i begged my wife to watch this.
Bruce Perry suggest that unless we are intentional with condemning racism it will not perspire away from our midst. I like this guy. Racism has heart my kids, This human challenge is close to my heart.
This was posted 8 years ago. Look at our world today. Corporations have ruined generations of people.
Fascinating talk! Thank you!
We live in a society that does not value children and families. Your data re: early childhood education is well established. But very few parents can access it. When I was young and single, I taught preschool, which I loved. But I couldn’t afford to live on what I was making. Now as a single mother, I can afford it even less. ECE must be subsidized in order for it to be equitable. A subsidy for parents to stay home and raise their kids isn’t a bad idea either.
I'm sure lobbyists, government, and all the hundreds of companies invested in this multi-billion dollar industry will do everything they can to push back against less screen time, we the people are easily manipulated and fall into their trap. They only want to integrate more and more into every aspect of our lives… go to work you look at a screen, get in the car there's a screen or multiple for the kids in the back as well, you get your news, entertainment, connections, conversations, work, just about everything except for eating sleeping and pooping… all from a screen…
Dr. Perry- thank you for your scholarship and sharing your knowledge. ❤
Wow I haven’t even finished the talk and already love him!! He’s on point! Look at the eastern cultures and the concept of family … it’s specific to not immediate family but extended family plus the community … they literally live by the concept of “it takes a village”
Every teacher need to know this in the schools. All should take this before teaching it should be mandatory for even parents and professionalsmm
Thank you
🕊🌎🕊🕊sharing🫂
If we all listened to him, we would be so much better!
Listening to this takes me back to my Early Childhood classes ❤️ I recently finished taking my major classes two years ago and I remember listening to his videos in my toddler & infant classes
Bruce Perry is amazing. I was assigned his book for a class in my education major class. I can’t stop thinking about it, talking about it, and reading it!
Inspiring.
Can these skills be lost if they are not used? I feel like there are plenty of older people out there are who are losing their skills and humanity because of too much time spent on social media.
Anyone else get Jerry Seinfeld vibes from this guy?
I love your talk and I wish that all parents and caregivers would watch this! I am wondering about the suggestion of what is best for my son. To live near my family even though I don't find that they are good role models and don't see eye to eye on sensitive loving parenting or move, but work on finding close friends who have the same parenting style?
An incredible job describing the facts clearly & unapologetically! 🙏🙏
So if the environment was not adequate, how do you repair fractured socio-emotional development?
Brilliant talk, so thought provoking, and so very important for the future of our species.
🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕
Thank you Dr. Perry…..I have read your books….your experience, knowledge & intuition is enlightening!
Thank you Dr Bruce D. Perry for your important work.
Would have been one in more than four because aunts and uncles
Great lecture! How cool was the timing of the child saying "uh oh!"
I find your comment above Journey from birth to consciousness -none of us recalls it, to be untrue
I can not only remember the last months while in my mother's womb and some of the things she planed to do,
or was thinking at the time but also remember like it was yesterday , when she went into labor and the moment
i was coming into the world as it became quite bright, but then again that was me, maybe there are others to.
educators !! watch this
👏👏👏👏🕊🕊🕊🕊💖💖💖💖
Thank you for this validation
I have a question…in regard to the brain synopsis creating words, what if you think in scenes/pictures? Is this just a neuro difference or could it be trauma related.
Thank You.
Love, Love, Love this man's work!
Wow, can someone send this to the lockdown people?
Maravilhoso. Estou lendo seu livro, é impactante. Descobri meu propósito de vida! Obrigado!
Wonderful!!! Just shared it with friends a teachers.
To summarize: Raise your children in a rich social environment encompassed with love and support. Limit their use on technology and expose them to the world.
Am i the only one who feels like it is morally reprehensible that we need to have big conferences to get the message across that you should love your children, or at the very least, not traumatize them?
33:53 this toddler understands more about the shit storm we are headed towards than anyone else in the room…. we are in trouble folks
After watching this video of Dr. Bruce D. Perry, which highlights the importance of growth during early childhood years, where a child learns the lessons for their whole life. child develop socially physically emotionally through that period of time which is really sensitive period of their life. he placed us(educators) and parents as the game changers, where we can change the old patterns of child development. I personally and professionally felt more responsible now as an early childhood educator after listening to this video. because the interactions and experiences a small child is going to have with me and his parents are the base of his holistic development. like he tells that 'development adversity is a powerful determinant of health(multiple domains) and in global wellness'. which means relationships and positive interactions are must for child development. if we invest as educators in the young ones then definitely this will boost upcoming adult's health too. likewise, we can contribute in creating a world full of creativity, humanity and productivity.
Interesting, isn't this the way life was before Public School was mandatory? I believe this is how the Amish currently live. It takes a village and they are all about community.
I am a foster parent and it is challenging at times. I read your book – The Boy Raised as a dog – it gave me sooo much hope for my foster child. As I see all of the behaviors and educational challenges related to my foster child, I gained hope as I read your book. My child had a challenging day yesterday, I needed to listen to your lectures – thus giving me more hope for my child's future. Your lectures and book reminds me to not give up on my child.
04:49 Croatians pride for inventing the tie/cravat. Story goes in the 17 century during the 30 years war the French saw Croatian soldiers on horseback wearing some sort of neckerchief (tied by their girlfriends or wives back home) and it became fashionable and called a la Cravat (like a Croat).
I love your talk. Thank you so much. I am right there on board. Have been for decades. Plus my profession is in the field of early childhood. The one thing I was uncomfortable with was the reference to mother and not father. We really have to get away from this blame it on the mother mentality. Quite outdated. While mothers are still the majority when it comes to primary caregivers, fathers have really stepped up to the plate in the last 10 to 15 years or so. I think the only reference I heard to fathers was the example of the whole family out to eat and they were all on their devices. Please take this into consideration. Thank you for the work you are doing to raise everyone's awareness about social emotional connections in early childhood and the impacts it has for their lifetimes and future generations life times. Kudos! I am proud to be in the trenches.
Any future parent should take parental classes.
