I now understand why there's a disclaimer at the beginning of this talk. I'm a little wary of connecting Autism with a mother's negative state of mind. We need more studies and information to make this connection.
Being hungry or exposed to stress or abuse during this time can have a lifelong effect on a child's development. An unsafe or unhealthy environment in the first 1,000 days can affect a child's physical health in later life too.
"Network Wellness" this is a very powerful and intelligent overview that allows a lot of beliefs in. This is worth sharing and I am surprised this hasn't been seen by many more people.
Now that my kids have grown, this talk makes me reflect on those early days. The sleepless nights, the lullabies, and the laughter. It's a reminder of the incredible responsibility and joy of shaping a human being.
I saw this talk years ago when my daughter was pregnant and passed it on to her, I actually think there might be something to it because she took it very seriously and her son is the happiest ray of sunshine you've ever seen
I wish we paid attention to more studies like this, I feel like we are taking less time and care into the facilitation of life these days and it is SHOWING.
Recently I've read Françoise Dolto and was amazed by a fact that babies can understand everything! And now the breakthrough, babies understand everything in wombs!
"The brain and our nervous system is sensitive to all our emotions." That pretty much sums it up for me and why so many people are just living numb. Thats what you have to do when life is laid out for you.
I'm excited to take my baby on nature adventures during those early days. Fresh air, birdsong, and a touch of sunshine-because a healthy environment isn't just indoors.
Touch is such a powerful thing. I have no doubt that the isolation and social distancing that many experienced over the past 2 years which has reduced our human connectiveness has had a huge psychological impact. And watching this, I wonder how it impacted expectant mothers and their children.
The ‘network wellness’ he explains is something that was much needed when the world went into lockdown and isolation. So many needs not met, but this shows there are other ways to maintain wellbeing through other means and balance out the loss of connection and touch.
This makes me think about the role our environment plays in shaping our health. Not just the impact of those around us but the very air we breathe and water we drink.
The concept of the first 1000 days shaping our future is empowering. It's a reminder that every little action counts, from the music we play to the hugs we give. Here's to positive vibes and healthy beginnings!
Thank you Stan. You are right. We should pay much more attention to the environment that surrounds us and that influence so much our health through epigenetics.
One of the most impactful talks I have ever seen, here is the truth, it shouldn't just be the first days, this should be a life long ambition to treat everyone kindly and with respect and emapthy.
Each kick, every bedtime story-it's incredible to think that these moments sculpt a future. Glad to be aware of this and for the chance to be a sculptor in my child's journey.
Sergio's emphasis on touch and connection is heartwarming. The idea that a simple touch or hug can trigger a hormonal response that shapes our relationships and well-being is a beautiful reminder of the importance of human connection. 🤗💜
I have friends who got married and were always fighting then had kids to try and bring themselves together. It never worked and the kids always have issues. Like many others here this should be mandatory viewing for people who want children.
Those first 1000 days are like planting seeds for a lifetime garden. Proud to say my little one's garden is thriving-laughter, love, and lots of lullabies
The education of the emotion, how far we have come in understanding how this impacts the development of a child and the journey through life. Such a good talk.
I love what he says about the magic of a hug, I've always thought touch was something people craves and it's really cool to hear that yes, that is a thing!
Reflecting on my time as a single dad during those early years. It wasn't always easy, but knowing that those moments shaped my child's future health and well-being makes it all worthwhile. They turned out amazingly and I'm so proud.
As a dad, I vividly remember the excitement and nerves during my partner's pregnancy. This talk brings back memories of reading stories to the bump and playing music. Those were special times.
I'm feeling so lucky hearing all this, my partner makes enough for me to not have to work and I've been so excited for all the DIY opportunities. I can't wait to build a tiny library, crib mobile, paint murals... all the things for my bubba to have a perfect environment 🥰🥰
The mention of how even storytelling to the baby in the womb can have positive effects was so heartwarming. It’s kind of wonderful how these small actions matter.
I totally agree with this man. I've worked in child care for a long time and you can see the difference in the infants and toddlers whose parents clearly put in the time and effort before birth and after... However, I have noticed in my years that those who have had the best start pretty much directly correlates with higher socioeconomic backgrounds... So I wonder, with wages continuing to stay stagnant and the like - how are we meant to make sure the majority are given the opportunity to bring children into this world with the best possible start, when society makes it near impossible...
As a new mom, this talk resonates deeply. Every kick, every lullaby-it all feels like the building blocks of a beautiful journey. Excited to shape my tiny human's world in the best possible way.
The connectome's role in our emotions and social relationships struck a chord. It's a reminder of the importance of fostering connections and creating a nurturing environment for our children.
Thank you Sergio! So many would prefer to turn a blind eye rather than actually educate themselves that there is a lot that goes into the ensuring a life is supported in healthy ways.
Planning to introduce my little one to the wonders of nature from day one. Fresh air, greenery, and tiny footsteps-because growth happens outdoors too!!
As an 80s baby who was conceive, grew, born and raised in the culture of that era, I am grateful that we have learnt so much more about pregnancy and there are talks like this readily available for new parents. The damage to my well being, not because of poor parenting but because of lack of understanding at the time, has impacted my life horribly.
Sergio's explanation about the critical importance of the first 1,000 days of life is truly eye-opening. It's fascinating how our experiences during this period can have such a profound impact on our future health and well-being
The part about emotions during pregnancy hitting small RNA got me. We should be more mindful of our feelings, not just for our well-being but for the little ones we're shaping. A touch or a hug-simple yet powerful.
I've got grandkids now and this talk makes me think about the generational impact of our actions. It's great to see how the focus on early development has evolved over the years because there wasn't that much of it when had kids that's for sure
I had a very traumatic time during pregnancy with events that were entirely out of my control. Watching this just makes me fret about the impact of this on my child and their future and lost as I can’t undo any of it
This whole talk was such a vote of confidence for me. Planning to create a harmonious environment for our little one with music, stories, and all the love we can muster.
The process of growing a child inside of you and what that development actually looks like goes so much deeper than we know and should require so much more preparation than what happens.
Wow. Just... wow. There are so many mysteries within the process of our lives.
Indeed, it's important to be open to new experiences and opportunities.
What a great talk on the impact of the environment on early life! Thank you for sharing your research, Dr. Pecorelli.
Your achievements and awards are truly impressive, Dr. Pecorelli. Keep up the great work!
This talk really highlights the importance of a healthy environment during early development.
Your commitment to improving public health and preventing female cancers is truly inspiring.
I now understand why there's a disclaimer at the beginning of this talk. I'm a little wary of connecting Autism with a mother's negative state of mind. We need more studies and information to make this connection.
I agree with you on this one, well said man
one step at a time
I am looking forward to more of these studies if it ever happens
Being hungry or exposed to stress or abuse during this time can have a lifelong effect on a child's development. An unsafe or unhealthy environment in the first 1,000 days can affect a child's physical health in later life too.
good thing there was a disclaimer
My heart goes out to all the babies growing up in war zones or refuge camps surrounded by so much trauma and noise.
"Network Wellness" this is a very powerful and intelligent overview that allows a lot of beliefs in. This is worth sharing and I am surprised this hasn't been seen by many more people.
Thanks for sending it to me Alex, took me forever to watch it, but so good!
Agreed! I'll be sharing this with some friends of mine that are currently studying psychology.
brilliant!
i reckon! this is such important stuff!
as am I?
Now that my kids have grown, this talk makes me reflect on those early days. The sleepless nights, the lullabies, and the laughter. It's a reminder of the incredible responsibility and joy of shaping a human being.
This talk really makes you think about how important it is to support pregnant women in every way possible. Such valuable information!
There's something oddly beautiful about having 1000 days to shape a lifetime.
If you are thinking of having children, then this is a must watch!!!
I saw this talk years ago when my daughter was pregnant and passed it on to her, I actually think there might be something to it because she took it very seriously and her son is the happiest ray of sunshine you've ever seen
Only one word for this talk ::: 'AWESOME' Every parent to be needs this talk!!!
so very true!
I wish we paid attention to more studies like this, I feel like we are taking less time and care into the facilitation of life these days and it is SHOWING.
Agreed. If it isn't profitable, we don't notice it or spread the message
Recently I've read Françoise Dolto and was amazed by a fact that babies can understand everything! And now the breakthrough, babies understand everything in wombs!
sponges from conception it would seem.
Such truth in the connection between the inner world of mother, child and birth.
Why are we not shown this during our school years? seems so important.
I love this so much and I feel like some cultures inherently know this stuff already - you can see it from the way they treat their pregnant women.
"The brain and our nervous system is sensitive to all our emotions." That pretty much sums it up for me and why so many people are just living numb. Thats what you have to do when life is laid out for you.
Touch shapes the way! When you think of all the things that bring us together, its usually through emotion and touch.
I fully agree with you. Thank you
@@sergiopecorelli2508 thank you for such a wonderful talk!
Why is this flagged with a disclaimer, he's not giving bad advice - and for goodness sakes look at this mans credentials??? Good talk worth sharing!!!
seriously crazy, TED has a lot flagged these days for no reason I can see, they must think we are idiots.
@@juanlsalazar well, are we? sorry haha couldnt help myself..
it is an amazing talk.
One of the best talks I have seen!
@@harryduganesq absolutely
I'm excited to take my baby on nature adventures during those early days. Fresh air, birdsong, and a touch of sunshine-because a healthy environment isn't just indoors.
I've listened to this talk over and over again to understand how the environment impacts DNA. A must watch.
Thank you Tom! We should try to spread the word in schools....
@@sergiopecorelli2508 thanks for replying to me Sergio, love your talk, and I am watching it again now!
He actually makes so much sense in terms of talking about how much more sensitive we are when we're younger.
Touch is such a powerful thing. I have no doubt that the isolation and social distancing that many experienced over the past 2 years which has reduced our human connectiveness has had a huge psychological impact. And watching this, I wonder how it impacted expectant mothers and their children.
I’ve always loved music, and now knowing it can help my wife during her pregnancy just adds another reason to enjoy it.
The talk resonates-every word, every melody, shaping a lifetime. It's a daily commitment to creating the optimal conditions for my kid to thrive!
An incredibly smart talk that makes so much sense, if you are about to have children, then watch this talk.
Thank you Carey. I believe that all couples that want to conceive should be aware of this and benefit from what Epigenetics is telling us.
Haha Carey, I finally opened your link, yeah this is cool, the bubs on its way, december!!!
One of the most honest talks ever, if you are born from anger, thats the way your life will be.
I get this and absolutely understand it, I can see kids who came from homes where it is drama all the time, and they carry it on.
It's a really vicious cycle
Health is so much more than what our physical bodies are doing and honestly I think that our physical condition really mirrors our spiritual.
This makes me reflect on my time as a young mother and I feel super grateful for all the love and support I received at that time.
This is perfect, we are planning a family now. What knowledge to have, thank you Sergio!!
Happy to help you! And...good luck!
You really came across the very helpful informative clip. Your baby will be healthy...
it really educative to ,pregnant mothers have to watch this
One of the most in depth talks on early child hood I have ever seen, BRAVO sir.
Thank you!
I just love this guys voice lol it makes it so much more enjoyable and easy to pay attention to such complex stuff.
i know, the accent is wonderful
This is some of the best research I have ever heard about children, brilliant.
Perhaps one of the finest talks I have heard TED present, Sergio brilliant work!
Thank you Charles!
Agreed Charles.
The ‘network wellness’ he explains is something that was much needed when the world went into lockdown and isolation. So many needs not met, but this shows there are other ways to maintain wellbeing through other means and balance out the loss of connection and touch.
This makes me think about the role our environment plays in shaping our health. Not just the impact of those around us but the very air we breathe and water we drink.
A beautiful talk, that everyone should listen to, it all begins before we understand it begins. And we all need to be part of making it better.
To think of the things passed down from previous generations... Wow.
This talk just got me, so much truth happens before it happens. Live your life mindful!!!
And remember that many times our behaviors may condition the future of our offsprings.
Thank you for your comment.
@@sergiopecorelli2508 wow thanks for replying sir, really loved your talk. I am honoured.
The concept of the first 1000 days shaping our future is empowering. It's a reminder that every little action counts, from the music we play to the hugs we give. Here's to positive vibes and healthy beginnings!
Profound and important!
One of the best TEDs I have seen on conception and what it means to the child.
So much truth, look at young children from desperate situations, where this abuse, violence and stress, you can see it in them. Brilliant talk.
Thank you Stan. You are right. We should pay much more attention to the environment that surrounds us and that influence so much our health through epigenetics.
One of the most impactful talks I have ever seen, here is the truth, it shouldn't just be the first days, this should be a life long ambition to treat everyone kindly and with respect and emapthy.
I never realized how important this time was for a child and pre-born. Wonderful work wonderful talk.
Each kick, every bedtime story-it's incredible to think that these moments sculpt a future. Glad to be aware of this and for the chance to be a sculptor in my child's journey.
Sergio's emphasis on touch and connection is heartwarming. The idea that a simple touch or hug can trigger a hormonal response that shapes our relationships and well-being is a beautiful reminder of the importance of human connection. 🤗💜
I have friends who got married and were always fighting then had kids to try and bring themselves together. It never worked and the kids always have issues. Like many others here this should be mandatory viewing for people who want children.
Sadly I have seen this so many times :(

'the environment of emotions' is a term I very much look forward to spreading.
I was amazed to learn that a mother's stress and anxiety can have such long-term effects on a child's health. Definitely something to be mindful of.
How grateful I am to have seen this today, thank you, my husband and I are planning a family, this is very important to know.
the guilt i have always felt for not giving my children the best start. i will show them this so they can do better
Show them and you can heal the next generation too :)
This guy is so passionate and animated! I love it, it makes it really easy to get on board and excited about what he's saying.
The emphasis on epigenetics and environmental factors offers a profound understanding of developmental health that I'm very grateful to have found.
This TED is now one of my favorites, brilliant work.
Behaviour and lifestyle lives on through the generations, a talk you must hear.
This talk made me appreciate the small things we do daily that can have a big impact on health. Pretty inspiring stuff.
Reflecting on my time as a single dad during those early years. It wasn't always easy, but knowing that those moments shaped my child's future health and well-being makes it all worthwhile. They turned out amazingly and I'm so proud.
As a dad, I vividly remember the excitement and nerves during my partner's pregnancy. This talk brings back memories of reading stories to the bump and playing music. Those were special times.
AND... this should be taught in every school in America!

i legit came here to say pretty much all of this. it's a huge factor.
As a new mom, this talk resonates deeply. Every kick, every lullaby-it all feels like the building blocks of a beautiful journey. Excited to shape my tiny human's world in the best possible way.
This is such a smart talk, with something every one who wants a child should see.
Wonderful talk and so insightful, I don't care what TED says this should be discussed more openly, particularly with new parents.
yes more talks like this, that should be mandatory viewing for want to be parents!
I have heard this before and certainly evidence of people who I know bears this out.
Far too many people who do this
The connectome's role in our emotions and social relationships struck a chord. It's a reminder of the importance of fostering connections and creating a nurturing environment for our children.
This talk made me realize how interconnected we all are. Our actions today can affect future generations.
Music everyday, I am telling my wife (we are expecting) thats amazing!
Excellent, and even better if music is played at 432Hz
@@sergiopecorelli2405 yes I have tried that here on TH-cam and spotify

This is why I love TED talks, you always find these amazing gems. This is really enlightening and explains a lot about the struggles I had as a child.
Children born to happy parents will in turn go on to be happy parents which is wonderful. Thanks Sergio I get the connection.
There is no question, that we dont know enough, and the things we do to ourselves do affect our children long before they are born.
isn't that the truth. i dare say more than half our population shouldn't even be having kids!
It's amazing to think how the simple act of touch, like a hug, can have such a profound impact on our hormonal response and social connections.

It’s a lot of pressure to think that everything I do while pregnant could have such significant effects...
Someone shared this into my early pregnancy group and I'm so grateful! Such great advice here.

This is probably a concept that all expectant families should consider.
Yes it might be.
Brilliant work and findings!
What a fantastic talk. A lot to consider. It reminds me of the reading I've been doing on Transgenerational Trauma...
This really does explain what happened to many people I know.
The impact of our physical and emotional environments during the first 1000 days is really interesting! Definitely got me thinking.
An awesome talk, one I wish I had seen before my little guy was born.
I had a very traumatic time during pregnancy with events that were entirely out of my control. Watching this just makes me fret about the impact of this on my child and their future and lost as I can’t undo any of it
Same. Also out of my control.
The emotions are our hidden dis-ease stored in the body.
Yep, so true
This talk really made me think about how every little thing we do during pregnancy matters. It’s a bit overwhelming but also empowering.
This whole talk was such a vote of confidence for me. Planning to create a harmonious environment for our little one with music, stories, and all the love we can muster.
One of the better TED talks, emotive and articulate with important facts.
I agree, it was so informative
Very smart talk! Many things that seem so clear, yet never understood.
One of the most important talks ever on parenting....
The process of growing a child inside of you and what that development actually looks like goes so much deeper than we know and should require so much more preparation than what happens.
Bravo sir Bravo, great research great work.
Mothers' emotions connect directly to the baby! I experienced that.
