Your Kids Are Exactly Who They Think They Are... Right.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is asked whether there is a link between the rise of behavioral disorders in children and the current changes in society, or if we are just more aware. He expands on the question, detailing the attitude we have allowed children to carry into adulthood, the lack of proper identity play through development, the drugs and mutilation wreaking havoc on our youngest generation, and the dismal worldview that demoralizes and stagnates societal progress.

When my daughter was three, she wanted to grow up to be a mermaid. We said Ok, but we did not have her legs surgically modified and keep her in fish tank. She's 33 now, married with kids and works in marketing. I think she's glad we kept her a human till she was old enough to make an informed mature decision.

When I was 8, I was diagnosed with Autism back in the 90s.
While all the kids were playing sports at Recess and Lunch, I stayed in the library, reading novels, playing computer games or trading through comic books.
This was perfectly normal behaviour, but because I wasn't doing what all the other were doing, I was branded as different and treated as if I was a problem.

That was the identity that was given to me. I was apparently stupid, and lazy, and irresponsible, because that's how all people with Autism were supposedly. I was so confused.

It wasn't until my early 20s when I realised I had no real idea about who I was - and partly with Peterson's help, transformed my life. I found jobs, completed two Degrees, bought a house and even got engaged last week (yay). And with some therapy, I realised my parents and teachers had really no honest to God idea about what they were doing. Any deviation from the norm, and they'd just start randomly throwing labels around. And like I said, this was the 90s.

Life is seriously a mediation between your wants and the environment.

And now I see countless friends and family members my age labelling themselves with virtually every acronym under the sun - ASD, ADHD, ADD, PTSD, OCD. It's trendy now, it's the new thing. We have a generation of Millennials, and some Gen Z, absolutely clueless about how to operate in wide society because they were never permitted to introspect in their youth. Parents wanted children smart enough to get by, but dumb enough to do what they said. That's not a child. That's a pet.

As a woman who was deceived by the career mantra, I approve this message. Just gave birth last week at 41 years of age. The last thing I want to do is return to work. I want to stay at home and have more kids. Trying to see how to make that happen by cutting down expenses and encouraging my hubby to pursue his career goals . I’ve loved Peterson’s message for a long time but now it’s actually a necessary voice in my home.

I’ve been struggling with how to balance technology and faith in our home, and ‘Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children For a Godly Life’ provided some amazing insights that we’ve already started using

[DeborahJeanMonkman]

One thing I have learned about adults in the care of children, they need us more than I ever realized. Not to be overbearing or indoctrinating. Just to love, mentor, guide and support. A sharing of wisdom, more important than I previously thought.

Recently, I've noticed that a lot of my peers on social media have been accusing Peterson of being a horrible person. As someone who has watched and been tremendously helped by Peterson's lectures in the past 3-4 years, there's no way I'm ever going to believe that. I am grateful with my life, and I hope to live one that is sufficient of the mercy that has been given to me.

My wife, 44, has been in a professional career since college. Successful career, makes 6 figures, three kids in their teens. The last few years she has been asking me more and more “can I quit my job I don’t want to do this anymore”.

I’m of course like of course you can, we need to make adjustments to life style and that’s ok I’m all for your happiness and I am happy to keep working and make money for us to live and you can stay home and change to a new life style.

It’s just been interesting to watch her view point change from the 90s you must have a competitive job as a woman and now she is realizing it’s not important.

I was very unhappy for many years when I held down jobs outside the home. My husband made pretty good money but I felt like I had to bring in money too. When I finally had had enough of jackass employers and quit... what a relief. Come to find out my husband liked me being at home and feeling better. I like having a nice home and gardening and doing all the woman things. I do not like dealing with the crap out there today.

As a fellow kid, I am incredibly grateful for my parents. They have taught me many things I cherish and look up to. :]

The MySpace “about me” section was my generation’s first introduction to identity, it was difficult for me to fill in and to this day I cringe at the thought of putting labels on myself. Today kids wear their “about me” section on their sleeves; as their pronouns, ever changing - experimenting - and revising based on the reaction of their target audience. But they’ll come to the conclusion later: how others perceive you is your true identity …not what you declare yourself to be.

Jordon is a breath of fresh air for living in this world that I no longer understand

Imagine spending decades becoming a genius in several fields, just to have to argue with someone about gender

Woman are unhappy because they are working now like men. They are also dying younger now because of the stress of work.

The point that Dr. Peterson makes about poverty keeping people from having a broader perspective is profound. I've witnessed an effect of it: visiting Mexico years ago, I was dismayed by the litter - plastic bags were drifting everywhere. My own home state of WA had for years the slogan "Keep Washington Green" and it was rare to see roadside litter. But that was then and this is now: as more people, whether they are migrants or not, fall into despair, the litter level has also increased. It's probably a barometer of not just disregard, but desperation.

Thank you, Dr. Peterson. I am still amased at how good it is to see you up and fighting again. I wish you the best

If I took seriously all the whimsical considerations my daughter could be, she wouldn't be standing with us today.

From one moment to the next she is:

A cat
A dog
A cow
A bird
A BOY
A pirate
A nurse
A doctor

Hell... It's like she's ROLEPLAYING, which is INTEGRAL TO HER DEVELOPMENT as a human being, taking all these roles gives her context and she willingly puts herself in the shoes of the animals and those who work, I feel that's a good way to built empathy and appreciation for life.

I seriously don't understand why some parents take the words of their children so literally. Our jobs is to teach them lots of stuff, and one of those teachings is loving themselves and the body they came into this world.

I'm a substitute teacher. I see a lot. I dearly appreciate children at all ages. What I see is a need for importance or difference for their autonomy and significance. Weekly, with older children in general, they want to pull me in to respond to their Identify specifications. Today, a young man said, "Hey, I'm gay."
I said, "ok, good for you." Then trying to gaslight me, he says, "Don't you want to know my other pronouns?"
I said, "No, just your name because I won't be talking about you, so what name do you prefer?"
He said, "Oh, you don't care about my pronouns? I'm putting you on Twitter.
I said, sounds like you are very important. He said, "I am...over 1, 000 followers.
Good for you.
I said, "You are who you think you are. Why should I care? Are you more upset about that I don't care and I believe you can live the life you want and Identify the way you want and that's good for you, but I don't have to care either way how you live your life? Isn't that what you want? Why should I care? So what name would you like me to use?
Kinda sad

Out of the thousands of JP videos I've seen, this one is top ten. Wow.

You precisely crystallized ideas I've had bouncing around in my head for years. I had put the connections together, but I was still knee-deep in refining it enough to explain them.

Im not a mom yet but I am a housewife, and although I hated my office job, I also hated being at home. And then my husband atarted his own business and started taking me to work with him, and I loved it! And I realized that working in the office and staying home (as i had experienced those things) was the same - being alone all day in a poorly lit space, doing tasks that don't mean a lot, loosing your mind. Going to work with my husband has helped us get closer because we see each other working and help each other accomplish things, and we're together and he expresses his appreciation that I'm there. I still do house stuff and that's fine, but im so glad I get to look forward to being with him and being helpful to him on days when we work together. It gives me a lot of purpose and joy to be outside, working with my hands, being next to him, and knowing that he appreciates what i do. And i can appreciate him more, having awareness of his workload that I previously didn't have.

"all social relations are negotiations about identity" "identity is not subjective" i agree wholeheartedly.
