Dr. Dan Siegel shares his research findings and dispels the negative myths of adolescence prevalent in the media. He also reveals how crucial brain development between ages 12 and 24 prepares young people to thrive as interdependent adults. Dr. Siegel’s insights teach parents how to work together with their teens to enhance self-awareness, support family connections, and reduce vulnerability to risks. Learn how to foster a climate of kindness, compassion, and resilience in your family and community.

I did the Brainstorm online course. For me it's a MUST for clinicians, teacher and PARENTS! Thanks Dr. Siegel

I am not a clinician, but a human looking for growth in my own development. This talk is brilliant! Thank you so much. Dan for President! 😁

Into the first 7min of watching this and already opening my view about the adolescent brain.

[@TheSybil47]

Wow! Dr. Siegel is good at explaining very complicated stuff. I'm so glad I stumbled on this video, after having searched for something like this for a very long time. Thanks God he's not boring to listen to, because it really matters how you present scientific material, so all of us can understand our brain better.

Dr. Siegel, you have such an amazing way of teaching. I love every video I have watched of yours. I learn so much from you. Thanks for sharing.

Incredible. If you have any early childhood education/knowledge...this brings things full circle.

[@karolinabuchling5892]

The Santa Fe Indian School engages high schoolers in choosing world/community/tribal projects with a mentor (school employee, teacher, etc) as a year-long endeavor.

[@laurenelizabeth2592]

Is there a term or a process for the entire matrix of reality being torn down for a young teen, and how that alters development and identity formation?

[@MetabolicBrain]

Thank you!

[@HenryNsubuga7612]

I really love this stuff

[@GetUnlabeled]

Maybe the right over heart is more due to the early practices like the pledge of allegiance? Just a thought

[@ericbaum228]

The parts about building a strong sense of self-awareness and seeking fulfillment through acts of service is pretty good. The rest about anti-competitive learning sounds like wisdom that came from someone who never worked for anyone. It's also patently false that one's academic pedigree has no bearing on that individual's professional trajectory. Top law firms or global banks do not hire DeVey graduates.

😅 he’s an expert in the field. He knows more than you

[@joeryan4437]

I don't know if you noticed this, but the part where you talked about unhealthy competition, that's capitalism. The part where you mentioned competing to solve our big problems. That is communism. Do you think we can really successfully implement these in a society built on competing and stomping on others to get ahead? Capitalism requires that for it to exist.

[@mitcheyman00]

had to watch this whole thing for class

[@kumgastonmua3883]

👍

[@bethmarshall4796]

That 8 yr old is 15 now!

[@rachelsantilli1755]

Prune too much? Doesn't sound good.

And then there is no such thing as independence since everyone is in a prison world and I just have felt like I am not really safe and can’t trust everyone and I just prefer self defence rather than depending on police or medical care or fire services and airport security all because I just don’t feel safe around people who treat the world like a massive jail because it is way too safe for my comfort. I do prefer to live a dangerous world because it can get boring at times.
