What I found interesting about the video was the juxtaposition between guilt and shame. The idea that guilt is short-lived, and that shame, is much more deeply seated helps greatly when thinking about teaching. The part where she mentioned telling her kids “no name calling” really helped put the whole idea into perspective for me. Even if no one calls a child “stupid” or “dumb”, if they end up calling themselves those words, they can internalize that feeling and end up blaming themselves for everything, even for things way beyond their control. This knowledge of how to differentiate the two can help teachers create healthy learning environments, where said teachers can start to recognize patterns of shame and help the student work through those feelings. If teachers cannot, then they risk exposing students to worse outcomes mentioned in the video. Another thing I found very interesting is the idea of courageousness means being vulnerable. By creating a learning space where students can feel comfortable being vulnerable, students can flourish and do so much more instead of resorting to the three “shame shields” mentioned in the video. Letting students open up can eradicate that vicious cycle of shame and help them to become better people in the future, helping them to recognize said cycle and help other students in the future.
