The fascinating Seven Up series by Michael Apted are about a set of children are filmed and a snapshot of their lives recorded every seven years. It is a British documentary series that followed a group of children of different social, cultural, economic, and ethnic backgrounds, with varying beliefs and values at 7 years old, 14 years old, 21 years old, and 35 years old.
You can also read more about this here (on a blog) and watch the 21 Up in America here.
I'm off to rent the Seven Up series at my library. This has really given me some good points to think about as my daughter is 7. :)
