What we break when we try to build winners | RAJMOHAN SATHIYAN | TEDxRainbow School Youth
In this insightful TEDx Talk, Rajmohan Sathiyan from TEDx Talks challenges the prevailing focus on early academic achievement in children. He argues that an obsession with immediate success often neglects fundamental aspects like movement, exploration, and play, leading to deeper issues such as a decline in curiosity and self-confidence. Rajmohan introduces 'Movement Literacy' and a 'Long-Term Human Development' framework, advocating that the primary goal before age 12 should be to build a robust body and brain, fostering 'optionality' and the ability to choose one's path later in life, rather than pushing for early specialization and wins.
