Aggressive By Nature? | Richard Tremblay | EP 171

In this episode, Jordan B Peterson is joined by Richard Tremblay. Richard Tremblay is a Canadian child psychologist and Professor of Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Psychology at the University of Montreal, where he holds the Canada Research Chair in child development. His research has focused on the development of aggressive behavior in children and the potential for early intervention programs to reduce the chances of children turning to crime in adulthood. In 2017, he received the 2017 Stockholm Prize in Criminology for his work studying delinquency in children, making him the first Canadian to receive this prize.
Dr. Tremblay and Jordan discussed a variety of topics in the realm of his research with physical aggression and juvenile delinquency, what surprised him of his finding, risk factors that lead to aggressive behavior in adults, experimental interventions with mothers to decrease aggression in children, the biology of aggression, what compelled him to do this research, different forms of aggression and more.

Watching Jordan over the recent months as he is getting his spring back in is step is motivating. Most people watching, like myself have had the lives rocked by something and spiraled down both physically and mentally. His redeployment of high energy is infectious. Go Jordan Go

[@YeahButCanISniffUrPantsFist]

agree wholeheartedly

[@magnacz]

Yes very true ! Also his patience to get this person to talk. It was like pulling teeth. No doubt this person is very qualified and successful but not willing to express it. My question would be how about children that don't have siblings and first enter kindergarten at five ? So the first five years were spent with mother and few playdates with other children. What about their aggression ?

Agreed. It's inspiring. Hopefully we will get some updates at some point which things worked out and which ones didn't 😊

I'm approaching my mid-seventies and am still unravelling that history like an onion. I find the video intriguing, but so much of it goes counter to so much I had previously thought? There was a time in my life where I thought I was going to explode with anger. It was terrifying. I had the urge to strike out. I've spent decades in support groups and therapy.

[@heidrysdenacimiento6430]

I'm a mother of 4. I have three boys and one girl. Early on I realized that while boys are still non-verbal they tend to have more of an aggressive nature. For me the most important intervention lies within the mother-child bond. Its incredibly important that kids know that mother's love is unconditional. Early on kids need to be held accountable for unacceptable aggression through compassion. I worked counseling women on breastfeeding and infant and child nutrition for almost nine years. However, my counseling always led back to bonding, co-sleeping, and breastfeeding. When we learn to listen to our mother's intuition and not so much to what society finds acceptable , we women do much better at bonding and kids are much more compassionate. This inevitably reduces aggression.

Both my daughters are day care teachers in Australia. These centres are privately owned by greedy people who fail to provide enough teachers to give quality care except on days when assessors appear. I am horrified by the stories of what happens in the baby rooms in child care centres. How parents can leave their tiny babies in a room with 9 other babies and a couple of young girls baffles me. We should be funding mothers to stay at home with support and take care of their own children until they are at least 3 years old.

Completely agree. High quality daycares are VERY expensive and hard to find (in the US). Most daycares have horrible conditions. I don’t think daycare is the holy grail solution. I agree that we should be encouraging mothers to stay home with their children with support at least during the first years of life so they can focus on nurturing and socializing them.

100% true!!! If daycare is so great, why isn't this last generation the most well adjusted of any generation!!

[@sharonpetersen7536]

This includes so many good lessons that are apparently hidden behind the norms used in common language and in standardizing scientific study: 1. Make the earliest years of every child full of warmth and positive attention 2. Inclusion and leading by example can build the pro-social behaviours you want to see 3. Support mothers/care-givers in all stages because this has long-term benefits for those in their care 4. Embrace learning what experience will prove to you 5. Respect the authority of those who have allowed experience to teach them 6. Being kind does more good than science can measure (although, apparently they can prove its impact on the second generation, so that's a start).

I really want Jordan to do a podcast with James Lindsay.

I live in Scotland and have spent my career between mental health and youth justice. Two great things being done which relates to the support of at risk families/children are 1. The Named Person - from pregnancy to leaving high school, the professionals are assessing and intervening throughout the childhood, ie midwife, teachers, community nurses. 2. Criminal Justice - specifically young people, using a Whole Systems Approach. Focus on the needs, learning deficits, problem solving, by professionals in health,social work, housing, police. And last point , a child in trouble cant be treated on their own, need to work with family too, that's a given. Brilliant show as always!!

[@siowat7911]

This assumes that the intervening 'professionals' are acting in the best interests of the families and that they know what they are doing. I have heard people discussing whether children should be removed from families, but don't recall these people considering whether the proposed interventions are better or even good. It's all a bit one-sided, with the assumption that 'professionals' know what is best and have these peoples best interests at heart.

[@jackieec40]

Yes I see your point. The named person is a new approach, born from extreme cases of neglect on the part of family, professionals and society whereby children died. The named person works within a system and an individual has no authority to make extreme decisions alone. It's designed to highlight concerns, which are followed up with other professionals and the family, through discussion, assessment and offering appropriate interventions, safety and need of the child are at the core. Discussion of removing children would only occur if there was an imminent danger to a child or in rare cases the child is expressing dangerous behaviour. In scotland, professionals may talk, vent frustration at parents behaviour, but parents have support of the law re their children and in my experience when there is talk about removing a child, I've agreed with it. But generally the consensus had been let's look at ways to help. All professionals working, in contact with children have statutory training on a yearly basis, to be aware of the harms to children, so as to be aware and act when necessary. Also, regular supervision and specific assessments. It's still in early stages,and as Jordan points out there so many factors in our society that humans need to learn. I believe ultimately children are not given the priorities they need. E.G It remains legal in the UK for parents to discipline children with violence, Scottish government created a bill to make hitting children illegal, and the UK government is trying to stop it. Many of us agreed that help came too late, hence an awareness of the content of this podcast. Thus much hope for the future in helping children.

This actually eases my soul somewhat. To this day I remember a girl in kindergarten. Looking back I think she liked me. She bugged me constantly. One day (I'm a boy.) I pushed her down and started hitting her and tried to pull one of her pigtails out. I guess the teacher broke it up but as a memory for an adult it was awful. I've always wondered if that was a sign there was something wrong with me. I haven't been aggressive much at all the rest of my life. In some part because I didn't have to be. Very large. Usually larger than kids a couple years older. And smarter than average (It always seemed some guys got aggressive because they couldn't combat verbally.) The knowledge that I was at my most violent THEN and younger goes a long way to ease my mind. Maybe it's a good thing that I remembered it and felt bad about it. Maybe a lot of kids would have forgotten. This knowledge is huge.

[@MelodyeW300]

@@hollismallory2757 scripts are sequential information stored in your memory that inform your behaviour. They can become automatic (like driving a car or ordering food at your favourite restaurant). Aggressive scripts inform aggressive behaviour and people who act aggressively tend to have many aggressive scripts that they act out depending on the situation. This is usually a subconscious process. That’s a basic nutshell but I suppose it’s a bit more in-depth that that.

As the mother of a young child who had examined daycare closely, I’m pretty skeptical at the assertion being made that “quality daycare” is as impactful as a good education and is some how hugely beneficial to all kids, even those from loving, stable homes. For starters, the ratios in daycares are never ideal due to the cost being prohibitive. Daycare employees are not usually well paid and turnover is also high.

[@andrealucy91]

Did he say that? JP asked the question twice and it felt like he didn't answer it directly at all. I really wanted to know what the evidence said.

Such a timely discussion on multiple fronts. Canada is currently grappling with our history of removing Indigenous children from their families and the transgenerational consequence of this trauma is apparent. Dr. Tremblay's work on potential strategies on righting some of this wrong should be thoughtfully considered - and it may be a very opportune time to do some research on that front as I am sure CIHR and the gov't would be more open to this approach if Dr. Tremblay is able to make collaborative connections with Indigenous community elders and leaders and sharing with them his learnings and discussing with them if there is something there that can help future generations thrive and reprogram some of the epigenetic signatures of trauma.

[@Justinehumanity]

I was relieved to finally hear you both discuss dysregulated/insecure early attachment relationships, which (based on what was discussed today) I would speculate is the primary mechanism for enduring aggression after toddlerhood. There is evidence that disordered attachment may trigger epigenetic change regarding the functioning of oxytocin and serotonin receptors, which can then be transmitted inter-generationally. There is also some evidence to suggest that altered oxytocin receptor functioning has implications for mothers in particular - their ability to identify and discriminate between infant behavioral cues and cries, as well as their ability to calm states of heightened physiological arousal by providing a safe base from which the child can explore the world. As far as I know, fathers are implicated in the regulation of aggression in children, which corresponds to the exploration function of attachment, versus the mother’s general function of safe-harboring. For those particularly interested in this topic, I would highly recommend a publication by Dr. Allan Schore called “Affective Dysregulation and Disorders of the Self.” I would also like to point out that in the US at least, there is a promising, research-backed, early intervention strategy called “The Circle of Security” which focuses on peer support as well as in teaching emotionally dysregulated and insecurely attached mothers how to interpret and respond to their infants behavioral cues in more constructive ways. Thus far, these interventions have been shown to be efficacious, although potentially difficult to facilitate without advanced education, specialized training AND Experience being a securely attached and/or earned- secure parent.
