      Except if you look, he still technically is. And he knew this day was gonna come like he said which is why he shouldn't have done it in the first place because children can't consent, naturally want to please their parents and feel the pressure of money, and we are their biggest protectors but putting them online and using them to make money puts them in danger. And he said they still have to help out..no child should have to work to provide for the family- the parents should be the only ones doing it. Not depending on their children for ANYTHING.

    I seldom comment on any CZcams videos because there is so much noise already, but I feel compelled to add on to the adoration that is being sent your way. THIS is exactly what drew me to your channel at the start. The lessons you were teaching your children from the start, and the way you deal with issues just embodies what true love and parenting can be. It's all life lessons and love, and that's all it has EVER been. On top of that, your willingness to show vulnerability and share your mistakes or even your thoughts on how you could have done better, I think is so valuable for people to see, and needed by so many people.
    Should I be blessed with children in my life, I will have counted myself lucky to have witnessed your journey: bumps, bruises, hiccups, and all. It bring me so much joy when I see people like you, who I view as just a genuine and good person, succeed. Thank you for the content, but most importantly, thank you for always showing us that the content of your character trumps all. Looking forward to whatever comes from you in the future.

    I LOVE 💗 THIS! This is such a wonderful thing to consider what your kids want over your own ambitions. So many people, especially on CZcams like these family blog channels will have all the children there 24 seven whether they wanna be there or not and it’s very intrusive sometimes especially as they start to get older and go through that awkward stage so this is wonderful that you listened to what they wanted. Good job!
    There was a time that I wanted to start a Art channel with my son, but I knew the commitment that would be required with me doing that and I thought about all the moments that he just does not want to be seen or does not want people to record him And I changed my mind because I really thought about how he would feel in that situation and I’m glad I did.

    I’ve been watching your family for years because of how seriously you take your parenting. I am not a parent myself, but I come from a very dysfunctional home and it’s healing to see you and Yvette do such an amazing job.
    I’m really excited for your books and your publishing company. As a translator myself, i wonder, have you guys considered translating the books to other languages?
    Also having an audio version is great for accessibility!
    Anyway, wishing you all the best of luck and blessings🤍

    Wow! Loving this news about the old stories. I can remember about 6 or 7 years ago when you were talking about chocolate babies stories. I quite understand the children feeling and being vulnerable on social media, and I remember that children change their minds all the time about what they like and don’t like. It’s great to chat to the children and hear their hearts but ultimately as parents you must do what you feel is right to protect the safety, dignity and privacy of your precious children. I’m sad all those videos of Theo and Riah as toddlers have gone. Some of my all time favourites 😂. ❤❤

    As a mom of 3, I just want to say I think you are a great dad. I really thought your idea of having them still work on the videos as part of your family business, but respecting their autonomy and not wanting to be on camera was so insightful. I know you don’t need my opinion, but I know as a parent, it’s sometimes good to hear from others that “hey you’re doing a good job.” And you really are.

    I'm so so impressed and inspired by you and your choice in respecting your kids privacy and mental space! Room for them to grow up in a safe, healthy, loving space. I feel like you're leading the way, carving the path for how to make this type of family content safely for your kids! I feel like it is possible to be done without filming kids. So many family channels do not consider their childrens choice and opinion and feelings.

    Its natural for children as they get older to feel self-conscious. It's hard enough growing up, but growing up with all it's pains in front of cameras must be super hard bc of things children want to forget; embarrassing moments, especially as pre-teens can always be rewinded by anyone watching your channel. You did the right thing! I beleaf in your family to always do what's best for your kids! You are NOT Willie Coleman!

    If they asked you to quit CZcams, then ACTUALLY delete them off of CZcams… doesn’t take a genius to figure that one out.
    Bruh, your kids are going to grow up and discover you lied to them and you haven’t deleted them and are going to lose all faith and respect in you as their father… the one who is supposed to love and protect them.

    I love watching your family videos,and I am a single woman without children. So many families need guidance of good parenting skill, and your channel is not only inspiring but informative! I appreciate the “consent” conversation, but children can feel one way one day and differently the next. I feel it is good you are revisiting the “ consent “ conversation with them, because maybe there can be a happy medium. If not, I love that you are writing books to spread your knowledge of creating a healthy family unit!❤

    They just want to grow up without a camera following them. They want to have full attention from Daddy.

    I was not sure what was going on so thank you for sharing this info with me. I’ve been missing you all, praying about it and God told me that something different was happening. I was pleased to join you a couple of weeks ago on a Zoom Conference. My technical skills could be better and so at the age of 72 I tend to miss out on some of the technology. I love being able to be a financial supporter (patron supporter) of Belief in Fatherhood for the last several years, and will hang in with that support as your family pivots and figures this out because God has let me know that this is an important time for you, your family and the mission He’s commissioned you with.
    Your mission is to train fathers and that’s what you are doing by listening to Theo and Uriah. I respect that because I know changing directions this way it’s possibly messing with your family’s livelihood. I know that God has you, and that you and Yvette are being led in this. I’ve no doubt y’all will come out the other side of this stronger as a family. Stay true to your mission. Thank you for sharing this info with me.
    By the way Theo asking why y’all are not doing videos anymore really does need to be talked out. I hope I don’t miss that convo when you post it. It may be that he did not understand the import of what he was communicating with you. He may not have thought you were actually listening and would act on his objection to his being in front of the camera. Kids logic is not always as direct as we’d hope…who knows what he thought would truly happen with the videos. Be blessed Glenn! Your coming thru this because God’s faithful!

    But now I do (he’s 13 now) and it’s simply because he wanted privacy and he’s not into being posted online at all.
    Some people will understand your decision and some people won’t. Either way, kudos to you and your wife listening to your kids. Your family has helped me a lot through my parenting journey; I wish you guys much success in your new endeavors.
