each and every one of us here today and
took the world as a baby where we were
unable to walk talk feed or clothe
ourselves babies are born with a natural
drive to seek contact with adults that
they believe have the ability to protect
and comfort them they do this through
use of social releases which are
behaviors displayed in order to attract
attention from a caregiver includes
things such as crying and smiling making
that first connection with the infant is
more important than many people believe
it to be as it provides the fundamentals
of how that child creates later
relationships caregivers are extremely
important in a child’s emotional mental
and physical well-being as they prefer
as they help us to explore the world
around us and understand concepts such
as trust there are approximately four
births per second in this world which
means by the time I’ve finished speaking
to you today there will be over that one
thousand to two hundred and ninety new
infants although babies are extremely
reliant on adults they are also
extremely clever and can do things such
as from as young as being in the room
they can identify their own native
language from others at as young as
thirty months old babies are able to
mimic and mirror adults and other
children’s behavior this helps them to
learn this behavior is called
interaction of synchrony and it
strengthens the attachments that they
have with others but what really is
attachment attachment is a two-way bond
between an infant and a caregiver where
each believes the other to be important
for their emotional security attachment
can be broken down into many different
types the three main types are secure
attachment insecure assistant and
insecure avoidin these can be identified
through observation of an infant and how
they behave with a caregiver when they
are reunited with the caregiver and how
they act in front of strangers in a
study conducted by Van Eisen Don he
found that 75 percent of infants in the
UK are securely attached
this is the highest percentage of
securely attached infants across the
nine countries that he studied the
results he found I can show the copra
depth variations and how different
parents choose to adopt different forms
of parenting with their infants so I’d
like you to take a moment and just think
when was the last time that you saw an
infant holding a mobile phone or a
tablet of some kind and now think when
was the last time that you saw a parent
holding a device in front of an infant
and not talking to them children are
learning to play up because they know
they’ll be rewarded with a mobile phone
to save their parents the embarrassment
of being the one that can’t quiet their
kid but what do I know I’m just a kid
myself so I’m not here to teach you how
to parent but I do know is that we are
currently living in a world where
children are gonna face issues such as
isolation we’re living in a world where
people would rather fake a phone call
than look up and smile at a stranger
where people would rather judge than
understand others and where teenagers
would rather film an incident for their
social media than use their phones to
call for help as children on this earth
we look up to adults we see what they’ve
invented we see them sticking headphones
in ignore their problems around them and
so we copy them many parents see others
hand their children devices and so they
copy we seem to be afraid to stand up
and lead down a new path we seem to be
afraid of being judged and we’re afraid
thoth children know and teach them to
stop relying on devices children require
interaction not internet they require
comfort not computers an increasingly
large issue that we are facing today is
mental health mental health is riddled
with this negative stigma one in four
people suffer from mental health issues
this includes children studies have
identified trends in children’s mental
well-being and how they are supported by
schools parents and friends children
with
are able to provide security and comfort
find they’re able to cope with mental
health better they deal with stress and
are able to express their emotions in a
much clearer way children who feel
unable to express themselves often
suffer in other ways they are likely to
have formed a disorganized attachment
this is rarely seen and can be
identified in a way that children are
unable to express themselves and often
act in frightened manners this type of
attachment is usually formed from a lack
of a caregiver or deprivation of a
secure environment but if there is only
one thing that you take away with you
today let it be this as the experienced
people here on this earth it’s up to us
to educate the next generation to teach
them how to form lasting relationships
with each other and to help humans
but
I say this time then often when things
go wrong and then you get them right and
you get even bigger warmth and it bigger
supports are well done technology it
happens yeah good yeah you feel good and
so what is it about the Ted experience
that that you like if you’re a bit of a
fan I just love that there’s an
organization dedicated to people
spreading such inspirational ideas and
and you watch Ted videos from all over
the place yeah everywhere I watched a
lot of TEDx or just Ted in general yeah
yeah what’s your favorite one the one
that you watched earlier I really
enjoyed that one and I’ve seen one about
making stress your best friend that was
quite inspirational Wow okay I think you
come and tell your friends about yeah
first of all I have to educate them what
Ted is so I normally give a TED talk
about that and then ideas quite a lot of
the time they don’t seem interested and
then they actually go wow yeah last year
did you see last year this year right
okay is there anybody here in the
audience who wants to come up and speak
know anybody who is already thinking
about if there’s a TED next year here or
wherever it might be that they want to
be part of that we’ve got some hounds up
already the outlet town is okay
brilliant and in terms of your topic so
um what is it about you said you were
passionate about passionate for children
about children what is it about children
that brings that passion out of you I
just think they’re the kind of the next
generation they’re going to be the ones
leading the world in a couple of years
so it’s up to us as teenagers adults and
all that to look after them nurture them
raise them and to get it right yeah yeah
so what would you or if you could walk
into a maternity ward and as a mom a dad
a baby what would be what would be your
word of advice what if you sort of had
to put up in one sentence what were your
word
advice to them don’t be scared about
mocking up because everyone’s different
and just or you can do is try your best
and I’m sure they will learn your learn
it’s all everyone learning together
everyone learning together because
parents we all muck up it’s it’s what we
do with the children survive okay and
this side and we’ve all seen it where
you’ve got there’s the baby in the pram
sometimes facing that way not that way
and then the whoever’s pushing the
primary sort of on their on their phone
or whatever or maybe the babies on the
phone as well what have you have you
ever got as far as tapping them on the
shoulder and asking them to think about
what they’re doing I think a few
relatives with younger kids I’ve often
like when I used to babysit I would kind
of not want to turn the TV on or I’d sit
down with the board game or read or
something like that rather than get a
device out but I mean devices are
helpful especially all the apps and
stuff that we’re getting these days very
clever but there’s also a time for
interaction so you said when you babysit
you’re walking the talk then you it’s
television off the games off can you sit
down with them and okay anything one
final thing you want to say what what
you want is what you want us to go away
thinking anything have a nice day all
these kids here that I’ve learnt and
become friends with that was so talented
and to get up on here today is just so
amazing so thank you for being here listening
