2
Good morning, that was beautiful.
3
You know, right before Fred Rogers died, his team had actually contacted me to try to present the case for why television should keep at the pace of Mr. Rogers' neighborhood.
4
So we were about to plan that whole thing and then he passed away.
5
But it was an amazing thing to think about the generations of people that have learned to understand their feelings, to make them mentionable and manageable.
6
What I'm going to talk to you today is about how schools can combine with technology in the way of promoting self-regulation.
7
So I'm going to do this with no slides, but with one model of the brain.
8
So if you reach under your chairs, glued underneath there you'll find, if you reach in there, pull out your hand and take your hand model, there, and put your thumb in the middle, and put your fingers over the top.
9
This is a very - my daughter never wants me to say this but - a handy model of the brain.
10
It's oriented like this.
11
We're going to talk about the connection among three things.
12
We are going to talk about this brain that's in your head, that has the face over here, and has a top of the brain, the lower parts of the brain.
13
The part of the brain connected to the whole body comes through the spinal cord, in addition to some other ways.
14
This brain sits in your body - we are going to talk about the brain and the body.
15
We are also going to talk about the mind, which is different from the brain.
16
And we are going to talk about the mind and its connection to the brain and the body.
17
Then we are going to talk about the third thing, which is, we are going to talk about relationships.
18
So those three things we're going to cover today: talking about relationships, the mind, and the brain.
19
When you really think about this for a while, you can come up with some fascinating ways where you can understand how, for example, Mr. Rogers television show experienced by a young child within a family setting could actually promote something called self-regulation.
20
And so, we'll have to talk about what is regulation, and we'll have to even address the question of what is the self.
21
So for me, whenever we use a word, we need to make sure we understand what we mean by it, so we have a shared understanding if we are going to do something about it.
22
So, how did Mr. Rogers create the experience where kids can learn that feelings are mentionable and they're manageable?
23
How did he do that?
24
Well, when you think about how he did it, you come up with this really fundamental way that schools, in fact, can embrace the wisdom that Mr. Rogers had for all of us, and teach not only reading, writing, arithmetic - very important 3 Rs - but another 3 Rs I'm going to suggest to you, which are the core of my talk, which is reflection, first extra R, relationships, the next R, and the third one is resilience.
25
Because when you build a certain kind of approach to reflection, kids actually develop the capacity to mention their feelings and to then be able to manage them, exactly what Mr. Rogers said we ought to be able to do.
26
And that's the basis of the emotional intelligence actually, and it's the basis, as you'll see in the moment, of social intelligence, because when you understand your own feelings and learn to manage them, you actually can understand other people.
27
It's actually incredible.
28
So, this reflective ability is something schools can teach.
29
That's the next R.
30
What about relationships?
31
We're going to see that this brain we're going to get into in a moment has the capacity to make relationships work really well, and people actually thrive and feel good about themselves and good about others.
32
So you develop kindness and compassion toward yourself - really an important place to start - and kindness and compassion toward others.
33
So this R of relationship really looks at all the research on well-being and says, you know, "The number one factor whether you're looking at mental health, physiologic health, medical health, longevity or happiness, the number one factor in all those studies is relationships.
34
How we have connections, positive connections with other people is the best predictor of all those things.
35
In fact, if you study wisdom, you find that wisdom is based on having these positive relationships.
36
You probably have heard of these amazing studies which show that when you are given, let's say, 20 dollars, and you're asked to spend it on yourself or give it in the service of someone else, gifted to someone else, the circuits in your brain that show you did the right thing, these reward circuits driven by a transmitter called dopamine, they get active when you give to someone else, which goes along with the study that when you give in service of other people, you're actually happier yourself.
37
So if you want to be happier, actually think about someone else.
38
That's the lesson from that.
39
So relationships in schools can teach all that.
40
So that's the relationship part.
41
And now the resilience we're going to get into when we talk about the brain.
42
But let's take our hand model out and let's look at it.
43
I'm going to watch my watch because part of how I'm going to manage myself is time.
44
So I think I've been going for, I would guess, 5 minutes, but I need my timer to tell me; there's my timer right there.
45
Beautiful. I guessed it right.
46
We're going to do this hand model of the brain, and I'm going to teach you all how to do this.
47
And this is something that in schools that I work with, we teach kids, starting in kindergarten about this hand model of the brain.
48
You're going to see that it can be very useful to do.
49
When kids go towards adolescence, their brain changes a lot, they really need to know about their brain.
50
So let's take the hand model out.
51
And put your thumb in the middle and curl your fingers over the top.
52
So this is orientation of the brain.
53
Let's do the parts and let's think about the question as we get into these brain parts.
54
Why, if we're talking about self-regulation, would we care about the parts of the brain?
55
And what does a relationship has to do with the brain anyway?
56
And if self-regulation is really a mental function, because the self is really part of your mind, then is the mind just the brain, or is it something else?
57
So these are the kinds of things we need to really think deeply about.
58
And in the world I work in, it's called interpersonal neurobiology.
59
We actually deeply dive into these scientific questions by combining all the fields of science that exist into one perspective.
60
So it's called interpersonal neurobiology.
61
The brain is a good place to start looking at this, because believe it or not, it's actually the simplest of all that stuff.
62
So let's go through it.
63
First, you have the spinal cord, and this is basically a collection of cells, neurons, that allow energy and information to flow from the body itself, the signals coming up.
64
The spinal cord and also a nerve called the vagus nerve, they all bring stuff from the body up into the skull part of the nervous system.
65
Some people call that the head brain, some people just call it the brain, but actually you have a brain around your heart, and you have a brain around your intestine.
66
So the word brain when I use it means the whole body and how it processes information through the flow of energy.
67
That's basically the biological understanding of what we mean by the nervous system.
68
But the head brain is what we're going to focus on now, because it's really the most studied of all these brain parts.
69
When you get up into the head part of the brain, if you lift up your fingers and lift up your thumb, you arrive at the first part of the nervous system, first in the sense it's the deepest, first in the sense that when you're in your mother's womb, it's the first to develop in utero, and first also meaning it's the first we evolved to have.
70
So it's over 3 hundred million years old.
71
It's the old reptilian brain, having collections of neurons called nuclei that are responsible for things like - (Laughter) This is a good example. Let's take another pause.
72
Let's all turn our telephone off and make sure that if they are going to vibrate, you have it near your body, not sitting next to your neighbor.
73
You turn the sound off, because that's another thing that happens; technology, if you haven't noticed, invades whatever context you're trying to create.
74
And rather than technology running us, we should run technology.
75
It's really, really important, because these things just take off - I was just walking home from the local school we have, and I saw a mom carrying her year-and-a half- year-old child in her arms, texting for two and a half blocks, and missing the opportunity to connect with her child because she allowed technology to intrude on her relationship.
76
You probably know from the studies of the University of Washington by Andy Meltzoff and Patricia Kuhl that the technology called "Baby" - it doesn't matter what it's called.
77
It was technology that said, "You can have your child develop faster in their brain and language if you show these videos," and they showed it was just the opposite, because relationships are what stimulate growth and learning.
78
If we use technology, that's fine, but if you replace relationships with technology, this study demonstrated, you get just the opposite of what you want to get.
79
So we have to actually be present fully, and check out what's happening in the environment, and not pollute it with technology, or not pollute it with actual chemical pollutants, too.
80
OK, so now we're in the brainstem.
81
The brainstem is going to keep us awake and alert, so it has those nuclei that do that.
82
The brainstems are also going to have the fight-flight-freeze reaction.
83
When you have a lot of competing things going on, you can have a very agitated, fearful reaction to that, like it's threatening, or you can have a fight reaction to that, or you can freeze.
84
There's even a fourth option, which is total collapse.
85
It has its advantages in lots of different ways, and depending on the situation, but that's what the brainstems are all about - very old impulses that are created.
86
If you put your thumb over the top, this is the part of the brain - we have two thumbs for it to be ideal, but most of us have just one thumb - this is a...I say that because I once gave this lecture and I didn't give that exception, and someone said, "I went to a gas station, someone had two thumbs." We want to honor that. So most of us have one.
87
(Laughter) It's left and right side once you get up there.
88
This is the limbic area.
89
It developed 200 million years ago, and it also is the second area to begin developing in utero.
90
That goes like this.
91
To demonstrate how this works up, Lewis, why don't you come up?
92
I want to invite a 13-year-old boy, who is going to present to you later on.
93
Lewis, come on, say hi to everybody. Lewis: Hey.
94
Daniel Siegel: Come on, step on that little red carpet. Thanks, Lewis.
95
L: You're welcome.
96
DS: Have I talked to you about the brain before?
97
L: No. DS: No.
98
So I'm going to teach you a little bit about the brain, because I want to show that - Lewis is very bright, but you can teach this to 13-year-olds whose brains are also changing.
99
Let's do the hand model. Very good.
100
Here's what happens, Lewis: this limbic area helps you work with the brainstem to create your emotions.
101
It actually works closely with other areas to create various forms of memory.
102
Do you feel close to your mom?
103
L: Yeah. DS: Yeah, great.
104
So this is the part that lets you feel connected to her, OK?
105
Now put your fingers over the top like that. Right.
106
This is a part that actually is going to grow once you come out of your mom's belly, out of her womb.
107
And this is a part that's very much shaped by the experiences you have.
108
Yeah. This is called the cortex; it's the outer part of the brain.
109
So the back here.
110
Turn your head sideways. We'll use it as a demo. Right there.
111
So this is the back part of the brain like that.
112
The back part of your brain in general represents the outside world.
113
There's all sorts of layers to it and it makes maps to the outside world.
114
Very good. And then - (Laughter) You are one handsome guy.
115
So this front part of the brain here is called your frontal cortex.
116
It allows you to think and reflect.
117
When we're talking about reflections, this is the part of the brain that actually lets you be able to manage and mention your emotions.
118
Isn't that cool? L: That's really cool.
119
DS: So the kinds of things that you do in your mental life, like the mind basically is - you know like you're playing a game, when you feel excited?
120
That's sensation you call subjective experience, and that's a part of what the mind is.
121
Do you notice sometimes you can be aware of some things, and sometimes you're not aware of things?
122
L: Yeah. DS: Yes. So, awareness is also part of what the mind does.
123
But the third thing the mind does is it helps regulate how all this information flow is happening in your awareness, in your subjective experience, and even in how you communicate it to other people.
124
So the reason we're talking about reflection - reflection, when you look inward, what I call time-in, develops this part of the brain.
125
Now, take a look at these two middle finger nails there.
126
This is part of an area called the prefrontal cortex. Look at me.
127
It's right behind your forehead, right there.
128
Lift up your finger and put it back down.
129
What do you notice is kind of unique about anatomical position of these two middle finger nails?
130
L: That’s right under the thumb. DS: Exactly!
131
So it's right under the thumb, and this is the part of your brain that actually allows the cortex to go to that thumb area called the limbic area.
132
And notice is it also near your palm? L: Mhm.
133
DS: Yes, so it also connects the brainstem to take information from the body, too.
134
So it comes up your spinal cord, up your brain stem, to your limbic area, especially in your right side of the brain, and goes right to that area.
135
Here's the cool thing. Watch me.
136
(Laughter) What did you feel when I was doing that? L: Sad.
137
DS: Sad, very good. Excellent. L: Then happy.
138
DS: Then happy, because we're goofing, right? L: Yeah.
139
DS: So the sad thing, this part of your brain actually lets you pick up what's going on inside of my nervous system.
140
Isn't that amazing? L: Yes.
141
DS: So we have a relationship, because I'm going to send energy to you, and this part of the brain, right there, which is right here behind your forehead, it's going to take in what's going on in me, it takes in what's going on in your body, like your heart, your intestines, it takes in what's going on in your brainstem, your limbic area, and what goes on throughout your whole cortex.
142
And it takes these separate things and it pulls them together.
143
Now, you know what the word we use for its taking separate and putting together those?
144
L: No. DS: Integration. L: Aha.
145
DS: So here's what this area does: it integrates everything.
146
It integrates your body, your brainstem, your limbic area, your cortex, and even your relationships with other people.
147
So when you reflect on things, and you have relationships where, like, two people honor each other, and then care about each other with connections and communication, we call that an integrated relationship.
148
Here's the amazing take home message for you and for everybody: when you have reflection, and you have relationships that are caring and connecting, you actually stimulate the growth of the integrative fibers in the brain, and these are the fibers that allow you to have resilience.
149
So the key to this whole thing is - I know you have been experiencing video games, right?
150
L: Oh, yeah. DS: And you've learned - you watch this.
151
This part of the brain allows you to be regulating your impulses.
152
Does that sound familiar, controlling your impulses?
153
L: Yes. DS: It allows you to do that.
154
It allows you to actually be aware of your feelings.
155
It allows you to be aware of other people's feelings, and understand them.
156
It allows you to be moral, think about what's good for everyone, including the planet.
157
It allows you to actually have intuition.
158
It allows you to know where you've been in the past, where you are right now, where you'll go in the future, and allows you to tune in on other people.
159
That you get by reflecting on the inner world, being able to mention and manage your feelings.
160
It allows you to develop it when you have the relationships that are supportive, like with teachers and with parents.
161
And it allows you to develop all this so you're resilient.
162
So here's what I say about schools.
163
There's a policy that they say, "No child left behind".
164
I say we should have a policy where we have reflection, relationships, and resilience, so it's no prefrontal cortex left behind.
165
(Laughter) How does that sound?
166
L: That sounds better than "No child left behind".
167
DS: There you go, good. Thank you very much.
168
(Applause) Thank you so much. You are so cool.
169
L: You too, man. Thank you.
170
(Applause)

Contesto e Sfondo
Nel suo intervento, Daniel Siegel, MD, esplora il concetto di integrazione neurale e mindfulness, sottolineando come le esperienze emotive e le relazioni siano fondamentali per lo sviluppo umano. Attraverso un modello semplice del cervello, Siegel illustra come la comprensione e la gestione dei sentimenti possano essere insegnate nelle scuole. L'approccio di Siegel si basa sull'importanza della riflessione, delle relazioni e della resilienza, che possono aiutare gli studenti a migliorare non solo nella loro vita scolastica, ma anche nelle loro interazioni sociali quotidiane.
Le 5 Frasi Chiave per la Comunicazione Quotidiana
- “I sentimenti sono menzionabili e gestibili.” – Un invito a riconoscere e esprimere le emozioni.
- “La riflessione è la chiave per sviluppare l'intelligenza emotiva.” – Sottolinea l'importanza della consapevolezza.
- “Le relazioni positive sono il miglior indicatore di salute e felicità.” – Un'affermazione potente sull'importanza delle connessioni umane.
- “Dare agli altri aumenta la nostra gioia.” – Un invito all'altruismo come fonte di felicità.
- “Conoscere il proprio cervello è fondamentale per tutt'e noi.” – Un promemoria dell'importanza dell'autoconoscenza.
Guida Passo-Passo per il Shadowing
Il metodo di shadowing in inglese è altamente efficace per migliorare la pronuncia e la fluidità. Ecco un piano in tre fasi per utilizzare il video di Siegel a questo scopo:
- Ascolta attentamente: Guarda il video inizialmente senza cercare di ripetere. Concentrati sui toni e sulle emozioni delle frasi. Annota le frasi chiave come quelle sopra.
- Pratica con il Shadow Speak: Ripeti le frasi mentre le ascolti. Utilizza il modello della mano presentato da Siegel per avere un'idea visiva delle parti del cervello. Questo ti aiuterà a collegare le parole ai sentimenti espressi.
- Rifletto e interagisci: Dopo aver fatto pratica, prova a raccontare le emozioni o i concetti appresi in inglese. Questo non solo migliora la tua pratica di conversazione in inglese, ma favorisce anche una comprensione più profonda delle relazioni interpersonali.
Incorporando queste tecniche nella tua routine di apprendimento, potrai non solo migliorare la pronuncia inglese, ma anche arricchire la tua capacità di connetterti emotivamente con gli altri attraverso la lingua.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
