Child Of Our Time: The Personality Test

Being able to acquire new skills is one of the powerful abilities humans have. But how and why do we learn new things? The children's families are invited to an interactive studio to discover the answers. With the help of three generations of Child of Our Time families and some extraordinary people, this program lifts the lid on the world of learning as never before; proving that it's never too late to master new skills and discovering along the way how personality can affect your chances of success.

Professor Winston examines the influence of fathers on children and assesses how children are affected by divorces or separations.

Experts tell us that the pressures of 21st-century life are turning our kids into sad, lazy telly addicts who have forgotten how to play. But can things really have become so bad? Has childhood been cancelled? Do the Child of Our Time children reflect this bleak portrait of modern life?
