No. If you want people to leave home, lower the price of houses. Learning ‘how to adult’, or to have an ‘entreprenoulier spirit’ wont make houses cheaper, and wont increase the avarage income of young adults. Stop trying to blame parents for the failure of the economy.

Dude, I’m 59 and we already had that system in place. the technology that took your kids away is what needs to change. Nowadays tough parenting is taking the tech away from kids and introducing them to reality. But !!
don’t expect it to happen overnight. There will be a disconnect period (withdrawals ). give them a few days or at the most a week then get started on them with reality.

Get on that capitalist hamster wheel and start making money for someone. As soon as entrepreneur comes into the discussion, this became a waste of time. Oh, wouldn’t be complete without “disruption”. Is she going to mention “bootstraps”, too. Oh, don’t forget “personal responsibility. There is better advice in the comments. Take a look at those, with caution, of course.

You can raise your child to be free, or a slave.
You can raise your child to be an innovative entrepreneur, to try and fail or succeed, or to be a cog of labor in another’s dream.
You can choose or have others choose for you.
Be an individual. It’s what you really are, though so many will try to force you to submit, obey and do as you are told to meet the needs your rulers.

I think the title of this video is slightly misleading well the resilient part…this is more about raising kids to make money and I don’t know if this truly translates to resilience….also any kid that can raise close to a $1000 on their own is already living a different type of life…The average parent is barely making that in a month…in the end we need to raise children to be good human beings…yes we want them to be self sufficient and take risks but raising them this way I think perpetuates the broken society that we already live in and perhaps they’ll thrive in it but we should all want better.

In my opinion, this tips can be a challenge for children to be brave in doing new things, to be more confident, make them dare to learn new things from the outside world, and can make them solve their problems in their own way. These tips are great for changing their mindset and giving them the space to be able to do what they want.

Notice in the comments that those who object to the speaker are often promoting being dependent on government handouts. Which is the surest road to destruction of self esteem. Money is not evil.

This is nonsense as well, im a libertarian and a business owner. Taxation is theft, and government should stay out of everyones business.
I object to this TED talk on an intellectual level because she is creating a false narrative about self reliance and resilience. Without truly proving her point with her own children and misleading the audience on the message of other notable speakers.

@Vietnamese Style Actually, Peterson says to young incel men that if women aren’t attracted to you, the problem is you. He tells them to improve themselves, work hard, get educated and get jobs. Take on responsibility. And that then they will become attractive. You don’t understand what Peterson is saying.

Maybe it’s training yourself and people to be delusional and not have any layered understanding of real things. The lack of confidence comes from a lack of experience. Unless you are delusional in some way or another. I know this because I can express confidence in regards to things I am an expert at due to the amount of time I’ve spent on it. Why do I not jump into an alligator pit? Maybe because it has fuckin alligators in it. Why do I jump into a clean swimming pool? Because I can see it’s safe. It’s called using reason and judging situations the best we can. And in order to do that we need to learn how things work. So why is someone afraid and someone not afraid? Because one has reason to be afraid and the other does not, the question is are any of these reasons good? An entrepreneur can have bad reasons and thus jumps into the alligator pit, while the person who is too afraid to do anything has bad reasons and won’t jump into the clean swimming pool.
Josef K
October 7, 2022 at 12:21 am
in other words, children should not be raised to be entrepreneurs. That is the wrong goal. Children should be raised to understand the world around them and to enjoy it without being deluded into the extreme concept of self reliance. Resilience can be perceived as delusional too. Be self reliant when you can’t depend on others at a given moment to handle a situation, this way you can make the decision that takes action when no action is the worse decision. Same with resilience. Be resilient and back down when it’s reasonable to do so.

This TED talk contains valuable wisdom. We can sometimes give our kids more by giving them less. Entrepreneurship ought to be a class that middle school and high school students can take. It could be an online class — asynchronous — so as not to interfere with other school subjects. As Tameka Montgomery explains, mindset is so important. Mindset can be cultivated.

This is powerful truth. I’ve seen the same things at work. I think I would add one more idea to the mix however. The idea of how to empower others with your economic choices. When kids learn that their growth and development can make things better for a larger group or the world, it’s even more compelling than just realizing their power to fulfill their own needs. For instance, the children of the speakers raised the funds to go to Tanzania, exposing them to the situation of people in another country. They learned to take a cultural/historical artifact and create a superhero design based on that artifact. With the larger consciousness of how one’s own responsible action can change perspectives and opportunities for others, they are reinforced in feeling value and pride in their own choices. Good job, Mom and Dad!

Insightful video. 🙂 i do agree on the part on reducing prosperity though. kids nowadays have lots of things, and having them come too easily will spoil them. Also yes, allowing them to solve their own problems will help them become more resilient. The key is to make them understand that if they never quit, they wont fail.
i used to reward kids with money for doing chores as well, but after sometime, i stopped. Because doing chores are their responsibility, and not something to be celebrated when done. I dont want my kid to grow up having “whats in for me?” mentality even for common things like doing the laundry. The day you stopped rewarding “daddy dollars”, they stopped doing chores – I dont think parents want that to happen.
Instead of giving money, I’d prefer positive reinforcement like giving praises, hugs and kisses to encourage a simple good behaviour.

so childhood is gonna be about what you will become as an adult instead of just enjoying childhood. I disagree with several methods such as never paying for things they want. I call that a gift, i fear never giving them gifts will make them think later on that you need to “earn” acts of kindness from others. Let’s not forget giving children gifts is not only about giving them a toy they want, it is a way of showing them affection as they feel loved when you do willingly something to make them happy.
I find it sad to take that away.

Every individual is different, every family is different, so being different, there is no manual of raising children. I am glad it works for your family, however, not necessarily it works for other families. Further, tell us, after 20 years, how long they do anchoring.
Family is not only about MONEY or so called SUCCESS, there is a lot more in it.

The reason young adults stay at home is because house pricing is sky-rocketing while wages are getting lower and lower. This is the SECOND generation that earns less than the previous one, and you think “entrepeneurism” is the solution? To create MORE ubers and food deliveres in the world? TED, go outside, look at the world, and talk to these people please.

I don’t think kids’ pf adults who are entrepreneurial are really chasing money. I think to want your own business, find solutions to global issues, trying to change the world aren’t cha Ching $$$. I taught my grandkids when they wanted things to get lawn jobs, snow removal, they did and earned what the needed. It was fun to watch them get excited about earning and finding ways to expand that … and I saw them help people for nothing, donate time and money when needs came up at church of school. I still watch them as adults do this!

Good they go to go to Tanzania. Now had the come up short would you have paid it? I think travel is a family thing, and such a great op for service, that taking your kids traveling is not going to raise entitled children. My dad took us to travel, but we had to earn our spending money, money for wants – I really like my kids taking action but what do you do if they don’t hit it?

The best part of this talk is the speaker’s own story. This is definitely a conversation worth having. There are quite a few assumptions that get into the talk but the best points are from her own story and experience. The quote is definitely on point. Children and humans are naturally entrepreneurs. It is our school systems and our cultures that quickly destroy that. It is we who need to be mindful to work back to what is wise and natural… explore without limiting beliefs, achieve, survive, thrive.
