I had heard about this program a couple of years ago now but never really persued it as I knew my children were too young at the time. We watch it today for the first time and I gotta say I'm really impressed with the depth of news coverage and the explaination of the issues that this program opens up for children. It's really fantastic!

In just one show here are just some of the issues that were discussed and explaned: raising world water levels and globe warming, the question of should prince Harry go to Iraq or not, making fuel out of coconuts to run cars, the Federal Budget, just to name a few!

The three older children were all able to discuss at least one of these issues with a new found knowledge of the issues and had started to form their own opinions. Now opinions change as we learn more and grow in understanding of current affairs so this is great beginning. BTN is definitely a keeper for us!
