Power Struggles: Parents vs. Children

Is it healthy for parents to exercise complete control? Are rebellious children better equipped for the future? What measures should be taken to reign in unruly kids? This program looks at childhood battles for independence and the reasons why such struggles are psychologically necessary for children to undergo. Observing a group of 25 toddlers who have become self-aware and generally want their own way, the film examines the tests of will that arise during this crucial time. Triplets Alice, Mabel, and Phoebe compete for attention. Twins Ivo and Alexander have perfected the art of the temper tantrum. And how will disabled mom Alison discipline her rambunctious son? A BBC/Open University Co-production. Original broadcast title: Power Struggles. Part of the series Child of Our Time 2002. (60 minutes)
