With a new baby boom upon us, this timely program presents a selection of quality educational films about raising children.
Terrible Twos and the Trusting Threes Canada/1950/Colour/ 22mins/16mm/NFVLS
A study of child behaviour at two and three years showing how parents can deal constructively with problems presented by this age group.
The Time Has Come: An Approach to Non-Sexist Parenting USA/1977/Colour/22mins/16mm/ NFVLS Dir: Jamil Simon.
Demonstrates the ease and accessibility of a non-sexist approach to child rearing. Explores the non-sexist elements of the home environment as well as influences from outside such as television and school. Suggests ways for parents to expand options for their children.
Misbehaviour: What You Could Have Done but Didn't USA/ 1977/Colour/29mins/ 16mm/NFVLS Dir: Skip Farmer.
Identifies the four goals of the disruptive and discouraged child; attention seeking; power; revenge; and inadequacy. Adults who have identified these goals can respond in constructive ways that will encourage behaviour improvement in the child.
New Relations: A Film about Fathers and Sons USA/1980/Colour/ 34mins/16mm/NFVLS Dir: Ben Achtenberg.
As his son's first birthday approaches, the filmmaker explores the costs - both economic and emotional - as well as the rewards of having decided to become a father in his mid-thirties, and of choosing to share childcare responsibilities equally with his wife, who also has a career."Handled with extraordinary subtlety, and with full respect for the perspectives of both sexes."
