• 00:05:00 The following video is about how to better manage emotions by using contemplative practices that have been used for centuries by Buddhists and other religious groups. According to the speaker, we are beginning to learn that teaching social and emotional skills to children from 5 to college is very effective and turns them into much more civically-minded people. It is an error to think that cognition and emotions are two completely separate things. The same brain area is responsible for both, so helping children manage their emotions means they can learn better now. We are studying contemplative practices that have been used for centuries to develop mind, and in Christianity, this has been done for centuries too. We are studying them to see if we can use it to help children concentrate better. One of the main discoveries of Buddhist monks and biologists Matthieu Ricard is that mindfulness can be used to renew the educational system. We hope when we educate children, and turn them into good human beings, that they will be happy and not depressed. We need people with balanced minds, but education seems to be interested only in anything other than that. So there is something that needs to be improved, and that is concentration. Mindfulness has been one of the main discoveries of Buddhist monks and biologists Matthieu Ricard, and
• 00:10:00 The video discusses the benefits of meditation and how practicing it can help calm the mind. It goes on to say that many people will tell you not to do it because it's not for you after three minutes, your mind is completely distracted. This is normal and isn't your fault because the mind is not trained. If you don't persist, you will never learn anything. So, instead of feeling guilty or frustrated, try to detach yourself from ideas like "I don't belong here" or "I'm not good enough". Doing this regularly over a period of time will help calm the mind. When you are able to do this for a few minutes, your mind will become clearer and you will be able to use it more flexibly to cultivate altruism, compassion, or whatever you want. Schools need to make a radical change and include social and emotional learning in their classes, but the management of emotions starts much earlier than children enter school. It starts during early childhood, as is evident from research on psychologist James Arts. His studies show that a lack of care and poor emotional management can lead to adults with more problematic lives. Somewhere in one of your investigations, you will show that when fathers are absent, girls start puberty earlier than average. This discovery has been
• 00:15:00 The speaker discusses the importance of emotional intelligence in children, adults, and professionals. They explain that while it is important to be aware of one's emotions, it is also important to be able to manage and control them. Their first study, which involved measuring anxiety levels in pregnant women, found that the percentage of mothers who were anxious about their child increased the risk of their child having attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) by 2%. They go on to say that while professionals should be aware of a mother's emotional state, they should also be aware of the individual's strengths and limitations.
• 00:20:00 This video discusses the importance of emotions in our lives, and how we learn to control them during our early years. Harry Jar, a psychoanalyst, conducted experiments in the 1960s that revealed that young children are more motivated by emotions than logic. This video explains how this affects their future, and how you can create positive emotions in your life.
