Segment Overview:
Robin Grille develops the concept of how childhood traumas have a quantifiable neurological and chemical impact on brain development. He outlines how serious violent offenders are not born that way but have trauma within their childhood experience. He advocates more active and hands-on parenting and goes on to explain how parenting is a community responsibility. He highlights the failure in current Australian support policy (e.g. parental leave entitlements) to support parents to spend time with their children and create adults that are emotionally balanced, physically healthy and socially responsible.
