Research by Narayan etc al
(2018) and later by Bethell
(2019) has shown that a set of
experiences known as ‘Positive
& Benevolent Childhood
Experiences’ are crucial for a
person’s good mental and
physical health, now and
through into their adult life.
People who had these
experiences are able to hold
down a job, maintain positive
relationships, keep to the law
and lead a healthy and
successful life.
It is therefore imperative that
we secure these experiences
for all children. Behaviourist
approaches have a detrimental
impact on these vital
childhood experiences.
See Course 3: Skills & Strengths Part 4: Brain Shaping, for more information on these experiences.
