or I can see my friend
who I haven't seen in a month.
And so I’ve become more active
in taking care of my relationships,
and it makes a big difference.
So I would say that those
are the two big things for me
that directing this study
has changed about my life.
WPR: We have a question
from TED Member Nesa.
They ask: “As a mother
of two very young children,
what advice do you have
for parents to build strong,
healthy relationships,
now through adulthood?"
RW: For parents,
it’s really helping your children
to pay attention
to how they feel
and to learn to use their feelings
with more choice.
So learning to love what they love
and hang on to what they love,
even if it's not so popular.
You know, I had a mother talk to me
about how her child really loved
doing improv comedy.
And he’s only 12,
and his friends don't like that.
And so we talked about how do you help
your child feel supported
