As seen on public television, this four-program set has been created to assist educators and parents in guiding children to become motivated, thoughtful and active learners.  Including a companion guide with each program, the series examines such habits of mind as personal curiosity, problem solving, “as-if” thinking, and acceptance of different points of view.  While each program explores a different topic—literacy, play, ethics, and the environment—all encourage a lifelong interest in learning.

The Learning Child Series is produced by Jonathan Diamond Associates, Inc. in association with the Child Development Institute at Sarah Lawrence College.
