I’m so happy to see your videos again. Even though I am not a parent I think you give wonderful and sound advice. I am a retired childcare provider. I worked in both a daycare setting and as a private nanny. When it was time for the kids to clean up the toys I would give them a warning & say when the timer goes off we need to pick up the toys. Then I would sing the Barney cleanup song to motivate them. I was a nanny for my niece who is now 26. She had a play date one day when she was about three years old. She was not being very nice to her friend. So I told her if she wasn’t nice to her friend, her friend would leave. I also told her she wouldn’t be able to watch Scooby-Doo that was one of her favorite shows. If she continued to act that way. Because she was really smart for her age she looked at me and said that’s OK. I don’t like Scooby Doo. Anymore so I told her she would get a time out. That helped a lot.
Thank you so much for the kinds words. I know you have a lot of experience and I treasure that. I do want to say that I teach consequences should always relate to the behavior. I'm not sure the taking away a TV show for bad behavior with a friend would necessarily qualify. The warning timer and clean up song... wonderful! Appropriate time out makes sense because it removes her from interaction with others when she treats others badly. I'm sending you a video I made about appropriate consequences and I'd love to see a comment about that one if you don't mind. th-cam.com/video/c_N51jiABNo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rz1EVph1dQ_BDHzu
Your videos are the best. So clear, so helpful, I just needed these to help me navigate motherhood and parenting in a much gentler way. Thank you so much for all your tips and advice. Please know you are making a difference.
@@MommyAnswerLadythank you very much for all your videos, you saved my family really thank you my toddler is someone else now and I love spending time with him, he even covers his own mouth if he sees my coming closer to cover it for him! I have a question regarding what to do when I tell him to stop doing sth and he would laugh and not comply (like when changing his diaper he would laugh and kick, I told him in a firm tone it's not acceptable and he started crying) And when I was playing with his sister after playing with him he wanted to sit in my lap and tried to hinder me playing with his sister... Told him several times that's he needs to sit beside me and stop moving but he kept laughing and trying to sit in my lap while I kept pushing him away... I feel he is too young to understand consequences(2.5 years old) and I don't have any that suits him... Do you have any suggestion? My 5 years old struggles with drinking medicine we somtimes have to spend half an hour talking to her so should would take it. She gets sick a lot and so once a month she needs to take an antibiotic (liquid form) and it's a struggle.
@@MommyAnswerLadynever mind, I used your advice from another video and now she takes her medicine with no fussing at all... Thank you from the bottom of my heart you seriously saved my household and my relationship with my kids and my sanity... When I heard you have 9 children I was so shocked but now after using your parenting ways I honestly want more kids
@@Hafoos483 That is a fine endorsement and I appreciate it so much! More children is a good thing. I hope you are successful in achieving a large family full of happiness and love!
Sometimes when I tell my 5 years old to pick up her toys she would through herself on the flood and she would say that's she's tooooooo tired What to do? Sometimes when I call for her she would not respond, she would be hiding (playing hide and seek with me) and that's frustrating
@@3kboom Well that only means she is a very smart woman with a lot of great ideas! It’s also very similar to another video I did a few years ago talking about my cat Boris. Same concepts! 👍🏻 Here’s one from longer ago! th-cam.com/video/uXs2347W-AU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=k90nT1rmP8sAerau And here’s another. th-cam.com/video/RlAPpGk4cgE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sxI7YmVnfL2Kq39B And here’s another th-cam.com/video/d6WxapOt2FI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ki03pDnB_wkVWKUm These concepts have been done many times over. If anyone gives similar advice--YAY!!! Awesome! More parents will know what’s up. The more the merrier I say. 😊💕 Thanks for the comment!

Nice video… I learned a lot. You are great!!!
The habit I see in many parents is to add an “okay?” at the end of every request. The child honestly thinks the request is a question!

What an encouraging message! ❤️Thank you so much for the kind words. 😊 I’m so glad the content is helpful to you!
Can you please make a video about giving medicine?
@@Hafoos483
What specifically about giving meds do you mean?

What to do?

Is she defying your instructions? What is the answer to an appropriate response when a child willfully disobeys?
This video is slmost an exact copy of a video from 3 years ago by Emma Hubbard called “This mistake teaches your todfler to ignore you”…
Low blow
