    Is it the same guy who did the 20th Century Child stuff? He's great. Don't suppose you know if it will be repeated? I missed it:(

    Can you take the test in Ireland? Tried last night but I got a notice saying that it was down. My husband and I have a bet on who is the more conscientious!

    I thought it was very interesting about the whole nature and nurture thing and that being high and low in the different attributes have both advantages and drawbacks. My husband found that he was very stressed out afterwards, he saw for the first time just how much responsibility we have in moulding our son!

    Kitty, tell your husband to read Freakonomics. They make the point that personality is largely down to genetics and he has done most of his share already. As long as you don't mess up badly [I'm assuming your genes won't have already ruined your child] most of what he does is largely irrelevant. Ha ha!!!

    Sorry to say it for the fans of the show but after studying Piaget I find Robert Wilson irrelevant as well in a scientific way. He is entertaining but is in my opinion a media whore. Parents would spend their time much better by reading Piaget and his extensive study of his own kids. It is a hard read but much more informative as it should be.

    Wilson is a popular media driven person. He ignores the variables and concentrates on public opinion to much for the show. Much like Michael Moore on political issues. That is my opinion.
