    The video discusses working with children to understand their movements, particularly focusing on 10-month-old Phoebe and 20-month-old Phillip. Phoebe, who is just starting to walk, is very interactive and socially aware, responding to the environment and people around her. The speaker notes the importance of observing typical children to better understand those with special needs. Through the interaction between Phoebe and Phillip, differences in their movements and responses are highlighted. Phoebe is more tentative but explorative, while Phillip, being older, seems to default to crawling when trying to move.

  • 00:00:00
    go
  • 00:00:02
    hey guys we've got a bunch of kids in
  • 00:00:04
    here
  • 00:00:05
    this young lady is phoebe and she's
  • 00:00:07
    probably about to do the whole live say
  • 00:00:09
    hi
  • 00:00:11
    she's just learning how to walk she's
  • 00:00:13
    here with her brother harrison
  • 00:00:15
    but one of the things is i we also have
  • 00:00:17
    phillip here which is felicia's son and
  • 00:00:20
    she's also doing the segment training so
  • 00:00:23
    she was asking me a lot of questions
  • 00:00:25
    about movements in the back and
  • 00:00:26
    movements and vision
  • 00:00:27
    and i said well if if if it's allowed
  • 00:00:30
    let me steal phoebe
  • 00:00:32
    so now phoebe is again she's she's just
  • 00:00:36
    when she's 10 months 10 months so she's
  • 00:00:38
    10 months old
  • 00:00:40
    and as you can see
  • 00:00:42
    she can self-explore
  • 00:00:45
    she knows how to adjust herself she's
  • 00:00:47
    usually a really big talker i can't
  • 00:00:49
    believe that she's just not taking over
  • 00:00:51
    alive
  • 00:00:52
    and
  • 00:00:53
    but again no matter how i touch with her
  • 00:00:56
    that toneus is everywhere
  • 00:00:59
    and and this is actually one of the
  • 00:01:01
    things i really saw when i presented at
  • 00:01:02
    oxford and then got solidified at
  • 00:01:05
    harvard
  • 00:01:06
    because i was like don't touch kids
  • 00:01:08
    don't you actually work with him but a
  • 00:01:10
    lot of people working with special needs
  • 00:01:12
    kids never work with typical kids and a
  • 00:01:14
    lot of you guys don't either
  • 00:01:16
    when you have siblings or like in both
  • 00:01:18
    of their cases the siblings are older
  • 00:01:20
    not younger so you know we can't go up
  • 00:01:22
    and down
  • 00:01:23
    that's why i keep joking around that i
  • 00:01:24
    need like a baby webcam and uh you know
  • 00:01:27
    i need a baby to experiment with for
  • 00:01:29
    about a year
  • 00:01:30
    so
  • 00:01:31
    just drop one off
  • 00:01:33
    but anyway felice is going to come in
  • 00:01:34
    here but we'll also bring phillip too
  • 00:01:37
    and not to compare movements so now how
  • 00:01:40
    old's philip just
  • 00:01:41
    he's the 20 month yeah
  • 00:01:44
    so
  • 00:01:46
    so you can see the two here
  • 00:01:54
    and you can see first of all look at her
  • 00:01:56
    vision we brought people in and she's
  • 00:01:58
    like so working the room he's coveting
  • 00:02:00
    that neighbor's goods
  • 00:02:04
    she's making sure okay someone new came
  • 00:02:06
    in she's going to make sure socially dad
  • 00:02:08
    she got checked off and she's got her
  • 00:02:10
    social distancing and she's like okay
  • 00:02:12
    dude what are you up to because i'm
  • 00:02:14
    gonna pummel you
  • 00:02:16
    [Music]
  • 00:02:18
    i love this part
  • 00:02:20
    oh girlfriend go phillip
  • 00:02:23
    he's like mom she's blonde in that blue
  • 00:02:25
    eye yes
  • 00:02:28
    this is also what i love about children
  • 00:02:31
    they just have an innocence of like can
  • 00:02:33
    you imagine if we went up to people on
  • 00:02:35
    the bus like that every day they'd
  • 00:02:36
    probably call the cops
  • 00:02:38
    and kids just have this way of like hey
  • 00:02:40
    how are you doing
  • 00:02:43
    oh is his daddy cheating on you
  • 00:02:47
    huh
  • 00:02:47
    is daddy going to work see now look at
  • 00:02:49
    him work with it than walking
  • 00:02:54
    so see how he's thinking about stepping
  • 00:02:56
    out
  • 00:02:58
    but look at the way the movements are
  • 00:03:00
    that he's trying to do it
  • 00:03:04
    because you're at about the same stage
  • 00:03:06
    however now with phoebe
  • 00:03:08
    if i did it this way
  • 00:03:12
    put your arms out maybe she'll come
  • 00:03:14
    walking to you
  • 00:03:20
    [Music]
  • 00:03:24
    see the difference where she's going in
  • 00:03:26
    10 months
  • 00:03:30
    where he's looking what more can i lean
  • 00:03:32
    over
  • 00:03:33
    right
  • 00:03:34
    and he defaults to calling yeah so so
  • 00:03:37
    come over here phillip
  • 00:03:38
    see if you'll let me this is one thing
  • 00:03:40
    too kids don't work on command come here
  • 00:03:42
    big boy
  • 00:03:44
    so now he's heavier
  • 00:03:46
    when i talk about all the time
  • 00:03:48
    and his back tone is just completely
  • 00:03:50
    different
  • 00:03:55
    so he wants to sink
  • 00:03:57
    whereas even though she's a big girl for
  • 00:03:59
    10 months she doesn't want to sink
  • 00:04:04
    [Music]
  • 00:04:05
    so anyway
  • 00:04:07
    if you want to train children and just
  • 00:04:09
    so you can feel because that's what
  • 00:04:11
    we're doing here is
  • 00:04:14
    hi
  • 00:04:16
    now watch how she just floated to your
  • 00:04:18
    hands so just pick her up
  • 00:04:20
    just wait and see see how she just
  • 00:04:22
    floats over
  • 00:04:24
    she always keeps her on the prize you
  • 00:04:26
    see that see where the eyes go yes so
  • 00:04:28
    even when i'm here see she's right there
  • 00:04:30
    i don't have to attract her vision
  • 00:04:33
    hi you know you just i have to say
  • 00:04:35
    something usually depressed okay
  • 00:04:38
    yeah is
  • 00:04:42
    like i don't think so this is my mommy
  • 00:04:46
    oh
  • 00:04:48
    yeah see the difference she's already
  • 00:04:50
    bracing for impact with the one over
  • 00:04:52
    she's got this one and see how she just
  • 00:04:54
    floats in your arm you feel the
  • 00:04:55
    gyroscope
  • 00:04:57
    so the gyroscope or the in the cellular
  • 00:04:59
    structure so i can just literally do
  • 00:05:01
    like this
  • 00:05:02
    see
  • 00:05:04
    she just steals for the air
  • 00:05:07
    babies have this
  • 00:05:09
    cool little gyroscopic function
  • 00:05:11
    and stuff we all have it but you guys
  • 00:05:13
    can just get a bit bigger
  • 00:05:16
    and um
  • 00:05:17
    but if i picked him up right now he
  • 00:05:18
    would just walk all over
  • 00:05:20
    felicia could do the same movement so
  • 00:05:22
    here we'll compare so pick up the two
  • 00:05:24
    and go like kiss and see the difference
  • 00:05:29
    he's having fun
  • 00:05:32
    let's see the difference
  • 00:05:37
    and that's your absolute horizon
  • 00:05:41
    um
