Your reaction to him being upset reminds me of my favorite parenting quote. “When little hearts are filled with big emotions, share your calm, don’t join their chaos.” Well done.
"you can't even hear me and you're still yelling at me." Encapsulated toddlers perfectly! My sister once butt dialed my mom, and was talking to her son, who was a toddler. She told him that they were going to clean up his toys and go have lunch. My nephew said, "I don't like it, I don't want it." And my sister said, "I haven't even made it yet, and already you don't like it" and she sounded utterly defeated. My nephew had some challenges, he is dyslexic, but he is a healthy, happy, (and huge, lol 6"2!) 20 year old now, and my sister laughs at that story now. I bet your patience will pay off, and you and your son will be able to smile at his toddler-ness.❤️
Just curious does he thrive on his own or is she still a caregiver to him? Mine is 15 and dyslexic and sometimes it worries the sh!t out of me what his future is going to be like. He has a hard time doing certain things.
@@user-sn3ek4vj2j my nephew has a small apartment in my sister's basement, where he lives with his girlfriend. He has some support from my sister, but for the most part, takes care of his day to day life. He's had a few jobs, done well at all of them, and is currently in school for woodworking. His life isn't perfect, but he is overall doing really, really well. As an added perspective, I also have a learning disability, different from my nephew's, but we do share some of the same traits (my niece calls us the awkward twins, lol). I'm 37, been married for 13 years, no house, but lived on my own for 12 years (my husband and I moved in with my mother during covid for lots of personal reasons), have post secondary schooling and love my job as a care aide in a retirement home. I'll never be rich and there's things I'll always struggle with (why does adulthood have so much paperwork??), But I'm far from a failure. Love, acceptance, and support from family and friends, as well as recognizing strengths have helped me a lot. I know you'll always worry about your son, but it is definitely possible to thrive with a learning disability ❤️. Sending you good vibes.
I love this story. It perfectly encapsulates experiences with my toddler. He eats most things. But even when he wants it and I attempt to give it to him he shys away, or sometimes just throws complete fits, then shortly after comes for whatever I’ve tried to hand him. Children are an extreme challenge sometimes.
@@user-sn3ek4vj2j my step dad has dyslexia, and just got diagnosed with adhd at 61. He's crazy successful in his field- multiple awards, and multiples of an award thats rare to get even once.
@@user-sn3ek4vj2j yeah I’m 20 with stealth dyslexia and add but currently double majoring in college with a gpa of 3.9. not that that’s everything, but I’m just saying that high achievement and especially just personal growth and success in that way doesn’t have to be diminished due to learning differences. it has been a long journey and like others have said there will kind of always be things that I experience differently. but to be honest, when you’re in the right supportive environment that allows you to actually use your brain the way it’s designed, the differences from a more “neurotypical” mind sort of feel like superpowers. there are ways of thinking in which dyslexic and other neurodivergent people excel but that others can’t even access if their brain simply doesn’t work that way, just like there are amazing cognitive abilities that someone high-functioning on the autism spectrum may have but I never will. hope that helps you a little, I know strangers on the internet can only do so much haha but it’s really sweet that you clearly just want to set your son up for success! :)

Let's just say, we agree to disagree.😊 Be safe, be strong & remember to Love Yourself, so that you may best love others. 🙏💪💜
He is highly intelligent! LOL! I loved when he did the breathing and calmed down, but he is so intelligent and aware. Mom, you're so patient and you work with him to help him express himself so well. Keep up the good work mom!
@@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens - LMAO! Oh no! All of them are absolutely NOT intelligent and aware! One only needs to do a quick search on TH-cam or TikTok to see the countless number of kids who are cute (or semi-cute in some cases), but aren't aware or, seemingly, very intelligent!
This is golden. I’m sure these videos helps many, many people. And I’m sure you still make mistakes, every parent does, but you are doing so great. Calm and soft eventhough you’re frustrated (and maybe exhausted as well) but resolute
I'm so glad you two have each other. You're doing so well. He's so loved and cared for, and you're teaching him emotional recognition and mitigation so well. ❤
No she didn’t!! She’s losing her shit! She cut the video off at the end! Not every thing is as it seems.. you can tell by her attitude she’s very frustrated at him!! I get it it’s hard but he doesn’t need to see that shit!! He’s a baby! You explain these things smiling and shit!
@@alyssareed3292 that is not how you deal with a little baby sweetheart. Let alone a deaf kid that doesn’t understand what going on most of the time. I mean this lady fucking forgets that her child is deaf when he’s calling for her leaving him sooo confused and alone while she’s screaming at the top of her lungs letting him know where she is because SHE FORGETS HES DEAF SOMETIMES?!! What kind of a mother is this LADY?!! That poor child! I mean I am not the only one who can see through her shit! She’s clearly using him for views too
@@shalom4838 you’re obviously not a parent if you think that’s how kids should be handled. The toddler was messing with expensive equipment and throwing a tantrum it is a normal human response to get frustrated
@@shalom4838 as a mother and a outsider who has no connection to her, I saw a frustrated mother who still took the time to explain to her child what he was doing wrong. I stated my opinion, I believe it, however you are free to think what you’d like as I am. I will hope before you judge so harshly to please watch it again.
I know this will sound odd from a stranger, but he is the most precious little boy I have seen, and his heart is so pure. Please know your doing amazing momma and hug him for me❤️❤️
YOU are doing an amazing job. You know what's best for you and your son. DO NOT listen to the people who critique you or bully you. They have no idea how hard it is. Your doing amazing. ❤
That deep breath was awesome. He’s gonna have to grow up a bit more to fully understand that he can either wear his ears or put them away, but they’re not toys. That’s so tough for kids his age when everything is a toy and you’re doing a great job reinforcing the lesson. Good luck on breathing deeply! Great job 👏
@@neekieeee True, though almost always those killers had bad things happen to them, causing emotional instability despite good parenting. Those are the exception, though. You are right that sometimes bad people come from good parents, though.
@@neekieeee 🤔 Don't forget that narcissistic parents exist. Just because nobody saw the abuse doesn't mean it didn't happen. I don't think that most of these so called "perfect families" are actually perfect.
Who in the world would think that you’re depriving him of hearing? Those are the people who allow their child to run the house. You obviously love the beautiful baby boy and have have cultivated such incredible patience. That’s what a loving mom does. God bless and your sweet Angel faced baby. ❤
I just love this kid. He is the cutest and even when he's throwing a temper tantrum I can't help but just want to give him a hug!! He reminds me so much of my own son
LOVE how everything shifts when she says she is frustrated in a compassionate way like hey bud, I'm upset I need ya to notice that. THAT is how empathy is taught.
People who think she's taking them away just to be mean.. don't realize that if the toddler beaks the equipment insurance will not replace it.. they will be responsible for the full price of the DME. Insurance companies will not replace lost stolen or broken DME.. They would either have to pay the $20,000 out of pocket.. or they would have to wait until the time insurance says it's medically necessary for them to have another set
The way you calm him done, and him being so receptive is quite impressive. To me it shows both your love and patience, and his trust in you!.... I used to work around very young kids and this kind of relationship is not always there between a child and a parent! You are doing an excellent job 👏😊
It is very interesting to watch this dynamic between you and your son. I feel like it’s teaching us how to communicate with our children in a different type of way. Shout out to you, mom for being calm and also explaining to your son what was going on
That smile on his face when you give him the keys to expressing his emotions!!! I used to work as a one year teacher, and toddler moments are hard to manage even with kids that don’t have his challenges. The teacher that trained me used basic ASL to give the kiddos (who have not mastered verbal communication as one years) a way of communicating. I lived for that look, the one where they felt heard and empowered! You are doing a fantastic job, he’s lucky to have such a caring mama.
It’s really nice you’re teaching him skills to calm himself. Also, living in Texas where it’s still pretty warm, I love the cozy vibes with the foggy windows and trees outside
Kids 🤣 you could give him every toy to play with, he'd probably still try to play with the hearing aids instead 🤣❤️ you're such a good and patient mama ❤️
No need to explain why you would take his "ears" in these situations. I don't have kids, but if I did and they broke $20,000 equipment, I wouldn't be able to replace it. I'd have a meltdown. You're doing a great job!
@@katie5920 yes but it's important to explain that's why. Some parents take disability aids away as a punishment for being naughty (rather than to protect the equipment) and that is abuse. The difference is between doing the right thing for your kid vs abusing your kid so very important they explained which one it was in the video
You do freaking amazing. Patience is key when handling a child with a disability. I know this because all of my family members who have disabilities and are all young. I lose my cool when I really shouldn’t, but that’s just because I myself am on the Autism Spectrum. You keep being you and I promise you that this kid will grow up to be an amazing young man.
It’s good that even when he’s not looking you still sign, even if he is ignoring and yelling at you, you don’t just randomly stop speaking (signing) to him in his language, it’s nice. I see a few people just not sign and I can imagine it feels quite isolating for your parent to randomly stop “speaking” to you in your language when addressing a camera. It’s also good practise!
You are an amazing mom!!! Didn’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise! You guys are doing all the best things for your adorable sweet boy!! Thank you for sharing life w us!!💜💜💜 You’re break at the end made me cry and I felt I just needed to make sure you heard how wonderful you are!!!💜
You did amazingly, that was incredible work ESPECIALLY with a toddler, let alone one who can’t even hear you watching you and Coop’s journey has filled my heart with joy, please never give up ❤
He's pretty damn chill compared to the 2.5 to 3 year olds I've dealt with. I was a teacher at a preschool and lowdy, lowdy have mercy on my soul I wanted to exorcize some of those kids... Yours seems pretty in control. Especially compared to the beasts I slayed.
MOM, YOU ARE NOT ONLY TEACHING YOUR SON, THAT IS DEALING WITH SPECIAL CHALLENGES ... BUT, YOU ARE ALSO TEACHING EVERYONE THAT SEE'S YOUR AMAZING VIDEO'S... HOW TO HELP THOSE THAT SUFFER FROM HARD CHALLENGES !!! YOU ARE AN AMAZING TEACHER ... TO SO MANY PEOPLE OUT HERE !!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR YOUR HARD EARNED GIFT ... YOU ARE SO MUCH APPRECIATED !!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🙃😁😅🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰
I know how this is. My daughter was trying to tell me she wanted something earlier and I couldn't understand and she just got so upset she almost cried and I was like im sorry baby :( . Even though she's been wearing her hearing aids forever she still has trouble with speech . in a way im still in shock but I realize how bad my daughters disability is now. Like when other kids who are 2 can sit there and sing nursery rhymes and you realize your daughter is just now able to almost sing like that and is talking more only because she's going to a school for the deaf, it hits hard 😢💔 sorry im rambling a bit even if no one sees this lol
I’m so sorry. I can’t really relate to what you’re going through with your daughter as I’m only 15, but I can imagine the pain you are going through as a mother trying to do the best for her kid. I really wish the best for you and your daughter and keep your faith in her. You can do this!❤
As a single momma of a son with autism (though I know being deaf is a whole different realm of struggles) I can relate on such a deep level. The meltdowns we mommas have, feeling like we aren’t enough and feeling guilty for said meltdowns knowing your little one deserves the world but feeling inadequate. Maybe it’s just me but I say all that to say, I can 100% relate with the frustration but I’m so impressed with the patience you show with your beautiful boy. You can tell you’re such a loving mama and it’s such a draining position to be in sometimes especially when you’re in a rush or in desperate need of some “me time”. But you’re doing great! Thank you for sharing your candid videos
God bless you for how you allow him to express his emotions, while communicating and defusing the situation. I don’t even know if I used the right words, but this makes me wish I could do things over. I definitely have emotional immaturity issues, from generational trauma.
when you had to take them off to charge them, I was wondering why not get another set... $20K ..never even considered how much it costs...Dear god, how ignorant can I be.
Throwing the bare foot over to REALLY get his point across. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Momma, you are teaching parents with your videos. Your emotions are valid. Peace & Blessings. 💜💜💜
Throwing the foot actually confirms he's having a tantrum and she needs to tell him the behaviors he doing are not acceptable. Not once did she tell him to stop shouting. He knew he was yelling and will continue to do it till she refuses to accept it. Others may look away and accept from a 2 year old but not a 4 year old. Even children with hearing loss need to be taught acceptable behavior. She needs to film corrections occurring better than this. He says, "now go home" sounds like he got his way!!!!!😢
I’m sorry mom but it’s ok to get frustrated. You’re doing an amazing job with teaching him about behavior & communicating with patience. He’s so darn cute.💕💯
Thank you. Iam learning and teaching my 2yr old ASL and you're videos make it so much easier for me to process and remember than all the apps I have tried. My toddler isn't hearing impaired, I just think ASL is something we should all learn. It also helps for those times she's housing big feelings she can't pronounce yet. I guess what I'm trying to say is my family appreciates your's.I know at times we second guess ourselves as parents but you are doing amazing and we love y'all.
This is obviously one of the toughest parenting circumstances ever, but just some stranger perceptions; because he can’t hear facial expressions is one of his understood languages. If you try to control your facial annoyance (totally understandable) and exhaustion and change it to a more gentle softer expression it’ll help with his bad assness 😂. I know this coming from a home of a deaf sibling. Facial expressions are a language all their own and they take on what they see, feel.
That's so interesting. Almost like "it's not what you say, but how you say it", in this instance "not how you sign it, but the way your face says it" 😅🤣
I hate the fact that you have to explain the reason you are removing them from him repeatedly. Its sad idiots shame you for being a good parent, no one should be playing or fiddling with medical equipment which is what his ears are medical equipment.
I love how well you handled this, this seemed like a tricky position to be in but you both know what to do for one another, it will still have its rollercoaster days.. even during his frustration, aswell as yours, I can tell between the eye contact you both have for one another is very strong and loving💜
Thank you so much for showing your child at his worst. Too many people on TH-cam only show the best behavior which gives them the parents major Kudoes because they’re “such perfect parents.” Folks, that’s impossible. Every child in his or her life will act out. Why? Because they’re children!
I like the way you share your feelings with him. I love how you connect with him. I think you're a great mother, doing a difficult job very well. Keep going, keep connecting :)
Being a mom is frustrating. I liked how u reminded him of the deep breaths, and he followed you. I dont think he wants to fight but he needs help calming his body so he can be his best self. I know u dont always have time for this but climbing back there to talk to him might help to and just always more deep breaths for everybody. Y’all are still learning how to live together. He obviously chose u for a reason. Ur a great Mom!
I’ve never seen sass translated into sign until you said “You can’t even hear me and you’re still yelling at me” 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, the stretched out “yeeeellling at me” was physical sass 😅
you haven't seen enough sign yet

@@InnerAtanih I don't think she is I think she was trying to stay composed for the camera
@@InnerAtanih it’s tough when you have to do the right thing and your kid hates you for it but it’s what you have to do as a parent
@@byunniq9060Not it's giving education. It's giving it's not easy but you can get through difficult times. Why do people only see negative in everything? What clout? You're logic is flawed. People may not get the purpose of these shorts, then the content is not for you. 🤷🏾♀️
the thing is Cooper is always checked on and looked after but how are you Beth? i know it must frustrating at times but you show so much patience and determination! No wonder Cooper is so head strong its because he gets it from you! i hope youre taking the time for you as well 💓
That was so sweet of you to say to her!!🥰🥰🥰
You're so patient with him. ❤ Your love is such an example of how mothers should be ❤
Thank you for showing the complexities of reality. Nothing filtered or curated. Very well done.
that "oh my god" at the end.....i felt that in my soul as a parent that's constantly going through frustrations with my kids. 😭
Me 3... My 10 year old son gets in trouble every singllllleeeeeee DAYYYYYY NO CAPP EVERY DAY. I BE READY TO WALK OUT THE HOUSE N CATCH A FLIGHT
I'm over here like "✌️ bye, i don't need these negative vibes" 🤣
Your scream at the end🥺 you seriously are so patient. I admire how consistent you are with him as well. I don't know how you do it. You're a strong momma... you CAN do this💪🏽💓 and it's okay to get frustrated!
He's so cute, it has to be so hard because they are his ears but they are so expensive that you can't just let him take them apart.. You're clearly a great mum, doing your best 🥰
You're such a good Mom helping him identify his emotions while remaining calm 😢
Omg the breathing technique was such a cute lil teaching moment. You’re doing great and keep it up momma ❤️
The “no…..stop! NO STAHP!” 😂
Maybe dont joke about that because she was very frustrated and its not really funny

You don't have to be rude or tell someone that their thoughts or opinions are wrong.
You can easily just express your differing opinion respectfully.
Be safe, be strong & remember to Love Yourself, so that you may best love others.

@@s4nd7ch33ks
I don't mean to be or sound rude. I can completely see why you would think that.
In my opinion the momma was posting this video partly to show the challenges she faces. As well as the humor in a toddler that throws tantrums just like all (or most) toddlers in the world.
Let's just say, we agree to disagree.😊
Be safe, be strong & remember to Love Yourself, so that you may best love others.
🙏💪💜
Take a deep breath mama! You did such a great job!!
He is highly intelligent! LOL! I loved when he did the breathing and calmed down, but he is so intelligent and aware. Mom, you're so patient and you work with him to help him express himself so well. Keep up the good work mom!
Kids ARE intelligent and aware. All of them.
@@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens - LMAO! Oh no! All of them are absolutely NOT intelligent and aware! One only needs to do a quick search on TH-cam or TikTok to see the countless number of kids who are cute (or semi-cute in some cases), but aren't aware or, seemingly, very intelligent!
This is golden. I’m sure these videos helps many, many people. And I’m sure you still make mistakes, every parent does, but you are doing so great. Calm and soft eventhough you’re frustrated (and maybe exhausted as well) but resolute
I'm so glad you two have each other. You're doing so well. He's so loved and cared for, and you're teaching him emotional recognition and mitigation so well. ❤
You handled it wonderfully 😊 I can tell it’s not easy on either of you but you guys worked together loved it ❤
No she didn’t!! She’s losing her shit! She cut the video off at the end! Not every thing is as it seems.. you can tell by her attitude she’s very frustrated at him!! I get it it’s hard but he doesn’t need to see that shit!! He’s a baby! You explain these things smiling and shit!
@@shalom4838 ummmmm wtf do you mean? She handled it great.
@@alyssareed3292 that is not how you deal with a little baby sweetheart. Let alone a deaf kid that doesn’t understand what going on most of the time. I mean this lady fucking forgets that her child is deaf when he’s calling for her leaving him sooo confused and alone while she’s screaming at the top of her lungs letting him know where she is because SHE FORGETS HES DEAF SOMETIMES?!! What kind of a mother is this LADY?!! That poor child! I mean I am not the only one who can see through her shit! She’s clearly using him for views too
@@shalom4838 you’re obviously not a parent if you think that’s how kids should be handled. The toddler was messing with expensive equipment and throwing a tantrum it is a normal human response to get frustrated
@@shalom4838 as a mother and a outsider who has no connection to her, I saw a frustrated mother who still took the time to explain to her child what he was doing wrong. I stated my opinion, I believe it, however you are free to think what you’d like as I am. I will hope before you judge so harshly to please watch it again.
Please tell me you do self care... The restraint in your emotions is phenomenal. Great job Beth
I know this will sound odd from a stranger, but he is the most precious little boy I have seen, and his heart is so pure. Please know your doing amazing momma and hug him for me❤️❤️
I know! His cute little face when he makes his deep breath! So precious.
God he’s just absolutely adorable I can’t😍😍
YOU are doing an amazing job. You know what's best for you and your son. DO NOT listen to the people who critique you or bully you. They have no idea how hard it is. Your doing amazing. ❤
That arm and leg flinging over the arm rest is so adorable and extra dramatic. kids are so funny sometimes😭
That deep breath was awesome. He’s gonna have to grow up a bit more to fully understand that he can either wear his ears or put them away, but they’re not toys. That’s so tough for kids his age when everything is a toy and you’re doing a great job reinforcing the lesson. Good luck on breathing deeply! Great job 👏
Great parenting, reminding him to take deep breaths. He’s going to be such a great member of society with parents like you and your husband!
Well, I'm not gunna say ur wrong, but a good amount of the killers I've been seeing in my documentaries had amazing parents and wonderful families.
@@neekieeee True, though almost always those killers had bad things happen to them, causing emotional instability despite good parenting. Those are the exception, though. You are right that sometimes bad people come from good parents, though.
@@neekieeee 🤔 Don't forget that narcissistic parents exist. Just because nobody saw the abuse doesn't mean it didn't happen. I don't think that most of these so called "perfect families" are actually perfect.
You are a wonderful Mum. He is going to be an asset to his community. ☮️🙏
Who in the world would think that you’re depriving him of hearing? Those are the people who allow their child to run the house. You obviously love the beautiful baby boy and have have cultivated such incredible patience. That’s what a loving mom does. God bless and your sweet Angel faced baby. ❤
This video. This video! Made me love you. You deserve mom of the year. Hands down. He is perfect and a toddler to boot. You handled that with grace!
I just love this kid. He is the cutest and even when he's throwing a temper tantrum I can't help but just want to give him a hug!! He reminds me so much of my own son
You must have an angel as a kid then, may God protect your son ❤
I love how you still keep a calm voice with him when he has his ears out ❤
LOVE how everything shifts when she says she is frustrated in a compassionate way like hey bud, I'm upset I need ya to notice that. THAT is how empathy is taught.
One day he’ll be big enough to understand not to destroy something so crucial, good job navigating this kinda situation so calmly all the time.
You're so incredibly patient. I really like the way you teach him about emotions 💜 ~ 🍻 He's freek'n adorable btw 🙂 Bless you guys ~
NEVER CROSSED MY MIND THT U WERE TAKING THEM FOR ANY OTHER REASON other than keeping them not broken ❤as a mom - good job. Well done. It’s hard:)
People who think she's taking them away just to be mean.. don't realize that if the toddler beaks the equipment insurance will not replace it.. they will be responsible for the full price of the DME.
Insurance companies will not replace lost stolen or broken DME..
They would either have to pay the $20,000 out of pocket.. or they would have to wait until the time insurance says it's medically necessary for them to have another set
@@SeattleSeaDragonor they know that many disabled people are treated with meanness
You’re an awesome mom, I’m glad you have cooper and that he has you ❤
The way you calm him done, and him being so receptive is quite impressive. To me it shows both your love and patience, and his trust in you!.... I used to work around very young kids and this kind of relationship is not always there between a child and a parent! You are doing an excellent job 👏😊
It is very interesting to watch this dynamic between you and your son. I feel like it’s teaching us how to communicate with our children in a different type of way. Shout out to you, mom for being calm and also explaining to your son what was going on
That smile on his face when you give him the keys to expressing his emotions!!! I used to work as a one year teacher, and toddler moments are hard to manage even with kids that don’t have his challenges. The teacher that trained me used basic ASL to give the kiddos (who have not mastered verbal communication as one years) a way of communicating. I lived for that look, the one where they felt heard and empowered! You are doing a fantastic job, he’s lucky to have such a caring mama.
It’s really nice you’re teaching him skills to calm himself. Also, living in Texas where it’s still pretty warm, I love the cozy vibes with the foggy windows and trees outside
Not the “ NOO STAWP!” And the FOOT!!!
I love the way he looks at you. Even when he is upset, complete love and trust, you are fantastic mother
The task of hearing must be very overwhelming sometimes when you weren't born that way. You handled this situation like a champion. 😊
Your so graceful with your care ❤❤
Kids 🤣 you could give him every toy to play with, he'd probably still try to play with the hearing aids instead 🤣❤️ you're such a good and patient mama ❤️
Exactly, get them a toy, theyd rather play with the package or bubble wrap that comes with them...its cute.
No need to explain why you would take his "ears" in these situations. I don't have kids, but if I did and they broke $20,000 equipment, I wouldn't be able to replace it. I'd have a meltdown. You're doing a great job!
No there is 100% a need as if it was punishment or as a consequence that would be abuse so the distinction is very very important
@@jackoh991 It is kind of a consequence, you're messing around with the expensive equipment so i'm taking it away for now.
@@katie5920 yes but it's important to explain that's why. Some parents take disability aids away as a punishment for being naughty (rather than to protect the equipment) and that is abuse. The difference is between doing the right thing for your kid vs abusing your kid so very important they explained which one it was in the video
That child is the most GORGEOUS little man. He is precious!!
You do freaking amazing. Patience is key when handling a child with a disability. I know this because all of my family members who have disabilities and are all young. I lose my cool when I really shouldn’t, but that’s just because I myself am on the Autism Spectrum. You keep being you and I promise you that this kid will grow up to be an amazing young man.
It’s good that even when he’s not looking you still sign, even if he is ignoring and yelling at you, you don’t just randomly stop speaking (signing) to him in his language, it’s nice. I see a few people just not sign and I can imagine it feels quite isolating for your parent to randomly stop “speaking” to you in your language when addressing a camera. It’s also good practise!
He has the biggest personality 🥰🥰🥰
Literally the most adorable little toddler I've ever seen. The curly hair is so cute 🥰
You are an amazing mom!!! Didn’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise! You guys are doing all the best things for your adorable sweet boy!! Thank you for sharing life w us!!💜💜💜 You’re break at the end made me cry and I felt I just needed to make sure you heard how wonderful you are!!!💜
What an amazing mama. He’s lucky to have someone so patient and tactful like you. ❤
He has the cutest little nose and its complamented by his glasses so well
You did amazingly, that was incredible work ESPECIALLY with a toddler, let alone one who can’t even hear you
watching you and Coop’s journey has filled my heart with joy, please never give up ❤
He's pretty damn chill compared to the 2.5 to 3 year olds I've dealt with. I was a teacher at a preschool and lowdy, lowdy have mercy on my soul I wanted to exorcize some of those kids... Yours seems pretty in control. Especially compared to the beasts I slayed.
You should know as a preschool teacher that it has almost everything to do with parenting.
You are doing a freaking phenomenal job navigating so many of us have never experienced.
What a wonderful mom you are! Handled wonderfully 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
When your so angry your hands don’t express it and you gotta point with your foot as well
This kid is adorable
I’m impatient 24 hours a day, but I couldn’t give up on him either. ❤
Omg he looks like a sad Chicken Little sitting back there 🤣 You're such a good mama 💗
Such an amazing mom. As hard as it is you both listen to one another. Stay strong and keep calm. Parenting isn’t easy but so well worth it!!👍🌸🙏💪
Absolutely phenomenal!!! You are doing AMAZING Mama! This is everything, you are rocking parenting, and educating.
MOM,
YOU ARE NOT ONLY TEACHING YOUR SON, THAT IS DEALING WITH SPECIAL CHALLENGES ...
BUT,
YOU ARE ALSO TEACHING EVERYONE THAT SEE'S YOUR AMAZING VIDEO'S...
HOW TO HELP THOSE THAT SUFFER FROM HARD CHALLENGES !!!
YOU ARE AN AMAZING TEACHER ...
TO SO MANY
PEOPLE OUT HERE !!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR
YOUR HARD EARNED GIFT ...
YOU ARE SO MUCH APPRECIATED !!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🙃😁😅🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰
I know how this is. My daughter was trying to tell me she wanted something earlier and I couldn't understand and she just got so upset she almost cried and I was like im sorry baby :( . Even though she's been wearing her hearing aids forever she still has trouble with speech . in a way im still in shock but I realize how bad my daughters disability is now. Like when other kids who are 2 can sit there and sing nursery rhymes and you realize your daughter is just now able to almost sing like that and is talking more only because she's going to a school for the deaf, it hits hard 😢💔 sorry im rambling a bit even if no one sees this lol
She’ll get there❤❤
I’m so sorry. I can’t really relate to what you’re going through with your daughter as I’m only 15, but I can imagine the pain you are going through as a mother trying to do the best for her kid. I really wish the best for you and your daughter and keep your faith in her. You can do this!❤
❤️🙏🏾 may God give you grace and strengthen you
As a single momma of a son with autism (though I know being deaf is a whole different realm of struggles) I can relate on such a deep level. The meltdowns we mommas have, feeling like we aren’t enough and feeling guilty for said meltdowns knowing your little one deserves the world but feeling inadequate. Maybe it’s just me but I say all that to say, I can 100% relate with the frustration but I’m so impressed with the patience you show with your beautiful boy. You can tell you’re such a loving mama and it’s such a draining position to be in sometimes especially when you’re in a rush or in desperate need of some “me time”. But you’re doing great! Thank you for sharing your candid videos
You are an incredible mom!! Thank You for sharing this with us!! 💙💙
God bless you for how you allow him to express his emotions, while communicating and defusing the situation. I don’t even know if I used the right words, but this makes me wish I could do things over. I definitely have emotional immaturity issues, from generational trauma.
They are your ears, Give em to Mom!
Him: NO!
😆 I love him so much!
when you had to take them off to charge them, I was wondering why not get another set... $20K ..never even considered how much it costs...Dear god, how ignorant can I be.
Throwing the bare foot over to REALLY get his point across. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Momma, you are teaching parents with your videos. Your emotions are valid. Peace & Blessings. 💜💜💜
Throwing the foot actually confirms he's having a tantrum and she needs to tell him the behaviors he doing are not acceptable. Not once did she tell him to stop shouting. He knew he was yelling and will continue to do it till she refuses to accept it. Others may look away and accept from a 2 year old but not a 4 year old. Even children with hearing loss need to be taught acceptable behavior. She needs to film corrections occurring better than this. He says, "now go home" sounds like he got his way!!!!!😢
I’m sorry mom but it’s ok to get frustrated. You’re doing an amazing job with teaching him about behavior & communicating with patience.
He’s so darn cute.💕💯
Thank you. Iam learning and teaching my 2yr old ASL and you're videos make it so much easier for me to process and remember than all the apps I have tried. My toddler isn't hearing impaired, I just think ASL is something we should all learn. It also helps for those times she's housing big feelings she can't pronounce yet. I guess what I'm trying to say is my family appreciates your's.I know at times we second guess ourselves as parents but you are doing amazing and we love y'all.
Did you guys dress up for Halloween? I’d love to see what cute costume Cooper was in ❤
20,000? Woah that’s a lot I see why you don’t want him playing with it lol
This is obviously one of the toughest parenting circumstances ever, but just some stranger perceptions; because he can’t hear facial expressions is one of his understood languages. If you try to control your facial annoyance (totally understandable) and exhaustion and change it to a more gentle softer expression it’ll help with his bad assness 😂. I know this coming from a home of a deaf sibling. Facial expressions are a language all their own and they take on what they see, feel.
That's so interesting. Almost like "it's not what you say, but how you say it", in this instance "not how you sign it, but the way your face says it" 😅🤣
You are such a good Momma 💙💜 You always explain and are so compassionate even when you are frustrated. You are doing great!!
I hate the fact that you have to explain the reason you are removing them from him repeatedly. Its sad idiots shame you for being a good parent, no one should be playing or fiddling with medical equipment which is what his ears are medical equipment.
You're an incredible mother!!!
I love how well you handled this, this seemed like a tricky position to be in but you both know what to do for one another, it will still have its rollercoaster days.. even during his frustration, aswell as yours, I can tell between the eye contact you both have for one another is very strong and loving💜
You are a great example of good parenting. You are strong and good with dealing with complex problems.
Thank you so much for showing your child at his worst. Too many people on TH-cam only show the best behavior which gives them the parents major Kudoes because they’re “such perfect parents.” Folks, that’s impossible. Every child in his or her life will act out. Why? Because they’re children!
"the drama! 💅" i love this channel 😂
You’re an amazing mom! The patience and love you show when trying to help him learn ways to calm down….. Great Job Mom!!
You are killing being a great and patient mom!
You are amazing. And he is adorable!!
I like the way you share your feelings with him. I love how you connect with him. I think you're a great mother, doing a difficult job very well. Keep going, keep connecting :)
Being a mom is frustrating. I liked how u reminded him of the deep breaths, and he followed you. I dont think he wants to fight but he needs help calming his body so he can be his best self. I know u dont always have time for this but climbing back there to talk to him might help to and just always more deep breaths for everybody. Y’all are still learning how to live together. He obviously chose u for a reason. Ur a great Mom!
