Bruce D. Perry: Social & Emotional Development in Early Childhood [CC] 

It should be mandatory for every parent of small children to listen to this.

I am a foster parent and it is challenging at times. I read your book - The Boy Raised as a dog - it gave me sooo much hope for my foster child. As I see all of the behaviors and educational challenges related to my foster child, I gained hope as I read your book. My child had a challenging day yesterday, I needed to listen to your lectures - thus giving me more hope for my child's future. Your lectures and book reminds me to not give up on my child.

Wow I haven’t even finished the talk and already love him!! He’s on point! Look at the eastern cultures and the concept of family … it’s specific to not immediate family but extended family plus the community … they literally live by the concept of “it takes a village”

Bruce Perry is amazing. I was assigned his book for a class in my education major class. I can’t stop thinking about it, talking about it, and reading it!

After watching this video of Dr. Bruce D. Perry, which highlights the importance of growth during early childhood years, where a child learns the lessons for their whole life. child develop socially physically emotionally through that period of time which is really sensitive period of their life. he placed us(educators) and parents as the game changers, where we can change the old patterns of child development. I personally and professionally felt more responsible now as an early childhood educator after listening to this video. because the interactions and experiences a small child is going to have with me and his parents are the base of his holistic development. like he tells that 'development adversity is a powerful determinant of health(multiple domains) and in global wellness'. which means relationships and positive interactions are must for child development. if we invest as educators in the young ones then definitely this will boost upcoming adult's health too. likewise, we can contribute in creating a world full of creativity, humanity and productivity.

Dr. Perry- thank you for your scholarship and sharing your knowledge. ❤

Listening to this takes me back to my Early Childhood classes ❤️ I recently finished taking my major classes two years ago and I remember listening to his videos in my toddler & infant classes

I think there is a huge gap in development. And that is awareness. What ever means you have, what is it to the individual who has no idea or couldn’t care less? Free will to be

Every teacher need to know this in the schools. All should take this before teaching it should be mandatory for even parents and professionalsmm

0:55 wow. That's something. Just admitting that one is shy. I'll try that, in my public speaking. Thank you

Bruce Perry suggest that unless we are intentional with condemning racism it will not perspire away from our midst. I like this guy. Racism has heart my kids, This human challenge is close to my heart.

Now I know why the second book is not as immersive as the first one. Thanks for that info, too :) And thank you for your work and effort. I cannot say how much I appreaciate it, because it would break the internet :D Thank you Dr. Perry!!

If we all listened to him, we would be so much better!

Love, Love, Love this man's work!

Hey I love this so much and this information needs to reach people.

Great lecture! How cool was the timing of the child saying "uh oh!"

Thank you Dr Bruce D. Perry for your important work.

An incredible job describing the facts clearly & unapologetically! 🙏🙏

I love your talk. Thank you so much. I am right there on board. Have been for decades. Plus my profession is in the field of early childhood. The one thing I was uncomfortable with was the reference to mother and not father. We really have to get away from this blame it on the mother mentality. Quite outdated. While mothers are still the majority when it comes to primary caregivers, fathers have really stepped up to the plate in the last 10 to 15 years or so. I think the only reference I heard to fathers was the example of the whole family out to eat and they were all on their devices. Please take this into consideration. Thank you for the work you are doing to raise everyone's awareness about social emotional connections in early childhood and the impacts it has for their lifetimes and future generations life times. Kudos! I am proud to be in the trenches.

I love him!!

Thank you Dr. Perry.....I have read your books....your experience, knowledge & intuition is enlightening!

Very engaging speech with some astounding figures that we simply are unaware of. I am constantly in awe of how bright and inquisitive children are, yet many of them decline when not engaged in the right manner. Great video!

Fascinating talk! Thank you!

Thanks for this video. I didn't know Dr.Bruce, and I know him now thanks to a book of Alice Miller about the childhood trauma (Project nonspank). It recalls very well the importance of the childhood mistreatments in character and in destiny. Maybe today there are an inversion of values with technology where people confuse the means with ends and lose the sense of life. We should recover the values that make possible progress.In USA are life and liberty. Thanks too to Dr.Bruce.

Brilliant talk, so thought provoking, and so very important for the future of our species.

04:49 Croatians pride for inventing the tie/cravat. Story goes in the 17 century during the 30 years war the French saw Croatian soldiers on horseback wearing some sort of neckerchief (tied by their girlfriends or wives back home) and it became fashionable and called a la Cravat (like a Croat).

Maravilhoso. Estou lendo seu livro, é impactante. Descobri meu propósito de vida! Obrigado!

I love your talk and I wish that all parents and caregivers would watch this! I am wondering about the suggestion of what is best for my son. To live near my family even though I don't find that they are good role models and don't see eye to eye on sensitive loving parenting or move, but work on finding close friends who have the same parenting style?

I find your comment above Journey from birth to consciousness -none of us recalls it, to be untrue I can not only remember the last months while in my mother's womb and some of the things she planed to do, or was thinking at the time but also remember like it was yesterday , when she went into labor and the moment i was coming into the world as it became quite bright, but then again that was me, maybe there are others to.

Great segment , True focus towards Children growth , and the future of our World.Thank You for the Teachings.Bless

Wonderful!!! Just shared it with friends a teachers.

We live in a society that does not value children and families. Your data re: early childhood education is well established. But very few parents can access it. When I was young and single, I taught preschool, which I loved. But I couldn’t afford to live on what I was making. Now as a single mother, I can afford it even less. ECE must be subsidized in order for it to be equitable. A subsidy for parents to stay home and raise their kids isn’t a bad idea either.

Am i the only one who feels like it is morally reprehensible that we need to have big conferences to get the message across that you should love your children, or at the very least, not traumatize them?

Thank you

Inspiring.

I am primary caregiver for a critical care 11 year old boy, and we are using the Bruce Perry model of caring for him. We being the Ministry for Children and Families and his care team of myself, the contractor, his teachers and his youth care workers. When he was younger he was not nurtured by his parents and he was abused. He was bounced around from the age of 1 and a half between care homes other than 3 years he spent living with his Aunt and her family from when he was 6 till he was 9. His aunt did the best she could however was given little help financial or respite from the ministry as they don't do that for family members. His aunt had to work full time on top of trying to raise him. He did learn manners from her but he has no empathy at all. When he came to me he had very good manners and tried at least to pick up after himself at home. Since he has been allowed to do, eat, say, etc. exactly as he pleases, following the Bruce Perry model he has gotten progressively worse. The manners he had when he arrived are now nowhere to be seen. He realizes no one will challenge him and he takes full advantage of that. Is this really helping him in the long run? You already have a child with a huge sense of entitlement, who is manipulative and feels his workers are there only for him to use as slaves. He says this. He is brilliant intellectually but not so much socially. He does not have to endure any consequences for his actions so therefore feels he should have what he wants when he wants and becomes extremely violent when he doesn't get his way. He is 5 feet tall and 150 lbs so when he punches and kicks us, we hurt. There is nothing done for us when this happens. What are we to do? He only goes to school a half hour a day because he was violent at school and they have for good reason a zero violence policy. He runs everyone around him ragged. What is the answer for a child like this?

Thank you for all you’re hard work! You’ve helped me, and alot of friend so know , how to understand and situate our experiences!

Thanks to Dolores Kohl, Lou Bank and the Chicago Humanities Festival for this opportunity.

So if the environment was not adequate, how do you repair fractured socio-emotional development?

Fantastic Video!!! Anyone and everyone could benefit from watching this.

good information ❤

Can these skills be lost if they are not used? I feel like there are plenty of older people out there are who are losing their skills and humanity because of too much time spent on social media.

Based on thus information, it confirms that multilingual individuals are often more intelligent than monolingual. I believe!

Thank you for this validation

Great presentation and I do not wish to disparage Perry but I do want to make some points concerning the studies presented around 27:00-30:00. Both studies were published in 2009, 2010. According to google Wikipedia the first iPhone was released in 2007, meaning the specific ramifications of smartphone use in childhood development likely aren't well recorded by the studies. Additionally for the study that does a look-back from the 1930's to the 2000's, it seems apparent that the cohorts tested would be "baby boomers", "gen Xers", and maybe older "millenials". These are people who, yes, grew up with T.Vs, but not the internet or smartphone. Then Perry uses the example of "selfie culture" with modern day kids to illustrate his point about self-interestedness. Do you see the issue? This phenomenon has been going on for at least 100 years according to the papers but there's still this tinge of "kids these days" in his explanation. "We have 18 year old kids with the social emotional skills of 6 year olds". Those kids grew up! They're business leaders and politicians! Steve Jobs was one of these damaged people! This isn't a problem for the next generation, it IS US NOW. EDIT: from the abstract of the first study: Two cross-temporal meta-analyses find large generational increases in psychopathology among American college students (N = 63,706) between 1938 and 2007 on the MMPI and MMPI-2 and high school students (N = 13,870) between 1951 and 2002 on the MMPI-A. They tested college students in 2007...

Great presentation. Full of helpful, insightful information. Questions, when he is talking about the DSM and ADHD, at the very end, isn't that true about all DSM disorders, that, for example, MDD (depression) in the DSM is just a list of symptoms and descriptors absent a "disease" process? So is he limiting that to ADHD or is he making a commentary on the DSM? Asking so that I can better understand his comment.

educators !! watch this

well this explains a lot about why this generation is so fucked up with drugs and addictions and why so many are so immature. So the solution is , more connections I guess. I need hugs

Wow, can someone send this to the lockdown people?

Interesting, isn't this the way life was before Public School was mandatory? I believe this is how the Amish currently live. It takes a village and they are all about community.

team playing where trust should and can be a mainstream thing in life but I dont think people are able to grasp this because for some reason many brains are programmed to manipulate and to always try to be one up on another. do you think this can change we are in a world and their are generations coming up and they need to learn that if one falls we all fall and because people are different in interpreting words the fight and flee gland gets enlarged and when that happens it causes an uncomfortable environment. Bullying will b a thing of the eradicated but because peoples brains havent exercised more of their brain this just might be only in theory or a dream state type of thought procedure.

Development doesn’t end with early childhood

Typos corrected from previous post. While I have the utmost respect for Bruce, the work he has done and continues to do is vital for the human species, however, what he does not appear to recognize is the fact that the vast majority of us come from moderate to extreme abusive early childhood backgrounds and, therefore the fatalism not intended but nevertheless resoundingly conveyed, early death heart disease and so forth depresses and dampens and leaves (or can leave) one without much hope for the possibility of a healthy life, physically, emotionally-mentally. His "empathy" as he perhaps himself stems from the "right side" of the camp of those who come from early more "salubrious backgrounds" is severely or at a minimum greatly lacking. That is why I and many others turn with great hope to the brilliant and courageous work of those who come from early deprivation, abuse and hell, such as the troubled but brilliant empathic psychoanalyst, Alice Miller. Her brilliant works have brought to bear, with the not only possibility but probability of gaining access to early childhood injuries, overcoming and "re-wiring" if you will, towards greater integration. In fact, I would argue, in an upcoming book that it is precisely those who have suffered amidst the most unspeakable hell that have in a very real sense (artists, poets, psychologists et al) contributed to the greatest depth of awareness, consciousness and empatthic growth of the species. Paradoxically it may seem, although not really, It is those who have been there and have overcome and have created from their layers of unbearable and unspeakable pain combined with their soul of genius that know and contribute the most to the collective consciousness of the species!

Real talk 28:45

The quotation at 34:55 ("I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.") was never expressed by Albert Einstein. See Snopes.

21:51 positiv Feedback?

Any future parent should take parental classes.

Childhood developmental trauma impacts how our brains and bodies physically develop

Maladaptive behavior must first be exposed in order to choose those behaviors.

It takes a village.

so the internet says?

I'd love to see the 2023 data on empathy and psychopathy markers.

I have a question...in regard to the brain synopsis creating words, what if you think in scenes/pictures? Is this just a neuro difference or could it be trauma related. Thank You.

👏👏👏👏🕊🕊🕊🕊💖💖💖💖

can someone summarize this video for me

To summarize: Raise your children in a rich social environment encompassed with love and support. Limit their use on technology and expose them to the world.

Why is there so much crime in Chicago

i begged my wife to watch this.

I disagree with one of the points he made: A human being is not only what his or her parents passed on or did not pass on. We are not copies of our parents with something added or taken away. The biggest influence on people apart from parents and upbringing is actually peer influence (other kids and people), especially later in adolesence and in life. So we are at least as much influenced by our environment and interactions as by our parents. So bad characteristics as "racism" or" misogyni"or "violence" can be aquired on your own during life just as much as it could be "passed on" by parents.

This was posted 8 years ago. Look at our world today. Corporations have ruined generations of people.

I'm a retired multi skilled engineer, I can't get my son to take any interest in my projects, he spends his life in his room on his computer, after 5 years a collage still he has no idea of what to do about a job, he is now 24 with no direction or interests.

Anyone else get Jerry Seinfeld vibes from this guy?

I feel like everyone wants to be glorified in some way. 😂😂😂😂 is this yours?

plus he killed is ex wife at stanford Universitys church 1974

Bruce Perry is amazing. I was assigned his book for a class in my education major class. I can’t stop thinking about it, talking about it, and reading it!
