Do the first 1000 days determine the rest of your life? | DeeDee Yates | TEDxWindhoek

What a comprehensive session/ talk👏🏻

Everyone who is expecting a child should watch this. I have so many regrets about my children’s early years. They were not abused, but I can see now how the way my wife and I dealt with them when they were very young affected their development. They have lowered self confidence, are not as motivated to excel, and have no direction / know what they want to do in life. My biggest goals now revolve around undoing our poor parenting, and building their confidence and mental capacity to be well-adjusted adults. Hopefully I’ll live long enough to see those goals succeed. A good video to accompany this would be education on HOW to be a good parent and how to deal with the stress of those early years.

Those who assert 'men need to do better' best watch this video and pray they model good behavior to their children.

Trust, understanding, early investments and connections. I wish I had received this early on.

Mirror neurons!

These practices are why I am an early childhood educator. Relationships which are consistent and loving.

Amen: nutrition and modeling for young families. A youngster from our church had a baby at 16. She needs support, nutrition, guidance, etc.

Is this the reason why my brother is so much better in all these aspects compared to me? :’) well fuq my toddler years

That was a great talk. Thank you!

This is soooo good!!! 👏👏👏

All word are so true and are real facts👏👏

Amazing!! Pure truth!! Bravo!!

The video begins with a self-contradiction. It states that the aim is a more "equal society," then pictures someone winning a race. Do we want all races to end in a TIE? If equality is the goal, why feature someone winning over others? But first, why is equality a goal? We can be "equally" mediocre. And if "equality" is the goal, it's more easily obtained by reducing everyone to the same level. No, equality is not a worthy goal.

Do you think this video impact the decision of people planning to adopt / foster kids

Good speech, I like it a lot. But the big question is what vaccination is doing to kids brain development in the first 1000 days?

I rather not stare at the people in the audience. If I’m at a lecture my full attention is toward the speaker. Maybe TED wants to show the different demographics of the audience. Frankly, It’s a bit distracting looking at others and their stale faces lol

Really great info for the new parents to take care thier children.

Really great info for the new parents to take care thier children.

Very convincing yes, but nature works in unfair ways. Obviously she is laying down the cheat sheet here to follow. I say follow it!!! Still, any mammal born faces a variety of factors influencing future strengths that will develop on their own. Obviously parents can nurture all sorts of coveted strengths in children. I mean look at the high number of Asian kids with early music skills spurred by demanding parents (Tiger Moms???). Anyways, strengths might be advantageous in the animal's environment, or not. It's all a bit of a gamble. However her blueprint for starting a child off right comes from solid research. There's nature, with heaps of emphasis placed on nurture here.

She is correct about early invested proven nurturing tactics setting that child up for a stronger future. Its like with wild baby birds. The baby that gets fed the best at the earliest stage likely has the strongest shot at reaching adulthood without fail. The neglected siblings might be weaker which create a disadvantage. This is generally true. There are always interesting exceptions. Life is a challenge. Each creature born is a mortal experiment. Really I suggest not creating any more humans. Kindly opt out of this breeder nonsense. Spare a life from inevitable suffering. I'm sure you can find something far better to do. If you love children, work with those already here. Dedicate your time to improving life rather than spitting out more life. The world population is big enough.

Absolutely loved it...and I'll be quoting you in my next 1st 1000 days lecture...Thank you !

Hi, Thank you. I learnt important things from Namibia, for my baby and my country.

i was with her until she tells women not to drink but tells men 'just love your wife' - that is inequality. why is enjoying a glass of wine at the end of the day a bad thing for mothers and not fathers! i didn't agree with this preaching

She told the men to love the mother of their children! 😍🤗 I'm so glad I came across this because this is Exactly my life/ parenting.

I would like to read Perry stone manaifest

The challenges of not having a supportive environment in the first 1000 days CAN be overcome. See "Lives of Children - George Dennison"

"Do the first 1000 days determine the rest of your life?" Well yes, especially if you are aborted.

Mam this is amazing speech,
most of Countries are investing (wasting) in the account of religion and defence.
simply neglecting child nutrition

Really interesting. What about psychopaths -parents and kids? Are they also genetically programmed to respond to human touch?

i am practising listening skill and this is a lession which easy to listen. great feeling.

Hello . Please explain how to activate the translation program into Arabic. Because the lecture is in English and the translation is also in English? Thank you so much .

Why is equality a goal?

I don't know who she is talking to.
And I don't believe her credentials match what she's asserting.

what is mean of this ted

what you do today counts more

Golden advice. Next to nutritional and physical care this is most important investment you can make to help your child maximize their potential.
Dads - take the time - help raise a happier child.

This is a great way to feel depressed when you know you didn't get the best times in that critical period and there wasn't a damn thing you could do about it. Should you just give up?

Talk about stating the obvious

Some of our best minds have come from poor starts in life. This sounds like a one world government agenda

A talk from someone repeating the idea that was developed in the 50s go away bitch

dee dee yates so good !!!!!!!!!

They cant wait to applaud her, so precious💜

ask your mum

what is HIV?

I don't know... some of the most successful entrepreneurs of our time started off with less than a conducive childhood environment =S
