Dr. Shanker on Child & Adult Brain Development
Posted by otryba | Filed under Uncategorized
This is a fascinating, hour-long interview on supporting children AND adults in growing into their full neurological potential and touches upon many of the themes discussed in my previous blog posts. It exposes the listener to a number of the subtleties and complexities of brain development and “MOVING BEYOND THE MIDDLE AGES” (the title of one of Dr. Shanker’s later papers) in our relationship to children, each other and ourselves.
At www.DeepFreedomNow.com, I am committed to clear, scientific appreciation for our human experience along with a perspective that in-forms itself of the wisdom & experience gathered by ways of life that have survived harmonically in human and biological environments over tens of thousands of years.
“Dr. Stuart Shanker is a Distinguished Research Professor of Philosophy and Psychology at York University and currently serving as Director of the Milton and Ethel Harris Research Initiative (MEHRI), an initiative whose goal is to build on new knowledge of the brains development, and help set children (including those with developmental disorders) on the path towards emotional and intellectual health.”

Great video, so many insightful moments…
I love it when the science reflects, speaks back to me what I am understanding intutitively, what is being revealed internally as I am going spontaneously through my own process…
Looking forward to exploring more of thier work and seeing what comes form it, very encouraging indeed - thanks for sharing!
Best Wishes
