The Science of Resilience
Part II
Metacognitive Reflections on Paul Tough’s book, “Helping Children Succeed: What Works and Why”, The Atlantic, June 2016
The first place where we can help with the science of adversity is home. In their early lives, children depend on parents/other adults’ speech and facial expressions to make sense of the world around them. These ‘lively’ impromptu interactions spark the regions of the brain that control emotions, cognition, language, and memory. Parents/other adults serve as external managers of stress. When external actions are uncertain (more so when children are upset), children are less likely to acquire the ability to regulate strong emotions and stressful situations. Distinctively, when parents/adults acknowledge children’s unpredictable moods with steady regulated facial and speech expressions, children are more likely to acquire the ability to manage their feelings.
Eric, I want to go back to a conversation you link had with Cole. You mentioned that one of the dream watches that you'd like to work on is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. The Streamliner is clearly a very link different product, but it riffs link on similar ideals – steel construction, integrated bracelet, '70s charm. I think it would be fair to say they share a similar area of origin. So how was it to finally play around in the integrated-bracelet arena?
The watch also appears in a steamier moment when Redford and link his love interest, Faye Dunaway, retreat to her apartment. As they're making out in her bedroom (1:07:31), the camera pans down to link both characters' hands, giving the link watch its only true close-up. The scene that follows shows Redford at a kitchen counter, his sleeves rolled up and the Doxa in full view.
