In this new Eduardo Punset documentary, "Educate to make citizens", of which I show you a part, the necessary reforms are proposed to make the school the place where children learn not to be violent by not being objects of violence themselves.
Eduardo Punset's programs have always fascinated me, as he is able to disseminate scientific advances without fear of influencing emotional aspects.
Now I still like it better, because it is working hard to make people understand that emotion, education and respect for children's feelings is the most important thing a society can do to achieve a more just and happy world. In this new documentary, "Educate to make citizens", goes beyond.
Neuroscience today shows that children must be respected in their physical, evolutionary and affective needs, that letting them cry is dangerous for their psychological health and their brain demonstrating it on a scientific basis, and that educating in respect is essential. The baby's brain works with love.
In education, school reform is an essential challenge. The teacher must recover the experiential and emotional facet in his relationship with the child, allowing him to be through his creativity and his innate desire to learn with what he can move forward. Protecting him, taking care of his heart, rather than pushing to increase an empty knowledge that he will soon forget.
You can see the full documentary on Eduardo Punset's blog, Networks for Science. I encourage you to do it.
For me it has been very comforting to hear the world's greatest experts in education and the struggle for Peace speak in a way with which I feel identified and the aspects that I always try to communicate as the best path for the education of children .
