six-year-olds who cares they're at a pivotal age it's not funny this is where futures are formed this is the president of the usa this is a unique opportunity to see the most crucial stage of a child's development what they're learning now is the blueprint for adult life these children have come from all over the country to a school where every corner has been rigged with cameras and wired for sound i actually have film in there for goodness sake with unprecedented access to every tassel every whisper and all the raw emotion as these children meet for the very first time we eavesdrop on their secret lives this week it's the six-year-olds someone accidentally twisted it i didn't yes you did i didn't he did look arguing guys it's mid-summer and in south london eleven six-year-olds are meeting for the very first time hi hello i'm kate how are you good what do you want to be when you are grown up pop star yeah yeah yeah hi alvin how are you good take a seat i was born in saint thomas i won thomases it was so nice yeah and i even had a tv if you could be an animal which animal would you like to be lion why is that you were very loud hi beatrice how are you good do you like beatrice or b beatrice [ __ ] just checking there's only one two three four five children here at the moment and they're supposed to be ten what would you do if you had all the money in the world [ __ ] ah i'd save it hi cash how are you today a little bit nervous oh that's good i'm glad do you think you're quite a good boy or a bad boy good you think i'm a good boy that was let me know who's here my whistle i'm i'm a good boy this week the children are being looked after by kate and phil and observing every moment are scientists dr elizabeth kilby and dr sam wass i like to do art i like to do baking six-year-olds are at a stage of working out who they are relative to other people when i was born i wasn't this color actually i was just white then my skin grew black and black and black and this comes across as a great curiosity about how they are different to their friends you know i'm actually from india oh saying how do you speak india i'm your kid and i'm not from india they're starting to form an awareness of their own personal identity this is something that up until now hasn't bothered them at all right so today you guys are going to choose a group leader me me me we'll give you guys five minutes just gonna step aside so you can decide is the role of leader so desirable because it comes with power it comes with status and one of the best ways of being heard is to be at the front of the pack to be the leader maybe the one may be the one that has the most friends i just said that what would you do if you were queen i would get some slaves and tell them to do everything i would get everything that i want i would even get a flying unicorn so i'll tell them to do some jobs they need a cup of tea would you like to be the leader no i do not why not i don't like all the jobs to lead and needs to do what kind of rules would you have never ever um a teacher or adult never ever let your dog off a leash why do you think we have rules because rules they save lives never ever ever ever watched youtube on the plane is the first to start canvassing for votes let me be the leader yeah okay i'm the needle i'm the leader of charlie i'm a leader of charlie yeah we made our deal didn't we charlie and why do you like being a leader of course i want to tell everyone what to do cash lives with mum sarah a hairdresser and his brother and sister in southeast london when he's at home he's with adults mostly his dad myself his grandparents and of course his older siblings who have their friends over so cash happily slots into his brother's 14 year old little world with his friends or then he's over with my daughter's 17 year old friends and probably learns good and bad stuff by you you can't do hair you can't on i can i'm a girl cash definitely pushes the boundaries and pushes all the rules oh no that looks horrible now the reason being because you normally could look at me with this big puppy dog green eyes and get away with it he practically rules the roost he is a very dominant character cassius he wants to be good and he will always start off he wants to be good but he just can't help being a little bit rebellious yeah he really just enjoys being a bit of a cheeky chappie which i think is what he is yeah fine let me choose who's the leader no 20 minutes later and the leadership contest is still up for grabs oh oh but cash comes up with a solution who's to watch us have an armor all we'll have to do is see who's the quietest hey let's see what you got wanna see hey okay so now we're going back to the old school we're gonna just do a power contest let's have an armrest for leadership okay mckissman yeah i'm waiting for some chest beating yes i am such a strong man i was not impressed to do no but look at the difference the girls and elvin have got a much more cognitive strategy going on if someone says oh i want to be the leader and then someone says oh i want to be the leader the way to solve that is voting and sometimes it's called the democracy no that was the right for me who's the right for me alvin doesn't approve of cash's hands-on approach who wants to vote for me and puts himself up for leader i'm not floating that you're not going to be the label imagine alvin if you were like king for the day what would you do i would say everyone you need to do what i say elvin lives with his mum caroline and dad samuel in kent he likes being a leader but then at the same time he's a peacemaker that's what elvin is they're doing it the way we do it in uganda being in this country it's a foreign country really and sometimes i see the way the children behave and we always say no that's not the right way we should bring a child up we always tell him if you see other kids being naughty or rude don't be part of it just tell them it's not right or walk away alvin we need to start off by writing your name when it comes to discipline i'm quite strict with elvin because we want you to be a clever guy very intelligent yes in africa they have what we call chiefs so both grandparents were achieved as in leaders and leading and my my father kept saying that maybe he's taking after the grand grandparents trying to be a leader wherever he is after 40 minutes the children still haven't managed to produce a leader you know what i'm not actually interested who started it that's not what i should be seeing you do all right so we're gonna do a fresh count beatrice who do you think should be the leader alvin and casper who you think she should believe alvin you think yep eloisa alvin you think she'll be the group leader and charlie who do you think she'll be i'm trying to think about it because who do you think should be the group leader i'll just choose myself cash has managed one vote his own alvin is the group leader for today oh all right isn't that interesting because cash was canvassing so hard but elvin with his kind of quiet this is not the way to do it has won elvin gets straight to business organizing the queue for break time okay you go to the back emanuel no he's the group leader so listen to him i was here and then you just pushed him to the back and cash is quick to lend a hand by appointing himself deputy go behind like charlie m yeah yeah see that saw it you didn't think of that did you um follow the group follow the group leader it's the afternoon and teacher kate has split the group into girls and boys for a game of fancy dress each group needs to have a box group leader which group boys or girls should choose their box first girls so you want girls to choose their box first all right girls which box would you like just tell me which one pink the pink one so that means the boys will have the blue one i think i might let the boys open is that all right yeah all right boys open up the blue box is full of wigs dresses and feather bowers six-year-old children are just beginning to explore and develop their concept of who they are as people and one of the elements that's essential to this is the idea of gender i i'm thinking maybe we should let the girls open their box now the girls are going to get cash is unamused i'm wondering if cash's response is a bit crocodile tears you know i'm not supposed to wear girls clothes i'm not supposed to enjoy this dressing up so i'm going to kind of stick to stereotype and i'm going to say that's not for us i know this is going to be a little bit too big for me but who cares okay no reticence at all from the girls there's none of this it's not my it's not that is an interesting point isn't it the girls are quite happy to jump into the boys clothes oh boys clothes their clothes this is my silly style what do you think the difference is between uh girls and boys uh when boys grow up sometimes they have beards or moustaches girls don't have some but my grandma she had a moustache so what good things can girls do cutting hoovering laundry washing up can boys wear dresses no no what do you think do you think boys are allowed to wear dresses yeah because on my street there's the man who dresses up as a woman gosh why don't you go over there and just help them you don't have to if you really don't want to put anything on you don't have to but maybe go and help them what i really love about cashy's response is he watches he's really frowning and then his face is going to laugh he suddenly realizes he's on the outside of the fun looking in and actually is it worth missing out on something that could be quite good in order to preserve your identity of what you think a boy should do he thought about it for a bit and you decided it wasn't worth it well done that's cash took a while but he got there he's in it now exploring gender by temporarily stepping across the gender divide can be a really essential tool that children use in working out for themselves what gender really means surprise and zero all right come on over cash come sit down look at me if it's raining i better get my jacket but i love the rain ah this is the life isn't it break time and caitlyn and marley are getting to know each other are you a muslim nope christian no i'm nothing i'm nothing i'm i'm just jamaican and scottish i'm half scottish and i'm half jamaican i'm half i'm half japanese and half english you actually sound like you're half of japanese yeah imagine what difference this makes to your social relationships if you are beginning to understand that there's how i see myself and that's how other people see you and that double agenda and we are seeing that now in this group of six-year-olds as they play out in their relationships all day long i don't have any pets i'm used to i used to have a fist but my mum had it too much and so it died do you know what i used to have four guinea pigs two of them died two of them it looks like they're actually alive but they're actually like ornaments they're like frozen when children are younger they can sometimes perceive death as temporary or even reversible so i had the berry one underground and pray for it r-r-i-p by age six children have a much more sophisticated understanding of death but it still remains a really abstract concept as it does for many adults and what happens to you after you die do you think ah heaven and what do you think's in heaven i think some really nice things and that was like he's going to airplane and when i look through the window i could see heaven we should actually make some smoothies yeah let's go what happens to you after you die you go to heaven and then you come back to life but you're in space two what do you think heaven's like then uh i don't know because i haven't seen it everyone's sitting back on the adventures for me please in the playground group leader elvin is preparing to umpire a tug of war who's gonna be the team captain shall i tell you now yeah okay all right uh phil would you like to tell us who's gonna be the team leaders we are going to have caitlyn as one and beatrice oh is it a good thing to come first ah for me yes beatrice is an only child she lives with her parents nancy and wallace and their dog daisy in south london i think she spends a lot of time in in the company of of us and actually in the company of radio 4 as well so um so i suppose that you know that she does soak a lot of that that's my mom that's my dad that's me and that's queen victoria of course and that's his house her husband and that's the first one or suffrage that's when mommy was born [ __ ] has not she's she's got lots of friends but she doesn't she's also quite happy on her own she isn't she she's she's quite um self-sufficient or self-reliant in that respect within her there could be a bit of a natural leader she certainly doesn't have to be a drum to you know to get people to come to her she just is she just has a kind of quiet confidence about her because over that side of this tug of war exercise is fantastic because it's teaching us about the really elemental basics of competition and rivalry competition really brings something out in children it gives them a sense of strength and a real kind of agency and a real energy about them it's not about winning when you're little once when you're big you need to win with one point each it's time for the decider on your mark get set go oh come on alvin call it call it crying when you're asking what's wrong okay what's wrong where to win do you know what competitive means competitive means um you want to win always sometimes i think we need to not protect your children quite so much and worry quite so much about what these experiences do because they have their own cognitions and their own ways of working through it very resilient in that way it's olympics and they have three winners don't worry i think we'll win next time what beatrice is doing here is she's describing and labeling the emotions that she's experiencing as she's experiencing them i'll try harder next time this is a very advanced and sophisticated approach for a child to take by doing this beatrice is hugely helping herself to learn to control and regulate her emotions it's lunchtime and eloisa has come up with a plan for the afternoon oh please don't kiss me eloisa yes part of her motivation here is to gain power over the boys by offering to kiss them you're not gonna get me yes but at this age it has more currency with some boys than with others what do you think of girls disgusting i don't know what do you think of girls on the look of them is so disgusting after lunch cash wastes no time reminding eloisa of her plan i need your kiss oh god i like trying to kiss all the boys and cash on their lips do you like kissing girls no not sometimes you gotta kiss out eloisa tries to kiss me disgusting she tries to kiss all of the boys okay don't tell don't tell kick lips okay what are the rules of kiss chase don't kiss on the lips but there's an interruption charlie yeah do not tell her i'll do it here she actually done it to me don't tell no one i know the kissing rules what if you put lipstick on someone and if you kiss someone with lipstick on they'll know yes but i didn't have lipstick let's see i'm not this dynamic between cash and they're easy it's fascinating yeah it is a fascinating one cash cash i actually have fallen in love i fall in love with you you can kiss him kiss him first ball on the lips is this the start of what we see emerging in adolescence you know have we got it wrong is is because we typically think of kind of romantic or sexual development as occurring in adolescents but actually is it because we've not watched young children enough to see that actually this emerges a lot younger lips yes i think what it is is they're playing with an idea that they don't really understand yet so i don't think you really know what it is to fancy someone okay now i am going to sleep now so whenever cash has just been kissed his immediate reaction is right i'm going to go to sleep now very much very male 1 out in the playground cash and louisa continue to spend time together okay do this eloisa is really fast might be scared of this one as another friendship is blossoming between beatrice and elvin uh because can i tell you something this morning when i was coming here yeah i was trying to send you a text message i said good morning because how are you and i couldn't because you didn't know my phone number so i asked my mom tonight um to tell you um my mom's phone number okay you might you might want to connect your ipad to my phone because then hey i'll be able to send you a text message i'm really enjoying watching kind of elvin and beatrice because this is a coming together of mine puss push slide push push glide these are two children with quite similar personalities quite similar approaches um they're very verbal in a very calm way but for me the real contrast is how this compares to cash and eloise's relationship which is so much more a play out of their personalities what did she say i can't say it i'm dead now just do it anyway we'll just tell said you're gonna marry me don't tell fine i'll just do it then i'll just do it i don't care i'll just do it it's eloisa who's bringing in the language of romance she's stumbled across adult phrases like you're my boyfriend and we're going to get married you want me to be your girlfriend right i but i don't think that it's definitely reflective of cash's interpretation or understanding of what they kind of do together can you tell me what you tell me they don't want to get married i do want to get married then i have to tell my boyfriend other boys so can you have two boyfriends is that okay no one eloisa lives with her mum and dad and two younger brothers i think she's very good at putting herself in other people's shoes isn't she what do you want in your sandwich she really thinks about what the other person might be thinking and feeling and she takes that right to heart doesn't she i'll finish your family off and then you can watch it and you can watch your film then i'll come and join you she's always um wanted to get married hasn't she so she always talks about the boys she likes and who she wants to marry love lovers love love but i think that's that's our fault we got married quite young didn't we so and that is enough is love this is gonna come your own father her father ashley is a church minister he runs the local sunday school she's seen lots of weddings and she enjoys watching a wedding we are marching in the light of god you always uh not hype it up but you always get her excited about wedding by comparing it maybe to a fairy tale movie that she would have watched we are marching in the light of god i've actually married him i've got my ring so can you tell me what did you give for a louisa then a ring and nothing else i'm already married do you want to get married no i just want this stay with my mum and dad what do you think about boys marrying boys that is so not cool they have no children but they'll still be happy they're likely boyfriend and boyfriend so where do you think babies come from how many babies would you like to have what my girlfriend sometimes you can have three or four or five or six i'm gonna choose one's got a big baby i know everyone's gonna be baby freddy everyone's gonna be maybe kevin hello now that the news is public watch this eloisa an embarrassed cash has a change of heart moments where they get along and they're getting moments where they completely repel each other eloisa let's tell you something yeah don't call me your boyfriend anymore it's the real energy if you like of a relationship animated energized big highs big lows that is not the great basis or foundation for a relationship a friendship any kind of dynamic it's the afternoon and the girls are playing in the sandpit let's see inside a sweep machine has been left in the playroom with special instructions look at our compass he's telling me straight to the teacher she come in does anyone come in exactly you know he's really aware oh straight away elvin is managing the group look but okay we can put them inside there come on get smart put them in there come on out quickly it's really powerful to watch how each of them responds to the idea of broken rules and what you do in response to that because it's going to be so mad with me is quite um quite relaxed about the idea really he understands the sweets on the floor he's chomping his way through them he's in complete contrast to elvin who is now doing what we call catastrophizing so completely assuming the worst i'm going to be in trouble and you know what my mom and dad would do to me yeah they're going to be so cross elvin seems to have completely taken the consequences to heart so the emotional consequences someone's going to be disappointed in me i've let people down really sophisticated emotional thinking how about we say when we came in the classroom they're so shocked they're already on the floor no um we have to tell the truth if we tell a lie we'll be from even in more trouble what is it about these two boys that one of them cares a great deal about the outcome and the other one doesn't i don't care anymore i think what really underpins this is their experience of consequences and this is fascinating because teachers and parents will tell you all the time for some children you need to absolutely be volcanic in your expression to them voice face body language with elvin a very quiet i'm quite disappointed in you it's going to have exactly the same effect and isn't that so interesting it's this age that those differences start to become really clear this is like a nightmare a bad dream i i didn't touch it because i was just walking in and then and then i saw it coming out 30 minutes ago the children were left with a full sweep machine but now it's empty come and just take a seat on that carpet guys you can tell me about it when i was running to it like this yeah that accidentally fell and banged it when we were coming in someone accidentally twisted it i didn't yes you did i didn't you did i stop arguing guys just let me say his part someone just twisted it and then uh and it's very brave of cash to stick up his hands that i did it isn't it he's really taking full responsibility i'm the one who twisted it and made all of them come out was that on purpose did you twist it on purpose there's almost something kind of match up about it like i'll take all the blame on my shoulders who thinks i've done on purpose now why is everyone thinking i've done it on purpose i'm not because i'll just put this one in my mouth like did you did you no more right yes did you touch it because you wanted to eat the sweets no i didn't don't tell my lie guys i only had one cash did you eat a thing i swear in god's life in jesus life and god's mom's life that you did not eat a single thing mary's life yeah mary so cash did you did you eat some sweets or did you not eat it only at one cash i i mean free cash so did you eat some sweets or not eat any at all i just got free soda and i allowed some more because i only look like a little bit like so what should be the consequence we don't get any and the rest of the cast that's on that's what you think casper cash what what do you think should happen well like i oh you should i don't know i should just take out i'm gonna take it out yet i just punish me don't punish them so you want you just want to take the punishment whatever it is you want don't punish them just punish me because i'm the one who done it you have to replace my brain because my brain's not working with brain surgery underway in the hospital corner oh i was cleaning under the table cash serves his punishment when you crack over a skull try to get the old brain out put the new brain in now you have to plop the new brainerd back in having spent most of the week together beatrice and elvin's relationship is going from strength to strength so what we're here for now because i'm going to the beat for six days dun dun done but but luckily next week i'm going swimming oh i i i passed my swimming test there's something really mutual really reciprocal about the relationship between elvin and beatrice they sort of get each other can you hear it squeaking they work really hard to understand each other they're both quite sophisticated communicators i think that's the real bedrock of their relationship the way they talk one of the things that's really lovely is how sensitive they are to one another's emotions put your head in case i guess that's the one that's going to go to the floor because then it could bash your head so tell me about your friend alvin he's nice very nice are you okay why do you like to be friends with beatrice because she helps people what makes elvin a good friend you think [ __ ] good games welcome aboard this south eastern service none hit we're going very fast it's the end of the week and the children are electing a group leader for the last time everyone stop messing about and just pick your group leader cash has been campaigning all week but without success alvin who do you want to be the group leader cash or charlie m who writes for me who writes for me i think cash is probably scratching his head and saying how is it that i'm not that i'm not the leader because he does have a degree of popularity he does have a degree of presence why didn't you vote for me why isn't no one my friend here cash has got a bit of a mixed reputation in the group you know he's a real character he's a real joiner in but sometimes his behavior is outside of what is expected or what is desired and at this age the children are old enough to think about well is that going to be a good leader why don't no one vote for me so i think quite unconsciously actually they're thinking is he the safest pair of hands possibly not oh hello be careful hands on the window out of all the children cash's most remarkable attribute is his resilience he's sensitive enough to be able to feel a setback but strong enough to be able to get back up on his feet afterwards and that combination of qualities is what i think is going to serve him really well in his later life it's nearly home time and the children have written leaving cards for each other too alvin i love you i wish i could marry you i will miss you very much from casper to charlie m i will miss you from cash dear beaches i will miss you but i'm going to the beach so i can get you some seashells love from your best friend elvin kiss kiss kiss dear alvin i enjoyed you that hit love [ __ ] these children are going through the process of working out who they are by noticing how they interact as a part of a group by observing how they differ from their peers and by starting to explore adult concepts such as romantic love what they learn by doing this will serve them very well for the future because these are many of the challenges that we still face as adults next time the six-year-olds confront the adult world there was a train attack on a plane to paris and it even killed the conductor international terrorism is now becoming a theme of of play among six-year-olds hi girls an exclusive girls club is formed you wanna help us get ready oh yeah you don't need to talk like that well i can't if i weren't and elvin faces rejection yeah but i thought i was because his best friend it's not fair you
