- Author Stacy Ennis sees the uncertainty of our world today as an opportunity to teach our kids to be brave. Drawing on social scientific research about courage, she has developed a bravery framework she uses in her own parenting-and hopes people around the world will adopt, too. Bravery education, Stacy holds, is the most powerful parenting tool we have to transform our world from a place of uncertainty and fear to one of hope.
Stacy Ennis is a parent living what it means to bring up little humans in what can feel like a big, scary world. She's also a deep thinker with a background in journalism. She spent four years ghostwriting for a Nobel Prize winner, reading hundreds of scientific studies and engaging with audiences around the globe. As the former executive editor of Sam’s Club’s bimonthly magazine, Stacy created and edited content that regularly reached millions. She has lived a life of intentional discomfort that’s led her to live in developing countries, run her own business, and do scary things like try to give a TED talk.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Bravery means we dare to try new things, do whatever we think but never try to do before. Not only we raise bravery for our kid but for ourselves. Thank you Stacy Ennis for inspiration talk
every morning i wake up tell my child a story in my dream made by me..in that story i always make my boy Hero or role model... i tell the story and introduce him to him who always is in my dream.I actually introduce him to the noble man that i made...i want him to know the noble man qualities.
Great idea! Why not put these fabulous stories in a book?
it´s less about fighting the fear & more about befriending it
Beautiful inspiration.

Here we go...
You know, the bravery you condemn, that "violent masculinity" bravery, also comes from a place of love, and courage may not have some universal definition, but cowardes is universally obvious to all who might see it and especially to those who feel it. Cowardes is not restraint from violence, it is allowing the introduction of fear to dictate ones course of action, especially against the well being of oneself and one's loved ones. Violence is never alright unless it's defensive, and cowardes is never alright because if one fails to act, the bad thing will still happen, and likely keep happening because now the person causing harm knows they're dealing with a coward.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and provide input. I respect different views about courage. The point of this talk is to encourage adults to be intentional in how we teach our kids to be brave. And your comment-even if we have some divergence in perspective-shows me you are being intentional. Thank you.
Whats with the heavy breathing?
Sounds like you favor your daughter over your son? I think the lessons you teach your your kid no matter Boy or Girl its all the same they will figure it out
Bravery stems from the love of protecting those you love. Making tough decisions, putting your feelings aside. Bravery isn't inherently Masculine, there is Masculine and Feminine Bravery. Physical and Emotional. You've made this about Gender. It's not a Gendered issue.
You should take a look at your Daughter, and learn a lesson of why they are Brave. She's the one is Brave, she should be teaching you.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and reply, Blitz. I agree that I have a lot to learn from my daughter and son. And I also agree the bravery isn't inherently masculine or feminine-that was much of the point of this talk. :) That said, the scientific literature does suggest that parenting is impacted by gender and societal norms, and all those factors impact how brave or not brave our children grow up to be. The research resonates with me and impacts how I parent. If it doesn't resonate with you, I respect that. Take care, and thanks for engaging with me about such an important topic.
Why does this feel fake to me.
Thanks for watching, XII. This talk is very much from the heart. :-)
Fake? Please elaborate. Is the message true, false, valuable or not is the more important question. No one can answer why you personally feels something except for youself
This was an outstanding waste of time. This woman has appeared to have never encountered any real challenges or life threatening situations in her life.
Like listening to a boring robot
