Love isn't just what you feel, it's what you do | Elizabeth Cheng | TEDxWest Vancouver Youth

We teach kids that love is a feeling. Elizabeth, who lost her dog at eight years old, discovered something different. When a new puppy came home, she took on feeding, walking, and training her every single day. What she found is that love isn't an emotion, it's a practice, built with routine, patience, and showing up even when you're tired.
This is a talk about love, responsibility, and what kids are actually capable of when you give them something to take care of. Elizabeth is a 9-year-old Grade 3 student in White Rock, BC. She enjoys a wide range of sports such as basketball, swimming, soccer and horseback riding. Outside of sports, she plays the piano, and is active in arts, writing and public speaking. At home, she cares for Suki, her toy poodle. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
