• (Childhood series, Part 5) Between the ages of five and seven, children enter a new and distinctive stage of development called middle childhood, marked by the phenomenon known as "the 5--7 shift." This change is demonstrated by new abilities and behaviors as children move away from the intimacy of home and family to enter the wider arena of school and work. In sequences showing the first day of school in several countries, this program shows how such universal milestones are recognized by different cultures, and looks at what recent research says makes for effective education.
