The Life Series returns with two compelling new episodes as eight Australian children negotiate life in the rapidly changing world of late childhood, in the crucial few years before adolescence begins. Theyve been filmed since their first year of life, as part of a unique scientific and social experiment. Now nine, they are the public face of a pioneering longitudinal study of Australian children.The study reveals sweeping changes to childhood, particularly in how children are spending their time. So in a Life Series first, we follow all our children from wakeup to bedtime to uncover what life is really like at nine.In Life at 9, the kids respond to the world with new sophistication and complexity. But at the same time, their development is at a precipice. The latest scientific research tells us their levels of independence and creativity could set them up for success in later life. Yet evidence suggests that both are declining rapidly in the life of the modern child.
