I love everything about this! The clarity of the comparison is so beautifully laid out. In some ways, we do not even need the words. It’s very motivating too, to have that image of the mellow meadow. I am sure that “ideal” / idyllic image would be easy to recall in a moment of stress… Or, at the very least, the volcano image could raise it’s head as a personal angry reaction starts to boil. 😊
Out of the three videos, I prefer this format because it's less distracting. Meaning I focus only on the lines and drawing as you explain each part. Though it's great to have a face to go with the voice to show nuance or emphasis but I might lose some of the content in the process as my eyes go back and forth on two moving subjects on the screen. I think having the right intonation and sketch are sufficient to convey the messages in your summary. Thank you so much for having these different channels. It gives me an idea how I can plan summarising a favourite book I wanna share. I find synthesising information and sketching them for people to understand a very difficult thing to do so it really makes sense to do it this way (with explanation). 😎
Short and to the point. Sure, I could give the criticism that this advice is easier said than done, but no, it does a great job of laying the ground work and planting the seed of understanding the lack of emotional intelligence in young kids. Do not treat toddlers like adults. We are the adults. We needs to stay calm. Thanks 🙏
Wow, this video is so helpful! Teaching kids emotional intelligence is so important, and I love how they break it down in a visual way. I've read Hunt, Gather, Parent and it's such a great book. I'll definitely be using these tips with my own kids. Thanks for sharing this!
I always try to let my 6 year old calm down and feel better before talking to him about an issue. Otherwise he will only become more stressed and upset if we try to talk to him.
Yes! You make such an excellent point. Just because a person is of a certain age doesn’t mean they have emotional intelligence. Responding to these people with patience, and compassion is key. We are all on a different journey, and some people do not have the tools to cope in a healthy way. If a person grew up with parents that were both emotionally stunted & for example used emotional manipulation to get their way, well, then, the kids of these parents are going to grow up to be adults that only have emotionally manipulative tools in their toolbox. Let us all be more patient with each other as we continue to grow and gather the tools we need to have healthy relationships with one another. I hope that makes sense.
Please make more such videos. Loved it .

Thanks Julia! I appreciate hearing what you enjoy about this video format. Good luck with your own book summaries!

Your concept is incredible!

With some exceptions it's probably the same with adults. My first business coach would always tell me that "we are all just kids in adults clothing"
This is a good point!

It sounds like the ideas are more useful with examples.
