Problem
Watch the Ted Talk YouTube video "What is the most important influence on child development | Tom Weisner | TEDxUCLA" and reflect on Tom Weisner's TED Talk. Tom Weisner is an emeritus professor of anthropology and psychiatry at UCLA. He studies and teaches about culture and human development; families and children at risk; and evidence-informed policies to improve the lives of children and families.
Tom asks, If you could do one thing - the most important thing - to influence a young child's life, what would that be (it's likely not what you first bring to mind)? We want to improve the well-being of children - our own, our community, and the world, so thinking globally about this question is vital.
