How To Raise Emotionally Intelligent Children | Lael Stone | TEDxDocklands

😡

This is the best Ted Talk ever

As a single dad this validated my style of parenting. Sometimes just listening to their pain feels like your not doing enough to support them. Thank you.

What should we do if we as parents are the reason the child has big feelings? E.g.. a raging child because we said no to something.

bro idk why i cried watching this speech! it was so powerful!

It’s OK to disagree with a Ted talk by the way

Children cannot be what they can’t see ‼️

As much as I struggled getting over my upbringing, a phrase always comes to mind "we can only work with the tools we are given" I know my parents tried, they just didnt really know how to do anything other than what they themselves were taught. Now that we have these types of resources at our disposal though, there is no excuses.

Be careful how you apply this priciple. I used to listen and empathize a lot but this led my daughter to believe that she is a victum of circumstances.

Your story about your two daughters brought me into tears! So much compassion, kindness and love! The world will be a better place because we are raising emotionally intelligent children!

I really loved this ❤ “children can’t be what they don’t see”

My child is joining school soon and i must share this video with the teachers

Best advice ever!!!!

Wow. I'm a 68-year-old grandma to a 4 yr old girl, and 2 yr old and 18 mo old boys. I'm struggling with the 2 yr old boy whining and crying a lot. He's just starting to talk and I have been telling him, "No crying. Tell me what you want. Are you hungry? Thirsty? Do you have a boo boo?" My patience runs thin. I sometimes feel as tho his behavior is learned; i.e. he's using the negative behavior to get attention. (Seems he's been whining and crying since birth. Also, his older sister is very adored and I wonder how much he perceives that.)

I want to do the right thing! Help!

This was incredible 👏

Incredible!! A must watch for every parent! Imagine how different our world would be if this is how we were supported to parent the next generation. I will be rewatching and sharing widely. Thank you!

Helpful insights. Thank you
Welldone. Amazing children there

Thank you !

This was a beautiful talk. Thank you.

Thank you for this excellent content! I am a single parent of an only child (now 8). Something happened at school this morning where her teacher said something that caused her to cry. It hurt me too and so I returned home to look for content that would help me raise my child tobe confident and found this presentation tobe very helpful so thanks again so much for sharing your experience with many of us parents around the globe. I so needed to hear it and l loved the story about your 5 and 10yo children. May God bless them both and you for being a great mum! 🙏💕.

This is beautiful

There is always a reason in every behavior.

Welcome to my circle time for toddlers&preschools - children learn and have fun at the same time

I feel so sorry for those Woodline kids when they go back into the real world.

That sounds like a beautiful utopia. Something glorious, for the “haves” not the “have nots”. I love it but it’s just not practical if you don’t have resources. Another parent, money, you’re not working/ jobs. But I’m happy for the kids who have it.

Why should I encourage my son to cry, I always tell him boys don't cry 😢

I loved this talk. Thanks so much for sharing. Question for you.... How should we respond when children lash out and hit when they are frustrated that they don't get what they want e.g. cookie before dinner etc?

As a kid I was raised on harsh disciplines, punishment, fear of failure, etc... Now as a father I have to try SO hard not to make the mistakes my father made with me. It´s hard work.

Brilliant 👏

Wonderful video 👏👏👏👏

beautiful talk and this should be taught in schools, much more important for kids and parents to learn Emotional intelligence than to have good grades from subjects they will never use in life. well done and thank you

♥️♥️♥️

It's not that the reason I told my 6-year-old not to cry because he had been taken from me 3 years prior to his sixth birthday which was the last time I seen him in September but it's so that he wouldn't overcry he's been through so much I just didn't want him to seem like he has some kind of problem for crying that's what I meant by baby Don't cry be a big boy which were my exact words😩🤧

How can you make yourself a better parent when you don’t have that great of an example of what good parenting is? (On my hubbys page) when I was a young girl my mom always yelled at me and didn’t handle situations properly. She always took care of us kids but we never had an emotional connection with her because she was bipolar and it’s hard because I want to end that cycle for my son. He deserves everything and more!

Her soft voice made me to listen to the whole video without getting zoned out

This was amazing. Pray for me to keep growing to be the best father I can possibly be!💙💙

Thanks for sharing this. I have a toddler at home, its just challenging

excellent speech! thank you x

I’m trying to teach my children what I didn’t learn as a child! It’s hard when you’re fighting against the way you were raised but it’s so worth it.
