This clip from the National Geographic series "Brain Games" shows just how much information we delete, distort, or generalise as we take in the world. What we unconsciously decide to delete, distort, or generalise is based on our values, beliefs, emotional baggage and needs - what we have told our minds is important or not important. This is why it is essential to know what your kids' values are - once you link something to what is important to them, it becomes part of that spotlight of attention.
