Your Childs Brain - and yours too !

If you have a child, I'd suggest that you will have been  particularly interested in the three part series that concluded last night on BBC4

We learn that about the brains development from the time it starts to grow inside the mother's womb to the time we die.

This is particularly relevant to childhood but I found it fascinating even for me at the age of 76 as I embark on learning to play the piano better.

These programs are still viewable on i-Player until 5th January and are very well presented and easy to understand because they are designed for children.

The first episode is available here:

The second: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b018l6wx/Royal_Institution_Christmas_Lectures_2011_Whos_in_Charge_Here/

We have 6 days left to watch it.

I've been watching back episodes of Tribal Wives which Chris Loynes alerted me about. only managed three episodes before they ran out - which was yesterday.

If anyone comes across anything else of interest on TV or in an online newspaper - let's have it!
