TyötÀ hÀn tekee on juuri siinÀ, missÀ se alkaa, ja niiden yksiin ja zeroihin, joita aloitat vaikuttamaan, koska ennen kuin ymmÀrrÀt, kuinka kauan rippu muuttaa yhden elÀmÀn, se voi muuttaa tulevaisuuden jÀrjestelmÀn. Yksi muiden ulottuvuusasiat, joita minulla oli kirjassa, on se, ettÀ mielestÀni vanhemmat viettÀvÀt vÀhemmÀn ja vÀhemmÀn aikaa lapsiin tÀydellisessÀ keskeisessÀ. Joten ajatteluprosessini oli, ettÀ jos heille antaa kirja, joka on mukaan, ja se tarvitsee noin 15-20 minuuttia,
to properly go through this and they do it repeatedly. You're helping the parent also see the five year old in themselves, but you're giving them undivided attention with the child on this topic, reinforcing again and again, you matter and changing the conversation that they're having with the kid.
koska se aloittaa mahdollisuuden kysyÀ heille enemmÀn lÀpi kysymyksiÀ, joita toivon, ettÀ tuodaan enemmÀn rippua. Luuletko, ettÀ on tietoa, joka tuottaa sitÀ? Olemme aina puhuneet kontagionista asioista, jotka eivÀt ole niin hyviÀ, mutta uskon, ettÀ kun kokeilet sen, ja tiedÀt tÀmÀn konseptin, ja olen nÀhnyt tÀtÀ myös nuorten kanssa, ettÀ kun katsot maailman
can still care for older kids as well. Gord, I wasn't even going to bring this up, and it's not something I had talked to you about, but since you brought up these different types of programs, one thing I've learned by doing a podcast as long as I have is people don't pay for information, they pay for the application of information. So something I try to do with every episode is I create a workbook so that people will take the ideas from the podcast and apply it in their lives.
Kun kirjoitin E-Matter Luma, ajattelin, ettÀ sama asia liittyy lapsen kirjoitteluun. Se on yksi asia, jota lapsi lukee, ja toinen asia, jota lapsi laittaa harjoittelemaan. TÀmÀn takia olen tehnyt kaksi tÀrkeÀÀ asiaa. EnsimmÀinen on se, ettÀ olen oppinut tÀstÀ koulua Grand Juncturein Coloradoissa.
that needed money so that they could create a new environment in their playgrounds for kids. So they started this kindness challenge. And before they knew it, they had 2000 acts of kindness done in this small school of 300 kids.
Se antoi minulle idean luoda tÀmÀn jÀrjestelmÀn, jonka aloitamme samalla aikaan, kun kirja tulee ulos, nimeltÀ Pass the Ripple. Ideana on luoda kirja, ja sitten aloittaa Ripples of Kindnessin, josta luodaan, ettÀ he voivat nÀhdÀ, kuinka kauhean heidÀn Ripple on menossa maailmassa. Olemme myös luomassa segmentiÀ opettajille ja opettajille,
Se tulee olemaan vuoden aikavÀlinen koulutus, jossa he voivat ottaa Ripple-idean ympÀristöön sekÀ yliopistojen kuin koulutusohjelmien kanssa, jotta tÀmÀ jatkuu loppuun vuoden lopuksi. Me voimme luoda kirjaa kaikkien lapsien kanssa, joka nÀyttÀÀ, kuinka he ovat olleet heroja oman elÀmÀnsÀ ja maailman ympÀrillÀ.
and then I partnered with a division at Kaplan called AB Studios, and we're actually creating a six course interactive
Ecosystem where it's like a Pixar like environment where the kids can go through these different courses. And then for the educators, we're giving them school tools that they can use that supplement the coursework. So it becomes a whole program to embed this into more children's lives. So I know I hadn't told you about it, but I'm really excited about. Well, it's great. And I'm glad you did because it satisfies my need to see things happen.
My final question for you is after a lifetime of studying this, if a child or an adult out there is listening right now who might feel unseen, what would you want them to hear? I would want them to hear the part about how they can be seen by engaging in things for public service just or checking in on somebody where you don't have to wait and you can see it. And there are cases when I talk about
What a way to close. Thank you again, Gordon. Thank you. That brings us to the end of today's conversation with Gordon Flett. If this episode stayed with you, it's likely because it touched something deeper than insight. It touched recognition. Because what Gordon's work reveals is this. Anti-mattering is not a minor feeling.
It's a psychological state that reshapes how we see ourselves and the world. Loneliness and insignificance often travel together, what he calls double jeopardy, feeling unseen and alone at the same time. And mattering is not optional in childhood. It's a core developmental need that shapes identity, agency and resilience.
The most important takeaway is that one person, one teacher, one parent, one moment of attention can change everything. Today's episode is a reminder that mattering doesn't require grand gestures. It's built in small moments, being noticed, being listened to, being remembered. And today, as You Matter Luma enters the world, that message feels more important than ever. Because every child deserves to hear those words before the world teaches them otherwise.

Seuraavaksi jatketaan arkkimattomuus- ja ihmisoikeuksien arkkimattomuudesta Dr. Martin Shawin kanssa. New York Timesin parhaimmilta kirjoilijoilta, joka antaa meidÀt uuteen ympÀristöön myyntiin.

And I'm always looking for something that has greater depth. Until then, remember, you matter when your presence is felt. You matter when your absence is noticed. And you matter most when you help someone else feel the same. I'm John Miles, and you've been Passion Struck.
