The Science of Mattering: Why Feeling Seen Is a Human Need | Gordon Flett – EP 733

but also you'll see a payoff for those superintendents out there who are just worried about the bottom line in terms of test scores. Test scores are higher too, because in fact they're engaged, they want to be there, they're learning. Mattering has a great learning and growth orientation that comes along with it, along with the hope. So we could do things, we could do things in business, and I know that the US Surgeon General, Dr. Murthy, when he was in charge, had Mattering as one of the five pillars

of workplace mental health as an extension of his work on loneliness and the loneliness epidemic. So places that really embrace this are going to see the benefits in a way that, you know, and other people will want to be there. That's the other thing in terms of attracting people and having your choice of who you'd like to have. So there's so many things that can be done societally. We just need to make it a priority once and for all rather than talking about it.

Do you believe we've lost time, perhaps even a generation, as Jonathan Haidt wrote about, by not elevating mattering sooner? Back in 2002, this big committee came up with the six keys to positive youth development. And the support for efficacy and mattering was one of the six key components. And then I traced it through.

ja sanoin, ettÀ mitÀ tapahtui. Paljon siitÀ keskittyy etÀopetukseen. MÀÀrÀykset pysyivÀt loppuun, koska mÀÀrÀykset eivÀt olleet enemmÀn tutkimuksen keskittymÀssÀ kuin ne ovat tÀnÀÀn. Tutkimuksen mÀÀrÀykset alkoivat kasvamaan vain silloin, kun ne alkoivat keskittyÀ. Jos puhutaan yksilöistÀ, kuten opettajista tai kouluttajista, he tietÀvÀt tÀmÀn. He tietÀvÀt arvoa nÀyttÀmÀÀn, ettÀ heidÀt kiinnostaa. Se on ollut loppuopetuksen.

Jos minÀ olisin siellÀ tekemÀssÀ nÀkökulmasta, minÀ sanoisin, ettÀ todennÀköisesti sieltÀ oli vastaus 20 vuotta aiemmin, eikÀ mitÀÀn systemaattista tai programmaattista tullut siitÀ, mitÀ minÀ pystyin nÀkemÀÀn. Ja muun muassa yritin miettiÀ, missÀ tÀmÀ tuli. Miksi se tuli heidÀn radarinsa, eikÀ se tullut heidÀn radarsinsa aiemmin 2000-luvun aikana. Ja se tuli tutkimuksesta maan ympÀristöistÀ ja erityisesti 4H-ympÀristöistÀ.

And this resonates with me because my daughter Allison, the psychologist, married a dairy farmer who was the kid across the hall. So I've talked to people in the community where two of our grandchildren are. And I remember I was talking to Jeremy's mother, who's co-running the dairy farm with him now. And I said, you know, the value of kids having a role and a responsibility where they know that their livelihood of the family might depend on it.

Well, farm communities, farm families learned this very early on. And of course it was tested back in the Great Depression and Dust Bowl days. And I said, but it's too bad that we don't find a way to take that focus and emphasis because everybody needs to feel needed. And when kids have a responsibility, like if you look at the dairy farm that our son-in-law operates with his mother, they're all needing to be involved with this. Even our daughter, the psychologist, when she's

not giving online therapy to some of the people she treats with problems like OCD. She's in charge of feeding the baby cats that are born. The idea that it's clearly documented that there's this benefit. Some of the higher community mattering scores come from farming communities, especially kids who are in 4H and going, again, let's just do what they do. But literally there was two decades lost and you could say three decades in terms of really

It's the stories and their content, but it's the people with you, like when you're reading stories together, or you want to share things together. There's a sense of community and communion there that makes a difference. But kids learn from the stories. Your book, I can't wait to actually see it. I know it's in the mail, but kids learn from the shared stories and also their stories. I would say this is a great opportunity to say to kids, what's your story?

Passion Struck with John R. Miles
The Science of Mattering: Why Feeling Seen Is a Human Need | Gordon Flett – EP 733

If you've ever felt like this, have you got something that you need to share? Do you think you could make a difference where you might be feeling lonely and then kids gravitate towards you? But yes, just seeing the difference and there's real life examples of this as well that I think can be pointed to that parents and teachers can point to in terms of somebody who has got on the mattering track and really made a difference in the lives of others. I'm fascinated by those people who

seem to be heaven sent. Angela Myers is one of them, by the way. I think it's no coincidence that Angel is in her first name, where she has dedicated herself to going around. She tells me she's talked to hundreds of thousands of kids, telling them stories, making them feel special, but mostly also wanting to hear from them in terms of how they're doing. So stories can make an incredible difference, though, and I'm very glad to learn about your book, and I knew that it's been in the works for

There's the message in the book, but there's also the conversations that come around the book, where a parent or an educator could say, okay, now let's talk about this concept in terms of a time when you might have felt you mattered or you didn't matter. It's a way of opening the doors to these conversations that need to take place. Also, mattering makes people feel good. I just had a paper accepted where I looked at some of these actual feelings

tÀmÀn tuloksen positiivisesta tunnistamisesta. Se antaa ympÀristöÀ, joka avaa uutisia tunteita. Kun se on ympÀristössÀ toivoa, miksei lapset sanoisivat, ettÀ ehkÀ minÀ voin olla joku, joka tekee eroja yhdessÀ ja nÀyttÀÀ heiltÀ, ettÀ minÀ pidÀn heiltÀ. Silloin saamme paljon enemmÀn opettajia, tutkijoita ja psykologiaa. Angela on tehnyt tÀtÀ, jossa hÀn oli koulun opettaja monia vuosia.

HÀn on tehnyt tÀmÀn, koska hÀn kertoi minulle, ettÀ joka viikolla hÀn valitsi viiden lapsen, jotta heille olisi yksityistÀ kiinnostusta, joita he eivÀt voi saada isommalle koululle. Ja hÀn sanoo, ettÀ viikon lopuksi nÀmÀ lapset ovat muodostuneet, koska opettaja on kÀsitellyt heidÀt, mutta kaikki tietÀvÀt, ettÀ kaikki saavat mahdollisuuden. Se tulee olemaan tÀllainen. Ja hÀn sanoo, ettÀ tÀssÀ on se, miten saamme lapset, jotka ymmÀrtÀvÀt, mitÀ tuntuu olevan tÀrkeÀÀ, ja tulevat, joita hÀn kutsuu olevan tÀrkeÀmpiÀ ympÀristöjÀ.

Ja hÀn tekee nyt työtÀ Appalachiaan, joissa on todella pahat alueet, yrittÀen antaa niiden lapsille tunnetta ja toivoa, lisÀksi kuin kuinka he olivat jo tunneet. HÀnen kÀsityksensÀ tÀstÀ on se, ettÀ hÀn nÀkee, miten se muodostaa elÀmÀÀ ja aina hyvÀllÀ tavalla. Ja erityisesti tarvittava, jos olet tehnyt kokemusta antimatteriin, sinun tÀytyy rakentaa positiivisen matterin asiaa.

valitsevat ihmisiÀ, sopivat erilaisesti ihmisiÀ, nÀet asioita, joita toiset eivÀt voi nÀhdÀ. Puhuin johtajalle, joka oli nyt yliopistossa, jossa oli tilanne, jossa opettaja oli pysynyt, en tiedÀ, mitÀ tapahtui, mutta kun hÀn tuli takaisin, koska hÀn tietÀisi, mitÀ tapahtuu, opettaja katsoi, ja hÀn katsoi tÀtÀ kaveria, joka on pysynyt itseÀnsÀ, tai mitÀ on tapahtunut, en tiedÀ, ja hÀn on asunut ruokalÀmpöllÀ toisten opettajien kanssa itse.

And he said, knowing what I knew about matter, I couldn't leave that guy sitting there by himself. I need to know that he was forgiven. He did his time for whatever was the problem. And that I was welcoming back. And this, this principal told me he then got promoted. And he said that when he went and told this fellow who he'd now built this connection with him, sort of built him back up. He says rare, but the other teacher, he started to cry because he was now losing

the guy that had seen him when everybody else was off to the side. So, you know, I do believe it can create this. And for kids, once kids learn about mattering, I know the New York Times article from about two years ago now had a write-in segment and kids were saying in there, you know, now that I know about this, I'm going to do something about it. But the part about the connection with the parents too, like undivided time,

where there's no looking at the phone and social media, where the kid is the focus. And I came up with this through Fluke, that our daughter Allison, who's now the psychologist, whenever she would go to bed, she'd have trouble going to sleep. So I invented something called Boy Stories, where I would start telling her sometimes truthful, sometimes fabricated stories about me growing up, starting with the time my friend and I went to

Olemme rakentaneet tÀmÀn yhdistelmÀn, koska vaikka hÀn olisi vanhempi, ja hÀn olisi aikaisemmin halunnut saada tÀmÀn, hÀn sanoi, ettÀ kertoisitko minulle naiskirjoituksen. Sanoin, ettÀ olet kuullut kaikkia, tehdÀ uuden. Yksi asia, jonka tein molemmilla lastemme kanssa, koska en ole kuitenkaan tuntenut, ettÀ olen saanut tarpeeksi aikaa heidÀn kanssaan kesÀssÀ, eikÀ opettaa kesÀkurssia kesÀssÀ, oli, ettÀ loppuun loppuun loppuun, meillÀ olisi parkki.
