Fatherhood Can Change the World | Ned Schaut | TEDxRoseville

Fatherhood may be the missing piece of the puzzle we've never realized we've always had. Ned Schaut has a mission to redefine fatherhood. He is a husband to one, a father to five, and a friend to many. He is an Author, Podcast Host, and business owner. He lives in Hawaii and can be found outside exploring with his family. Ned has found his greatest opportunity to leave a mark on this earth by embracing his opportunity as a father. He wants to help other fathers make that same discovery to enjoy their adventure of fatherhood. He believes that eery father who embraces their role intentionally will change the world. His mantra is: Rebel against the view that our action have little impact, together Create lives engaged in mastering the craft of fatherhood. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Fatherhood is incredibly important. Dads have been fighting an up hill battle for years. Imagine a woman can murder your baby without even asking you, Dads are paychecks, Dads are disrespected. Without Dads chaos and violence will be near. Women can't raise children alone. Every child needs a good mom and especially a good dad.

[@MultiChubby1]

Yes.

[@George-hg6on]

Ned = the man

[@Fatherhoodfieldnotes]

Brother! Thank you.

[@michaelaligan2501]

all fathers and those who will be fathers need to see this

[@stevenrowley9399]

Great message Ned. Love the idea of Rebel and Create. I enjoy your podcast and support your movement to help Dads realize their significance in their families, communities, and society. Great job!

[@Fatherhoodfieldnotes]

Thank you!

[@markstrom6105]

Spot on! The sobering statistics on missing fathers are rarely discussed but at the root of many societal issues. The impact of fathers, positive or negative, is multi-generational. Great job explaining what the role calls for.

[@manuella2941]

My father was created fatherless But he is the best dad ever for me and I will forever love him

[@bridgetteneblett3564]

Awesome Ted talk! I would love to see our society embrace this mindset and change the course of humanity. Thanks for the encouragement…I’ll definitely be sharing this!

[@eanwood]

I loved learning the background of rebel. This is an amazing talk. Thank you.

[@c130aviator]

So many TEDx talks and many have millions of views. I came across this and see it barely has 20K views. The reason our country is leaderless and weak in many ways, is because we dont emphasize how important having both parents in the home. I grew up without a father and as a father of 20 years and married just as long. I am fixing my families past failures and building a home for kids who will never know how bad it hurts to not have the father in the home. Our country wont get better until videos like this are a priority and people own raising their kids.

[@KD400_]

Phenomenal speaker. If every man had a similar mindset like him then everything would be perfect

[@sarahschaut6406]

Such an important and great message ❤️❤️❤️

[@drthomasmaples]

Being a father is by far the greatest responsibility and joy we as men can take part of in our journey. As a father of two, and a therapist in practice for multiple decades, I can honestly say, the greatest gift we are ever afforded in life comes to us in the role that we assume as a dad. Thank you for sharing this video. It was awesome.

[@justinrice7666]

Thank you my friend for the inspiration and wisdom you share. I am a rebel to! Come on dad's, let's rebel and create together:)

[@darcysolorzano6720]

Awesome amazing message. Blessings

[@LeviLife]

This video should get much more views than it does!

[@FrumiBPhD]

Ned, I wish my own Dad were alive to hear your outstanding message. He was an amazing and loving role model for all who knew him. I will share this with my own sons - I'd like them to be like you!

[@Fatherhoodfieldnotes]

Wow, an incredible compliment. Thank you!

[@abidemisomoye]

Very Powerful Message. Thank You.

[@nickschaut2690]

Man I can really see the truth in everything you said. I hope this makes it out to all fathers so they can see how much it matters to be involved in their kids lives as a solid role model.

[@lunaleverett5439]

Great job!!! Thank you so much for your message told through great storytelling. Fatherhood is SO important!

[@jasonhazelett4463]

Great stuff Ned. I'm going to use this in my men's group next week as we continue our discussion on Family and Fathers. Perfect.

[@kimw7483]

Whoa this is so good! Such a great message - one dads everywhere need to hear. Imagine if all dads thought like this?!?

[@SteveJohnsHB]

Def what I needed to hear Roomie.

[@thecabin3995]

Tough being a dad. I break down and cry in silence. I want them to be good people. We always want a better world for our children but why not leave better children for our world

[@Multigameguy35]

It's crazy how few views this has.

[@KalltuniClassics]

Deep stuff!!!

[@mistermildor]

Powerful words

[@PurpleGoddess24]

FACTS

[@brodyschaut4257]

[@KD400_]

[@hannahburns1612]

Wow such powerful words!!! Sharing this with all the dads I know! Absolutely love this message and the extreme importance of fatherhood.

[@mistermildor]

Yes indeed I have a brand and channel all based on fatherhood

[@adventureoffatherhood]

So good!

[@KingDeadMan]

Wow... at first, I didn't want to admit that TedTalks from men about fatherhood got less views than from women on the same subject, but it's true. From women, the views average 500K-2M views; and from men, the views average 17K-300K views. Trust me. I didn't want to believe what I thought was s*xist & misogynistic babblings from hurt men, but the information is right there in front our faces. It sucks that us men can't even advocate for ourselves because the main ones watching & attending the TedTalks don't even want to listen. Us guys literally have to wait for that one compassionate & competent woman to show up to give her heartfelt, second-hand experience of what it's like to be a man to other women (or a father, in this case). Then, and only then would we even see an attempt to shift societal norms from condemning fathers for even trying to exist on the same plane as mothers.

[@josephludwig1126]

You have not been divorced.

[@nurnberg1561]

The first difference is the gender of the child. Boys are tied to their mothers until a certain age, after that dad can play an important and positive role in their upbringing. The same thing is with social services, at least here in Croatia. Not a single man works there except as a security guard. Why do women persistently want to tell us how to be a father!? I don't want to be a mother, it's a matter of balance. 6 years in the courts, when the lawyers figured out that I don't want full custody (mom is also important), they lost interest because there is no constant large income. It's a difficult road, but here he feels more and more comfortable, he wants to spend time and it's not because of his mother, social services, but our connection, imagination, playing and lots of talking

[@dragoonzen]

Lol, 75% of all women choose unqualified partners when wanting to start a family 😆

[@KD400_]

True. Also 80% of divorces r initiated by them.

[@bigdaddy3621]

Dad's have been abusive and toxic in history up until now.

[@VaporwaveLover2000]

Same for mothers

[@rickDArula]

Men are trying to collectively correct ourselves We know we should do better than our parents / past. Real men raise their families Cowards runs and make new cycles of trauma

[@smokexsmoke99]

I don't see the importance of fatherhood. I always wondered what's the importance of fathers in a child's life. I can see why mothers are important. Women are socially and biologically programmed to be parents much more strongly than men are. Mothers are the ones that produce milk to feed to their babies. Also, mothers are the ones that are usually in charge of their babies, and they assume that role early on. Also, women have "maternal instinct", while men don't have anything like that. And also, children usually spend a lot more time with their mothers than they do with their fathers, and during that time, the mothers are usually taking care of the children. Also, most animals in this world are only taken care by their mothers and they don't have their fathers around at all. So why are human fathers important? It seems that a child can grow up without a father, and still turn out ok.

[@jessiemanak9767]

Did you listen to the stats? You are wrong on all accounts. Let's break the cycle.

[@VaporwaveLover2000]

You’re delusional stop treating mothers like gods and putting fathers down. Go look at the crime rates in fatherless homes and try to tell me they’re not important. Also moms are hella overappreciated

[@elitecoder955]

Fathers are more important than mothers 6:09 Also does this dude even know we have gender roles? Men are expected to earn more and be more sacrificial than "playing around with kids"

[@VaporwaveLover2000]

Not true

[@elitecoder955]

​@@VaporwaveLover2000 it's true, every organisation is run by men/fathers not mothers

[@rickDArula]

@@elitecoder955it’s definitely a complicated subject but fathers make all the difference. A male figure will show a child right from wrong in most cases

[@bstrachan9240]

Terrific message. Inspiring, humbling yet hopeful. If all dad’s who listen to this just try some a difference will be made. Thanks for sharing!

[@josecarrasco9769]

My role model. You are the epitomy of what a Dad should be. I dig your message and the fact that you live out that message. You're a good dude and your family is lucky to have such a caring and compassionate man in their lives. You also have some real sick tats!

[@virassammydarren]

Ned! What a fantastic talk! We watched it together as a family. I caught the tail end of your talk live in Roseville as I was doing a final run on mine. This message is very important and much appreciated. Thank you for sharing!

[@brooklynschaut1289]

So good!! Such a good message that all dads need to hear!

[@crystaleychaner9811]

Great job Ned! Not just good heartfelt tips for father’s but grandparents too.

[@bryonwiler2482]

Wow!
