5 Parenting Tips for Raising Resilient, Self-Reliant Kids | Tameka Montgomery | TED

[@williamperry1369]

What an amzming mother to have! Thankful that her and her husband have such intentionality in their parenting.

[@heidivaliev3706]

You are a GREAT mother!! I wished I had done that with mine.

[@Golden_Kelsi]

I think parenting is a rebirth for parents themselves and give amazing opportunities to bring up their children through all stages of development. We as parents grow and learn with each other. I am a 28 years old full-time worker who is thinking about how to raise my children appropriately. There are so much to learn!

[@zzz4baby]

That's such a beautiful perspective on parenting! It's true that raising children provides endless opportunities for personal growth and learning. It's awesome that you're already thinking about how to raise your future children in the best way possible. Remember, it's all about learning and growing together! 🌟

[@BusCord]

I'm glad this technique works for you -and there were a lot of good points in this talk; however, training children to chase money can only create the wrong kind of resilience

[@freesk8]

Money is not evil. Money represents human labor, and human value. Teaching people that they have to feel guilty about earning money is crippling them.

[@annewalsh2324]

Exactly. These kids will grow up thinking the homeless are just lazy when they don't even know what kind of advantages they had to even get as far as they are right now. Some kids parents don't have a car to pick up free items, or the money to have as a backup if those items are bug infested and the home suddenly needs treated, or the gas to drive to get them. The parents supplied the stuff to wash the cars and the place to do it at their nice home, most apartments wouldn't be cool with that, let alone some states with permits. She didn't make resilience and self reliance the focal point she made money the focus. Absolutely wrong take.

[@freesk8]

@@annewalsh2324 So, you are trying to say that just because 10% of the parents can't implement her advice, that she should not try to spread her teaching to the other 90%? I think your real goal is to attempt to censor her. To suppress ideas that you disagree with for political reasons. Your argument fails. Instead, in order to undermine her argument, you need to show why her teachings would hurt her own kids. Until you do that, you are just trying to shut her down.

[@BusCord]

​@@freesk8 Money is like a house, a tree, or a lawn: it's a thing we exist with; it provides a service to us; she could have just as easily given a talk about forcing her kids to build shelters, or mow lawns all summer, and I would have said the same thing: let them be kids. The woman wrapped up the presentation nicely by talking about her child's love for art, but it left me wishing it was the actual topic

[@freesk8]

@@BusCord In our culture, we trade in money. We trade our labor for money. We trade our money for houses with trees and lawns. I'm not saying that money is as wonderful as a tree. All I am saying is that money should not be denigrated. And kids who grow up understanding how money is MADE, will tend to be happier in the culture and the society that we have. Now, if society were different, perhaps different lessons would make sense. But it is not. We should prepare our kids for the culture they will live in if we want them to be well-adjusted and happy. The speaker is doing this, and her kids should thank her for it.

[@lydiaflih8114]

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.

[@vietnamesestyles]

[@beataplaya]

Makes me question what is the profound reason of having kids.

[@shelleyblack]

I think you missed the whole point, it’s actually not about money. It’s about teaching them drive, teaching them to work hard to follow their wants and needs and dreams, it’s about not becoming entitled adults and have skill sets to solve problems later on in life. Skills that healthy successful adults posses.

[@tobi1919]

I understand your point. But listen again, she never said dont gift something. Just reduce prosperity. So what she didn't tell is, its all about balance. Give the kids gift, give them toys, but encourage the kids to earn something extra by their own. A flight ticket is a bit harsh, but if the kid already has the ability why not? My parents were more normal, but my mum hates sugar-stuff, so I had to earn money for that. That was for sure a good lesson and it would be possible to enforce me earning also money for other things.

[@Anna133199]

@@shelleyblack You can get this drive without having this insanely transactional, extreme, weird childhood. There's nothing wrong with an allowance. Just don't make it a huge one. If they want more, they work for it. Also, paying them to read? That's not teaching them about the joy of reading. It's sending the message that reading is a chore that one should be paid to do.

[@Zerobob26]

I'd simply want my kids to be happy and have a full human experience, if that's even possible in today's consumerist, narcissistic world. Spending your life chasing "success" is folly.

[@owengonzales53]

Yes!! Success is arbitrary, and probably unhealthy in the way it’s typically thought of. I’d rather have my kids do something they’re passionate about that they feel genuinely makes the world a better place for others and for themselves. Chasing success, never being satisfied with where you are, is a recipe for an unfulfilling life

[@freesk8]

Money is not evil. Money represents human labor, and human value. Teaching people that they have to feel guilty about earning money is crippling them.

[@snorlaxzzzz380]

Conceptually I get it but I wonder if this approach might condition kids to feel like everything they do needs to have a "return" (e.g., financial gain). It could potentially take away their passion for things that they are intrinsically interested in.

[@ParentingPlanet]

Kids become strong like superheroes when they face real challenges, learning how to solve problems and never give up. Each challenge is like a puzzle piece that makes them even tougher!🙃

Those were great success stories, but I would like to hear more about how she handles teaching kids about FAILING successfully. When their ideas don't pan out, when they don't get enough for the tickets, etc. How do you address their disappointment and disaffection then without abandoning the method you've established?

[@aduad]

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.

[@KE-xj9vm]

You are right in many ways. However I think you missed the point, it’s not about making money, it’s about problem solving to get what they want or be where they want to be. Yes these kids mentioned here are privileged even just by proxy to their intelligent parents, but this is exactly what kids should be doing in lower socioeconomic societies, to enterprise to make money to live the life they want to rather than be so desperate that they turn to crime. Knowing that you can problem solve your way out of any situation is what makes you resilient, not just the ability to endure hardship without throwing the towel in.

​@K E what about kids playing instead and enjoying their childhood. What about laughter, kindness, friendship, integrity, character, history, science, art, sustainability Don't we need to teach kids that rather than getting rewarded in dollars everything they do a chore or read a book

[@beni-fruks5693]

This in my opinion is a technique you need to learn because at the end HOW TO MAKE AND GROW WEALTH LEGITIMATELY IS THE GOAL OF MANKIND after our altimate service to God and humanity

[@maeg4268]

Thank you for sharing! Definitely adding to my parenting goals.

[@geekscreation7533]

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.

This is definitely resonating. There is a spectrum for everything. Like not paying for family holidays for your kids is a bit harsh. Most people I know are not entitled brats and they got an allowance and family holidays paid for. I think there is a risk of causing resentment when you are denying your kids too much. But I’m all for the problem solving part to figure out how to get what you want in a clever and practical way where you create value for others, not steel or con them because you can’t figure out another way to do it

[@prairieprincess4155]

Agree!!! I wish my parents would’ve had this same mindset!👏👏👏

[@alexandramichelle1493]

[@valexander8891]

I don't think kids' 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!

[@shannonnefra9738]

When I was nine I was grooming dogs, to earn extra money. By twelve I was pet-sitting, my needs were met by my family. However, if I wanted something I earned it! And this is something I teach my daughters aged fifteen and seven. I was not entitled, we must work. Thank you for this talk 💌!

[@ZymaPro]

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.

"To prepare the parents then is really the first step, for they cannot give their children what they themselves have not yet learned. If the parent has not yet learned real discernment, has not yet learned the value of discretion, has not yet learned how to listen within themselves objectively, has not yet learned how to restrain judgment and condemnation of others, well, what can they give their children except their own prejudices, their own expectations and the burden of whatever was placed upon them in their childhood as well? What is important for children is what is important for adults - Knowledge, wisdom, relationship and purpose." *_The New Message from God » Raising Children_*

Every individual is different, every family is different, so being different, there is no manual of raising children.

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 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?

[@YellowSuubmarine]

She mentioned several times how her and husband would literally help them to achieve the goals that the children wanted to accomplish. It wasn’t like they said get your ticket or ur not coming . They supported them, and drove them around and in doing so she found that they learned things about themselves and were proud, and learned problem solving skills etc. including the older son telling his siblings “we got this!” Bc he had found his own way to pay for a 300$ flight thru buying and selling things on Craigslist. Which obviously the parents had to be very involved in. Also the daddy bucks . I might have called them something else haha but make more sense than an allowance I agree. It would have probably been easier for them to just pay for the flights at the time. but their is a special feeling especially the first when u know u did something you enjoyed and were good at and earned something you were working towards.

[@finetrue]

Lots of great points. But can not agree with the part of overly addressing earning their own moneys and never giving allowance. Success is not just about financial resilience, they also have right to be “spoiled” once a while to feel special and loved instead of being forced to rely on themselves all the time. Maybe I got it wrong, or maybe the actual practice is not this exaggerated. We want our kids to be happy and be able to feel loved, cared for, respected, and be able to love, care for and respect others, regardless of financial reasons.

[@anastasiaplaskasoviti8765]

I do not agree with this at all. The concept is nice but as a teenager (I started when I was 12), who had to work all summer long 12 hours per day every day, I can tell you that I hated my childhood and teenage years and I envied all the other kids that were having fun and a great summer. Yes, it made me 100% autonomous and that I never need anyone but the price was too high. Leave your kids to be kids!

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.

I couldn't get more than 2 minutes into this. First off how to you mention statistical data (more than 52% of young adults living at home) without mentioning the complete data from that study (of the 52% of YA living at home more than 85% state the reason being wages; as in we can't afford to live on our own no matter how much we want to!) This is definitely an opinion piece from someone who can't wait for her kids to leave home, disregarding her main job as a parent, making sure that's what's best for them. The older generation needs to stop ignoring and distorting facts. My kids can stay with me as LONG as they NEED to. It's not about resilience, or fear of greatness, or even not wanting to "Adult" it's about having real tools (financial stability, healthy environments, education (most of you all rely on education systems to teach your children personal finance and it's either not being done by them or done poorly because THAT'S NOT THEIR JOB IT'S YOURS!) and patience) that's what helps make self reliant productive members of society.

Are there only 5 techniques? Or is this the magic number to keep triggering me in my head.

Money is not evil. Money represents human labor, and human value. Teaching people that they have to feel guilty about earning money is crippling them.

​@@freesk8 It is okay to let the kids raise a business for buying their favourite toy. But she made them work for their family holidays (or in other words: make them pay for time together...)

@@Laralinda The kids wanted a special and expensive trip. They could have had cheap picnics together at home.

@@freesk8 i just sent my son to Asia for cultural enrichment. Didn't force him into labor to go on a trip with me. My young son is a hard worker. Given my own business acumen, he observes me and through admiration, respect and love he follows my example. If he wants to be a doctor one day, work at a hospital, thats on him. If he wants to be an athlete or run his own business its also his choice, hes well on the path to reaching greater goals. Why would you force your child to work just to go on a trip with you? I may have had to grow the hard way being raised by poor parents who spent their entire lives doing hard labor, but my folks never subjected me to this nonsense when they took me across the world for trips. As a grown adult I watched the sacrifices they made for me, I inherited their hard working mentality and combined it with my education. I'm not perfect but I'm much further ahead than my folks were at my age, they had to grow up as children inside a war that seen millions of my people killed. They wanted a better life for me and they didn't have to put me through those tips for me to achieve it. They nurtured me into a successful businessman making a six figure income. And in turn I will try my best to nurture my son to go far beyond me with love and guidance. It's important to realize that she has not even proven her theory with her own children, yet I am direct evidence of my own folks parenting. I became an entrepreneur myself, as well as my own parents too AFTER THEY RETIRED from their factory jobs. They did such a good job of raising their own children, that their children eventually raised them up as well. A good family sticks together, they grow up to work together, they provide wisdom and solutions based on their own experiences so that the others don't go through the same mistakes they already went through. That way they can encounter different and greater obstacles sooner than later.

Children are supposed to agitate you, it makes you quicker.

>>Calling Hokum And Hogwash On Balenciaga’s Apology For Bondage Ad Pics With Toddlers. Read at the Published Reporter. Fashion brand Balenciaga apologized after an outrageous advertisement sparked backlash. Yes, I am hopping mad! The ad depicted toddlers holding teddy bears dressed in bondage belts. Furthermore, I am morally outraged! Folks, do you actually believe the doubletalk by the company big wigs? Malarkey is my opinion. It’s a codswallop smoke screen for getting caught in the act. The company pushed their indoctrination of sexualization meter to see how the public would respond. Well, the corporate perverts got their answer.

5mins in and still not getting to the point.. Ted talks are great because they are 10mins. If you like the subject, you research it.

First you set an example by proving you we're right in raising em.

[@risingsara]

I do not agree

[@hannahcheck]

The value of our kids is their success to make money and fit into our broken system?? Nah I’m good

Let me quote a wise man on the issue of young people being unable to be resilient and self-reliant in today's world: "Give me rent."

[@PriorityDonk]

Because nobody can afford a home, no wonder people are living with their parents longer!

[@SpeaktheTruths]

Why have kids?

[@freesk8]

Because the future literally depends on that.

[@nevis4567]

Damn that story about guiding your kid to raise money to buy the plane ticket made me cry. I might even want kids now lol

[@Jezeus11]

So basically raise starving wolfs.
