Series: Healthline

Even as adults are shaken and hurting from traumatic events, we must provide comfort and explanations to our children. It is difficult for adults to reassure children when we ourselves feel the same vulnerability that our children are experiencing. As we tune into our children's emotional reactions, we need to pay attention to our own emotions. We must understand and accept the feelings that we are experiencing and projecting; this will help us communicate more honestly and with more confidence with our children.

What shapes a child’s identity—situation and surroundings, or unchangeable factors within the child? This program weighs in on that question by capturing the emotional and psychological development of 25 boys and girls at age five.

Powerful in its social implications as well as its emotional impact, Identity Crisis brings vital documentation to the nature vs. nurture debate. Original BBCW broadcast title: Identity Crisis.
