My gosh this was such a breath of fresh air to see how down to reality you are and relatible. It seems like people want to bubble wrap their children to keep them from ever getting hurt but theyre doing more damage. I love how real you kept every topic and were not shaken by the nay sayers. You handled every counter argument with grace and truth. Not everyone has the privilege to live in an area where everyone will coddle your child the way that you do, thats not reality, most need to raise survivors for the environments that they're in. Unless you intend to keep your adult child in a bubble for the rest of their life you better pop that bubble now and let them know they are loved but the world does not revolve around them and they need to buck up for the ride! Id rather be a resilient than fragile. ❤ keep spreading your message!
This discussion brought a thought to mind. I think perhaps a generation raised to "stand up to authority" as a blanket statement rather than with the nuance you've shared here is exactly why we now have a whole group of adults rebelling against any and all authority, demanding unrealistic and, frankly, ridiculous things, refusing to accept or obey even the most basic and common sense laws and societal norms in the name of individuality, independence, and "sticking it to the man". And perhaps it also contributes to the idea that everything and anything is racist, sexist, misogynistic, or some kind of phobic. When everyone refuses to "bow" to any kind of autority, good or bad, the world goes mad. It leads to chaos, which is what we're seeing in our current society. Love your perspectives, Avital! And I find it so refreshing that you're also able and willing to evaluate and adjust your approach to life as you learn more and grow as a person. Such a healthy way of being!! Kudos 👏
THANK YOU! for making these videos, somebody has got to say whats real! My dad is one of the ones you're talking about, they're real, and good and kind and strong and we need more of them.
Another thought trail in regards to the self esteem discussion.... The thought occured to me that, as humans, we were created and designed to live in community. Living in community means caring for each other. In a healthy community, each individual will be loving, caring for, protecting, etc the other members of that community. That ALSO means that in healthy community, each individual will not need to be self focused to have their needs met because everyone will be meeting each others needs. That necessarily means that self love, at its core, is actually only needed in dysfunctional, unhealthy, and disordered communities. So actively choosing to be self focused and "take care of number 1" and all of that, when you really think about it, is insane! Why would a person want to intentionally choose a disordered way of thinking and living?! If everyone becomes self focused, we lose community. When we lose community, we become depressed and isolated. However, when we intentionally focus outward everyone has their needs met, strengthening community, and, thereby, strengthening each individual who is a member of that community. Hope that all makes sense!!
Wow this discussion did bring your points across very clearly! I am impressed by how you can pinpoint the gist of your message whilst differentiate if necessary. Just as with "good and bad authority and power" - i would have not been able to address this so clearly and with clear examples. Thanks a lot. It helps me to look at it this way. I am one of those people living in a free western culture who felt that "the over-focus on masculinity in girls and the feminine side in men" was missing something - so your videos hit home for me. As you said, the character building I find equally important in both sexes obviously, without minimizing the natural feminie side in girls and natural masculine one in boys though if they so feel and desire. ❤
How can I prevent my toddler from becoming addicted to screens? We have TVs in our living room and bedroom, and his parents watch TV. I’m also concerned about TH-cam and tablet use. He’s only 3 months old now, but I want to set healthy habits early.
There's zero reasons to give a child any screen time until much, much later - it's entirely in your control. You can keep the TV off and covered during his waking hours so it's not part of his life. You never have to give him a tablet - it's up to YOU when you do that... my children (ages 4-13) watch TV once per week for 1.5 hours... they don't have smart phones or tablets until their teen years and even then with very heavy restrictions and parental controls It's all entirely up to us parents! :)
SELF ESTEEM IS NOT GIVEN, IT'S EARNED!!!

THE OPPOSITE OF HATING OURSELF IS NOT SELF-LOVE, IT'S NOT THINKING OF MYSELF AT ALL!!!

I could listen to your videos all day ❤ you're so wise and likeable! X

You're brilliant. I've learned a lot about being a father from your channel.
I completely agree with you in every way!
