Who Do You Want Your Child to Be
David Baddiel, father of two, sets out to answer one of the greatest
questions a
parent can ask: how best to educate your child.
Taking in the latest scientific research, David uncovers some unconventional
approaches: from the parent hot-hosing his child to record-breaking feats of
maths, to
a school that pays hard cash for good grades.
David witnesses a ground-breaking experiment that suggests a child's destiny can
be
predicted at four, and hears the three little words that can ruin a child's
chance of
success for good. He also uncovers the neurological basis for why teenagers can
be
stroppy and explosive and has his own brain tinkered with to experience what it
is
like to struggle at school.
Through it all, David's quest remains true: to maximise his child's potential
for
success and happiness.
