The Developing Child

The Forum

How early on can a small child distinguish between right and wrong? What does the latest research tell us about how a baby’s brain develops? And could watching TV be as good for the baby as reading books? Joining Bridget Kendall are child brain researcher Annette Karmiloff–Smith, psychologist Paul Bloom, and children’s writer Lesley Beake.
