  • Scout O’Donnell’s talk will explore the current trends in parenting science from both a sociological perspective and from the point of view of children.
    Named after the strong-minded, independent young girl in To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout O’Donnell grew up in Vermont and Connecticut. The alternative ways in which her parents chose to raise her contradicted the ways experienced by her peers at the competitive prep school she attended in her early years. In this TEDx talk, she relates her story of maturing into the independent girl she was named after. She shares not a doctor’s perspective or that of a parent or psychologist, but her own perspective on the best way to raise a child and progress in society as a product of alternative parenting.
    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

    I thought this talk was excellent and I took a lot from it. But that's because I fell in love with the 'idea' of the perfect parenting. Reading the negative comments was actually a huge relief. My parents were not perfect. I am not a perfect mother but I am a good one. Cheers to all the parents doing their best in whatever circumstances you are in, whoever you are :) Variety is what makes the world great.

    Hey there! When it comes to parenting styles, finding the right balance is key. Be loving and supportive, but don't forget to set boundaries too. Your parenting approach can have a lasting impact on your child's life. Show them empathy, communicate openly, and be a positive role model. It'll help shape their confidence, resilience, and overall happiness as they grow up. 👌🏻

    By focusing on your upbringing alone you're overlooking things like genetics, poverty, geographic location, lack of family support, lack of healthcare, lack of available child development resources, lack of mental health resources, etc.
    Child development is multifaceted.

    What everyone seems to be afraid to mention is that children don’t have to stay with their parents from the time that they can get up and crawl. Anyone will take a child into their arms and care for them because their irresistible and no one can give up the opportunity to care for a child. They should go to only the ones that love the most. Even if a child was one years old and crawled right out their parents front door there would be someone to take care of them. There would be no caveats or restrictions other than the ones that capitalists place upon a child rearing and the current fascitisation we are seeing.

      100% false. The bond that begins between mother and child starting from in the womb is irreplaceable. What are you even arguing? Do you know how many kids are treated like dirt, abused, neglected etc? If your argument were true none of those said issues would exist and all children would be well cared for lol😂

I accept some of her points but also wonder if she could have benefitted a little more emotional support as a young child....

    Sound like you have limited exposure to various demographics. Some kids need more guidance than others. For some, sports are the best way to develop and stay out of trouble. I encourage you to learn about groups other than boarding school kids and parents.

    • @HayleyJOD
      @HayleyJOD 6 лет назад +12

      Think the point is to let your child explore what they like and support those endeavors; sports, art, etc... not try and mold them into what their parent(s) believe the child should like or do stemming from personal reasons.

    • @lucasrlawson

    I find this video extremely condescending. Sociologists don’t know why students are not performing very well. not every parent does their children’s applications some kids are calm because they’ve given up and they have depression not because he had helicopter parents. There’s a lot of holes in her argument. I like what she’s putting down or trying to, but at the same time no one knows anyone else in there is a not a very well understood reason as to why kids in college are feeling so much depression, anxiety so on and so forth.

    I don't feel like I heard a Ted talk. I feel like I heard an uninformed person parroting sound bites the Boomer generation has been whining about for decades, participation trophies and all. She speaks in absolutes, primarily from her own experience. This talk could use a dose of humility, empathy, and sound academic research. I think 10 hypothetical parents could independently follow all of her "tips" without making a single mistake and have 10 completely different results. Either her parents were extremely lucky and she happened to be very responsive to their style, or they were very smart and saw her areas of need and areas of lack of need and now she is taking her success as the "only" way. A form of survivors bias with a hint of confirmation bias. There's no accounting for socioeconomic variance. She almost seems to be desperately trying to rationalize her success and reconcile that with the way her parents treated her. In any case, this felt more like it belonged on PragerU than Tedx. It is basically an opinion piece.
