@@VexingWeeb Idk most kids feel emotionally attached to their toys they've had for a while so even if the parent says that they will buy them another one the kid probably would prefer if they fixed it instead
@@guitarfloritough love is not terrible. If we had more of it maybe there wouldnt be so many people strung out on drugs ect. Instead of people enabling bad behavior.
“Figure it out” most common phrase used in our household. It teaches responsibility, creativity, problem solving, and personal pride/confidence just to name a few. Now as an adult I can stand back and see the way to fix issues and am able to foresee potential problems when planning projects. Unfortunately kids don’t make anything with their hands anymore, and many have no idea how to be creative.
That's a fair point, but you shouldn't have kids learning or being online all the time. The internet is a plague. Drawing online makes you see things you shouldn't ever see as a kid. But hey, everything's a learning experience in a sense, but I say until your kids are old enough to be responsible on the internet, keep them drawing in notebooks and coloring books or whatever.
@engelrivera-torres979 how does that take away from what @garchafpv said? You still learned so much from said elder before their mental health deteriorated.
@@inkedsin because their always should be limits to when and who to seek "wisdom" from, cause let's be honest we wouldn't have half the problem we do on a grander scale of society today if we didn't listen to every old person. Besides if the old dude in the video had to teach y'all something it is to figure your own shit out, which is genuinely good advice because the majority of people are and remain fools their whole lives, not very few elders are loving as well.
Beautiful advice. To often younger people dismiss elders as just old and feeble when in reality they are full of wisdom and have an amazing sense humor. ......
@@engelrivera-torres979 u must be a hit at parties 🎉, but since we are getting technical even when their mental health declines that itself is also a lesson. You reflect on the person's achievements, mistakes and then realize that you not only have 1 life to live but also that even though you can make it to old age there is still your health you need to keep in mind. See?
Yea I’m tired of the life old attitude that you cannot fix these things when you get older. Probably the worst thing about modern society is that we seem to preach that we can’t change our situation. “Oh I’m not handy” “oh that’s not something id do” “I don’t like social events” “I can’t fix the tv” “I can’t workout alone” “I’m to old to fix my back swing in golf”. People need to stop locking themselves in these narratives. You can do exactly what you want.
Makes me feel good as a father because I do the same thing to my son. His mother and her family say things like “ he’s to young to understand”. It makes me so happy to see his face light up because of how proud he is of himself. My baby boy turning 5 this Sunday ☺️
The fact that he didn't say something like 'see you can do it on your own'. Instead he said ' How did you do that?! That's wonderful!'. It brings so much encouragement for a kid to do things on their own without making them feel stupid or like they should never come to you. It's like a reminder to them that they are smart and can figure things out and you will support them emotionally by reminding them they can do awesome things on their own❤❤
Growing up, from the age of about 5, I watched my dad fix everything. He always had me by his side so I could watch and learn and hand him tools he'd ask me to pass to him. Got to the point he didn't ask anymore, I just knew, he'd hold up his hand and I'd hand him whatever he needed, no words, just in sync with the motions from years of being his little helper. As an adult i fix everything myself because of him. Greatest teacher I ever had.
A sad fact that this man's son died at the age of 23 for a reason, gone too soon and his daughter also died before him in 2010, it must be tough to see ur kids die before u
What's wild is just doing that one time for the first will actually mold the kid for life. It's kinda wild when you think about it because it's the difference between creating an independent or dependent human being but most people never ponder it.
@loverofhumanity yeah exactly, that and giving praise to your child for a job well done, easily promotes or encourages critical thinking from a young age.
I am amazed to see this brilliant person in shorts. For whoever is interested, the name of this person was actually Jacque Fresco. He was a humanitarian above all, an innovator, architect and futurist. His work is brilliant and his contributions are foundational on child education, social structure and problem-solving culture. I strongly encourage to check out his lectures and his “Venus project”, an architectural project based on his utopia. A true humanitarian that every school in this planet should show its kids. Rest in peace Jacque❤
I think the problem comes when parents scolds kids for messing up. I think it's important to teach kids how to fix their problems rather than not have problems.
It just depends on how bad they mess up like what if your kids started physically getting violent with somebody else and wouldn't stop no matter how much you scolded or praised them and you'd never talk them how to do that they just started doing it there would be an issue and it would deal with physical violence
@@tylermccandless925indeed. Took the words from me. There's a balance to parenting. Can't be too harsh, can't be too nice. But true love is real. Never had a dad or a son for that matter but.... This just got to real. Imma smoke
He could have shown his son how to fix it, but he wanted his son to figure it out on his own and be self reliant. Yes accepting and asking for help is ok, but sometimes you won’t have any help around and will need to solve problems on you own
Not only put things upon them. The key is what he said after the child had success. He praised the accomplishment in a way that would make the child swell with pride. That is the key ... but you must wait until the accomplishment is successful. The more you do that, the more success you'll see.
@@JACpotatos if you think that way, you'll be friends with your kid and they'll love you, but they'll never learn how to properly love themselves. As a verb.
@JACpotatos I get why you feel that way... but I'm gonna push back on you a little bit... true life-long growth and true learning in that stage of childhood is essentially a series of small, manageable, slightly traumatic events and when a parent facilitates opportunities for growth and problem-solving in the way this man did for his son, the child learns to be a problem solver and becomes a resilient, confident, capable, internally-happy human being. I think a few tears and a moment of emotional pain and a feeling of loss is a totally healthy way to empower a child when followed up with the love and attention of this father
This is perfect.. from getting his child to think for himself, use problem solving skills, asking him what he did to fix it, praising him.. just everything
Something I wish I had growing up, or even today. I make sure my daughter knows I do. I'm so proud of her. Her mother left us and she is 3 now. Such an intelligent little girl. Thrives on encouragement. Takes the sting away for not having any because I can see the benefit of my encouragement and confidence in her.
I love my mom but she never let me do anything as a kid and it was a rough wakeup call going Into the real world. I see her do it with my nieces now and sometimes I have to remind her they're capable too
LMAO wtf damn you females were a holes frr LMAO no cap 🧢 wheeze!!! 😂😂😂😂 So you never appreciated and thanked him and you thought he was evil father LoLz! If you didn't show your father appreciate gratefulness love grace thanks. I highly doubt you loved him. Sounds like you should start regretting lotta things so much that it pains your little heart so you can know the *PAIN OF REGRET* and the pain of discipline. Smh you sound like saying bullwhit fr fr. I don't believe that for one second. Should've hugged him with he was alive.
As someone raised by my grandparents, he's correct. I feel horrible bad mouthing my sister but you can immediately tell she was raised by my parents, just from our core values. It hurts sometimes because people don't think we're related.
My dad didnt do it all for me, but he did help me, show me things and encourage me. When I was in the hospital when I was 4, had surgery for my hip, the doctors and women in my life made me feel like a victim, and some docs said I wouldnt walk again. One night my dad had bought me Incredibles the movie, and I saw dash, and I said I wanna run like him. My dad said then why dont you try. I was quick with the I cants and so on. But my dad, taught me how walk, encouraging me, ready to help. I am 23 now, I still got leg problems but I am strong because when I start thinking of the I cants. I remember that I could, and I just needed his voice in the back of my head saying you can. Just keep pushing keep trying. Im tearing up typing this.
I enjoy telling my daughter "let me show you how" then I show her step by step what to do, and how to do it. After it is fixed, I try to unfix it in the same manner so she can do it herself too. She has picked up how to just fix alot herself. It's amazing watching her grow😊
As she gets older I recommend getting her to experiment on solutions instead and only if she gives up do you show her, it's a great way to encourage growth and exploration (and find out how smart she really is)
That's probably the best way someone could have told me how to teach a child, it may be common sense for some people but I'm always for learning and improving.
We always had our kids try and figure things out on their own, but always made sure they knew that we were there to encourage and support them. Even if things didn't turn out the way they wanted it to, we made sure they knew that they didn't really fail because they never gave up. All four of our boys are fiercely independent but call almost every day just to chat and share their frustrations and triumphs. So proud of how they have turned out.
My mom passed away 4 years ago and I miss her she was a single mother I never knew my dad my mom was the only good thing I had in life and she taught me how to take care of myself and she did the best for me I bought my first house and I don't have a mortgage I paid for the hole house it is a five bedroom two bathroom home and three garage and half acker back yard I paid 92 grand I have solar so I pay 83 dollars for utilities and don't have to pay a electric bill, all because my mom loved me and taught me how to be strong I miss her every day and I can't wait to see her again someday god bless everyone and stay strong.

@redactedredacted6205 LOL but in all seriousness for a 2 year old it's allowing them to struggle with age appropriate challenges. Such as saying words correctly and being diligent in correcting their pronunciation versus allowing them to mis pronounce words and adapting to them; versus teaching them to adapt. Don't be overbearing about it of course but diligent and patience in enforcement.

My parents kinda had the reverse problem. Their problem was trying to keep my brother and me from taking important machines apart. We had a habit of wanting to know how things worked and putting them back together. We also ran into a problem with the extra piece left over after we put it back together, which Dad had to take apart and fix what we had done and explain along the way how and why things work. Those were the days.
@@gzus1482 No, lawn mowers, clocks, toasters, kitchen mixers, really complicated machines with electronics and motors. For 6 and 5-year-olds I thought we did really well, of course none of them were broken before we started. Never had a problem fixing small things like toys, bikes, and nonelectrical things. Nor any problem "inventing" things like an improvised "hang glider" out of two umbrellas and some aluminum tubing and wire to hold it together. Mom was sure pissed about her umbrellas and the big knot on my brother's forehead, thou.
My dad would have done this exact thing. He passed this last october, my senior year. I am now a week from graduating, and i wish he was here to see me walk. I miss him. Gone too soon.
I'm a homemaker and 4th generation Idaho farmer, and this is exactly right!! We do this with our boys. Sometimes we don't have dinner ready and they are hungry but we are exhausted so we say make dinner then and they do. Same with laundry when they don't have clean clothes. They do them as part of their chores along with dishes and cleaning their own bathroom. I couldn't imagine having kids any other way! Kids need to be raised with good work ethic and I see a lot of lacking in the near by cities. My boys don't even enjoy conversations with those kids that just get everything handed to them and they can tell the difference. Our boys do not get big commercial presents at Christmas or for birthday. If they want something big they are to work for the money to buy it. Not sure why people don't see the character building way of raising kids. We are so close and we wouldn't have it any other way:)
They have to earn money for big commercial presents . From where ? Working on a farm you probably inherited. When you are too exhausted they have to cook , you were not to exhausted to lay down and have them . Cook your children dinner . And I’m sure you claim them on your tax return as well, earn this , earn that , that’s what your kids will have to do until they retire , you don’t have children you have tax write offs .
This just restored my faith in some parts of humanity. There are still people who know better than most, may god bless you with a long and happy life ✝️
I raised my kids in a similar way. And I didn’t just buy them a new toy when something broke either. My kids learned to cherish what they have and to solve their problems without me as much as possible. Only when they were stumped did they come to me. They learned resilience, responsibility, and independence. And I’m so proud of them! ❤
This man makes a great point. My parents had me later in their age and they would always say to me, you better think for yourself because mommy and daddy won't always be around. So, I learned to figure things out for myself. Today, ideas and solutions come instantaneously to me. It's the best advice they could have given me.
That is admirable that you try to solve things on your own, i do too but even so, my parents are always ready to lend a hand if something is too difficult to handle it by yourself, heck i even ask my older brother's help sometimes. There is no shame on asking help, wheter you ask from your parent or not so you could sometimes try to ask their help or advices if neccesary.
Thanks for the advise gramps. I'm just a dad who fights his demons like everyone else, tryna give my kids better manners, treat ppl kindly and never forget to tell each other we love each other. Something my parents never taught me but I always wanted. ❤ had to grow up and learn on my own.
I don't see the importance of fatherhood. I always wondered what's the importance of fathers in a child's life. I can see why mothers are important. Women are socially and biologically programmed to be parents much more strongly than men are. Mothers are the ones that produce milk to feed to their babies. Also, mothers are the ones that are usually in charge of their babies, and they assume that role early on. Also, women have "maternal instinct", while men don't have anything like that. And also, children usually spend a lot more time with their mothers than they do with their fathers, and during that time, the mothers are usually taking care of the children. Mothers usually spend more time with the kids than fathers.
Also, most animals in this world are only taken care by their mothers and they don't have their fathers around at all. So why are human fathers important? It seems that a child can grow up without a father, and still turn out ok.
@@smokexsmoke99 A Father figure is imporant, because he protects the family, protects his (the) land, supply's the family, He is the man of the house. He ensures for disciplin, morality, rightouseness, honor e.c.t..
@@Eteller0135 Women are usually better at childcare than men are. It seems that women are a lot more important than men are when it comes to parenting. It seems that women usually do most of the work when it comes to raising children.
@@Eteller0135 Many people are raised by single moms, and they turn out perfectly ok. The bond between mothers and children are a lot stronger than the bond between fathers and children are. I heard that children who are raised by lesbian couples tend to turn out a lot better than children who are raised by heterosexual couples do. I heard that lesbian relationships are healthier because they understand each other. If both partners understand each other, they won’t want to break up with each other. I also heard that women have higher rates of depression when married (in straight relationships). Women have maternal instinct, while men don't have anything like that. Being fatherless doesn't affect children that badly. Men are not wired to be parents since a single man can father over 1000 of children, while a single woman can only mother about 10 children. Men make millions of sperm each day, while women make 1 egg per month. You get more DNA from your mother than your father. Also, your mom not only gave you more DNA (you’ve got her mitochondrial DNA too), but also provided you with every molecule that made up your body until birth. A man only contributes one cell to a baby. All the materials to make a baby are supplied by the woman. It seems that women are a lot more important than men are when it comes to parenting. Women seem to be a lot better at childcare than men are. It seems that women usually do most of the work when it comes to raising children.
My 5 year old asked me how can we solve the problem of rising rents, inflation and economic turmoil.. I told him to go away and figure it out. 6 months later he's running a successful business and supporting the whole family 😆👌🏽
I’ve always been told a good parents is constantly testing their kid. Especially when talking about a father-son relationship. You either give your son problems to solve himself, or you see how reacts to the unavoidable. And you test him. If he fails, however, you teach him. You teach him to not give up when life gets touch. You teach him that sometimes he’ll be alone. Then, when the next situation arises, you watch and be proud when he passes your tests and the tests of life.
Big difference between not giving up and a battle of futility. I gave up on getting a wife because it was a battle of futility. When theres no point in trying when the result is always the same you prevent yourself from going down the path of insanity.

@@guitarfloritough love is not terrible. It forms you and gives you discipline.

@@guitarfloritough love is not terrible. If we had more of it maybe there wouldnt be so many people strung out on drugs ect. Instead of people enabling bad behavior.

“Figure it out” most common phrase used in our household. It teaches responsibility, creativity, problem solving, and personal pride/confidence just to name a few. Now as an adult I can stand back and see the way to fix issues and am able to foresee potential problems when planning projects. Unfortunately kids don’t make anything with their hands anymore, and many have no idea how to be creative.
Aren't you generalizing a bit? Tons of kids/minors draw online. That's definitely a form of creativity
Very powerful I agree with this 100 percent
That's a fair point, but you shouldn't have kids learning or being online all the time.
The internet is a plague. Drawing online makes you see things you shouldn't ever see as a kid. But hey, everything's a learning experience in a sense, but I say until your kids are old enough to be responsible on the internet, keep them drawing in notebooks and coloring books or whatever.
The wisdom of a loving elder is worth a lifetime of lessons
Well until their mental health starts deteriorating
@engelrivera-torres979 how does that take away from what @garchafpv said? You still learned so much from said elder before their mental health deteriorated.
@@inkedsin because their always should be limits to when and who to seek "wisdom" from, cause let's be honest we wouldn't have half the problem we do on a grander scale of society today if we didn't listen to every old person.
Besides if the old dude in the video had to teach y'all something it is to figure your own shit out, which is genuinely good advice because the majority of people are and remain fools their whole lives, not very few elders are loving as well.
Beautiful advice. To often younger people dismiss elders as just old and feeble when in reality they are full of wisdom and have an amazing sense humor.
......
@@engelrivera-torres979 u must be a hit at parties 🎉, but since we are getting technical even when their mental health declines that itself is also a lesson. You reflect on the person's achievements, mistakes and then realize that you not only have 1 life to live but also that even though you can make it to old age there is still your health you need to keep in mind. See?
Learning to problem solve and shoulder responsibility/accountability for yourself are probably the biggest building blocks for a person at any age
Yea I’m tired of the life old attitude that you cannot fix these things when you get older. Probably the worst thing about modern society is that we seem to preach that we can’t change our situation. “Oh I’m not handy” “oh that’s not something id do” “I don’t like social events” “I can’t fix the tv” “I can’t workout alone” “I’m to old to fix my back swing in golf”. People need to stop locking themselves in these narratives. You can do exactly what you want.
Agreed 1000%
It's vital to survive

The fact that he didn't say something like 'see you can do it on your own'. Instead he said ' How did you do that?! That's wonderful!'. It brings so much encouragement for a kid to do things on their own without making them feel stupid or like they should never come to you. It's like a reminder to them that they are smart and can figure things out and you will support them emotionally by reminding them they can do awesome things on their own❤❤
Easily the most intelligent person I have ever listened to in my lifetime. Guys an absolute practical genius.
So right....good lessons learned...problem solving. Independence. And got praised for figuring it out.. self esteem....wonderful dad
Growing up, from the age of about 5, I watched my dad fix everything. He always had me by his side so I could watch and learn and hand him tools he'd ask me to pass to him. Got to the point he didn't ask anymore, I just knew, he'd hold up his hand and I'd hand him whatever he needed, no words, just in sync with the motions from years of being his little helper. As an adult i fix everything myself because of him. Greatest teacher I ever had.

Not only did he toughen Him up but also gave him praise. He did 2 very important lessons in one lesson. Props to him bro
This is real tough love, there’s a clear purpose behind it and there’s real love to balance the toughness
Without doing anything, this man taught his kid to think for himself and take the initiative to fix his own problems.
❤
What's wild is just doing that one time for the first will actually mold the kid for life. It's kinda wild when you think about it because it's the difference between creating an independent or dependent human being but most people never ponder it.
@loverofhumanity yeah exactly, that and giving praise to your child for a job well done, easily promotes or encourages critical thinking from a young age.
This is what kids really want. That interaction with his Dad was more prescious than a new toy car❤
I miss my Father.....
He use to pick me up over his shoulders because i was short.
I could see the whole world from there.
I am amazed to see this brilliant person in shorts. For whoever is interested, the name of this person was actually Jacque Fresco. He was a humanitarian above all, an innovator, architect and futurist. His work is brilliant and his contributions are foundational on child education, social structure and problem-solving culture. I strongly encourage to check out his lectures and his “Venus project”, an architectural project based on his utopia. A true humanitarian that every school in this planet should show its kids. Rest in peace Jacque❤
I think the problem comes when parents scolds kids for messing up. I think it's important to teach kids how to fix their problems rather than not have problems.
Snowflake alert
It just depends on how bad they mess up like what if your kids started physically getting violent with somebody else and wouldn't stop no matter how much you scolded or praised them and you'd never talk them how to do that they just started doing it there would be an issue and it would deal with physical violence
@@tylermccandless925indeed. Took the words from me. There's a balance to parenting. Can't be too harsh, can't be too nice. But true love is real. Never had a dad or a son for that matter but.... This just got to real. Imma smoke
@@Hades.666 same
He could have shown his son how to fix it, but he wanted his son to figure it out on his own and be self reliant. Yes accepting and asking for help is ok, but sometimes you won’t have any help around and will need to solve problems on you own
Dads are SO important. Men are SO important.
Thank you. A lot.

@@makhnothecossack4948couldn't get the wheel back on his car and got trapped in a snowstorm. Froze to death.
Not only put things upon them. The key is what he said after the child had success. He praised the accomplishment in a way that would make the child swell with pride. That is the key ... but you must wait until the accomplishment is successful. The more you do that, the more success you'll see.
This is how you raise kids to hate you.... The dude is just randomly throwing their shit away
@@Sin41255 seems like a great way to raise kids with victim mentalities if you're constantly making them feel like victims
@@JACpotatos if you think that way, you'll be friends with your kid and they'll love you, but they'll never learn how to properly love themselves. As a verb.
@@JACpotatosthis is why your parents hate you 😂
@JACpotatos I get why you feel that way... but I'm gonna push back on you a little bit... true life-long growth and true learning in that stage of childhood is essentially a series of small, manageable, slightly traumatic events and when a parent facilitates opportunities for growth and problem-solving in the way this man did for his son, the child learns to be a problem solver and becomes a resilient, confident, capable, internally-happy human being. I think a few tears and a moment of emotional pain and a feeling of loss is a totally healthy way to empower a child when followed up with the love and attention of this father
This is perfect.. from getting his child to think for himself, use problem solving skills, asking him what he did to fix it, praising him.. just everything
You can never expect your children to have self confidence if you cannot show your confidence in them.
Something I wish I had growing up, or even today. I make sure my daughter knows I do. I'm so proud of her. Her mother left us and she is 3 now. Such an intelligent little girl. Thrives on encouragement. Takes the sting away for not having any because I can see the benefit of my encouragement and confidence in her.
I love my mom but she never let me do anything as a kid and it was a rough wakeup call going Into the real world. I see her do it with my nieces now and sometimes I have to remind her they're capable too
Wow! Great
@@johnnyhellsink6124 I salute you sir single dads don’t get enough praise as single mums do.

LMAO wtf damn you females were a holes frr LMAO no cap 🧢 wheeze!!! 😂😂😂😂 So you never appreciated and thanked him and you thought he was evil father LoLz! If you didn't show your father appreciate gratefulness love grace thanks. I highly doubt you loved him.

I don't believe that for one second. Should've hugged him with he was alive.
As someone raised by my grandparents, he's correct. I feel horrible bad mouthing my sister but you can immediately tell she was raised by my parents, just from our core values. It hurts sometimes because people don't think we're related.
Patience plays a huge part in this. Wise words from can only
Imagine a wonderful father!
Gentle encouragement. No yelling, cussing, or screaming required. Encourage them to problem solve, point them in the direction they need to go.
My dad didnt do it all for me, but he did help me, show me things and encourage me. When I was in the hospital when I was 4, had surgery for my hip, the doctors and women in my life made me feel like a victim, and some docs said I wouldnt walk again. One night my dad had bought me Incredibles the movie, and I saw dash, and I said I wanna run like him. My dad said then why dont you try. I was quick with the I cants and so on. But my dad, taught me how walk, encouraging me, ready to help. I am 23 now, I still got leg problems but I am strong because when I start thinking of the I cants. I remember that I could, and I just needed his voice in the back of my head saying you can. Just keep pushing keep trying. Im tearing up typing this.
Thank you for this vid. Much needed advice. Can’t wait for my boy to talk.
When i have a hypothetical child i will look back at this.
I enjoy telling my daughter "let me show you how" then I show her step by step what to do, and how to do it. After it is fixed, I try to unfix it in the same manner so she can do it herself too. She has picked up how to just fix alot herself. It's amazing watching her grow😊
Im gonna be a father one day man is that crazy
comments like this give me hope. sending love and blessings your way man
As she gets older I recommend getting her to experiment on solutions instead and only if she gives up do you show her, it's a great way to encourage growth and exploration (and find out how smart she really is)
u should try to let her try to figure it out herself, helps with critical thinking and when it doesn't go well u can always jump in and help
Thats the right way!!
That's probably the best way someone could have told me how to teach a child, it may be common sense for some people but I'm always for learning and improving.
Spend time with elderly, the amount of wisdom they impart for free, u become a better person for it, it's inevitable
He is exactly right!!!! People today are more worried about hurting feelings than they are raising independent,strong, confident, competitive,humans
He didn't praise the child, he praised the work he did.
Underrated comment 💪🏾
whats the difference? ffs the the kid became a problem solver and got praised for it.
@raheemabdul1066 As he should've been. You're reading way too deeply Raheem.
Zero difference, dont believe everything you read.

I LOVE love this ❤

Terrible parent you are
We always had our kids try and figure things out on their own, but always made sure they knew that we were there to encourage and support them. Even if things didn't turn out the way they wanted it to, we made sure they knew that they didn't really fail because they never gave up. All four of our boys are fiercely independent but call almost every day just to chat and share their frustrations and triumphs. So proud of how they have turned out.
My mom passed away 4 years ago and I miss her she was a single mother I never knew my dad my mom was the only good thing I had in life and she taught me how to take care of myself and she did the best for me I bought my first house and I don't have a mortgage I paid for the hole house it is a five bedroom two bathroom home and three garage and half acker back yard I paid 92 grand I have solar so I pay 83 dollars for utilities and don't have to pay a electric bill, all because my mom loved me and taught me how to be strong I miss her every day and I can't wait to see her again someday god bless everyone and stay strong.

You’re a very wise person and this world could do with a lot more altruistic forward thinking people rather than selfish. So thank you.
@redactedredacted6205 LOL but in all seriousness for a 2 year old it's allowing them to struggle with age appropriate challenges. Such as saying words correctly and being diligent in correcting their pronunciation versus allowing them to mis pronounce words and adapting to them; versus teaching them to adapt. Don't be overbearing about it of course but diligent and patience in enforcement.
I'm sure they know all those big words
I’m so happy I was raised right, my parents always told me “hate me now, love me later” and to this day I love them for raising me the way they did.
Love your comment. What did your parents do, that you hated when you were young but come to truly appreciate and be thankful for as an adult? Would love to know.
That’s great; for you. I loved my parents throughout childhood and throughout my current young adult life.

Should have been a national treasure. I miss this man so much 😢
Yes this is true even in adults. People start stand alone when no one you can depends on.
My parents kinda had the reverse problem. Their problem was trying to keep my brother and me from taking important machines apart. We had a habit of wanting to know how things worked and putting them back together. We also ran into a problem with the extra piece left over after we put it back together, which Dad had to take apart and fix what we had done and explain along the way how and why things work. Those were the days.
So in the end, your dad fixed you broken wheel after all. 🤦♂️😂
@@gzus1482 No, lawn mowers, clocks, toasters, kitchen mixers, really complicated machines with electronics and motors. For 6 and 5-year-olds I thought we did really well, of course none of them were broken before we started. Never had a problem fixing small things like toys, bikes, and nonelectrical things. Nor any problem "inventing" things like an improvised "hang glider" out of two umbrellas and some aluminum tubing and wire to hold it together. Mom was sure pissed about her umbrellas and the big knot on my brother's forehead, thou.

Very true… one thing I can say is all the tough love I gave to my son made him a respectful hardworking kind man at 19… God bless all❤️🇨🇦
I'm a homemaker and 4th generation Idaho farmer, and this is exactly right!! We do this with our boys. Sometimes we don't have dinner ready and they are hungry but we are exhausted so we say make dinner then and they do. Same with laundry when they don't have clean clothes. They do them as part of their chores along with dishes and cleaning their own bathroom. I couldn't imagine having kids any other way! Kids need to be raised with good work ethic and I see a lot of lacking in the near by cities. My boys don't even enjoy conversations with those kids that just get everything handed to them and they can tell the difference. Our boys do not get big commercial presents at Christmas or for birthday. If they want something big they are to work for the money to buy it. Not sure why people don't see the character building way of raising kids. We are so close and we wouldn't have it any other way:)
They have to earn money for big commercial presents . From where ? Working on a farm you probably inherited. When you are too exhausted they have to cook , you were not to exhausted to lay down and have them . Cook your children dinner . And I’m sure you claim them on your tax return as well, earn this , earn that , that’s what your kids will have to do until they retire , you don’t have children you have tax write offs .
@@adeteforevermore5900congratulations on sounding exactly like the spoiled city kids lacking work ethic he describes. 👍
Work ethic is important, but kids have to have time to think and be a kid

I'm glad I get to see this clip from time to time. Reminds me of what kind of parent I should be in the future!
I have a 10 month old and it’s crazy watching her develop and watching her figure things out.
I raised my kids in a similar way. And I didn’t just buy them a new toy when something broke either. My kids learned to cherish what they have and to solve their problems without me as much as possible. Only when they were stumped did they come to me. They learned resilience, responsibility, and independence. And I’m so proud of them! ❤
You're right. This type of parenting does teach resilience and persistence. You work the problem until you find the solution.
... *and we're all proud of you. Sounds like you did a stellar job*
I'm sure they did, I would like to talk to their spouses. That's the biggest determination if you did a good job or not.
@@ASmith-jn7kfand biggest indicator of how she interacted with them
Great parenting♥️
This man makes a great point. My parents had me later in their age and they would always say to me, you better think for yourself because mommy and daddy won't always be around. So, I learned to figure things out for myself. Today, ideas and solutions come instantaneously to me. It's the best advice they could have given me.
That is admirable that you try to solve things on your own, i do too but even so, my parents are always ready to lend a hand if something is too difficult to handle it by yourself, heck i even ask my older brother's help sometimes. There is no shame on asking help, wheter you ask from your parent or not so you could sometimes try to ask their help or advices if neccesary.
Thanks for the advise gramps. I'm just a dad who fights his demons like everyone else, tryna give my kids better manners, treat ppl kindly and never forget to tell each other we love each other. Something my parents never taught me but I always wanted. ❤ had to grow up and learn on my own.
True, teach them, praise them and express your love for them
Everyone should be blessed with a father like this 🙏❤️😇
I don't see the importance of fatherhood. I always wondered what's the importance of fathers in a child's life. I can see why mothers are important. Women are socially and biologically programmed to be parents much more strongly than men are. Mothers are the ones that produce milk to feed to their babies. Also, mothers are the ones that are usually in charge of their babies, and they assume that role early on. Also, women have "maternal instinct", while men don't have anything like that. And also, children usually spend a lot more time with their mothers than they do with their fathers, and during that time, the mothers are usually taking care of the children. Mothers usually spend more time with the kids than fathers.
Also, most animals in this world are only taken care by their mothers and they don't have their fathers around at all. So why are human fathers important? It seems that a child can grow up without a father, and still turn out ok.

@@Eteller0135 Many people are raised by single moms, and they turn out perfectly ok. The bond between mothers and children are a lot stronger than the bond between fathers and children are.
I heard that children who are raised by lesbian couples tend to turn out a lot better than children who are raised by heterosexual couples do. I heard that lesbian relationships are healthier because they understand each other. If both partners understand each other, they won’t want to break up with each other. I also heard that women have higher rates of depression when married (in straight relationships).
Women have maternal instinct, while men don't have anything like that. Being fatherless doesn't affect children that badly. Men are not wired to be parents since a single man can father over 1000 of children, while a single woman can only mother about 10 children. Men make millions of sperm each day, while women make 1 egg per month.
You get more DNA from your mother than your father. Also, your mom not only gave you more DNA (you’ve got her mitochondrial DNA too), but also provided you with every molecule that made up your body until birth. A man only contributes one cell to a baby. All the materials to make a baby are supplied by the woman.
It seems that women are a lot more important than men are when it comes to parenting. Women seem to be a lot better at childcare than men are.
It seems that women usually do most of the work when it comes to raising children.

Great advice...instilling confidence in children by letting them try to solve their own problems with your loving guidance.
What a great example of how true parenting should work
I’ve always been told a good parents is constantly testing their kid. Especially when talking about a father-son relationship. You either give your son problems to solve himself, or you see how reacts to the unavoidable. And you test him. If he fails, however, you teach him. You teach him to not give up when life gets touch. You teach him that sometimes he’ll be alone. Then, when the next situation arises, you watch and be proud when he passes your tests and the tests of life.
Big difference between not giving up and a battle of futility. I gave up on getting a wife because it was a battle of futility. When theres no point in trying when the result is always the same you prevent yourself from going down the path of insanity.
