I want us to begin with a moment of reflection. Think back. Can you remember a time when you ignore the signals from your body? Maybe your head hurt, but you pushed through anyway. Maybe your stomach turned, but you smiled and you said, "I'm okay. Maybe your back was screaming, but you remained silent. We've all been there, ignoring the signals, powering through.But imagine this. You trip and your brain ignores the signal from your foot that you're falling. There's no coordinated response.You fall hard, unp ...

Core Argument - Protecting children's space to experience boredom, struggle, and failure, within age-appropriate limits and with supportive adults, is crucial for fostering curiosity, creativity, and innovation [1] - The traditional approach of shielding children from negative experiences hinders their development of resilience and problem-solving skills [6] - Adults often intervene too early and too frequently, preventing children from learning from their experiences [7] Practical Strategies for Adults - Emphasize celebrating progress over perfection to encourage effort and perseverance [9][10] - Allow children to navigate through struggles, as this is where they learn how they learn best [11] - Model personal imperfections and demonstrate how to handle struggles and failures [12] - Practice being fully present with children by making eye contact, asking quality questions, and engaging with them during moments of boredom and struggle [13] The Value of Failure - Failure should be normalized and viewed as feedback rather than a final outcome [8] - Experiencing failure and recovery helps children become less afraid of it [8] - Supportive adults help children find success within the struggle, fostering strength and resilience [14]

[Music] [Applause] [Music] Have you ever asked your parents why why do we have homework. Why is fish curry so spicy. Why do we have to wake up so early in the morning for school when even the sun is still sleepy.And they say because I said so. When I was younger, I remember asking my dad why are the waves always moving. He smiled and said because the moon tells them to.At first I thought he was joking, but later I found out it was true. The moon's gravity actually pulls the water and creates tides. Can you ...

It's December 17th, 2019. I'm standing in front of the judge in a Colorado Springs courtroom. He holds the next decade of my life in his hands. I'm there because I meticulously planned and for a short while pulled off a $600,000 jewel heist. I tracked my victim's cars with GPS units linked to burner phones, accessed their security feeds, blocked embedded trackers that might be in the jewelry, and even convinced a Denver broker they were family heirlooms. I didn't do this because I wanted diamonds. I was dro ...

TEDx Talks· 2025-11-14 16:41
[Música] Viví parte importante de mi infancia en el Amazonas con mi familia y los panares. Ellos son los indígenas que nos mostraron que las cosas buenas te pasan en tribu. En tribu nace el amor, nacen los niños y nace el trabajo colaborativo, no solo para avanzar y para protegernos, sino que también para protegernos, porque necesitamos estar en comunidad y en tribu, porque desde el origen desde nuestra especie estar solos es sinónimo de muerte. La importancia del trabajo colaborativo y de la vida en comuni ...
