- Natasha Babu, a clinical psychologist who herself grew up in foster care, shares her story of overcoming obstacles and societal expectations. Receiving a 9.5 ACE [Adverse Childhood Experience] score, all signs pointed towards Natasha growing up to lead a life of struggle, yet she didn’t let her environment define her, and went on to receive a 4.0 grade point average in both high school and college. Post-college she herself became a clinical psychologist who now helps people, many of whom face similar challenges to herself, fight through their problems, and conquer their own destiny! ‘It takes a village to raise a child’ proved true in the life of Natasha and her years of turmoil and survival. Landing with a small team of dedicated teachers, her life took a sudden turn and she entered the world of ‘foster care’. In her talk, Natasha reflects on how this team of teachers & strangers became a village of supportive strength allowing her to become a dedicated and passionate clinician. 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
Very uneducated comments below. Great video, love it. It does take a village to raise a family and we need more community engagement among society. As we grow up, we learn from a lot of different people and in some families it is not a generic 'nuclear family' raising their kids, it could be the grandparents, brothers, aunties and uncles etc..
No ma'am. Those comments below make a lotta sense. It takes a mother and father to raise a child, not a village. The children living in the building across the street are not mine. Therefore, I don't care how their raised by their parents. I got nothing to do with it. I don't think a mother should be giving her 7 year old donuts and candy for breakfast. All I could do is sit there and say nothing because that's not my son. Nobody in that cafe has the right to say anything because that's not their son, simple as that. Who cares, if it's not your child, don't worry about it. The people saying "it takes a village to raise a child" don't care. The fact of the matter is, we all wanna be left alone to live our lives and do our own thing. You're not gonna find too many people concerned with what's going on with strangers. That's just the way it is.
@@nyc4life448 I don’t think you’re quite getting what it means by, village. She is not talking about strangers making comments on people’s children. It is far more than that. During the video, it is explained. It means that as you grow in life, you have many different influences such as teachers, brothers etc and that is what shapes who you are as a person, it is not solely mother and father who are responsible for how the child sees the world and themselves. There are multiple people who play a role in that. Take a look at different cultures around the world, extended family and the wider community play a huge part in teaching and nurturing children, providing diverse perspectives and wisdom which all help shape who a child will become.
@@great1einstein Okay, you're right. I have to concede on this one.
Yours is the ONLY sane comment on here, Amanda! The comments by these unexperienced idiotic kids suffering from the Dunning-Kruger Effect Syndrome make me wanna vomit!
And what you are doing for that community? or is it only your community when they do something for you?
Our Creator saw fit to ensure that He alone shall possess the power to define the needs of a child. As the child's guardians, it is not our duty to define those needs but to stand ready to satisfy those needs as they arise. A government who takes a child from their parent instead of assisting them in satisfying their obligation is unfit to govern and unfit to provide a child with appropriate care.
Ok magic man believer
a mom and dad would be enough. saying it "takes a village" is an over used cliche that implies we'll raise your kids for you and that is exactly what is happening and exactly what is NOT working. Want better schools? The parents have to do their part is raising the kid ready to learn.
If the parents expect the village to help raise their spawn, then all the adults in the village must be allowed to discipline the children when they misbehave.
ohm @What they mean by a 'village; is the mothers, female teachers, aunts, female neighbors that will raise your boys. While you ae slaving at work all day and come home and fall on bed. And if you stop your role as a MULE of labor, you get kicked out of this circle, which you were hardly a part of, in the first place.
@@w_i_k_i_d "hat they mean by a 'village; is the mothers, female teachers, aunts, female neighbors that will raise your boys."
So males cannot properly raise a child? Does this mean if the mother dies, the children should be taken away from the father?
if the village is to take a hand in raising the children, then the entire village should be allowed to discipline misbehaving children.
@@cnault3244 @ So true, but look at what they are trying to say.
It takes a village, meaning the father and mother alone are incapable, which is NOT true.
So why do they need a village to raise a kid ? Father is always at work. So who is really incapable ? the mother ? Oh I see she needs help. Sitting at home playing with babies and puppies is JUST TOO HARD !!
@@w_i_k_i_d "So who is really incapable ? the mother ? Oh I see she needs help. Sitting at home playing with babies and puppies is JUST TOO HARD !!"
Reminded me of the mother in the film Mary Poppins. She has no job, they have a maid, WTF does she need a nanny to take care of her kids?
Only if you don’t know your Daddy! And that happens a lot!
Yes, but have you ever seen one of these so-called children that get caught stealing in Africa? So if you think it takes a village to raise a child, just Google mob justice in Africa and see how these villages actually treat these children !
It takes a villiage to rpe a child.
It takes a village to raise a child but nobody owes you one. I can't stand mothers who assume that you aren't doing anything so you can use that time to help them. Go pester your baby daddy.
What women really want is a village of women (mothers, teachers, neighbors etc)
Raising children to be subservient to them, esp the boys.
At the same time kick the fathers out. Who keeps paying alimony but have no say in kid’s life.
If you are that INCOMPETENT that you need a village to raise your kid, then don't have them.
Spot on bro
what'd your dad do to you?
If the parents expect the village to help raise their spawn, then all the adults in the village must be allowed to discipline the children when they misbehave.
@@cnault3244 @ Nope dogs and puppies get disciplined but not our precious children. They are a allowed to grow up misbehaved, rebellious and spoiled.
Sorry your dad left you :/
Thank you for being an inspiration to all ♥️
