So You Think You Know About Children? (1969x11)

Air date: Apr 22, 1969

The first duty of a state is to see that every child born therein shall be well housed, clothed, fed, and educated. (John Ruskin) How good a parent are you? Do you know the laws - old and new - governing you and your child? How far are you answerable, and how far is the State, for his health, safety, education, behaviour, hours of work? Cliff Michelmore and Magnus Magnusson give you the chance to check your knowledge of the rights and duties of parents; and of facts about children, from toddlers to teenagers. Keep your score and compare it with the three studio teams: Four Parents, Four Children and Four Experts - a paediatrician, a headmistress, a child psychotherapist, and a children's officer.
