Drawing from her experience as a mother and a Family Counselor, Diana Eidelman shares her insights into challenging and often contradictory experiences that define parenting in the modern world. By drawing on keen insights into the psychology of both parent and child, Diana encourages listeners to consider the importance of active interaction, emotional stability, sustenance and physical touch to both infants and parents during the early, critical stages of child development.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Nice video. Many parents are not aware of the importance of touch to early brain development.
Who is here in July 2020?! Small YouTuber with content for mamas trying to grow my channel šā¤ļø
Parenting is terrifying.. maybe because I study psychology and early childhood education!
I'm truly debating if I want children.
We're overpopulated and not having children sounds selfish to society.
However, having kids also sounds selfish since none of us asked to be here.
I'm a teacher, maybe I should stick with my career.
I have the opportunity to see children grow and learn without them being mine.
Here after a week as a new parent. This was really helpful
I'm a stay at home dad of a new borne and this is still so much easier than construction…..

Truth!
"We adore but we are at war"
Wow. So because you can't watch TV like you wanted you are at war with your child? And everything you try to do is ruined by your baby? Honestly, this approach sounds like selfish parenting
As a first time parent, this is so helpful and reassuring. Thank you. And the comment section is so thoughtful and useful too. great video and community section.
That is Why I never wanted kids. Its too stressful.

Thank you ā„ļø
Well I hope that like any healthy spirited mother you would be proud of her even if she did not have children. If she had told you that she wants to focus on her career, travel, date or live her life to the fullest without kids I do hope you would've been proud also. As a mother. Because as long as you are fertile, making babies is easy. Raising them is another story. Women tend to live in a fairytale world posting about their kids on FB flaubting it just like the Watts did and look what behind closed doors happened. You cannot assume life is perfect by looking at what people post. Of course they only post the good stuff. Women are free now. We are not baby making machines. We can adopt. Take our own decisions and still be strong and hard working. This world is insane. Tons of kids need to be adopted. We don't need to make more babies. It's selfish.

Hearing this portion, I looked to see possibly how old the video was. Such a difference in the perception and state of being women present now from 7-10 years ago.
I'm already 22 weeks pregnant. Right now I am anxious about how to take care of the future little creature. Her experience brings tears to my eyes and also encourages me to embrace my boy and become a good mother. Thank you very much!
This is incredibly helpful at the moment, and perhaps forever. We're currently enduring the newborn phase (3 weeks) and he's ultra fussy. We find ourselves constantly reaching for solutions and reassurance and this video/talk gives me hope and catharsis with a fresh perspective.
When I texted positive to the Herpes virus Few years ago I was very disappointed in myself, and almost gave up in life, But all thanks to Dr Igudia on YouTube who cured my Herpes Virus with his natural herbs medication which I ordered from him.
Based on recent brain research, I would add an extra T to the GIFT acronym – Talk! Language develop occurs through the social interactions between parent-caregiver and the child. It is through language that children build more brain connections leading to stronger thinking skills, problem solving skills, and social/emotional skills.
I do not agree with the distinction between developed and undeveloped countries, it is the same no matter the country
Dear diaryā¦ā¦ today I avoided getting showered upon by the urine!
For someone who brags about working in education!… I wonder what is the difference with the parents in developing and developed countries?!!.. They are human beings too arent they?!.. She talks about technology and material advantages those dont have anything to do with raising a baby.. Raising a baby is a strictly related to human interaction.. This woman had a perfect material life before having a baby.. Guess what having a child is beyond that and anything we could think so dont make a difference in between ppl in one part of the world thatn the other we are all the same and the work of raising a baby and the feelings we experience are the same for all parents… She should educate herself on being a human being
Up at 5 am after the 3rd blowout from my baby. Really needed to hear this, thank you ā¤
I relate to this so much. The first 6 months were the hardest adaptation period I've ever experienced. To become a mother is almost to go through metamorphosis. My son was "high needs" also. He was born looking around, blue eyes wide open, taking in everything. The nurses called him "bright eyes" which is coincidentally something my husband called me in our very early days š¤
You want an alert baby…my son met all of his milestones early and at 16 months old is the happiest, cuddliest, and smartest baby I've ever known. He plays independently. He can problem solve. He amazes me. And he's still just as alert lol š¤£ he literally doesn't stop moving until he sleeps, his energy gives me energy!
Amazing, great ted!
I needed this right now ā¤
This was so beautiful and Iām glad I watchedš
She hit the nail on the head.. 4 months pp and she precisely described my experiences.. and happy to know I'm not the only one experiencing these.. Love for this tribe of women..
This is so interesting
Check out the book by Dr. Ted Nugent, "Your baby is speaking to you. Ninety (90%) percent of human communication is non-verbal in both directions." It is why I do what I do, teach "Baby Whispering." I have three courses that help those first couple of years. Sign Language, watching their body language un understanding combine with Infant Massage (healthy touch that releases oxytocin in both the baby and the parent) dramatically supports the bonding and connection. I just love her talk!
This was reassuring for me because I am very physically affectionate and I was neglected of physical and general attention/affection from my parents growing up and a big worry of mine was that I was giving TOO MUCH affection and touching to my baby, I worried I was smothering her or that she will turn out a certain unbalanced way from it. She loves it though and I love giving it, so I'm glad to hear how important touching is š„²
