I'm hoping to gain an insight into my target audience of young children around these ages to understand how do they behave. Watching this documentary series, I've gained a further understanding how certain children would react in certain situations and why they may occur. I've also seen how some children are developed further than other children at their age. It was a good outlook to understand which age group would be best to target as an audience. 4 year olds are still understanding how to socialise whereas the 6 year olds, who have now harnessed that skill, are beginning to take it further and use play as a route to understanding adulthood.
