Patience In Nuclear Black Family
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 03. 2022
- This season of life for our family is one of disruption. We are blessed to be remodeling our house, but I would be lying to you all if I said that it has been ideal to relocate during the renovation with four children who are homeschooled plus a new puppy. In addition to renovations, there's also renegotiations going on. Yvette and I are having to find new ways to adjust to each of our children's behaviors and needs while still preserving the culture of our family. Sometimes that means taking a different approach to parenting, which requires a lot of patience from both of us and our children. Through it all, I feel as though God is telling us we need to be patient as we live through the lesson He is trying to give us.

Love how Anaya was able to translate to her dad what Uzi was saying. That was too cute.
Definitely thought the same thing
Omg yes same🥰
she spoke the same language not too long ago it must be a kid thing lol
I understood him! 😄
I have a great nephew who has some speech issues. At 4 or 5, they visited, and we went to a car museum when it rained. He said he wanted to see the "jean". We couldn't understand him. So he took his index finger, moved it in a circle, and said, "zzzz".
It took us a few minutes to figure out that "zzz" was a bee, bees sting, he wanted to see the Stingray! Kid's smart, we were just slow that Saturday!
That has always amazed me Celdon. How children can speak toddler and understand it from their younger siblings. It always has blown my mind when I do not understand what my nephew is saying then his 2 years older sister my niece will just look at me like "uhhh, that's not what he was saying. He said this.."
Imagine how many little boys who just needed some physical energy outside the classroom but were labeled with learning problems. I am glad you are healing this way.
I had my son doing squats, instead of ADHD medicine, his biological mother reported me, he been with her since 2017, now at 16 he has a weed habit, but GOD
@@chaplainwin154 I'd bet if we were speaking with either of them, they'd have a different story on your form of "discipline" 🙄
There is nothing wrong with needing medication or having adhd. The only concern is ensuring people get the right and appropriate diagnosis.
My son needed both types of help.. .
I never allowed the med therapy the school recommended ( said id pull him out if they required it. I also homeschooled as a single parent for several years )
physical and sensory activities helped him greatly. however, he was also in need of LD assistance, & once he received it, he was much more productive and no longer avoident.
@@chaplainwin154 haha im the 24 year old version of your son, very non traditional parents. Had a weed habit at 16 to try and fill the dopamine I lacked and get some form of focus. That's likely why he smokes. I sort of wish my parents had helped me get onto some medication. I'd say atleast talk to him and a doctor about it. Much love 💞
Watching your daughter getting her hair braided was a special moment.
I agree. Such a sweet moment & the audio backing is dope too. 🌻
It really touched me--and she was so patient, too! Her quiet, head-swinging enjoyment in her finished "do" was so lovely to see. You are a beautiful girl, little sister : ) .
“Cinderella is on Netflix dad!” 😂❤️ Uzi went from a baby talk to telling Dad where his movies are over NIGHT I swear!
I know right!!
It's refreshing how you parent your kids according to their personalities. This level of parenting requires a great deal of patience and introspectiveness. I love hearing Glen identifying his younger self in Uriah and finding efficient ways to keep him engaged academically. Also noticing how disciplining Uriah may affect Theo (trying to be perfect) is the epitome of parenting. Thank you so much for showing this side of parenting, and may you continue to be blessed 🤎
Beautiful.
I know right!! I watch these videos and enjoy them so much. So much love and knowledge … i learn so much. Ignorance in my own life as a lighter skin latina, hope distilled as someone that came from an abusive family… AND good music and laughs. This man deserves an award for his ability to encapsulate his fam life in such a wholesome way. May they all always be blessed.✨💕
Man Theo is so much me. I say this as the oldest of the family, that perfect kid. I watched Theo looking at you and Riah during school time with such longing in his eyes. Perfect kids need breaks too. (This is said with no malice or criticism)
I love the Henry family. Blessings.
Yes - kinda broke my heart a little, looked like he wanted a turn of that special attention (divorced from schoolwork too) not saying dad didn’t get him up and do something of his nature/interest out of screen of this video right before/after the video! Dad is awesome so just betting her did :) Just saw the same as you - how much he would love it but maybe didn’t know how to ask for it or say “me too please!!” (I was that kid too, as the oldest, just like you!)
Love this family and how wonderful they all are
I saw this too!
Thank you for understanding where I was coming from and the good intentions I had with my post.
Same here, I'm the oldest child so your comment resonated with me. I love watching this family, they are all so wonderful.
Noticed as well
Something I've always admired about you guys is how you parent so authentically like, as yourselves. You talk to your kids like adults and don't change the way you're speaking to talk to them. I'm like afraid of not being myself with my future children and you guys show that everyone doesn't have to parent the same way. You also tailor your parenting to each child bc every child is different, love that 💛
You should take Theo out one day just father and son and allow him to let go. Maybe go to a fair or an amusement park but just a free day where he can not worry about trying to be the perfect son or sibling.
Great idea thanks
“Even Though I Push Him Toward Greatness, It Doesn’t Mean He’s Not Good Enough” - Beleaf
What a POWERFUL Statement ❣️❣️❣️
All Praises Unto THEE MOST HIGH 🤲🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I felt Theo wanting that level of attention and appreciation. I know it was only a small segment of a day, but in this instance it was noticeable.
Love that, “your hair is an antenna leading you to the promise land” 😭🙌🏾
If Beleaf isn’t one of my favorite lyricists ever.
I also love the way you asked Anaya to translate what Uzi was saying.
Just an all around great Dad Beleaf!👑
Wow, when you looked over at Anaya to see what Uzi was saying that brought me back. When I was younger and my brother was just a baby I remember I was the only one who knew what he was saying. My parents would always ask me to translate his babbling and I remember asking him questions like his favourite colour and my parents thought I was making up answers but a lot of what we talked about when he was a baby is still true today ☺️ older sister younger brother bonds are tight!!!
LMBO Yvette's face...it takes a considerate spouse to know when to step in so the other doesn't get overwhelmed or feel like they are doing family alone.
They have tools to put the beads on now. Back in the day we had that aluminum foil 😂
Back in the day I always used a small crochet hook. A lot of people didn't know that was an option then. I put them on, though. I have no idea what the aluminum foil method is. Lol.
You should do voice-overs for books. Your voice is soothing. Your family is a blessing. Relatable is the best word to describe your page, thank you!!
This made me cry! I’m a single mom with a “Uriah” and I am worn out. Her actions at school are kicking my butt and so is homework and she’s only in Kindergarten. But I continue to advocate and show up for her. Thanks for shouting us out and giving us good advice because sometimes you forget as a single parent!
Sending you patience and perseverance vibes. I’m sure you’re kicking butt, momma. Love ❤️
As a co-parenting momma who definitely feels she’s doing this alone, I truly appreciate your acknowledgment and appreciation ❤️ May God bless you and your family and keep each of you, make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you.
Omg, Anaya is so beautiful! Her shaking those beads takes me back, I used to love when my mom got beads on my braids and I did the same ❤️
I'm not going to lie, I'm jealous of your kids. Being the oldest was tough for me. My dad was so hard on me and my little brother (8 yrs younger) was treated like a prince. I took care of him like a son since I was 8 yrs old. I had needs that were never met and its still hard for me to get over, I'm 26 now. I watch your parenting style to reprogram myself, to prepare for my future children. Thank you for helping me. ❤
Uzi just loves Anaya thats so sweet ☺ she has her own little buddy. I was watching older videos and noticed that maybe Anaya felt left out because her older siblings were always like a team the big kids and the babies, which may be a reason she lets Uzi do whatever to her, so he'll be her buddy
I “liked” the video when it was first posted before I got to watch it. Then after it was over I was so touched I wanted to like it again. I love this family so much. Thank you for this beautiful black wholesome content♥️
Why are you so full of wisdom and knowledge? It's incredible to watch you as a man, a husband and a father. Such a beautiful, beautiful family.
Glory to the Most High
@@adriannalennox5497 Amen🙏🏼
The feeling when you get your hair done and you know you look good!! Yesssss my little chocolate princess, Theo just makes me wanna hug him, I see so much of my middle and oldest son in him. You guys really help me with my kids..
I had a hairstyle like that back in the eighties. Nearly broke a tooth on them beads trying to flip my hair 🤣🤣🤣
This family is beautiful. This is content is what we need.
I love Anaya's and Uzi's relationship. I also love that you recognize what Uriah needs to learn. Theo is really growing and maturing. And he's a lefty like my daughter! Beautiful family!
I used to LOVE getting my braids and beads when I was little and it is still my absolute favorite style on little Black girls!! Anaya, keeping the tradition going strong!!! 😍😍😍
Are you all sure Uzi did not walk out the womb(yes I said walk outlol) ready for school. 😂He is so advanced for his age. Imagine he told his father where to look for Cinderella.😂😆😂And dad did not understand but sissy sure did.
Not Anaya being interpreter for Uzi... that's too cute.
Ha!!! Every family has a sibling interpreter! I used to speak so fast as a child and my little sister had to interpret for me 😂😂😂😂 I love it!
The way Anaya translated for Uzi reminded me of how I used to translate my younger sister’s baby babble for everyone when we were little. It’s so interesting how children understand one another so intuitively.
Uzi’s relationship with Anaya is ADORABLE 😍
Anaya with the hair whips. The affection Uzi has for her sister. Looking like two factions here... The two older brothers then the lil sis and lil bro. So precious.
I love how Anaya is Uzi’s translator 😂❤️
Uriah is just drumming to his own beat! When his family says beep… he goes BOP!
Seeing your daughter “translate” what Uzi wanted made me so happy. It reminded me of when I was the only one that could understand what my little brother said. I felt so special. Now, he says he’s my big brother bc he’s taller than me and I can’t wait to tell him we weren’t the only ones that did this! Thank you!
Hello Sir, i just wanted to let you know that u reached my inner side. I never wanted to have kids or my own family, but when I'm watching you raising your kids, go with them through good and bad times I'm overthinking my point of not want to have kids. You doing great Sir, you are inspiring to to us black people 💛💛💛
Nya looks like a princess as usual, her mother keeps her looking so beautiful and the men in her life lets her know she is just that. Great parental influence. I love you guys!
My little brother has always expressed himself physically, through some form of combat. What you said about Uriah reminds me of that. My brother is the sweetest person and he has always been the best in wrestling, boxing, and now jiu jitsu. We’ve always thought it was because he was born premature and was in and out of the hospital as a newborn. He’s a fighter… he has to fight, but because of his training he understands not to be a violent person. Something to think about for Uriah?
I'm not a parent myself but I hope to be one one day.
I appreciate and learn from your videos for the future keep up the great family journey lesson
Anaya is Uzi fave and that’s on her understanding his lingo🥰
Is it hard for Theo to learn in that environment when his brother needs a lot more engagement and movement when he learns?? You guys are amazing
Honestly, these videos are so therapeutic. I relaxed for the very first time today watching this beautiful family. Thank you for this!
Same
I love the poem spoken during Anaya geting her hair done. It's beautiful, did you write it?
Anaya is such a little goddess ! I light up everytime I see her ! She is a smiler, always smiling when she talks I do the same 😊
I have 3 kids. Boy, girl, boy. I try to find what they're naturally good at and encourage that. When their confidence grows in one area, I've found that they begin to do better in all areas👍 and yes, physical exercise plays a big part in helping the mind to focus.
The hair looks fantastic, btw😍
Ok Beleaf.. I love the poetry. Baby girl got her wish.. She wanted a house with a pool.. The LORD answered her prayers via Airbnb lol.
I really clapped out loud when Riah said the complete sentence! Good job!!!
I love that. Pushing your son towards greatness, yet trying to make sure he's aware that it doesn't mean he's not good enough already.
Just love this beautiful, positive black American family ❤️❤️
I loved watching her get her hair done! It brought me back to when I was young always asking for braids and beads 😂. Also loved watching her connection with uzi 💖. Reminds me of me and my little bro, and I still translate for him!
Anaya is a princess❤️😍
And….. it’s so inspiring to see you both teach❤️🙌🏾
I can always feel my smile when I watch your uploads
You guys are great with your kids,I really admire seeing the way you parent. I didn't grow up with good parents so it made me afraid to have children bc I have felt like I won't know what to do. My mom was untreated bipolar and we went through a lot,my dad was nowhere around and we are so emotionally disconnected that I can't even hold a normal conversation with him bc i feel like I'm talking to a stranger. At 35 I am feeling now ready for a child and really hope that I can be what they need ,thanks for the inspiration.I love your videos and your dialogue. You can see the love in your family. ❤️
Truth be told, most parents feel like they don't know what to do, even when they have had good parents as models. I think that it's because all kids are different. What I love about Beleaf and his wife is that they have taken the time to learn each child's personality and work with them based on that. What I also like is that their videos show that sometimes they do get it wrong (as we all do). The important thing when you do is that you apologize to your kid and explain what happen and then you make it right. And more than anything else, what children need is loving discipline - like even when Beleaf had Uriah do squats, he's right there with him and his tone stays mellow the whole time, not angry. The most important thing, above all else, is that children need to be shown that you love them. The most significant and important job that a parent has is to raise their child. If you have love and can apply consistent discipline, you can learn how to do the rest. Blessings.
@@UpliftedNow I love that too. Thanks for your kind words. 🙏🏻
Anaya translating "Netflix" for Uzi and the hair flips at the end😍😍 Love the approach you take with parenting Uriah💙 I LOVE learning so school was super easy for me. Watching Uriah struggle to stay engaged makes me wonder how I would work with my child if they didn't love learning.
Idk why this family always makes me tear up- the patience and authenticity is so beautiful. Thanks for showing that it’s possible
I have watched your stuff for years. It's a continual encouragement to me. I would honestly love to connect with you bro and talk parenting... Got a unique story that I would love to share with you! Either way know that I'm thankful for what y'all do and the example you set! Keep at it!
Email me: contact@beleafinfatherhood.com
I’ve seen you guys on the insurance commercial!!!
The way you know your children so well, and how you know the best way to love them and learn is so inspiring. I strive to be like that for my future children.
Thank you for the love you express in your children’s tresses. The opening monologue is beautiful! 😍🥰
Youre poem about black hair....so beautiful!!!
Thank you for allowing us to share in your tender, playful, thought provoking, inspiring, and loving moments.
Your family fills my cup with all the feels.
I am a true BELEAFER ❤️❤️
😍 LOVED rya laughing when you were play fightin!!!!
So COOL how you both are SO patient, consistent, and improvise techniques like engaging in his physical to stimulate his mental!
Im so impressed by the level of fathering you provide. Unreal!!!
Children need this tupe of attention and accommodation based on the individual especially while learning and growing. We all learn differently and engage differently and are motivated by different things.
Standing ovation for this parenting!
I could only dream of being this good one day .. .... if ever!
Big love ❤️
I am in love with this family. Those kids are absolutely adorable. But I have to say, being honest, my heart belongs to Uncle Baby‼️ ❤️❤️❤️
Glen that poem was so beautiful, it took my breath away.
I love how this family parents their children.
I love how you all take personal interest in engaging each child how they need to be engaged. They are all growing and looking so handsome and Ms. Anaya is so very beautiful.
Thank you for being and sharing. It comes across as so much love and is enjoyable to experience. Blessings💜💜💜🧡🧡🧡
I’m proud of you brother. These videos help families all over the world. Great vibe and love. Fantastic keep up the hard beautiful work. My brother.
your way of parenting restores hope for me :) where can I find your music? lots of love!
Wow u guys are gonna reach 1 million this year !
All the Chocolate babies are so cute, Anaya, love your braids.🤎🤎🤎🤎
Aniah is the Uzi whisperer. Parenting takes a lot of patience. I’m glad that you stepped in when you saw that Yvette had reached her limit. I’ve been there before. I homeschooled my three kiddos for six years.
Thank you all so much once again for the Godly love you share with us all!!! 🙏❤
Glad Anaya was there to translate for Uzi lol. It was really cool to see her do that though
Awe, UZI sounds so good. Theo has the best smile. Uriah, I can relate. School work is sometimes boring, I work at a High School & sometimes I have to take notes for my students. I do a lap in the hall or outside for a mental break. Good wrestling with your Dad. Niah love the hairdo girl, You look very beautiful.
Extremely dope video. Growing up I was like Theo and my little brother was Uriah. Somehow, watching this is providing some form of healing for me. No need to be perfect, because greatness doesn't equal perfection. I wish I was told that as a kid, as irrational as that may sound
i say it every time but anaya is looking more like riah every day omg she’s so cute 😭
Every girl has a neck go to after that hair gets done. Stiff or Loose and Anya is definitely a loose neck, I got inches don't talk to me girl and I love it🥰
I really love seeing your family! I do. I pray you have a happy memory of your sister today that brings you a smile; I'm losing my sister as we speak and I know what your loss truly means.
I’m so sorry to hear this. Please be gentle with yourself
So so lovely. Thank you for sharing these moments with us. You didn’t mention it, but may be doing so already, let Theo know your hope for him. That is the hope you mentioned of him knowing he doesn’t need to be perfect, he is already loved, even while working hard. I find that kids know what they hear, everything else is up for their interpretation, regardless of what our actual intentions may be.
Also Anaya being able to interpret Uzi is just so precious. You and Yvette are doing great, Glen! Praying for more grace, strength, and provision in these season.
Sir Beleaf and your Queen, what an anecdote you are to all that's happening in the world today. This is what it is all about, the sacredness of family, the blessedness of routine (and patience), the joy, privilege, humour and work of childhood. I discovered you only this year but every time I watch, I am uplifted (how all of our spirits need to be lifted). Thank you.
Every episode is a banger I loved this one. I seen myself in anya with the beads lol 😂 love you guys!!
I love your family and you and your wife are such awesome parents! School is sooo hard for kids who are physical. The way you adapt your parenting to the unique character of each of your kids is so beautiful. Thank you for being REAL and true to yourselves and your wonderful family. God bless and keep you all. 🙏
I found y’all on TikTok last month and have been binge watching all of your videos! (I’m at the videos when y’all only had 2 kids. Lmao) Anyways, love watching your videos!
That intro monologue was so beautiful
Black men and women’s hair is like a crown, so beautiful and intricate, so much thought and care put into every little detail. It needs to be appreciated!
10:34 ..be good to yourself...
Tell yourself this throughout the day...
11:06 priceless....their bond is beautiful....
That poem? That poem tho?? WHEW! Sooo good. Put me in my feelings and soul tingles.
When I become a parent, I hope I am as knowledgeable and patient with them as you and your wife are. I love how you raise your kids. Stay blessed.
The way I was smiling big and saying "yas girl!"when Anaya was tossing her styled hair side to side. Gorgeous😍
I’ve been watching your shorts, now I’m onto the longer content. This family is so special. So much love to all of you ❣️
Ugh! I always watch for these videos and bask in the abundance of laugh and love. I’m always nearly in tears; it’s beautifully overwhelming. Today, I didn’t expect the statement to single parents. 😭 I’m a single mom of two. I’m a high school teacher also. I’m stretched in every direction! Thank you for seeing us and reminding us. 🖤
It’s the CZcams name reminding me of uzi lol whatshaname
@@raneishashorter6495 🤣🤣🤣🤣 right??? I think about that all the time! My son interrupted his Taekwondo teacher, “What’s ya name.” Oh how I hollered.
@@Whatshaname I would have did the same thing so funny
“You know what else is hard, squats, let’s go do some” love it!
Those are some beautiful words of appreciation around our hair…I received that, thank you 😊
I love how the sister is advocating for her younger brother, that is so beautiful.
What a treat! Thanks Mr. Fatherhood for incorporating your other gifts into the channel.
You guys are such awesome parents. I love how you don't use the quickest answer or just do things to shut ur kids up. You actually make the effort for each child in different ways too if necessary! You guys should do some type of parenting groups or something. All your hard work pays off your kids listen well and are so intelligent!! Oh and Aniyah I lovvve your hair mama you look so beautiful 😍🤗🤗
First off, your authenticity is so admirable, I love seeing your family grow. It reminds me of moments in my own life I rarely think about anymore since my kids are all grown. I am in my 50’s and was school aged in the 70’s. Having said that, in those times not much was known about learning disabilities and I had undiagnosed issues that I passed to my girls. Watching this series it really hit me that many of Uriah’s behaviors looked very much like the strategies we used to avoid tasks that were difficult because of our learning issues. What looked like misbehaving ie. lying, avoiding, not completing tasks (that I knew we were capable of and were age appropriate,) paying attention to what the person teaching you was expecting from you or their different limitations and using those to avoid performing a task we really weren’t able to do (without learning coping strategies) weRe spookily similar. Now of course, I’m not speaking something like this into your lives, but I bring it up because my own learning disability was undiagnosed, so when my kids acted out I thought that, like me, they were being naughty and manipulative ( as I had been told I was) I had ZERO idea that what I had been doing wasn’t misbehavior but finding a solution for a deficiency! I hope that Uriah is just misbehaving and these disciplinary measures are all he needs but I would highly recommend having a thorough series of diagnostic testing (preferably not a cursory testing although they are free when performed by public schools) done to make sure this isn’t an extremely smart kid figuring out how to cope with a learning disorder. Thanks again for your transparency! It’s rare and beautiful
Single Mama here 🙋🏽♀️! Thank you for those words . I really needed a reminder !
You have such a beautiful family and it’s amazing to watch her do her hair
Like I always say, I absolutely love this family. Amazing!!! I'm a single mom Beleaf. Thank you for letting me know I'm a good mom!!!
