Channel NewsAsia Signature - Don’t Kid Around: The New Girl

What do we really know about the mind of a four-yearold? For the first time on Singapore television, Channel NewsAsia takes you into the world of pre-schoolers, with its fly-on-the-wall series, ‘Don’t Kid Around’. Through this series, we explore the lives of four-year-olds. What shapes them? How do they respond to their friends and teachers? And do they know more than what we give them credit for? Using an observational documentary approach, we spend six months with a class of fouryear- olds from ‘Little Skool-House’. We capture their conversations, their tussles, their allegiances, and their tears, providing a unique insight into this critical stage of childhood. In this episode, there is a new girl in Walton class. Ong Rouhui’s arrival sparks the interest and enthusiastic warmth of classmate Zixuan, but his displays of affection are not always well-received. We try and find out what the dynamics of friendship are and how children make friends.
