  1. Makes sense. But also makes me feel devastated for my 4.5 year old who has a global developmental delay and apraxia of speech. He can’t communicate effectively enough to play with his peers and my heart breaks for him.

  2. bla bla bla…. too much bullshit from this "coaches" nowadays… people need to stop listening to so much bullshit and start living their own way….

  3. Do you think it is OK that 4 year-old children are socialising each other and not their parents or somebody they can look up to? I was never a "socially desirable" child. I always thought differently, and failed to fit in completely. Ok, the first years were harder then to others, but at university I found other people who thinks similarly. I met my best friend at university, not earlier. Also, I learnt what I say: not to "live in somebody" but to live on my own. I mean on this to do things for myself and not for to seek attention and acceptance of others. I still learn a lot every day about life and myself, and I am happy as I am.
    What you told about the faces a bad children meet in his whole life: It does not matter if he accepted by others or not. Most of the people who can accept him in a group is shallow, probably because the model they were grown up. I found the values created by 4+ children socialised on their own most of the cases shallow. So, why should we teach our children to fight to become a member of a group that just does not worth anything? I am curious what you are thinking about it.

  4. It’s easier to tell someone to hold back slightly than to push them forward. You can’t teach motivation, but you can guide passion and talent in the right direction.

  5. { إِنَّمَا یَنۡهَىٰكُمُ ٱللَّهُ عَنِ ٱلَّذِینَ قَـٰتَلُوكُمۡ فِی ٱلدِّینِ وَأَخۡرَجُوكُم مِّن دِیَـٰرِكُمۡ وَظَـٰهَرُوا۟ عَلَىٰۤ إِخۡرَاجِكُمۡ أَن تَوَلَّوۡهُمۡۚ وَمَن یَتَوَلَّهُمۡ فَأُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ }
    [Surah Al-Mumtaḥanah: 9]

    Dr. Mustafa Khattab

    Allah only forbids you from befriending those who have fought you for ˹your˺ faith, driven you out of your homes, or supported ˹others˺ in doing so. And whoever takes them as friends, then it is they who are the ˹true˺ wrongdoers.

  6. These social interacting issues also affects autistic children very negatively . As they age they get left behind by their cohort. Especially boys.

  7. I guess the single biggest responsibility of a parent is to save a child from himself. Nothing more, nothing less is needed. Because if that is done, the child will thrive on his own. However, that does mean saving him from things that are generally applicable to all of us humans and also from things particularly applicable to him.

  8. Judging how society is now, most children from the last generation must have stayed in isolation until the age of 5. They have then raised their kids the same way.

  9. Dear Professor Jordan Peterson thank you very much for explaining the role of parents in creating child social skills. The balance between aggressive and compassionate aspect of human psychic which you advocate for really appeals to me. ❤

  10. You can use your talents as a parent, seeking the best means of becoming successful in your job of promoting your children's well-being.

    What higher calling is there than to be a "good loving parent," more especially if you take as your role model the Divine Father-Mother Consciousness which is entirely directed at growth, nutrition of mind and body, healing of mind and body, regeneration of mind and body, protection in every form and the fulfillment of every need of mind, emotions, body—within a system of Law and Order and Unconditional Love.

    As a parent—have you measured up to the Consciousness of the Divine Source of Being?

    Think of families where emotional and mental abuse is rife. This is an abhorrent use of "mental power." It rebounds to the abuser in many, many ways—ill-health, sickness, addiction, depression and loss of self-esteem.

    However, do not use your brains, intellect, insight, knowledge and education as a platform from which to criticize, judge or condemn others who do not measure up to your own standards of efficiency or goodness in any area of your life.

    At the same time—since to criticize, judge and condemn is as natural as breathing to the human ego—do not attempt to deny your perceptions of what might be improved. To do so is to deny the reality of the evolutionary process.
