Problem
• This film captures and provides a unique perspective on the upbringing of each baby. While each story is unique, what are some universal themes that run through each child's story? (Comment on the physical, intellectual, social and emotional aspects of development).
• How are the babies similar in their development? How are they different? Give specific examples. (Refer to growth and development principles discussed in class).
• Which baby seemed the happiest? Why? Explain using examples.
• What do babies REALLY need to thrive (toys, shelves FULL of books, or just a loving mom and a roll of toilet paper)?
• Beyond exploring the remarkable early stages of life for four babies, what did this movie help you explore and understand about all humans?
• There are a multitude of different philosophies about raising children. After watching this film, have your thoughts on how to raise children changed at all? How and why?
• What comments can be made on the cultural implications of different child-rearing practices?
