It will be uplinked and broadcast on 60 television stations around the country, and will also be made available to school districts for use in the classroom. Production in St. Louis begins in January through March; editing is scheduled for March 2005 in Atlanta. <br /> <br />The documentary will explore the premise that children, day-to-day, are in an environment just as competitive as adults, if not more so. Sports, academics, college entrance exams, fashion, social life. Competition has benefits, but are there also drawbacks? How can parents help their kids grow up in a competitive world? The documentary will include interviews with experts, and will offer advice for parents. <br /> <br />CWK Network is a multi-media company that focuses exclusively on issues affecting children and adolescents. For more information visit www.cwknetwork.com. <br /> <br />The documentary on competition is being produced by Tom Atwood, the former Illinois Bureau Chief for KSDK-TV, with 30 years’ experience in broadcast journalism.
