We take a voyage of discovery into the dynamics of our relationship with our children. Behaviour that was promoted as healthy and normal in the Spock era – nudity at home, sharing baths – is now subject to profound self-questioning and even self-censorship. With the rise of the consensus that paedophilia is the great terror of our age, the taboo of modern times is admitting, or even suggesting, that children have a sexuality.
This programme is an honest exploration of an area too rarely discussed: the everyday domestic level of adult-child relationships.
