The art of self - soothing | Vivi Svendsen Svendsen | TEDxYouth@Oslo

Vivi Svendsen is 18 years old, and study sciences at The Cathedral school of Oslo. She has talked herself in and out of some pretty interesting situations. She has helped with university level research, both in the US and in Norway since she was eleven years old. Interviewed her favorite bands (by accident) and even ended up singing for the pope at the Vatican. She works to bridge the gap between the arts and the sciences, always keeping things interesting. Despite mixed results, my intentions are always good. She will talk about The self-soothing is a concept we teach infants so that they can sleep alone at night, and yet, a concept we lose sight of as we become adults. In a society where self-reliance is a lost art, what if we could reach inside ourselves for the affirmation we seek, instead of being soley dependant on others?

In a society where self-reliance is a lost art, what if we could reach inside ourselves for the affirmation we seek, instead of being soley dependant on others?
