Editor's Notes
- #2: We want you to take part in this conversation, ask questions and add comments. It takes a school or a family or community or a tribe. Some time it breaks down. As in the case with James. Tell the story.
- #34: These same long-term health effects are seen in all culturally conquered indigenous populations in the world.
- #43: How young will want to help? If adult drops clothes pin and looks distressed child picks it up and gives it to the adult. If the adult looks disinterested the child leaves it alone. Research at the Max Planck Institute in Germany showed that eighteen month old children spontaneously try to help an adult who drops and object by retrieving it.* (Warneken & Tomasello, 2006) Other research shows that 9 month old children prefer to play with toys that have been observed helping rather than those that show hurting behavior. Helping behavior is deeply programmed into the human brain, but cultures either build on this capacity or fail to develop it. THIS RESEARCH IS ELABORATED IN THE DBL BOOK. * Video link to research: www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11641621/
