I let mine see me get in disagreements with Dad... obviously not yelling or anything horrible, but have a disagreement. I want him to learn that no marriage is picture "perfect", that it's okay to have different views than others, and most importantly - how to come to a solution. Whether it's an apology, finding common ground, or compromises - I want him to see that work and relationship building.

Reminds me of something I heard about Kristen Bell and her husband - they say they make it a point that if their kids saw them having a disagreement and they made up in private, to "make up" again in front of their kids

Same! My older son just recently said.. Mam and dad, stop fighting please. And i told him.. that we don't fight, we just have misunderstanding and we all are humans, we just got really tired today, but we will figure that out. Its normal to have that, we love each other. And omgoodness, the peace on my sons face was amazing, because he looks at things like that now different way and understands! Its normal to be tired, its normal to do mistakes and fix them. No one is perfect! It give kids freedom to feel, that they don't need to be perfect either!

Yeah no...once he/she gets older they are probably gonna pick sides, (my bet is the son will go for his mom and the daughter for her dad but that could change) and resentment will grow towards the other parent, I'm all for teaching your kid to defend their convictions but exposing them to your conflicts or "misunderstanding" could damage them in the long run.

Give them the opportunity to get to know the potty at a young age. My son went to the potty every time we changed the diaper as soon as he could sit alone. He loved it. Barely had any poop diapers after the first time. But never stress them. My son turns 2 in a few months and he tells me everytime he needs to pee/pees. Yep, even at night. Sometimes we're fast enough, Sometimes we're not which is fine. Sometime we go days without anything in the diaper and then there's days he's just too busy discovering the world to stop for his potty. This is very relaxed and he really enjoys it. If I'd actually potty train him, he could have been dry before he could even say the word for it but I think it's nicer if your child has a say in it.

Yet of course I would like to have them cleaned properly but without crossing his borders its impossible.

Glad to hear a refreshing take!

I love that with the rooms. I’m the same. Growing up, we were never allowed to do anything to our rooms. Walls had to be white/off white type colour, no pictures on the walls or anything. It makes me want the kids to have more independence in their rooms. I’m also trying to teach them to fold their own washing (I’m decluttering and rearranging their cupboards) so they can also put them away. Let them have some responsibility of their things. Love this video.

I will always try and keep this video at the top of my parenting list to remind me this is exactly what I want and it being a parent. It is not what I’m currently doing as an aunt and a nanny and I’m gonna try and start implementing some of these tips because it’s spoke to my soul What really stood out was the bedroom part, the making mess part (which I think is honestly since I am a nanny I tend to worry about messes bc it’s not my home) and letting the kids figure out there disputes. And I agree so deeply about the boredom part- my nephews are saying “I’m borreeed all we do is watch KZfaq” and I tell him about how I use to make videos as a kid and little skits and it was so much fun- you have to create your own fun or sometimes just be bored and not over stimulated! 💕

I have 2 maybe 3 autistic kiddos. Yell, at them doesn't work. Reinforce the good behavior you want to see, has worked wonders. Also what has worked too is say what you want your autistic kid to do to 2-3 words. Example do not tell them get your plate off the table and put it in the sink. You tell them plate sink. Or plate in sink. What has also worked for us is instead of saying no jumping on the couch. Say couch no, or jump no, or hit no. Don't say no hitting because they are usually hearing the last word which is hitting, jumping etc. It will no change over night but if you are consistent with it the behavior will change. Slowly but it will. Autism is a mystery. You have to find what work with your child and you but try not to yell because it does nothing trust me I know, they feed off your stress and it makes it worse, I know. I don't know what level or how "bad" your child's autism is. Usually kiddos with autism act out because they're bored. Do you have a trampoline can get so engery out, sensory play slim, playdough, even dried beans and rice in a box for them to play with. Get on your child's level when you talk and use only 2-3 words at first. I'm not a Dr. But I do have almost 14 years of autism through my oldest son. I'm just trying to help.

My mother was always interjecting into my arguments with my brother. We ended up telling her to let us deal with it on our own, otherwise we never dealt with the actual issue. She finally backed off and our arguments would be over a lot quicker. This was many years ago since we’re both adults now and rarely have a disagreement. I always let my son do whatever he wanted with his space. He’s a bit of a perfectionist and would always keep his room clean, randomly rearranging the furniture. He’s almost 14 now and has been organising his room since he was 2. I don’t remember being a bored child. My older sister lived with her grandparents and her dad, so I was an “only child” for 6 years. I was always playing, creating, throwing concretes for my soft toys, and reading a lot. I was very independent. Even now, I don’t get bored. I can read a book for hours, listen to music, clean, draw, bake, or just sit in my own thoughts.

This is SO good, Sarah! I do a few of these things, too; however, you gave me some things to think about and start to apply here :)

Another thing I let my children do is let me know when they’re over stimulated. My kid will lock themselves in their room and I would not pressure them to come out even when guests are over. I know so many times i see parents who kids get crabby and the parents are angry at them because they cannot sit still or play the way the other does, and I think it’s a bit sad

This was insightful. I have a 5 month old baby and she is my first child. I have really enjoyed watching you and Keran develop as parents over the years and really appreciate the way your kids behave. I have to say, on several points I wanted to disagree because i was raised differently. Especially on showing emotions. But i see your kids and respect your parenting methods. I will be praying about how the Lord may want my husband and me to use some of these methods. Thank you as always for sharing these things with us and putting your life "out there." It is a vulnerable place to be. You are by far my favoritest youtuber ever! I hones ti ly call you my beat friend when I tell my husband about something you said or did or use. 🤭❤💖

Letting children not show their emotions, get them traumatised. That's very dangerous especially in the first 4 years.

I love that you let them settle their disputes & help out when you rly have to. Some kids grow up struggling to know how to communicate, stand up for them selves, or put themselves in others shoes bc of that reason. For some kids it's easier to run to mom & dad & have them take care of their dramas; that carries over into highschool or even adult hood

Wow, thank you for being a very good example of self control first. You inspire me not to be afraid of giving birth and growing up kids))))

I make sure my kids feel they can refuse physical touch. Anything from hugging, kissing, hand holding, any physical touch! I also make sure they understand they can say no to hanging out with people, even family. Within the realm of reason. There are times when you just have to go because it will be fun as you participate, but if something is uncomfortable or they don't like how someone treats them, then we don't go.

I love the room idea, it would be nice to hear your transition from letting them have their room as they like from your own esthetic as you have shown in the past.

You should write a parenting book! I’m not even a parent yet but I’m already stressed about raising my future kids right and you seem to have such great insights, I’m so curious how you practically put these ideas into action.
