Programmes for parents about children.
As children mature at Infants' School they reach a stage where they are able to collaborate, to plan ahead, and to take responsibility for more complex projects. They are better able to express themselves in words and turn more readily to books. Their powers of observation become very sharp and they are able to check and record their observations. This forms the beginnings of scientific method.
