Life at 1 is the first instalment in a landmark series that aims to unlock the secrets of child development by following babies and their families for 7 years. Made in conjunction with the long-term study in which 10.000 Australian children have been placed under a sociological and scientific microscope, this groundbreaking program focuses on those first formative years to try and discover what creates a happy, healthy child and makes us who we are.
Like those in the study, the 11 families come from different walks of life and the challenges they face are both ordinary and extraordinary.
