series was made in 2001 for British television and is narrated by well known Scottish actor Bill Paterson, who has done voice-overs for many documentaries as well as appearing in a number of TV shows and movies.
