Thank you Yifat Susskind for allowing me to look at everything in the world at the same time and proving that we can move from one opinion or notion to another freely at our advantage (or sometimes disadvantage) but we can actually *think like anything even if we are not typical* *a man can think like a mother*. use, acknowledge and store concepts like a in a metaphorical paint pallet and learn to access these tools in situations but that we can be of many things at the same time. ugh it’s hard to explain but I know what I mean.

Stop using misery of people to propagate your sick agenda.
You talk about Motherhood while you advance perversion!
Don’t you dare touch the ideals of motherhood with your polluted touch.
You are leading the world to one thing; destruction!

That sounds so hopeful but humanity is like a child a very young child is very selfish and as they grow they learn you cannot live on your emotions you must learn in the way to learn is to teach people not indoctrinate them but teach them to think on their own if we first take our time and create schools that teach and not indoctrinate and people start to on their own like a child growing into an adult they will know what is good and what is bad and things will change but it will never happen under emotion it will only happen under intellect of the individual

So is thinking like a father bad? In the world that i have observed, only fathers usually have a holistic view of a family, they put themselves last. Women normally think of themselves 1st and then fit the family around their interest. Personal interests should be last and family interest 1st as fathers.

People in the comments are making all sorts of completely baseless claims about her idea of “thinking like a mother”, like, how hard is it to understand when she literally stands there and advocates for love, compassion, and a desire to protect and assist those in need to be the main influencers of decisions in times of crisis/etc, and see it as her advocating for stressing out, being overbearing, or sacrificing everything you have ?

I loved the beginning, but then she had to pivot at the end to insult mothers who would make different choices than she would. She reminds me of the moms who shame other moms for their parenting choices. Can’t we be open to seeing that there are others who choose differently and think differently, but are still doing what they think is best for all involved? Insulting others didn’t add to her message. It was an unnecessary dig.
Yes, lovingly solving problems with everyone’s best interests at heart is exactly what needs to be done. Labeling and attacking straw-mothers is an easy appeal to a base, but it isn’t inclusive. It isn’t conducive to problem solving with solutions from all perspectives.
We need to remember that not everyone will share our points of view. That doesn’t mean we aren’t entitled to our points of view, but if we’re truly thinking like mothers, we should be open to the differences among us and truly embrace diversity, including ideological diversity. If your child is different than what you expected, do you love them less or do you choose to get to know them and understand them for who they are? Thinking like a mother means loving diverse people, even when you disagree with them, and treating their experience as valid, soothing concerns, and addressing reasonable expectations. That is how we get everyone’s needs met. Being a good mother starts with listening.

Great video but I have to say the title should say Think like a Parent because not all mothers are great. And this excludes fathers. Women often think that their gender is the most nurturing. Many ppl are and were raised by great MenFathers while the mom was the dead beat alcoholic. Let us treat both genders equal please.
Again, great video.

Robert
May 2, 2020 at 1:22 am
this is not how mothers operate. Outside of the context of trauma, Oxytocin makes us more prosocial towards in-group members and more anti-social towards out group members. It exacerbates conflict. It makes you more closed minded and focused on your own biases. This women how no idea about established behavioural neuroscience. All well intended but misleading and is therefore exacerbating disorientation. Foolish propaganda.

Many people claims that 9/11 was inside job.
I took a while for thinking about that.Why would a guy kill innocents people where he can kill military personnel by those explosives.
Why would he let America to invade his land.
In the other hand,George W bush had all the logical reason to play this cruel ploy.
He terrified us,he said we are gonna die if you don’t elect me as your President.
And by the,..Iraq.
America invaded Iraq by claiming that Iraq has nuclear weapons.But actually they didn’t had.
If they’re so concern about their country,their people than why don’t they invade North korea?
They acknowledged that they have nuclear and they also said they Americans.
Americans are banned in North korea!
So,why don’t they do anything about that?
Isn’t that strange?

Ah yeah, so during these times it’s only the mothers that can help because anybody that isn’t a mother, can’t understand this way of thinking. In my experience its the mothers I see that are panic buying, overworrying, promoting drama and spreading fake news, so maybe don’t think like them.

This is a terrible presentation, which creates division. You are suggesting that mothers think better, are more caring and are more likely to take action than non-mothers. Therefore, if you are a mother you are better than fathers, women who can’t have children, women who choose not to have children, and children themselves who have not yet reached the age of having children. This is patronising and simply wrong. Even if we ignore that there are bad mothers in the world, thinking like a mother also means choosing to protect your own child over another woman’s child and thinking you know what is best for your child better than they do themselves. These traits are not useful when protecting vulnerable people in the world. What you are actually describing is a caring human, not a mother. I too would turn a child away from seeing something traumatic like 9/11, as would would many people in this world: mothers, fathers and other non-mothers alike.

Thinking with only emotion and treating everyone like they are 5 years old is not a good strategy. Also, we have feminized and demonized men too much in our society. WE NEED MORE MEN WHO STEP UP AND ACT AS MEN (not be shamed into acting as women)! Now we have a war on men/boys or anything masculine!

The title should be “let’s think like a PARENT.” What about paternal instinct?? Can we stop spreading the stereotype that women are born nutures! Because they aren’t. There are many men/fathers who are loving and nurturing, and many women who aren’t.

I see your point, and I thought about that too. Though she doesn’t continue defining what she defines as “mothering” throughout the video, she does make a point of acknowledging this in the beginning. If this definition is hard to get past, don’t let it get in the way of absorbing her deeper messages 🙂

This is not about thinking like a parent, this is her connection to the maternal instinct she feels as a mother to her work around the world as her instinct as a woman. That’s an elite and beautiful thing. Being a parent is also an elite and amazing thing but it is a different topic as to what she is celebrating in this Ted Talk.
