    You don't film your kids for clicks. I've watched your content over the years, and it's obvious that you film your kids because you're learning a lot in the process of being a parent and you share the wisdom by sharing the video and your analysis of them.

      Exactly, he’s really “recording” the progress and lessons of being a father, props for that 🫡 Though I might become a mom rather than a dad one day, his video still serve as a future parenting reference for me : )

      Such a good point. Allowing ourselves to just go through and feel our emotions is so important to our development and it will allow us to recognize them as they come and live with them as opposed to letting them control us or not feeling them at all and the stoney heart and that.

    Well this just helped me more than you know ! My son is 3yrs old and when he gets angry a lot of the times he will bite his own fingers , I immediately get anxious and concerned so I stop him but never did I ever think about the approach of allowing him to feel his big emotions and allowing him to be accountable and even talking him through what he’s feeling and like yu said even saying “hey buddy doesn’t that hurt?” . This was a blessing because I’ve definitely been praying about how to handle those moments. Thank you!!

  • @petemavus2948

    This has been some of the most profound Parenting I've ever seen "at a clip". Some children are very deep and can not or don't yet have the skills to articulate that and might turn it inward at themselves. Often children having children having children cannot break that cycle. Symbiotic extremes and reaction formations only complicate things leaving less room for joy. We can only walk a mile in another's shoes, be there for them and with them when they truly need it and allow them to stand alone in their full presence knowing what's always at Home 💜 Love... when they need it or have it to share. "Here there's lots of room for doing" (MB)... Thank You Both. ✌️

    You and your wife are OUTSTANDING parents. Your kids are well behaved and have the best manners. I commented on that video about how it reminded me of when I was a kid and felt left out when my siblings went to school. My Mom told me the EXACT same thing you told Uzi. I'll never forget it either. The simpleness of the explanation did it for me too. I was so eager to learn and that's what I did too because my big sister came home each day and taught me everything she learned. I was super smart too and the teachers would often pull me aside to ask how I got to be so smart. Then I'd tell them about my big sister teaches me. Thanks for sharing your videos. I thought the way I was raised was lost because of how these kids act nowadays. But you and your wife instill proper manners and wisdom, along with respect in your kids. Keep up the good work Bruh. I'm 57 now with a 34 year old son who has kids. My son gets so much respect and is always complimented on his manners. He thanks me and his Dad often for his upbringing. I LOVE ME SOME HIM! ❤

My favorite part is that he came to find you, then once he was in your presence, you asked him what’s wrong and why are you sad. You became once again, a safe environment for Uzi to just feel his emotions and validating his experience and most of all, encouraging him for the future that he cannot fully see and understand in this moment, but you are his father who loves him and sees the bigger picture. Your whole family loves and trusts you. So proud of you! ✝️🙏🏼

Yes, sometimes it’s just for laughs but in the moments that you stop to look deeper into body language, facial expressions & emotions, I have a deeper appreciation for you & your family. Not many people stop to try & understand how others feel, especially children. THANK YOU!

    He is just sooo smart. Uzi!!! I am an adult and sometimes I don’t even know why I’m sad. I just know that I’m sad soooo for him to be able to articulate that is great. I personally probably would’ve done it a different approach, but that’s because I was a child who dealt with a lot of abandonment and so I probably will be overly affectionate towards my children to make sure that they don’t have that as a complex. But because of the generational curses that you broke through the way that you raise your children, I don’t think your children will have issues with abandonment or low self-esteem. This is some thing I notice about myself going to therapy starting it last year. I realize that I have really low self-esteem and that comes from having such a rigid structure as a child mixed with adults that will leave my life whether voluntarily or involuntarily, or they would be there, but not present.
    But I definitely understand teaching your child how to self regulate I just feel like as a child I regulated so much that I self regulated myself into depression and low self-esteem because I didn’t have anyone to buffer those emotions THAT I didn’t understand that BUT when I did have buffers THOSE buffers were more like Barbwires - the adults around me

    First off, let me say that I really enjoy this channel and this family’s dynamic together. I appreciate the fact that you allowed us to see more into the situation, but I think all of the positive things that you and your family do and show us speaks for itself. You and Yvette are an inspiration. God bless you all.

    That is great. People these days young and old have no problem solving skills. They react strictly off emotions so its refreshing to see this. It starts when we are young. We teach our kids how to be as adults at least as much as we can. We do know they will do what they want but when we instill it when they are young, it has a long lasting effect. God bless yall

    Thanks for the rest of the video. it's nice to see Uzi when he was younger. You clearly have a living, nurturing home. The explanation wasn't necessary. Some people on CZcams are just weird.

    I remember that one. If you notice some of the babies today are able to express how they are feeling better than adults. I've seen this with my 6year old nephew. He was able to tell me he gets nervous sometimes when he talks in font of church or school but he does it anyway. Also nervous when he talks to his older sister. That may be because she is an adult of 25.;I just say look at you facing your fears.
