As a part time wheelchair user already who is looking at both the prospect of having children very soon and the possibility of being 'upgraded' to a full time wheelchair user also very soon, this video was a wonderful thing to find. I've been more than a little scared of the 'what ifs', but I find myself being a little more comfortable now. Thank you for that.
You are most welcome. I have 2 more parenting videos in a my parenting playlist if you fancy checking them out. Im also looking after my 8 month old niece this weekend for 4 days!!! Im hoping to vlog it too. :) parenting playlist here ---> czcams.com/video/UzjsSQIfovs/video.html xxx
Also reminded me of the first article in psychology class a couple years back on praise being bad - and we all where like, WHAT?! The point was to praise the kid for the effort no matter where they reached, since they gave it their all, rather than saying things like "You're so smart." (not doing anything difficult for them...) or "You are oh so pretty." So to build up self-esteem, but focus more on them trying and working rather than just the end result or things they can't change.
When we were younger our mum never got us a reward chart. instead she got three tall beaker in different colours, drew a line on the side. Whenever we done something good we got a handful of marbles and put them in (if we were naughty mum would take some away) once the beaker was full we got a special treat. BEST DAYS EVER! haha
I am so glad I found your channel. I am disabled also and I used quite a few of these tips when my boys were young. They are both adults now and are very respectful and kind. Setting limits are very important for any child. Thanks for sharing.
I have twins that turn 4 this month. I'm their primary caretaker. My twins are also developmentally delayed because of being micro preemies born at 26 weeks. I've just started having to use a wheelchair. So this kind of parenting is all new for me. I'm going onto Amazon to find a lead thing for them now!
My dad, his brother and mom (my grandma) had a special whistle - those also travel further; really made me smile when you talked about your "Goo-ee" ;)
I wanted to be a mum ever since my mum brought my sister home from the hospital and I held her for the first time. But because of sudden disability I’m now not sure I’m able to take care of children. So I’ve been looking at these videos to figure out if motherhood is still something I can do. This was very encouraging :) thank you
Parenting is hard whatever your circumstances sometimes toddlers can just be a complete nightmare! Mine are teens now I’m not sure if it’s easier the challenges just change but we love them just the same! Good parenting tips though the most important I think is consistency if you say something is going to happen then it needs to happen, otherwise they’ll take no notice of you ever. Xx
Well high marks to you...a subject I'd never considered...of course challenging for us with full mobility LOL. Loving your new series of vids...I'm sure they are a great resource for many others!
I was ‘that child’ the kind of child no parents know what to do with. The kind of kid that has SO much energy they could tire a race horse out. Here’s some stuff my mum did with me to keep me busy and make sure I didn’t run off. 1. Place small jingle bells on all my shoe laces so she could hear where if gone. Much less annoying then the squeaker shoes I see now, and she made it fun, she let me go to the craft store and pick out what color of Bell I wanted. 2. When I had so much energy I ran the risk of being a menace to society. She would sit me down for a CALM craft. Something that required concentrating. Often she would take two pieces of different colored paper. Give me kids scissors. She would have me cut up one paper into small little bits and then when I was ready put a bit of school glue in an old milk cap and give me a paint brush. Then she would tell me to glue the bits onto the paper and see what shapes I could make. This would keep me calm and I’m one spot while she made lunch, or cleaned up or worked on something else the required her to focus on it and not me. 3. She put me in art classes early. This helped make a coping method for me when I was to strung out on energy, or when I was upset. I still paint as a way to work out frustration. 4. She set out a part of the day where i was to play quietly in my room by myself. This wasn’t a punishment at all and helped me to calm down after playing outside with the neighbors. And gave my siblings a break from me too.
As someone who grew up with a parent who is paraplegic u understand at a very young age that something is wrong with them even if you don't know what it is and i personally tended to behave much better with them then with other people. It is a bit of a bummer though that they can not join in with running around and playing football etc but you learn make do with throwing the ball instead of kicking it etc and them not being able to do things such as come through the front door of school to meet u or get into your first house is a bit shit but as a child it just really seems normal oh and sitting and riding around on his lap and being able to sit down when i wanted was a pretty big up side for me when i was like 5 and skipping to the front of lines was pretty cool to :)
I love this video as I have a toddler too. Can I ask what age you started the naughty step? And what age you used the reins thing on the back of the chair? My little one is only 20 months but she’s already getting into the full on tantrums 😱

You are a super mom. Thank you for the tips.

Grate tips. I love your call back call. I know my dad used to do a really loud whistle to get us back 😁
My dad, his brother and mom (my grandma) had a special whistle - those also travel further; really made me smile when you talked about your "Goo-ee" ;)

:)
Well high marks to you...a subject I'd never considered...of course challenging for us with full mobility LOL. Loving your new series of vids...I'm sure they are a great resource for many others!
thank you Bill. xx
Instead of reflection or naughty step you could just say Time out step/chair/cushion/area etc.
I have a boy under 1 år, so your tips might help me:) I am also in a wheelchair ♿️ 😊
Can you share your pregnancy journey with us too it will help me a lot
