Thirteen years after the ambitious project was launched to follow the lives of 25 children born in 2000, we revisit the Millennium babies as they are about to become teenagers.
We discover how they have coped with bullying, having a famous mum, learning to live with money worries, the divorce of their parents, getting into trouble at school and bereavement.
As well as hearing from the children now, the series draws on its rich archive to give us an insight into what has gone before.
Becoming a Teenager, a free booklet to accompany the series, is available by calling 0845 030 4015 or via the Open Learn Child of our Time 2013 website.
On the OpenLearn website you can also to take part in research into child development, read about childhood issues and learn more about the teenage years.
Child of our time will be screened at 9pm on BBC One on Wednesday 27 and Thursday 28 February
