I started teaching my daughter to swin in our pool at 6 months. She mastered turning onto her back in just 3 days. By her 1st birthday, she could swim the length of our long pool. To me it's a crime to own a pool and not teach your children to swim.
My bro has a pool and all his little babies know how to swim. It's actually impressive how good babies can get at it
Absolutely it's a crime for people to be irresponsible pool owners. People freak out about this mom but if you don't like it then it's not for you & you don't have to put your kid through it.. but try to swallow the irony if your kid ever falls in a pool. 😕 I would never wish that on anyone..but that mom actually HAS been thru it & knows exactly what it's like so I for one would probably heed her advice.
I learned to swim this exact way…I survived and am better because of it. I allowed my child to color her hair multiple colors…she’s now one of the most self developed and productive adults I know. I don’t skateboard , I have zero pit bulls and I can’t ever see myself buying that many gifts for my kids but it’s not for me to judge. Folks need to mind their own households because the chances that they’re doing everything perfectly is slim to none.
Brave Mom who lost one child to Drowning and started over! Most would not take the positive action she did!
who's most? you done the math? and most actually got a brain not risk a child like this. You just saw comment section supporting the mom and you just roll with it for likes.
@@justinmitchell2164 I get what your saying any parent who owns a pool should always have some kind of fence and lock in place with babies and toddlers to begin with to prevent any child from drowning or don't get a pool at all if you can't keep your children safe it shouldn't have taken one child to die for her to take proper steps to make sure her 2nd child won't drown in a pool
You find it difficult to learn to swim at say 20.. but as a baby it's just natural instinct
Yea if ur about to die that tends to be what happens to a person. But I guess your new here to planet earth.
@Louie it's a confidence thing.. we don't trust ourselves.. as a baby there is no fear natural instincts just take over
I can't speak for anyone else here, but my poor heart skipped a beat watching baby girl take a dive into the pool. She took to it like a duck to water. I have to admit, I am amazed at this.
Well done mom❤️
I'm pretty sure babies just know how to swim/float. Weird how some of us will forget how to do that when older
Nah that's just a myth. I think many people think that because babies spend 9 months floating in the womb.
Well, they have an "instinct" but without proper guidance, they would panic and drown. That's why it's done in steps
How about learning swimming when becoming a child? and not being able to do that when older because they never learn it when there were children. Another social media user following comment section supporting a lady to get likes like them.
Regarding the first mom: people really do teach their children to swim that way and it WORKS! I didn't start swimming lessons until I was ~8 years old, and by then, I had already had an incident where I almost drowned & had developed a phobia of water. Props to her for starting early!!
EXACTLY, I'm the same!! My parents tried to get me lessons but I was older, I can't remember the exact age though but I wish it was earlier like this mom did. I have almost drowned quite a few times now and it has definitely traumatized me. If I can't stand up in the water I start to panic.
What’s interesting is I went to swimming school when I was 4, and I COMPLETELY Forgot. That’s the consequence of having awful memory.
All of these parents seem like loving parents who can raise their children how they like. None of these children were being harmed. It’s not anybody’s business.
@@GruPlays_ That's weird, I can't find anything about the kids being taken away
When I was younger (maybe a year old or younger) I fell into my aunts pool because someone forgot to close her sliding glass door outside. I survived because my aunt is a swim instructor for infants and I instinctively flipped on my back and floated on my back for about 5-10 minutes until my mom found me. That saved me, I’m 18 now.
@@blueknight07 it’s called my mother told me about it because she’s the one who found me in the pool? And my aunt had cameras
Incredible instincts that baby has. God bless them
It's not so much instincts as the instructor repeating the rollover technique over and over again with the baby.
2:25 That mother can multitask. She can skate & tack care of a baby
I used to be a lifeguard. When I looked at what looked like a 2 year old, I was worried I would have to jump in to save this little boy. He jumped in the pool and to my amazement, he swam like a fish. At that moment, I was in awe and I started to relax but I was still keeping an eye on him, at times, just in case.
She is teaching her daughter a skill that could save her life
That’s a little too optimistic of you in my opinion. This is the equivalent of watching ur child hanging off a cliff knowing you can help them but just being silent and recording them, like you just watched a baby be so scared of dying in that moment that she activates her instinctive survival skills, something a baby that old should never have to do.
At first I was shocked and yelled lol but you’re right. She’s right there and if anything should happen she would step in.
Could just learn the kids to swim instead of putting the fear of God in the child
@@charmaineinger344 This is how u teach kids to swim in a way that isn’t just a fun activity for them. Whenever a kid falls in the pool do you think their body is gonna be in the perfect position to swim naturally? No lol, this teaches them how to maneuver their body so that their face reaches the surface whenever they fall in the pool.
The first mother already lost one child. She was preparing her second child. She didn't run away from the situation she confronted it. I think sometimes we tend to over protect, and it doesn't help them to prepare for dangerous situations.
I think if more people were in person watching this they would see how important and potentially life saving it is.
Back in the seventies, my mom told me that it was standard for you to take your baby to the YMCA, and they instructed you to drop the baby in the water and let it figure out how to swim. That's how I learned to swim and I am now a great swimmer. She did the right thing teaching her baby how to swim at a very early age
Yep, back in the day we were called water babies. I became a very strong swimmer in my youth because of a program very similar to this.
@@madeinthegetto that's how I learned to ride a bike also. My dad took me out into a field pushed me a little bit and next thing you know I'm doing the dang thing. And back then they didn't give you helmets or knee pads or anything. It was ride or die
Good for her...after hearing about so many accidental
drownings of children I applaud
her decision for her child's safety to teach swimming lessons. It pains me to learn
of her son (Jake?) drowning.
I don't think I could go on
after a tragedy like that. She
is a remarkable mother and
woman.
A "remarkable" mother would ensure her child doesn't drown. Man, the bar is extremely low nowadays.
The mom got the daughters 85 each, and the sons get 30 each. Love how nobody is talking about that….
i mean it would depend on how much they were. if the girls got lower price gifts versus the boys getting more expensive gifts or if the presents ending up being similar amounts, etc.
It depends on the prices, if the daughters got cheaper presents and the boys got more expensive…not that hard to figure out
Floating, living baby is wonderful to see. Drowning is horrible, and means DEATH. What is wrong with such negative people?
People probably just post an angry sounding comment without much thought behind it, then carry on with their day. Sounds angry, but there’s not likely much anger present
@@0IIIIII or you can’t fathom being wrong about something for once in your life. I’m willing to bet that’s the one.
This is literally how they teach babies to swim. There's infant swim classes and this was PERFECT good job momma
3:21 Honestly i wouldn’t criticize her for being materialistic, but for giving her daughters 85 gifts and her son only 30.
I watched a documentary where this woman's story was covered in much more detail. Her daughters were pre-teen and teenager while her son was not two or three years old yet. I'm assuming that's where the difference comes in.
The mom said during the year she would buy her children the necessities like clothes, etc. but it was really only Christmas, that she bought the kids gifts (besides their birthday) and they weren't ones to go on long vacations. Although that many gifts still seems excessive, she still included a lot of things that they would need/use throughout the year under the tree. It was their family's time to spend money and enjoy the holiday instead of doing it all year long. 🙂
The skateboarding mom is so cool lol
She is! I wonder what was wrong with skateboarding while pushing a stroller? I mean what could happen to the baby? I don't get it.
@@Sweetyhide there isn’t much of a threat but the stroller might flip over if the mom falls off the skateboard.
The first one is understandable. That mother felt guilty her son drowned and died so she is training her second child how to swim and prevent herself from drowning
I’m 32 and I sink like a rock. Good for them for showing them how to float so early.
I understand this and it's a good thing. As a parent, no matter what, you should be there for your kid.
I'll never be as cool as the mom with the skateboard
I remember a baby who swam in a backyard pool once, it just gives you anxiety to know terrible things can happen to people at such a young age, Rest in peace.
I think it’s a good idea. It may seem outrageous but it could save a child’s life. You just have to let these moms do what they do to keep their children happy and safe.
I think the first clip is awesome! It's not like she's going to let her daughter drown, especially after having already lost her son due to drowning... She's teaching through experience. Amazing. Babies have really good natural instincts, such as avoiding drowning, and it's very good to train those instincts throughout childhood to avoid horrible deaths like what happened to her son.
There’s appropriate times for babies to learn things.
There’s also an appropriate time to tell other’s how to parent their kids and that time is NEVER, so SHUT UP and mind your business about other people’s kids.
That is the appropriate time. Baby swim is very good for development.
Pearl clutchers have nothing better to do. Skater mom is a badass!
Absolutely heartwrenching but absolutely amazing mother. Sometimes one has to find ways to protect kids from harm
Teaching swimming as an instinct at that age in the pool will help reduce alot of the "the child drowned because of parent's neglect/lack of supervision" incidents.
Funny thing is that the baby in pool looks like she dove in unafraid after the 🪣 not fell in like was stated, and that was due to the great training she received and having a wonderful Mother. People just fly off with criticism without really knowing..and I'm glad these parents didjt take it to heart.
I have a cure, it's CALLED LET OTHER PARENTS PARENT THEIR OWN CHILDREN AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT HURTING THEM AND YOU DO YOU! Plus the girl's hair is awesome.
the problem is that, everyone's idea of 'hurting them,' is different
@@lauranolastnamegiven3385 Hurting someone isn’t objective, people just don’t know how to mind their own business. Nothing these parents did is going to make their children violent, destructive, or a burden to society.
@@GraduateJLN how about a laughing stock, on the internet, where it'll live forever, with their names attached? do you not consider that to be hurting them?
i remember that one time, when my little cousin was four, she almost drowned in a pool. starting early is amazing and it prevents so many terrible accidents that could happen.
When my sister was about 3 mo old our then 19 yr old uncle let go of her in his sisters swimming pool. They said Stephanie instinctively swam- guess floating like the first baby as you seen.
I'm happy to report she's 35 alive & well she's making sure a horrible tragedy doesn't happen to her again. Good on her ♥️
Pitbull named Destroyer be like : 2:45
OMG HER HAIR LOOKS SO PRETTY
The baby swimming is great, she swims better than most adults. Her mother did the right thing teaching her at an early age to swim. If all parents did this, there would a lot less accidental drownings or none at all.
The dog one is a bad idea. Dogs will instinctively bite if they’re injured, sick or otherwise scared. Plenty of friendly dogs have bitten their owners under such conditions.
It depends on how you raise your dog. I taught my pitbull to not attack animals or humans when she was a puppy. She loves to play with my toddler niece and licks her hands.
I learned how to swim because my aunt paid for lessons after hearing about how a block away I heard a mother scream in despair about her toddler being found dead in their pool. I’ve never been able to get that scream out of my nightmares.
There is nothing wrong with any of these videos. Great parenting!
You probably also thin that taking your baby to a tattoo artist to get a tattoo is okay too
I think it's beautiful. Knew what she was doing the second the video started. Amazing to see the development of her parenting. Something horrible happened and she took it into her own hands to start her child on swimming lessons because she had already lost one. She is so smart and for her to be getting backlash is horrible.
Great job mom!! So many children's lives could be saved!
They all look like great moms who love their kids.
With dogs and kids its always important to supervise no matter the breed from the tiniest breeds to the bigger ones i dont see the problem with those bigger dogs being around kids
Knowing what she just said about her son drowning, I really understand why she does that, I mean I honestly had to do something like that also
And, there is obviously someone sitting there watching the baby float.
3:16 i get this one ... she seems abit... off. The way she says the girls get 85 gifts then the sons get ABOUT 30. Something is wrong here.
So important to teach your child to swim as young as possible. ❤
Yes. It saved me as a youngster. It surprised me as a kid when my classmates didn’t know how to swim starting in kindergarten. I’d been in and out of the pool since I was less than a year old.
But then again, both my parents were swimmers most of their lives.
What a brave baby
Ya, that's the mammalian dive reflex at work, and mom was within reach. My parents did the same thing with me at that age, maybe younger. I loved being in water growing up and never came close to drowning. Too bad when I got older I had a bad experience with unseen wildlife in a not so clean lake and developed thalassophobia. Now you can't even get me on a boat unless visibility is 100%. Did you know Bull Sharks have been spotted upriver in the Mississippi as far north as Illinois? I still love pools though!
Damn bro pulled out the statistics, now I’m gonna be scared of Illinois Sharks!
My first swimming lesson was that dad chucked me in the pool so I could figure it out on my own, mom wasn't too happy about the way but accepted it as it was.
1:13 I’m glade she taught her how to swim but when her son drowned,no,I can’t handle it,it’s very sad as soon as I heard it
When my son was born, I had a house with a pool so made sure he went to swimming lessons early on so he wasn't afraid of the water.
Babies' anatomy causes them to automatically close off their airway when water comes close. It's a core part of the drowning -prevention method. It has been done for countless generations and may have saved so many already if it were more widely known and practiced.
So smart that she got her baby Josey trained so early. 😍💖 Adorable baby. So sorry for the loss of her son. 😩💔
That aqua hair actually looks really good on that little girl. If it were my kid, it would be something we did for a special occasion, not as a long term thing. But I certainly wouldn't say no.
Mom was watching the whole time, mom has previous trauma with another child and water so heck yes shes training baby to be a swimmer. Baby will probably bring her mama some medals
@@Creativeambitionz_LLC you’ll get paid the same if you do as good a job - trump
You can tell the baby was prepared before she even hit the water 👍😊
The first one was so smart. She wasn't even crying so why is everyone butt hurt
She’s a strong mom!
I think as long as adult watching over them, people need to respect the way they raise their own children.
1:38 BRO HEAD FIRST?
People's quick tempered ignorance doesn't surprise me at all anymore. There's always been those quick to judge idiots in this world, social media has just made it easier to be found and heard or "typed" to be exact.
Mama I'm sorry for your loss. I'm terrified to watch but good on you
This is a super smart idea. I fully support!! Mom was there the whole time.
The owners of pitbulls that have eaten babies always say that their dog was the nicest dog.
You gotta teach them from a young age to not attack people or animals. Mine's a pitbull mix and she just loves to play with my toddler niece.
It felt like the baby was struggling tbh
What you think is not very important is it? Until someone writes you a check for your thoughts, know that, nobody cares. And it’s not valuable.
Yeah do you know what would happen if the baby was trained at all? The baby wouldn't be struggling because it would be dead already
It's the best way to teach your kids/toddlers to swim!
It is so sad a child drowned. Children should not die so young. So I believe that it is important for babies to learn to swim
People can give their opinions without being jerks about it. After all, if you post on social media, you can expect opinions. In my opinion, the only one I had a problem with was the Christmas presents. But that was her choice. I wish people understood that children want their parents' presence way more than presents from their parents. I think it's detrimental for kids to have too much but then again, that's my opinion. As long as the hair dye wasn't toxic ..🤷♀️
Or don’t give an opinion nobody asked for, people should mind their business when it comes to how other people raise their children.
@Screech Ya, it's social media. If you don't want an opinion, don't post something you that you know is going to be controversial 😒
The baby has great human instinct
I live in south Florida. I took both of my kids this early for swimming class. They could both does this at this age. Great mama!!!
When you teach your 6 mo old children water safety, it's to turn over on their back and float. It's what I taught my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. It's a class through the YMCA and is great. You must teach your children to survive since they can be out of your sight 10 seconds and fall into the pool. It's a wonderful program. I've seen too many children who have drowned as a healthcare professional and vowed not to have my family be a statistic. My daughter started on a USAA swim team at 5 yrs old until she was 17 yrs. She loved it and it helped her severe asthma.
I've seen this in person. At first, your instinct is to jump in to save the baby. I couldn't believe eyes, the baby was able to float face up. I applaud this Mother.
Everyone should teach their baby/kids to swim. Drowning is a big cause of death. I'm so sorry for her immense loss.
I wished my parents taught me how to swim. There were many times where I almost drowned.
I faced down into a water when I was 8 years old and almost drowned myself.
@@ljblakejr barely cuz my Asian parents didn't notice it and yes I survive.
Aww look at the smiles on the pitbulls
Well done to the mum who taught her baby to swim .
People really got offended over a child coloring her hair? People need to grow up and leave people alone
I know it's super important to development. And props to the mom for teaching her daughter to swim early on.
But I laughed out loud when the kid just flopped in. The plop got me.
Babies instinctively will roll over and Float upwards that's why you should train them as infants this will save multiple children's lives from drowning this woman has awesome common sense! good job for doing what you've done! You have to know what you're doing to train.
In my extended family this is what Christmas looks like every year. They need a room for gifts.
Death threats? Really?
The only parent I don’t agree with is the one who bought her kids loads of gifts!
Who asked you tho? No one. Her household, her money, HER KIDS and it’s HER LIFE, stop worrying about what other people do for their kids unless it’s hurting them, other than that don’t give a useless meaningless opinion nobody asked for! Shut up and worry about how YOU wanna raise YOUR OWN CHILDREN and keep your nose outta other parent’s business!
@@Imnothere2861 you probably also think that it's okay to take your baby to a rattoo artist to get a heavy duty tattoo as well
That’s how I learned to swim & i am a brilliant swimmer. Yes at times it was terrifying & yes sometimes I threw up, but it taught me to swim, learning to float at younger than a year. This mum did the RIGHT THING.
Remember when parents did this before social media ever existed and now that it does exist you get serious backlash from even thinking about generally anything
300 gifts for $2,000 is a pretty good deal.
Not that I would buy that many but hey, it's her money..
WAIT A DAM MINUTE 300 GIFT FOR $2,000? CLEARLY THIS MOM IS DOING SOMETHING RIGHT BECAUSE HOW TF? IMMA NEED HER TO SHARE HER SHOPPING SECRETS! LOL
She just amazing. ❤❤❤
That's absolutely amazing my daughter has been swimming her whole life has been taking swimming lessons and I see this nothing as more than a lesson kids can learn at any age one month to month three months that's the time to start doing this
Chris Bond my great-niece she has swimming lessons for awhile and she loves it. My son learned how to swim at summer camp and he's an excellent swimmer and he has advantage over other young men when he was in boot camp for the Marines
Baby: knows how to survive in the water
The internet: no that’s wrong.it’s the parents doing the job wrong
Parents need to do this when I was I baby I was thought to do this and when I was around 8 years old I was able to save my own life because I was pulled under the water by the current and I survived and if I didn’t do this when I was young I wouldn’t be hear today.
Well done to the mother of the first baby, she’s already lost one child in a tragic set of circumstances and she’s putting safeguards in place to ensure that her new baby will know how to survive should similar occur
“Well done” 🤡 how did the first one even drown ? Never trust these liberal women they hate kids with their guts
Very irresponsible woman. People like her should not reproduce
@@chaseme9860 Can you feel it? I can. The negativity just oozes out of your comment. Normal parenting is teaching, and preparing their children for as many circumstances as possible.
@@chaseme9860 mom might not always be there, so it’s good for kids to learn.
@@chaseme9860 it’s not just for when the child is a baby, learning things like this early on can still be useful later on in life.
