I think there is a "disconnect" between what our children need to be healthy and our government . . . Thanx PBS for bringing this to our attention. Otherwise we would think everything in our brains is just fine ! ! !
He tells it like it is in a bold and straight forward manner. When he talked about it being unrealistic for the child to be regulated when the parents are not, he said a mouth full. I work as a therapist in homes and schools and see this first hand. Until the court system holds the parents accountable for their part, this problem will never go away. He is right on the money about the preschool teachers being a great influence and we should hire the best and pay them well.
What parents need is instruction, demonstration, encouragement, and opportunities when the children are young in the hopes that they will understand what their children need and then act on this information. Waiting until the child is older and already ruined and then make the parents responsible does little to help society and does nothing to prevent problems in the first place. If our society put less emphasis on locking up criminals and put more money and programs into prevention, there would be less criminals to lock up in the first place.
My sisters young son is seriously deprived of social interaction. She blames his autism but I'm not so sure he has that. He's on very poor diet of highly processed foods, sugar, fast foods. He's never had a vegetable! He has never had a play date. She thinks he's empathic but as soon as he doesn't get his way, he punches and kicks whomever... that's not empathy. He was sent to special school for troubled boys and can't be mainstreamed anymore because of his violent behavior. She refuses to take him anywhere, refuses him any social interaction with other children and will spend her time shopping and watching tv and leaves him to play video games all day and night so he doesn't bother her. Not sure why she had him. She does not feel any accountability to providing him a healthy diet or appropriate social interactions with other children and adults. He never leaves the house. I stopped talking with her, I can't handle it. He's gonna be locked in prison one day and it doesn't need to be that way. He pitches violent fits to get his way and she gives in to quiet him. She's very jealous of my healthy child but I parent very differently. My child received a lot of social interactions in early childhood, went to daycare, had play dates, birthday parties, traveled, skiing, hiking and goes on many adventures. Now that she's a little older she enjoys horse back riding, summer camp and piano. Planning on signing her up for martial arts soon. Now she has sleepovers and loves her friends, is very popular with caring heart. I'm a single mother, her dad is an alcoholic but it really hasn't affected too much because we talk about it, talk about feelings and set boundaries with her toxic dad via the courts. We are managing it and there is no trauma or abuse, I'm very protective and she only has visits with dad supervised by me and he has to do a breathalyzer first. I have stable home and I'm very devoted as well as educated on child development. And always open to learning more.
Young children's possibilities to learn by social interactions are decreasing nowadays: 1 parent or small families and less extended families or communities to compensate that. Watching Sesame street can't replace that...
I know this is old, but the audio/video is all out of whack. I'd like to use parts of this interview for educational purposes. Is it possible to get a good copy?
Is this really a MODERN day issue? Where children back in the day doing better?? Not so sure! We have way more information today on abuse and trauma etc etc!
no it's not a modern day issue. It just gets visible due to digital informations available. It started with the end of world wars. It changed people (those who survived that collective trauma) for ever, and this is what they fed our parents with. Digital medias make these vicious circles visible, and now we are in charge to change that for better and ever
It’s impossible for a company to get what it wants most if managers have to make a choice between their own values and company priorities. slap Company
Why would you want to do that? Sesame Street has changed the idea of what we think children can comprehend, We need to stop putting nonsense in front of their senses.
Present, respectful, understanding and patient. So simple and powerful, yet sometimes a rare experience for young people.
I watched Dr Perry speak in Belfast a month after this interview at the European Society for Trauma and Dissociation conference. A total inspiration.

The dictionary is to BLAME for the way we think
Would love to see more by Dr. Perry
Fantastic!
Exceptional
Triple P Positive Parenting Program!!
Children can get a lot directly from their parents, who are involved in deep relationship.
Is there a transcript available for this interview, or is there an article I can access from Dr. Perry on this same topic?

What about watching WITH an 18 month old, Sesame Street and interacting along with it all?
What is the cure on healing? The teqnics for adults?

Why is this catogorized as 'amusement'???
This appears to be the equivalent to looking down the barrel of a loaded gun (psychologically speaking)
