You can be afraid of the right things and still not act accordingly. Most people have a sense of what's the right thing to do and what isn't. It does take courage to act though. He's maybe too humble to realize. Edit: Most well-known example of this is the bystander effect. Everyone knows it's good and moral to help the person in need or the person being attacked and it would take comparatively little effort with everyone's help combined. But no one does anything, despite the calls for help, the cries, the screams. Acting is much more difficult than just being afraid of something. Being afraid of something makes most people act less, actually, not more. We've seen that over and over again in Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany. It's a crowd psychology thing that might not apply when analyzed on the level of the individual. Maybe it's not courage but just a really healthy state of mind that's incredibly difficult to obtain and maintain for most people.

My approach is to let the child fail wherever the damage is not going to be excessive. It's just too easy to intercede as it save time and makes my life easier. What takes more effort is to subtly create situations in which the child is challenged by a situation where you can just step back and let them deal with it. This worked well with our second child, but with out first child we learn this lesson too late and she is a spot on example for this video, possibly due to our helicopter parenting early on. Examples: 18yo = Struggle to turn up to her waitress job, taking hours to get ready has no desire for independence, doesn't want a drivers license, has to be practically threatened to do anything new. Has tendencies similar to a Japanese shut in. 14yo = is able to navigate international passenger terminals, studies abroad and is planning his career. Took control of his heating, training and education. The 14yo will be an 'adult' as it's measured today well before 18, the 18 yo will probably still be hiding from the world for the next decade. The big difference is the ability to deal with change and adversity. The world today is delivering change and adversity is rising. This is where all the wokeness is coming from. Inability to deal with change in a world that's changing faster and faster.

Even our low income jobs at the time, we were still able to save.

I'm not sure about the actual safe places at universities now days, but from what I read, I understand it to be different then what Peterson described the reason not to have it. And by that I mean people that are attacked at home, at work, in public can have a safe place at the university to interact/talk with others without being verbally or physically intimidated. Peterson's remarks about safe place is the opposite of what you want for hyper anxiety people does not fit what the safe place is designed for. Women's shelters is an extreme example, but it illustrates that you would in fact protect the women in a "safe place" due to the situation at home either verbal or physical abuse. You wouldn't argue that women should be exposed to more and more radical abuse right after they have been abused. So, in a way people that actually need a safe place are constantly exposed to unsafe situations and don't fit what Peterson is arguing. Now, do I think that most people using safe spaces at universities, etc. fit into this situation, most certainly not, but undoubtably some would fit this.

I recall the "self esteem" push in the elementary schools during the early 80's. Having put several children through public schools in a blue state, I have a keen awareness of how this fragility came into being. After the self esteem push, the kids came to the false realization that they were the center of the universe. Their universe. Their truth. They believe that any and all problems that arose were born of outside influences such as problematic teachers and schoolyard bullies. The child never learned self soothing or problem solving apart from parental intervention. That generation never learned solo or parallel play. Every game or activity had to be started by adults. Once the adult taught the game to the kids, they immediately lost interest and would follow the adult crying, "What's next"? The ability for imaginative play became dead. It still is to a point. Around this time, the blame game was born. The child comes to believe that if problems exist, it's never their fault on any level. Someone else will be the one that needs change. Even the child's skewed thinking is never challenged. If the child feels a certain way, it's deemed legitimate even if clearly wrong. This current generation has been raised by the most sensitive of all imaginable individuals and their inability for self awareness is almost nil. I'm so glad I instilled hard work in my child and he had the ability to think critically about himself in order to assume responsibility for his part in a problem he is having to tackle.

Sure you do; If they get the wrong values and start thinking on their own, then you hover. It's why those on the right refuse to let their kids leave the house now, incase they get weird ideas of being an adult. Sad thing is, Jordan thinks these people are progressives and liberals XD

I got one. I only got him for part of his childhood, i have been extremely lucky to have him not turn out afu, in fact im blessed that he's on a much better path than I have ever been and will continue to do so. We both share as adults many of the same values as Jordan Peterson. Its reassuring and encouraging as well as highly informative. How could anyone pass this man off as evil? How absurd! JP is a superhero if there EVER could be one. Get this man a cape and an entourage! Imagine a world where real leaders hold great positions, thanks Professor!

Wow, what an awesome compliment that guy gave Jordan. That was totally true and really right on for him to say so.

When an entire generation has been told since they were born, that you “should tell an adult”, “everyone’s a winner”, “it’s about participating”, “don’t do it if you don’t want to” - then this is what we end up with.

I love how people put a definition on Jordan , than he corrects them , it is always enlightening , IMHO .

My friend and I used to manage a farm-stay for years and had mostly young families with littles kids staying. We had a variety of animals which we’d introduce the kids to and show them how to be and feed animals (including large, powerful animals). Most of the children were so fearful and anxious about EVERYTHING let alone being with farm animals. Typically, we noticed that the more the parents lacked authority and clear boundaries, the more fearful the children were. The good news was/is that by providing a strong example and showing them how to be with animals etc usually broke down the kid’s fear hugely within the period of their stay and they became much more confident and self assured which animals also responded to. I don’t how much that affected their lives after that, but at least the kids got some direct experience of practical life and realised they could handle it…still not sure about the parents though.

I find it frustrating that as a "geriatric millenial" I am constantly hearing that millenials have shaped and formed culture already even though we represent a sliver of a minority in leadership positions to include college professors, physicians, legislators, CEOs, judges, celebrities...you get the point. We have five children and the rules for overprotection were in place before they got here. I, as a mother, feel suffocated by the obsession with physical safety, not really from peers but from society as a whole. I mean we didn't create the law that a child needs a carseat until they are 7. I use to babysit when I was 12, but now it is illegal for me to use my 12 year old as a sitter. If you don't watch your child, even in their sleep until a certain age, you're considered borderline neglectful. In the 80s parents gave out Doritos and PB&J for lunch, left their kids in the car while they shopped, drove kids in the car not only without carseats but without seatbelts too, allowed their kids to ride their bikes everywhere with out a helmet. They instutionalize children by daycare, public school, all the way up to college, regulate everything and the judgement regarding safety is relentless. Honestly, the worshipping of safety crushes spirits and will result in epidemics of suicide. I homeschool to give my children freedom from the ridiculous safety standards society thrusts on parents and children, among other absurd and illogical theories. We just checked out, bought 160 acres in the country in a community where people live in reality and I'm done with experts. They give guidance they themselves never used and are rarely anchored in reality, morality or science. Although I do appreciate Jordan Peterson.

Looks more like the politician wishing to score points by appearing to care and thereby to be re-elected and the civil servant to do so in order to justify her office and huge salary. In many cases too, it's plain greed. Remember when they in Thailand made it illegal to ride a moped without a helmet, I was certain, if one looked into things, one would find that the ones who promoted the law all had a finger in the big pie of helmet manufacturing and sales.

More recently, if a teacher enforces discipline on a student, they incur the wrath of the parent.

It is a shock for these kids to leave the house and find that the rest of the world doesn't feel the same as their parents. You should take a minute to think about hothouse plants as an example. Hothouse plants are generally superior to plants grown outside in every way except that they need a process called "hardening off" to allow them to survive outside.

Then, on the other end of the extreme, I was abused, ignored and neglected, and forced to learn about life without any guidance or support whatsoever. It took me longer to learn, and was very difficult. I am self taught in many things and, unfortunately, there are many gaps in my knowledge. I relish the opportunity to be properly taught by professionals in any area to alleviate the high anxiety I always felt, and still feel, as I had to struggle, and fail, and live in confusion. Even now, at 56, I don't have full comprehension about many areas of life. I always feel burdened because I was never properly trained in anything; even at how to be a human being. I had way too much responsibility way too soon in life, but the lack of guidance is what made it difficult for me. I grew up in a dysfunctional, abusive household that was devoid of love and filled with humiliation and competition. It was so difficult. Luckily for me I was always strangely very mature, but I can't wait for the day I feel like a complete "grown-up" who knows everything I should know to live happily. I know learning by experience can be great, and many people are successfully self taught. Perhaps it was my personality make-up, or due to the overwhelm I always felt being so alone and left to flounder on my own. I have some psychological issues now, and CPTSD due to abuse and neglect from my childhood, so I assume this is the reason it is difficult for me. I agree with Jordan Peterson, though, that children should not be overprotected. I love that man. Just venting. Thanks.

I'm the youngest of 4 children (which was a fairly average-size family back when I was a child), and 4 was enough to create a lot of family dynamic (especially since there wasn't a wide age spread between us). I can't imagine how different it would have been having no siblings or only 1. I would not have liked being an only child. During my childhood, parents didn't hover and watch their children all the time, or only allow them outside the house when a parent had the time to be outside watching. Children were expected to play together and use their imagination for entertainment. Parents didn't double as entertainers or playmates (which seems a very odd expectation nowadays). Of course, sometimes the parents and children did play together and have fun, but mostly children played with each other and worked out how to get along with each other. Children also did chores beginning at a young age, which taught us not only life skills but also how to carry responsibility. Chores were one way of gaining confidence, and a tangible reminder that while our parents had a lot of responsibility toward us, we also had responsibility to our family. Life wasn't all about taking, and we knew we weren't the center of the world.

And it's only in recent years that I realized we well off compared to everyone else we knew from school who I thought were better than us becausetheir parentswere educated.English was a second language for my parents.

"The worst thing you can do to an anxious person is to overprotect them". Seen that, 100% true, that person kept withdrawn into the overprotection and drifted further and further away from the social networks.

I, as a 51yrs old mother of a 13yrs old son supremely appreciate this discussion.

Peterson is absolutely correct. I had an overprotective mother, and her parenting philosophy was a disaster for me.

how good is Jordan Peterson?!?! I love listening to this guy, he makes too much sense and tackles every topic from every angle.. just brilliant !!

Jordan Peterson is without doubt the wisest man I have ever taken the time to listen to. He unfailingly speaks the truth, he knows his facts, he does his research, he interprets what he learns correctly, he is a monster of an intellect and long may he continue to help people, young and old, to live a better life and to question everything the "establishment" says and does, as it is rarely in the interest of the common man.

I come from the older millennial generation and I'm really thankful for it! 80's baby! Having 3 brothers helps, too and my mom had us young.

“Don’t handicap your children by making their lives too easy”

Being the youngest of seven with my father passing when I was two put me in a position of learning how sh!t rolls downhill with siblings. One way to dodge the rolling sh!t is by learning to cope by not giving anyone enough rope. Choose your battles. Never supply anyone the rope they’ll use to hang you. It’s good to grow up in a large family. I learned have the tools (the smarts) to cut the ropes whether it’s on the job or among a circle of friends,etc.

I was also in a family with 7 kids. As a kid I didn't think it was that weird to have so many siblings. Now I think my parents must have been insane. One thing that came out of it is crowds, noise, rowdiness, commotion. Those things don't bother me in the least since that's what it was like my whole childhood.

I was married for 15 years and I raised my son primarily alone. My husband was always at work. He worked 12-18 hour shifts, 6-7 days a week. I worked 8-12 hour shifts 5 days a week. So since I worked less it was my responsibility. I grew up with a mother that suffocated me and when it was time for me to leave her house she told me that me leaving was selfish to her. I never wanted to be anything like that woman. I raised my son to be strong and don't always look to me for answers. I made him research his answers. I also explained opinion vs facts. I wanted him to be able to stand on his own. Now he is an amazing man with a great work ethic. Women can raise children well under the right circumstances. It's better raise them to be self-reliant with guidance and to let them go and trust your raising.

Which generation is that? Certainly not Millennials. The Millennials have been the biggest mouth piece of every government and corporate talking point they have ever heard. It’s not rebellion when your protest is supported by Coke, Pepsi, Banks and politicians are walking right along with you. That’s not resistance, it’s support of a system. We take it and ask for seconds while pretending we are the resistance.

When he was 19 and not going to college I gave my son an ultimatum about when he had to move out and get his own place. It is still one of the hardest things I have ever done. Many years later I think he still resents it. However he found a place and got his own checking account etc.

I also have one child and had her late, with my husband. Although, I am very independent and never overly managed my daughter, as I also had things to get done. She did many things as a young girl like sending her to sleep over camp at a young age. She is now 19 and I expect her to solve her problems. She is not hyper anxious. I actually sent her out of her home state of Vermont to experience life, as Vermont overly manages children. Vermont does not represent a real word scenarios. The school system is not fostering resistance in our children. They are creating emotionally fragile children dependent on schools and the government to feel safe, and parents embrace this ideology.

Excellent talk. Perfect for these times.

Parents need to realize that they are not raising children, they are moulding future adults. We had consequences growing up and you may not have liked it but you learned. Yes some carried it to far, and those people still exist even today, but the family has regressed into ruin.

Brilliance and humility. A rare combination these days.

Wishing I have teachers who have mindset like these two valuable professors when I was in college…. Big fan of Dr.Jordan Peterson!

I'm a millenial and my father and mother both took off when I was 14 and I raised myself no child protective services because nobody knew what was going on. I still suffer to make any money or have any friends. People these days are the absolute worst creatures on earth.

None of us gets to choose our parents - it’s very isolating without someone you can trust in your corner and it’s incredibly hard to know who to trust if you’ve been abandoned. You found your way to this clip and JBP - if there’s a role model to latch onto its this man - you’ve got good instincts to get you here to listen and learn - keep tuning in and seeking out guidance to help you navigate life - I’ve learned more online in 2-3 years than I have in 30 yrs - it’s like a crash course - Dr Thomas Sowell and Douglas Murray are two great thinkers to follow as well - Uncommon Knowledge and Uncommon History

I love listening to you. You make me think and I have a better understanding of life and my place in it. Thank you

Its not that I'm courageous, it's about being afraid of the right things. Yep, so true.

Thank you for making the highly complex understandable even to me. When I listen to you or read your words very often I am surprised that it is exactly what I couldn't clarify on my own.
