Cheers for the video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Trentvorty Kids Science Theorem (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a great exclusive product for becoming an excellent parent minus the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend after many years got great results with it.
Maybe this video is not the solution but give us precious information about our adolescents, for example now I understand why he is always defensive and angry with my responses or attitudes, he thinks he is being attacked. I’m so grateful with this woman for sharing her knowledge.
I'm almost 19 and have no idea what I want to do with my life, but i always knew it would be to help the development of self esteem of kids, specifically older kids. Maybe il be a developmental psychologist!!
It's not easy, but what a wonderful person you are for taking the initiative & having so much empathy thinking of your family. You are a truly special young person. You're a gem. You might want to check out PierreXO on YT, he's a little older, but he talks about important things having to do with your generation. His channel is a smart young community & in my opinion, some of the best minds & hearts of the future. Much love♥️♥️🌎🌎☮☮
This must be shared and watch it again and again. I work with elementary children they know bullying is not allowed yet it begins in vary subtle ways. It's learned behavior and we all need to learn to be kind and encouraging and yes we are all broken! STAY HUMBLE AND GRATEFUL 💞
Those 4 Gems are also what adults need to thrive. This video made me realize that adults are similar to adolescents and have some growing up to do.

I want to thank you . Just had a dificult holiday with my 15 y. o. son and his lovely 14 y.o. girlfriend, enjoyng they're amazing first holiday together, stayng up all night and giving me and my girlfriend a hard time . I realized suddenly, that not only is my son a tenager but that "I" ! I am a fader of a teenager. Suddenly my son is not good anymore, he must get good grades, he does not want to speak to me...but i am doing exactly the same! Is just that my son was a great conversator. He loved to speak when he was a young child. He always had lots of initiatives. He was always there! and that has changed. Now its more up to me. I have to do something actively for that connection with him. That is very confronting to me because i realize now after seeing your video how much I have changed with age. I became too confortable in my own litle life. I dont need much so i dont need to reach out to others. Now i realize if i want to help my son i have to change that. That is huge in all aspects. Thanks again for your elucidating words!
The funny thing is I learned all of this growing up in a religious household, so none of this is new information, especially the four gems. I definitely appreciate the theories finally catching up to tried and true practices!
Vulnerability such as sharing my background, mistakes and struggles -past and present - is an essential aspect of how I relate to my students and increasingly my children.
On the other side of the globe the stuff mentioned here are taught day in day out at home & in school. We call them values. But it sounded like a whole new discovery here, so deep. Like a lost civilization
@@bryan_mancia2549 there are many times you accept, but when they take meths and stab someone... Something other than acceptance needs to kick in. You are striding hard on the road of enabling
Thank you for this! On the first day of school I have my tenth grade students write a thank you letter to any teacher they have ever had. It’s so fun to see the teacher they choose and why.
This is a great presentation. I’m a school nurse working with middle school students. This is so powerful . I will be sure to share with my colleagues. Thank you
The problem in today’s society is that very few of us ever grow up. This talk talks to all of us, and especially men. We have to rise up and become true masculine men, that provide and protect our women and children. Thanks for this wonderful talk! :)
I might speak only for myself, but I don't need protecting by men. Throughout my life, I needed protecting from men, and their "masculinity". And not in the way you might think. So stop being so full of himself, and show some humility, and instead of "masculinity", strive for being human instead. Show up for people, not for "women and children". You have no idea how patronising it sounds. Women and children don't need protecting. They need opportunities to thrive, they need equal rights, they need wars to stop, they need to stop being controlled and they need to be happy. Have you ever seen a happy child? Truly happy child? That child does not need protection, because she has love.
I kinda disagree, my friend wants her man to be "masculine and protect her" but she is good at protecting herself, (as am I) so being protected is not am issue for some. I don't think it's that we need to grow up, I think we need to be responsible and those are 2 very different things. Being responsible means doing things to protect, have fun, connecting to others, being responsible is paying bills, laundry, getting outside for exercise/walks/fresh air. "Growing up" takes all the fun out of life and its supposed to be fun! You'll get more out of being alive if you connect and have more fun.
I'm 13 and in every friend group I've been in in the two years or so as soon as we start sharing stuff about ourselves and get past basic stuff like favorite colors we just go to "you guys wanna know about my trauma and list of mental disorders and mental illnesses?"
@@mmapng sorry. I hope you have (acknowledging) non-parent adults in your 🌎. Maybe seek until found. Best to you on this journey lasting to brain age 25. Hang tight...does get better!
Damn social media, my daughter is going through this. They can’t put that damn phone down and see their friends having fun while they’re sitting in their bedrooms and making bad choices with friends.
I have been raised without phones and devices and friends just my family. And the connection I’ve gotten from having a phone is so great. I’ve been able to make and keep friends bc of it.
One of the best videos that i have come across in a bid to understand myself and my adolescent child.... cannot thank you more and yes ... being Indian and a Hindu,i could relate every bit of it and understood why in our religion we give so much importance to empathy and forgiveness..... thank you Ted ex for bringing such eminent speakers to make a mark ❣️
It’s really tough when they have a mental illness on top of this! I’m about to lose it tbh! It’s hard to make time for this all when I have to work fulltime and I’m single 🤦🏽♀️🥲
Same. Single mom of 2 and my oldest has ASD, with anxiety and adhd surfacing in aggressive ways. I feel like I'm drowning just trying to keep her healthy. She is fighting me through the journey and I'm just as lost as she is
Nano it means when that troubled adolescent sees an emotional response to them and it’s difficult for them to identify immediately go to anger and substitute that. For example, a troubled adolescent, Bill as a relationship with another adolescent named Matt. Bill and Matt I have a disagreement and Bill is made to feel that he’s let down Matt. But Bill can’t identify why Matt is disappointed so Bill assumes the maddest angry. And more than likely will assume that Matt is angry at him.
I wish she would have given real-life examples of what humility looks like in 2020 life situations, for example, "do this" "not this"... I think most of us think we are humble, but are we? What does showing up look like and feel like for (Parents and teens) and (teens and teens)? What does deep connection look like feel like? What does repairing a relationship look like? Where is that book? I think I am doing those things, but my kids are still depressed, alone, and have extreme pressure!! I can not believe with so many FAKE FRIENDS. I think we play a role, but the PEERS play a more significant role in how they feel about themselves and the dad's need to step up with the daughter's confidence.
Lisa Torkkola I agree - there’s no doubt she understands the cause-and-effect and she can identify characteristics and traits. But I was really waiting to hear specific examples rather than just emotional platitudes.
This was awesome! Changing the culture would change the lives of so many people.. I'm on a mission to promote this very same thing! Keep spreading this knowledge and positivity!
we’re watching and analyzing this talk in 12th grade english right now. I ended up mentioning it to my mom and therapist. I knew I was defensive, and now I understand that it’s not just me like I had thought, that there’s a reason why I believe people are antagonizing me even when they say otherwise. huh.
21:12 Forgiveness and also humility. I really want to find a way to drive this one home with my son. Everything and everyone slights him everyday (by his perspective) and he holds on to that like it’s his buoy. I’ve been trying to teach him humility since he was in elementary school. Nope! Maybe if I try to fit forgiveness in at another angle.....
You can't teach it, you have to show it. If he has not been showing humility since grade school it's definitely a defense mechanism. Find out why he feels he needs to protect himself so strongly before forgiveness. Remember, these aren't personality traits he was born with, it's learned behavior from his environment influenced by his personality traits. Good luck. Light&love♥️♥️🌎☮☮
seeing someone forgive another..how often do children get directed to that process? saying sorry works when it adds in the Stand in their shoes Point of View. That is where it takes a lot of time. If parents do not talk about "Considering another" in any depth, children will just have no structure about Apologizing. We have to show apologies (be humble We made mistakes). Helps that the other person sees you Felt in order to amend your part, thus bringing the relationship back to The calm, happy state. Which is what i believe relationship Is about, you are not just doing it for temporary reasons. There was a great article about the genuine apology, taking the personality of another into account..saying more to ensure you Do not wish to repeat that sort of harm. AND (after thinking about it) speaking about how you will show more consideration. IE. I will put my wet laundry into the dryer after work/school..I will call you when I arrive at X. Purpose: the relationship between people requires updates, ways to keep them in the know, so things dont come as a surprise (WE HOPE). And of course more particular talking about Emotions, or how someone did not bring it into context (reasonably, because you both matter period). It is work, but helps to define how we can make Us sort out things, Like have health, forgive..know to add the new improved idea. That then aids in facing every day movement, planning ahead..We want it to work, RIGHT? Anyway, the apology that goes over how you want to add a Right action shows Ownership. Doing that shows the other You do that in yourself..a way to be in relationships..WIN WIN. They feel heard, responded to with plus vs minusses. Really appreciate Charisse's Overview here. Major Applause and Respect for Putting this into a Plan that is about Hope. Pscyh grad, mentor of children, survivors of traumatic brain injuries, learner about my son with a learning "differences", It takes heart and willingness to put my stuff on the side. Living with meaningful bonds is never just about ourselves...keep aiming to show You want understanding to be the Main Theme. Do the Hokey Pokey..we practised that. So Getting good at forgiving, being other oriented, not forgetting yourself, I wonder what WE Could DO!!??
we are expected to act like adults and be treated like kids- thats when u dk ur identity and i realized how as a teen - like i fill every criteria of the 4 gems but im surrounded with adults who arent as optimistic as i am and they arent at all accepting
This is so Amazingly informative. I can testify to these elements creating resilience for me as a young child during my parents divorce conflict. We can't prevent children from difficult situations, but there's definitely hope!
Christi-Anne Is it? I feel like assuming EVERY adolescent struggles with perspective taking is rather unfair Edit: the needs part is good, but certain struggles cannot be applied to all, and it is impossible to claim that adolescents are only concerned with their phones based on some "sixth graders walking down a hallway on their phones"
@@johnfortner357 That would be the vast majority of America. What Country do you live in? Also, the perspective taking is based on research...it's just the way the brain works. I refused to let my son get his driver's license at 16 because research has shown without a doubt their brains aren't developed enough to assess risk-taking behavior, etc at 16.
While I was in training as a Prevention Specialist I learned to say “children at risk”, rather than a labeling adjective such as “at risk children”. Something similar is “I am a diabetic or an arthritic” instead of “I have diabetes or arthritis”.
now let's just imagine if you grouped all the problem-filled, struggling adolescents in one place and forced them to work under extreme pressure for stuff they mostly don't want to do. That would be horrible...oh wait...hang on a sec...
Before technology people were worried because kids and young adults were plugged into the newspaper and they were worried that reading the newspaper would greatly and negatively impact human connection. I wonder if we tried to find a positive outcome for children and phone use, if there would be one…or maybe if there could be one.
Clearly this talk has 'worked' for a lot of people, judging by the comments. And to be fair, a lot of what Charisse says is both interesting and helpful; it also sounds 'right'. Intuitively, there is a lot to connect with (a key theme). It's great, too, that people have talks such as this to refer to, when experiencing issues in their family relationships. But I found this talk hard going after a while. It is longer than most Tedx talks, and she has a fairly forceful delivery, including a tendency to repeat, which jars after a while. But don't let that stop you watching the whole thing! There are many good points, with anecdotes (perhaps better with some more scientific underpinning?).
Yes but we aren't learning socialising skills. It is much easier to say "I like you, Jack" over text than in real person. So they fray from the latter and go with the first option therefore not giving them the opportunity to learn and "use" confidence. I see your point. But that isn't real socializing. It is feeding an addiction. And no I'm not a 74 year old grandma that likes parenting her grand children by saying "tech = bad", no, I am a 14 year old girl who is living through it and even I know that none of this equates to real life. All this fabricated mess is making teens compare themselves to others and feel bad for any bad card they've been dealt, it is unhealthy and everyone is at fault for it.
@@xxwintermoonxx1528 Yeah, the body language parts of communication aren't learnt if you communicate by text, so whatever they could have benefitted from learning about body language when talking to someone IRL would be lost. My point was though, that this woman says they don't communicate at all. I say they do, allthough not with all parts of communication involved as you would normally assume there would be.
Dave Cullins I think what this Psychiatrist is suggesting is that young people see the Internet as a place of acceptance; self validation of their beauty, charm, popularity etc. etc. and kids crave this so much that it’s easier to go to the Internet than it is to a relationship to find this acceptance.
@@TrueBlueBoogie Yeah but this doesn't mean they don't talk to each other, like she said. My point is that they *do* talk to each other, but over the phone, and that she can't see that.
Dave Cullins good point you make. Her observation goes one level deeper. Her point is that Social Media is now winning as a good substitute for real authentic friendship. Kids can be their own ‘talent Agent’ on Snap and cast this huge aura of coolness sound themselves rather than just sit eye to eye, in front of a peer, without the flash of technology and just say, “hey this is the real me, flaws and all...what do you think?”
Dear Charisse Ma'am Thank you for the wonderful information. I really appreciate your genuine concern for the youth. I pray to Lord Krishna for your long and healthy life. I would love to meet you. Love you. Lord Krishna bless you with long life. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you so much for this. I'm trying to find the 40-yr longitudinal study mentioned at the beginning of this talk - does anyone know where I can read about it?
Could you possibly go in and request autocaptions for this video? I'd like to utilize it for a course but I can't as it isn't accessible to students who need captions.
This is a 1st world problem... Just send your teens & adolescents to volunteer in developing nations; problem solved! Little to no technology, no time to self-obsess, lots of connections, empathy, & compassion on display. & when they return to their normal lives in the 1st world, they'll have plenty gratitude & a whole lot of perspective!
Hate to say it but in 6th grade when we didn’t have phones it was just something else. My daughter is in 6th grade in middle school No awkward recess anymore here.
I think people such as what Charisse says is part of the problem, when we treat this group so differently. And 'yes' absolutely agree when say young people are exploited and spend too much time on their phones, and in fact we nearly all do. That's a problem for our entire society!
"All she needed was an acknowledgement." That is so amazingly deep. She changed my heart with that. This was beautiful.
Cheers for the video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Trentvorty Kids Science Theorem (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)?

Keep up your amazing work. We need you.
Oh I’m feeling there is no hope! I’ve been dealing with these behaviors since she was freaking 6
Wonderful Tedtalk----thank you so much!!!!!
HUMILITY
empathy
gratitude
forgiveness
I'm 14 and it true about us teens
U r lucky u found this young
now let's just imagine if you grouped all the problem-filled, struggling adolescents in one place and forced them to work under extreme pressure for stuff they mostly don't want to do. That would be horrible...oh wait...hang on a sec...
Wow, that is surprisingly relatable and familiar, wonder where/what that is.
Lol that’s like school
Nailed it💖
That's what you are you get stuck in it
If it's fun or something they can possibly enjoy atleast for a moment that's the difference that they will always remember
Very helpful! Thank you!
Before technology people were worried because kids and young adults were plugged into the newspaper and they were worried that reading the newspaper would greatly and negatively impact human connection. I wonder if we tried to find a positive outcome for children and phone use, if there would be one…or maybe if there could be one.
This is fantastic! Any chance somebody could add subtitles to this so I can show it to my students?
Acceptance - Belongingness - Control - Dependence for Co-existence (ABCD) This Acronym is more meaningful
Clearly this talk has 'worked' for a lot of people, judging by the comments. And to be fair, a lot of what Charisse says is both interesting and helpful; it also sounds 'right'. Intuitively, there is a lot to connect with (a key theme). It's great, too, that people have talks such as this to refer to, when experiencing issues in their family relationships. But I found this talk hard going after a while. It is longer than most Tedx talks, and she has a fairly forceful delivery, including a tendency to repeat, which jars after a while. But don't let that stop you watching the whole thing! There are many good points, with anecdotes (perhaps better with some more scientific underpinning?).
Yes, I had to stop, too hard to watch. Maybe some other time...
Thanke you for your perspective! Now I have to explore what is impression management... :) :)
"They don't talk to each other - they're all on their phones!"
Well, what do you think they're doing on their phones.......
Yes but we aren't learning socialising skills. It is much easier to say "I like you, Jack" over text than in real person. So they fray from the latter and go with the first option therefore not giving them the opportunity to learn and "use" confidence. I see your point. But that isn't real socializing. It is feeding an addiction. And no I'm not a 74 year old grandma that likes parenting her grand children by saying "tech = bad", no, I am a 14 year old girl who is living through it and even I know that none of this equates to real life. All this fabricated mess is making teens compare themselves to others and feel bad for any bad card they've been dealt, it is unhealthy and everyone is at fault for it.
@@xxwintermoonxx1528 Yeah, the body language parts of communication aren't learnt if you communicate by text, so whatever they could have benefitted from learning about body language when talking to someone IRL would be lost.
My point was though, that this woman says they don't communicate at all. I say they do, allthough not with all parts of communication involved as you would normally assume there would be.
Dave Cullins I think what this Psychiatrist is suggesting is that young people see the Internet as a place of acceptance; self validation of their beauty, charm, popularity etc. etc. and kids crave this so much that it’s easier to go to the Internet than it is to a relationship to find this acceptance.
@@TrueBlueBoogie Yeah but this doesn't mean they don't talk to each other, like she said. My point is that they *do* talk to each other, but over the phone, and that she can't see that.
Dave Cullins good point you make. Her observation goes one level deeper. Her point is that Social Media is now winning as a good substitute for real authentic friendship. Kids can be their own ‘talent Agent’ on Snap and cast this huge aura of coolness sound themselves rather than just sit eye to eye, in front of a peer, without the flash of technology and just say, “hey this is the real me, flaws and all...what do you think?”
this video needs some more views
thank you. It does help me understand adolescence.
Thank You. Peace. Nj-usa
Awesome, I learnt a lot from this video as a teen coach.
Thanks for that.
So good !! Thank you
Who else wants to take a shot every time she says the word "hard"
Thank you !!!
Definitely one of the best ted talks.
amazing and so relevant to right now.
I think this is a good talk and agree with the 4 gems, but how?? How do you get them to practice gratitude...?
لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له ،له الملك و له الحمد و هو على كل شيء قدير
Awesome indeed.Thank you.i soo needed to hear this

Does this mean adolescents develop or have autism? And then grow out of it after age 25?
People work too much for not enough financial security.
Dear Charisse Ma'am
Thank you for the wonderful information. I really appreciate your genuine concern for the youth. I pray to Lord Krishna for your long and healthy life.
I would love to meet you. Love you. Lord Krishna bless you with long life. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you so much for this. I'm trying to find the 40-yr longitudinal study mentioned at the beginning of this talk - does anyone know where I can read about it?
👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️ Wonderfully true ❤️
Could you possibly go in and request autocaptions for this video? I'd like to utilize it for a course but I can't as it isn't accessible to students who need captions.
This is a 1st world problem... Just send your teens & adolescents to volunteer in developing nations; problem solved! Little to no technology, no time to self-obsess, lots of connections, empathy, & compassion on display. & when they return to their normal lives in the 1st world, they'll have plenty gratitude & a whole lot of perspective!
Spot on! Absolutely agree with you.
This was positive.
b.ed students are u here??
Hate to say it but in 6th grade when we didn’t have phones it was just something else. My daughter is in 6th grade in middle school No awkward recess anymore here.
What about her sister? Is she okay now? Do they have a good relationship now?
I think people such as what Charisse says is part of the problem, when we treat this group so differently. And 'yes' absolutely agree when say young people are exploited and spend too much time on their phones, and in fact we nearly all do. That's a problem for our entire society!
