Abstract

In the interest of sustainable development in the face of young people who are vulnerable in their relationships with others, how to approach young people, how to understand them and how to help them transform or correct their perception of the "event", their emotions, their behavior and finally their belief systems? This “Perspective” presents some tools used by educators giving certain young people the possibility of modifying their belief systems… and the fact of holding something as true, and this regardless of possible evidence and its existence. An existence on edge in the face of these phenomena causing anxiety today among nations who no longer know what to do in the face of increased violence: demographic explosion, inflation, natural disasters, wars, poverty, and terrorism. We live in a time of terribly dangerous change at all levels. It is the same for migrants as for those who welcome them. These elements have undoubtedly impacted my approach to the subject of neuroscience from the point of view of a field educator that I am facing our youth (our teenagers). This work is composed of four parts. It is obvious that each part, in its entirety, is unique and at the same time, each part can be a gateway into the complexity of the other parts or a window of perception opening perspectives of interactions with the four parts analyzed in this document. It is important to realize that there is an interconnection between the four parts. Therefore, once as we understand this interconnection, it is essentiel to work on our ability to integrate each element into our professional practice and to improve empathy among parents and caregivers of children and adolescents.
