Almost teared up when she said toddlers can begin to sense empathy, because my 1.5 year old saw/heard me coughing (I was choking on my spit lol) and he immediately walked over and started rubbing my back. 🥰

QI, IQ and EQ etc are no doubt essential. But never forget the most crucial which everyone need to have in their hearts is love, compassion, altruism, morality and justice.

[yanglan]

If you ask me, “make the most of it in life” is a universal skill-for both grownups and children-in itself

[austinthornton]

All of these skills require dedicated parenting - which the corporate world undermines by demanding all of the parents time.

[Tinyteacher]

This is important knowledge for me as a grandparent to a preschooler! Thank you!

[totalbliss]

Confidence is one of the most important qualities. The ability to go after whatever they envision without a feeling of apprehension.

[zibah]

Thank you. I am on my journey of reparenting, relearning new patterns that i missed out on as a child. This was insightful.

Me - self awareness, self control, focus, attention,
We - empathy, collaboration, active listening, communication, perspective taking

[arielsmith]

Wow this video holds such brutal brutal honesty but that’s what I need.
Me skills - mindfulness.
We skills - relationship skills, corporation
Why? Inquisitiveness, the important thing is to never stop questioning
Will- can do, drive and determination, grit, perseverance, inquisitiveness motivation
Wiggle- physical and intellectual health can be hand in hand, try not to stop creating, it’s okay to work hard when your not feeling well but give wiggle room when you absolutely need it

Wobble- face, over come, learn failure. Adapt. Fail now, fail often, fail forward.

What if — possibilities, creativity, don’t limit their potential.

[littlelady]

This is so true. One of the reasons I am totally into gameschooling. We allow our learners to be children while giving them opportunity to explore and learn from outside experiences.

[ppha]

Videos like these should be made mandatory to all new/upcoming parents. Imagine what the next future generations would look like....more peace, more love, more of what humanity has to offer.

[sujathakorlam]

Wow. Amazing.
The first six years of child's life is very important before commencing their formal education . And Parents must put an effort not only in their nutritional nourishment but also in their brain nourishment.

[wisdomwisdom]

So important, thank you so much.
The importance of this message is, strive, choose, and grow. Wiggle and wobble simply means to STRIVE, if this element does not grow in the child, it is hard to achieve anything. Awesome job thank you so much.

[jamjari]

really inspiring. i started applying some of your techniques with my own very spirited children and noticed an immediate difference. fantastic. standing ovation!

[sudhasrikanth]

What an awesomely inspiring speech!! So very relevant! Can resonate with all the Qi skills listed by Dr. Jana, so accurately and simply shared. Every word spoken is precious and rightly placed. Brilliant… standing ovation! Salute🙏

[taylorjohnson]

Self management skills and problem solving are absolutely critical. For success in a future were vast amounts of information and technology. It's what you do with that information and the ability to navigate and be aware of details.

[TyffanyHoward]

I don't have children; however, my inner child survived, and I'm so grateful for her. This was an amazing talk! Thank you!

[terlangamoses]

This is very educative, plus the tone of voice with which the speaker uses, makes it easy to listen to also.
