What One Pull-Up Taught Me About Resilience | Angelo Gargano | TEDxRound Rock Women
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-19 16:26
Do you know that most women can't do a single pull-up? They jump up on this bar kicking their legs to try and gain momentum only to come down feeling like they failed. And it's funny because every single time that women come up to me talking about pull-ups, they always say the same exact thing. You say it takes me back to the national presidential fitness test we used to do in school. Remember that? The boys, they used to do the pull-ups and the girls, they were told to just hang there. And although it may ...

What Parenting Advice Gets Wrong | Rachael Fritz | TEDxSouthlake
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-19 16:22
Core Argument - Traditional parenting rules are often based on power dynamics, potentially leading to disconnection between parents and children [2][4][5] - Neuroscience suggests that children learn and regulate better in safe, relational environments rather than under stress or fear [8] - Secure attachment, fostered through safe and connected relationships, is crucial for children's development, leading to greater self-esteem, leadership qualities, academic success, and empathy [11][12] Proposed Shifts in Parenting - Treat children as full human beings, deserving of the same dignity and respect as adults [14] - Reflect with a guess, focusing on understanding and connecting with the child's perspective rather than correcting them [15][16] - Incorporate play into daily interactions, as it is the language of childhood and a means for learning, stress release, and making sense of the world [17][18] Long-Term Impact - Parenting styles have generational implications, shaping the relationships children will have later in life [13] - Shifting from power to connection can break negative cycles and redefine parenting for future generations [13] - Fostering inner safety in children leads to adults who feel safe in their own skin [19][20] Supporting Evidence - The British Birth Cohorts, a 70-year longitudinal study, highlights the significant impact of parenting on human health and well-being [9][10]

TEDx Talks· 2025-12-19 16:17
