Parents trying to be their child/children friend lol

You know your fat son can't run😂😂😂😂That line had me dying

Parents want to live out their dreams through their kids. That’s the problem.

He wears the best suits!!!

Well said Steve We all need to teach our children hard truths, because they need to learn that the world is not fair

Why parents don’t understand this

when Steve gets to real...even for his own audience. But He's right.

They are all clapping, most will carry on. This applies to adults too. You can't make a carpenter a brain surgeon.

Steve, I think this is the best video I've seen from you because I'm teacher and I can relate. So many parents seem to always want you to give their kids something for nothing. They're not realizing that their kid is only a teacher's problem for a couple of hours a day for 180 days but they'll be their parents' problem for the rest of their lives because they never taught their kids to work hard for anything or lose gracefully. I feel bad for the world.

Support your KIDS❤...at what they do...BEST!👏👏👏👍👍

SO TRUE STEVE STOP PUTTING YOUR KIDS IN STUFF THAT YOU KNOW THEY'RE NOT GOOD AT AMEN😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Let the truth be told, bravo Steve👏👏👏👏

So true, I love it!! The audience didn't seem to feel this one though, they were in shock and they live in denial with thinking these kids are good at what they as parents want them to do trying to live vicariously through them. This is tough truth!

The parents are way too lenient and give their kids whatever they want just so they are keeping up with the Joneses. It's sad to say but if someone doesn't step in and make these kids realize that they have to work for what they want instead of having it handed to them our country is in for a world of hurt.

All my life I've been tall and athletic naturally. So many people wanted me to play sports. It never was my interest. I was always the artistic and nerdy type. I was put in uncomfortable situations because of it. If my family accepted me for what I was talented and passionate about and not what I had the "potential" to do I wouldn't have certain insecurities today. Everybody has their place. Introduce things to your kid but don't force it. It sucks for them and everybody else too.

Yeah Accept and support who your kids are; encourage them to better themselves at what they like, but don't try to CHANGE them into somebody they're not, or force them to chase your own unfulfilled dreams This will save everyone a WORLD of grief!

Steve really tells the truth he never sugar coats anything

Yes i agree with Mr. Steve well said and that is the truth.

It's not the kids it's the parents ! How can a child learn bad behavior ? Parents. Too many parents think whoppings or time out is the way. Where is the positive reinforcement, communication, mental stability from activities. Some of these parents don't even take their child out to enjoy themselves and release energy/have some "me time". Then think they have ADHD because they have so much built up in them. I see alot of parents don't even take time to really get to know their child. Bad parenting has became the way now days. The things I see I just shake my head. So many grow up to be hurt and confused. Don't even know how to pay a bill or manage credit. Parents are just baby sitters now days and a parent are supposed to be a teacher and a comforter first.

Preach it brother truth is, I never push my oldest but i had things in mind that I thought she could be. But i just kept quiet & motivated her along the way with her decisions. Now she does and gives pride in what she wanted & thought what was best for herself being future Chef. And my son still in school, but he has a bright future knows what he wants, he pick one of his choices and I'm happy & he has my support. He just need me as a his backbone to push him, kept him on that path since boys are different. I always said I will leave it to them to decide and not what I want them do be when they mind is not set on whatever and I'm a proud mom today.

Real talk

I love how Steve always tells it as it is.

Exactly I was pushed it broke me. I had to decide on what to do when I was older because by then they thought I am older enough to decide on my own.

Tell it Steve!!

White moms triggered everywhere 😂

Steve you're a legend man.

I taught my kids the same principles as I grew up with, to earn it. But the problem is, school sports are compromised by the fact that the coaches often also have a club business with their sport. And if a kid is in the club (at $5,000 a year) they make the team. Meanwhile, the kids who are not in club, but naturally athletic, are outcasts because they aren’t in the club. It’s sick. My daughter made the volleyball team in high school after just arriving home from Texas the same day. All the other girls had been in the summer camp for two weeks prior ($500), and most were in the coaches club. So the team bullied my kid because she beat out another girl who was in their club. It was so bad she had to quit. Even the coach bullied her, she never got to play, and it was humiliating. Total crap.

Speak the truth Steve

That's so true Steve that's the the way I raise my kids to

The white women in the audience are livid 😂

Facts

Amen Steve Amen ! You said it like it is, I agree with you 100% !

Yo ain't going in the air 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

See and my kids thought I was mean. If I win at UNO, I’m not going to be a good winner. I’m going to slam my card down and talk trash! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If Steve starts is own suit brand, man he will make good money

Knowing what I'm good at and not good at helped me alot growing up.

You said the truth Steve

Oh I’m rolling but he’s ain’t lying 😂

I think we should learn to accept our kids for who they are, not for what we want them to be

Steve your Show is PRICELESS .....bravo

I always hated getting participation trophies; it felt meaningless to receive them. On my softball team, one of my coaches gave out awards that actually meant something: if you did particularly well in a game, you got a brand new "game ball" for your shown improvement. I had just switched from baseball to softball that season after a few years of not playing, so when I won one after working really hard on my pitching I was ecstatic :D

Bruh I'm 5'9 172 and I can almost dunk

Well said steve. My son got a trophy for not even finishing their sports carnival. I was rather annoyed about the whole situation but nevertheless was happy he had a go. But. The next year when he didnt get one for not finishing again he was so mad and upset and we had quite the discussion about putting in effort and only the best get ribbons or trophys etc guess who got FIRST place the year after. Guess who got a blue ribbon. Your damn right it was my boy and i couldnt of been more proud

Steve stay on point with his own analysis of a situation love the advice and personal nurturing he gives be real about it from the heart.... Dang steve be having you crying.. OMG...

You can't be 5'9 and 170 you ain't gonna go inna Air lol 😂😂

That Arby's comment made my night 🤣🤣💀

IT'S THE PARENTS!!!👏👏👏

Thank you!

Yes, you focus on what you know you're good at.. Always hitting the mark Steve.

This is so true and so beautiful how you explain with so much love and peace

When Steve knows real facts bout cheer😍

So true!

Well said Steve...

Well said Steve.

Preach it brother.

I've seen it. My ex didn't stand up to her kids. They ran the house.

Straight forward Steve

Our society will be much healthier if all parents will think like Steve.

Amen Steve!!!!

PRRRRRREEEEAAAACH!!!!!! this goes to everyone

Love You Steve

Words Of Wisdom !!!!!!

It is called PUNK PARENTING and unless and until the parents stop making excuses, up holding their kids in wrong doing, not instilling values like being kind, honesty, love, compassion, accepting, and so many of life values these kids now days are lacking; we will continue to see the FOOLISHNESS that is being ALLOWED to play out in society today.

AMEN Steve Harvey

Aye lemme be a happy kid while it lasts

Steve is so right.

I remember my boys did tennis, the mother in that place were more competitive than the children! The coach ask me if I wanted more classes for my boys, are they having a good time? Yes they are, are you teaching them skills to play tennis? Yes I am. That’s what this is all about for my boys, a new hobby they are learning after school and have a good time as they exercise 🤷‍♀️

😂😂😂 love Steve

It's the parents, children raising children!

“You cant be Fih Nine One Seddy”

👏👏👏 better to learn now then when it's to late

Whats difficult is when you discipline your kids and treat them to respect adults and use manners, and they wonder why none of their friends have to...

That’s Profound!

I agree to that! 👍

Today its definitely the parents

Thank you 😆

TRUTH!!

Some parents want their kids to become something they wished for but couldn't become. They use the kids for their own fulfilment. Doesn't matter if kid is happy or not.

Steve is real ❤

say it louder for the parents in the back!!!

I love you Steve Harvey. Real. Be careful..they watchin..

He Always tries to show a brave face but behind that brave face is a ginerece man

If it was anyone but Steve they would say he’s mean

Yup 💯💯💯💯

Amen!!!!!

Preach Steve! Soft parenting has birthed a whole generation of entitled snowflakes that are destroying society!

I love watching these vids

Steve Harvey I love you

I love Steve Harvey

Every child has a gift, a God given gift as a parent your job is to nurture their gift and instill in them there's nothing wrong with them being exceptional in their gift and allowing others to be exceptional in theirs and that's ok.

yes steve! yes. i’m still a “kid” (16) but i feel you.

I remember getting one of those trophies when I did little league baseball.

I really hope that my generation (generation Z - I’m a 2004 baby) and the ones that comes after - learn from the mistakes of their predecessors when it comes to parenting

Parents done lost there damn minds.

Steve Hearvy FunnY, LMBO 😂😂 😂😂

My daughter calls kids nowadays disrespectful little heathens because they don't respect their parents and my daughter actually wants to put shock collars on all the disrespectful kids

"When are they gonna throw you in the air " lmaoo.

I can't help but notice some parents look crestfallen 🤣

Aye he's right though been working with kids for 10 years was a coach for 5 I've seen great coaches quit because of the parents not the kids SMH

Steve your a trip 😂😂😂😂
