You are a shepherd not an engineer. You do not get to design your child. Most of the things that will affect your child and help him turn into the person he will be are out of your control, so stop trying to control them for you will only fail. Instead recognize the amazing power you do have and focus only on that. You get to choose the environment your child gets to live in and experience life. You are a shepherd not an engineer.
You can not make a sheep into a sheep dog, no matter of wanting it, or throwing stuff at it will make an animal change species. Given proper motivation and the right environment though and that sheep can grow up and be a ram, and still protect the rest of the herd.

    I am going to listen to this EVERYDAY for a year!!! My wife & I adopted 7 children (international) and I struggle daily with guilt. What did I do wrong? What was I supposed to do more of? How much more can I do now, even though they are adults? Just hearing this once has lessened some of the weight of feeling like an utter failure.

    ​@@JonathanGrandt Jesus is a false prophet. There's no such thing as immaculate conception.....god didn't fuck Mary and impregnate her through some sort of spooky mystic spiritual telepathy sex! The bullshit book states Mary and Joseph were married yet she didn't carry Joe's baby? That's because she's an adulterous slut who fell preggers from fucking randoms behind Joe's back. Now given the stoning she'd receive if found out, she concocted a wonderful story about god fucking her, feeding her his seed and gifting her with his child..... badda bing badda boom!!! There's no god's, no masters and no divine plan......you think a man in a frock who's not allowed to use his cock is going to tell you what's what???? Get off your knees and do something for yourself, you think you can pray to save the day? You don't know who you are....crack open your cranium and let awareness begin. Religious cancer, it's disgusting insidious cancer!!!

    I have one child with severe disabilities and two children who do not. Experiencing all the typical milestones with my typically developing two regardless of my input, vs. experiencing years of therapy at my disabled child's side to try to accomplish milestones he'd never reach, really taught me what he is so eloquently stating here. The majority of the credit, and the guilt, does not actually belong to me.

    People in a higher socioeconomic group tend to naturally like classical music, so they naturally listen to it out of free choice. They will actively choose to listen to it for fun. And the child will end up reading earlier and scoring better at school because of the early childhood environment afforded by the wealthy and highly educated parents.

    So, as a 48 year old who was just diagnosed with severe ADHD/combined, I have to say - I did NOT need to be treated like I was 1/3 of my actual age growing up. That alone would have made me feel like a complete loser and like I had a significant handicap. I have never had problems with driving. I certainly do not need it to be a law, as he suggests, that I should be medicated in order to be allowed to drive. I graduated high school with decent grades. I got 2 college degrees and worked as a professional for 23 years before my ADHD, and the difficulties it causes, finally caught up with me. I was LOVING this video series until he began speaking about people with ADHD as if they cannot be trusted. Not to take away from all of the great information that he presents - but some of this is highly misleading. I realize that ADHD presents differently in everyone - yet he does not make this clear at all. He makes it sound like ALL ADHD children are outwardly hyperactive - which is NOT true. That idea, alone, is why so many females are overlooked.

    I think he is a freemason ( judging by the symbolism he flashes). They are puppets of the ruling elites and their job is to get everyone medicated. The healthcare system is so corrupt. People should not trust blindly any of these so called experts. Even when they have no bad intentions they are just promoting stuff which is decided by people above them. Most medical doctors are drug reps for the pharmaceutical companies. They do not look to prevent disease or cure anyone. Just to get everyone on life long drugs to treat symptoms . This is the case for 99% of medical conditions

G You are growing a 401k plan that cares.... That is if you don't want it free thinking child but in obedient child. And an obedient child is an abused child...

    The child’s IQ is in most cases the average of the biological parents. If you and your spouse are both average, then most likely your child will be average too. However if it’s extremely low or extremely high, there may be regression to the mean. Meaning, if both you and your spouse have a 140 IQ, the kid may end up 130. If you and your spouse both have 80 IQ, the kid may end up 90. Regression to the mean (100).

    Not blaming yourself for the ADHD of your child makes sense, however the rest is a pretty pessimistic point of you. It kinda means, that you watch your child ruining their life and you can't do anything about it. And isn't there a lot of research on how bad parenting affects the mental health of a child? So I'm not sure it's that uncontrollable. Maybe personality traits are determined by gens but it's parenting that either makes those traits flourish or wither. Just laying back and not reflecting on what you are doing with your child, seems a little bit to simple for my liking. But maybe I'm misunderstanding something and he doesn't mean it as extreme as I ended up thinking he does. This kinda reminds me of Rousseau. And it shouldn't be interpreted in the direction of laissez-faire but aside from choosing the meadow it actually looks like that's what a shepard is doing with his sheep: laissez-faire.

    I know you typed this response for years ago, but this video is just now again circulating. The shepherd perspective means that , if taken seriously, good parenting = equals ensuring their environment is safe from harm, ensuring the child is well nourished. Etc in the case of Rousseau and the theory of laissez-faire parenting , I did not get that notion at all from what he is saying here. What I did grasp however, is that our children are born with a temperament that was determined in utero, which he explains emerges as they grow and develop. Your role as the shepherd essentially is to ensure that as they grow and develop, we give them access to the tools in which they need to thrive as best they can. This gives new meaning to accepting the child for who they are.

    no, it means there are some things your child is going to be genetically influenced by that are out of your control, including many things like personality disorders ambition iq interests and even moral responses are out of your control. You can influence their environment to help how that all comes together, but like the shepherd, you can't change the sheep, only guide them in the best ways to adulthood and hope they learn enough to be functional adults, you teach things like social boundaries, social manners, social expectations for that purpose but you do not design or influence their base drives.
