Are We Failing Our Children? | Shelja Sen | TEDxGateway

The talk highlights our society's damaging practices that leave millions of children struggling with shame, rejection and invisibility.

It proposes a simple idea for parents, teachers and anybody who works with children which can help our children live with dignity, worthiness and hope. So that together we can build a world where no child is left invisible.

Dr Shelja Sen is child & adolescent psychologist, family therapist, a parent, co-founder of Children First Institute of Child & Adolescent Mental Health and author of All You Need is Love, The Art of Mindful Parenting and Imagine, No Child Left Invisible. Shelja aligns herself with collaborative practices like narrative therapy and other post modern therapies that honour the dignity of the person and work at generating richer narratives. She believes that we have to work at building ecosystems that nurture emotionally safe spaces for children and youth at home, schools and larger community. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
