Professor Winston looks at how the children spend their time, what they do for fun and what they get out of the things they do. Children say they like playing with their friends most of all, but that is not what they are actually doing. In fact, they spend more time in front of the television and playing computer games than they do at school.

Self-esteem is a key element of happiness and success and makes us feel good about ourselves. During our lifetimes, self-esteem can fluctuate, because it is not something we are born with, it is something we acquire. A child's self-esteem can be boosted when their parents are pleased with them. Having an achievement recognised is a sure-fire way to do this. A child that is never praised will become de-motivated, and constantly being told off can be damaging for a child's self-esteem.

In this episode, Professor Robert Winston explores how we develop the art of speech and body language to make ourselves understood and to understand others. At three years old our children have discovered the joys of speech. We see how children pick up language and the importance of communication both verbal and nonverbal. They are learning as many as 10 new words a day - and some have already grasped the first 1500 words of the 20,000 words they can expect to learn in a lifetime.

Explores brain power. It asks which are the experiences in the first year of life that can turn someone with the genes for genius into a failure, and someone less blessed into a success. As adults, roughly 70 percent of our brain power is inherited from our parents. But our intelligence isn't just down to our parents' genes. What happens to us in life from the moment we are conceived can make a difference. So how can the environment help to increase a child's intellectual potential?

Child of Our Time's babies are now one year old. Gender greatly effects who we are, but when do we begin to recognise differences between men and women? Are boys as free as girls to cross gender lines to become tomboys or sissies? A baby starts to behave in a gender-stereotyped way before it is one year old. Is this because of its genes or its environment?
