Rewiring Childhood: Understanding Children as Technology in the Information Age

Send us a textHave you ever considered that we're raising children in a technological world without treating them as technologies themselves? Dr. Christopher Kevin Slaton, known as "the brain talker," challenges conventional thinking about childhood development with his revolutionary concept of "brain talk." This episode explores how understanding children as sophisticated neural networks rather than merely physical beings transforms our approach to education, parenting, and mental health.  Dr. Slaton introduces his "human systems science toolkit," explaining how children possess built-in problem-solving capabilities through the connection of brain, body, and senses. When children understand these neural pathways, they develop what he calls a "cool, calm, and collect sense of feel" that helps them navigate emotional challenges. Through reflective thinking, children learn to process experiences, clear mental space during distress, and gain insight into their own behaviors and reactions.  With over three decades of research focused on families affected by America's drug epidemics, Dr. Slaton presents Human Systems Science as a comprehensive framework for addressing today's crisis of self. His work spans numerous educational initiatives designed to enhance children's mental health and self-awareness. As one reviewer noted, "Dr. Slaton doesn't treat kids like problems to be fixed but people to be understood." Join us as we explore this paradigm shift that reimagines children as technologies with neural systems—a perspective that could revolutionize how we support young people in the information age.
