The Link Between The Lack of Touch and Violence
Manage episode 432965743 series 3438909
Touch And Violence
“In the 1960s, anthropologist James Prescott carried out a very large scale study of child rearing and violence across different societies. He foun dthat those societies which gave less touching and affection to young children, had by far the most violence amongst adults.
"It's clear that the more tender and warm are the lives of children, the safer and more loving they will be as adults.” Steve Biddulph, Raising Boys
In the UK at the moment there is a lot of violence on the streets.
I read the above quote today and thought that I would share a few ideas about why this violence might be happening.
Could it have anything to do how we bring our children up?
Could it be that so many of the leaders in the UK in medicine, and politics used to talk about the need for less touch? Leave them to cry?
I talk about Sarah Ockwell Smith who I interviewed here: https://youtu.be/ijqYaxlXK34
And I talk about Nick Duffell who I interviewed here: https://youtu.be/gJ1MIdS6wiY
Take care,
Piers
