This article was on the Unicef website it picks up on some really interesting points about the relation to children & childhood and the importance of family. It also has some other links about gender etc. A really interesting website

The BBC website is about the Invention of Childhood which accompanies the audio book/CD that Lin encouraged us to listen to. It looks at childhood through the ages beginning in the 11th Century right up until the present day. It covers a vast range of subjects and areas that have affected British Childhood from the Arrival of Christianity, Black Death, Rousseau, Welfare State and much more in-between! The website has some good information on and links to other websites and programmes of interest however the CD is definitely worth a listen!

Theres more on TV than X Factor!
Hi All
I just thought I would share a few things that are on the TV over the next week (apart from Strictly and X Factor!)
Mixed Race Britain - Saturday 8th October 9pm BBC2 How the world got so mixed up the story of how throughout history the races of the world's empires have mixed together.
Twincredibles - Monday 10th October 9pm BBC2 Documentary following 5 sets of twins and looking at nature v nurture.
Mixed Britannia - Thursday 13th October 9pm BBC2 (3 part series) started this week but I have put a link to the first episode below to Iplayer, looking at mixed race community in Britain.

Thought they might be worth a little watch, a few things to do with history, ethnicity and nature nurture.
Happy Viewing xx
