Hey!. Just here to remind you that no matter what anyone says, you and everyone else with Dwarfism are worth the same as everyone without dwarfism. So never let anyone tell you otherwise!. May you and everyone you love have a lovely life!.
The line “Your brain is just a little different, and that’s ok” just made me cry. I don’t have ADHD, but I was diagnosed this year with ASD (Autism) and as much as I’ve been telling myself it’s alright, that I’m fine with it, there’s a little part inside of me that always remind me that I will never fully fit into society standards, no matter how hard I try to. Thank you for your hard work, I hope to buy the book soon ❤️
Please never try to fit in. Your differences are what make you special. You are exactly who you were meant to be so own it and know you are much, much more than a diagnosis. ❤ I wish you a beautiful life that one day you will look back on and see how truly blessed you are.
Well You would fit in with OUR family. We have members of the Add group...but we ARE just fine. We lived and grew THRU ot all 0:26and yesssss. My boys are very inteligente and thats makes people stand OUT too. I just smile and KNOW i have 2 sons that i am VERY PROUD OF. VERY INTELLIGENT AND ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION ANYONE WOULD KNOW TO ASK!!!! IM PROUD OF THAT!!!
I would always say this to my son's teachers. Even as teachers they could not understand. I had to tell them that everyone's wired a little bit differently.
I can see this book becoming a big movie especially since it’s based on a true story Everyone should know we are all humans with souls blood and heart we are all the same no matter what color race or height weight We are all beautiful the way god made us !!
That would be cool because popular movies can raise awareness, and people have a LOT of misconceptions and confusions about dwarfism and just genetics in families in general. Having am actual movie go out to the world based around the facts and someone's reality in that regard, can teach people so much, especially kids as that can be their exposure to people who are different from them, instead of exposure to misinformation and negativity.
I watched the shorts as they came out and enjoyed them. But seeing them all together as a complete story is so beautiful. Good job Peet. Such a wonderful tribute to your family. ❤️
I really enjoyed the video. I had a sister with cyclic fibrosis and other birth defects. She was very short. She was 4.5 years older but I was taller than her by 1st grade. I deeply connect to your story. Brought me to tears with a mix of memories. My parents split up too. I have crippling ADHD as well. It is so good to see an ADHD person succeeding. I am 50, diagnosed at 30. My kids are 12 and 7. They were diagnosed at 6. With my help they will succeed in areas I was held back by my undiagnosed ADHD. I subscribed and watch the advertisements. I hope to buy your book when I have extra $ to support your work. ADHD is a superpower when channeled correctly. ❤
Not many people can say that they grew up as the only average height person in a family of dwarves! Peet sure did a great job at bringing his story to life in this video!
Not gonna cry, not gonna cry. Peet, that was a wonderful story. Some parts felt like a Dr Seuss. That's high praise! 🎉🎉🎉 You are a wonderful person we need more like you!
I am tearing up. Am I going crazy? I mean there is nothing truly sad here. It's just a beautiful soul saying a beautiful story about adapting to the life growing up different. You make a great story teller. I loved the story and I hope to see more of this. Take care!
Haha last night I was at my 7 yr olds sing along with the entire 1st grade and it's a happy and adorable little production and I was not even close enough to get a good look at my girl but I swear I was trying not to cry and I was like I have done lost my freaking mind. Lol I'm bitting my lips and all the people that are watching are singing and laughing and dancing with the rest of the kids. Such a strange reaction, I guess I was just so proud of her
Peet congratulations on a wonderful enjoyable teaching story. I'm 57 and I still remember my favorite books and stories from my childhood and my kids the same. I read to my kids every night until they were old enough to read to me ( my dad used to read to me every night too ). The love and appreciation of reading and the value of a tangible book is immeasurable in my life. Thank you Peet for sharing your life with us. So many amazing and interesting ( and hilarious) " layers" to your charming personality. 💜😁
I accidentally came here but stayed till the end, your story is really inspiring and your family is really heart warming 😊 and yeah you're really different being a springs sunshine spreading happiness to the world through your content.....I Appreciate that🙂(don't mind my mistake I'm not a native English speaker)
Ur not that bad at English, I think ur good at it! plus u will always get better, even I haven't learned all of Englishes mysteries!😁 (Glad u stayed to watch the video too)
As someone who grew up in a "different" family, your book really touched me, and I will be buying it when I get the money ❤ I know exactly how you felt growing up, I was much the same way. My family and I are disabled, and I was singled out for it a lot, as well as not being part of the church the neighborhood was in. I wished I could fit in so bad, and wondered why I had to different, until I realized that their opinions didn't matter, and my differences gave me strengths. So yeah, I loved your book so much, and I hope you and your family stay well and happy :)
Peet your no different from your family love and heart of the soul is what u have. Height is at ur advantage but your family can reach down and pick items for u so work together and u all succeed. Your family are proud of you for writing this wee book. Hope u and your family have a good Christmas and a happy new year.
Congradulations with the book peet ,i love you're vlogs and shorts and family . Merry christmas from the netherlands. lots of love and a great 2023 for you're whole family
This video touch my soul! This video should be played in EVERY school! The same with your book, it should be EVERYWERE!! Your family is SO beautiful and so warm. Thank you for being who you are and for sharing your family with us ❤
Bought this book as soon as I was aware of its release, and gave it to my toddler (who just turned 2) for Christmas. I’ve read it to him, and played this video. Tonight when I asked him if he wanted to read he asked for what he called the “mommy daddy” book and pulled yours off his dresser. He loves it, and so do I. Thank you for sharing Peet. We love you and your family ❤
I’m a writer and an actress and you moved me to tears with your wonderful book. I loved the video; your voice is so mellow and soothing. Through following you on Instagram, I have grown very fond of you and your beautiful family. Your Mom is just fabulous. She should get a role in a Hollywood movie. You project such a beautiful light that I know will keep shining on your path toward new exciting projects. Thank you for your generosity with sharing your videos and your life story through your book with us. You are an amazing guy! ❤😘
This was beautifully written! I’m literally crying. You’re one of my favorite TH-camrs and I love how incredibly strong your relation with your mom is.
Well done, Peet! No dry eyes here. That was beautiful. Your momma must be so proud! And shout out to your brother for choosing teaching as a profession.
Peet you are a musician, great son and brother, you are also a great writer and storyteller, never change you are perfect just the way you are. Beautiful story❤beautiful family.❤
Man Big Respect for the mother who loved you no matter what the differences you had, no matter what she and you guys had to go through. So Happy to see such a great video ❤
The part about your dad leaving after a divorce and marrying another person hit so close to home for me, I have tears in my eyes. My own dad moved to another state 1000 miles from us (give or take) and the person he married was extremely verbally/mentally abusive to my brother and I. I haven't spoken to my dad since quarentine started in 2020, and it hurts so bad, but I'm not ready to talk to him cuz it just brings up all the pain again and we have radically different views. On top of that, I was diagnosed with AD (Asperger's) just as I was hitting puberty age (around 12) and while knowing helped, it also made life harder. I hope to one day have the same amount of positivity as you but honestly idk how to achieve that. Thank you for sharing you and your family's story with us and sorry for getting so personal.
How old are you? Very important to not get involved with parents' relationship issues... Focus on education and stay in touch with your dad and your mom regarding your plans for the future... It will change your life respect them as much as you can while focusing on your life
@@Amandaaaaaa123 I'm 23, and unfortunately I was the relationship issues. My dad's second wife I'm convinced tried to turn us against our mother and so I got into the thick of it. I'm doing as well as I can be, I have a therapist and medication to help with my depression/anxiety.
Being neurodivergent can be rough. I was pushed into the 'normal' mold until I was all bent outta shape with sharp bits sticking out. Still trying to fight against that, from how I was warped against what my brain was like. It can definitely be hard, but I'm glad you're receiving proper help, that's good! 😁 I hope you can find ways to turn those sometimes-difficult quirks into something you can use moving forward (: no need to be sorry, it's part of who you are and that's okay.
I have Asperger’s too! I was diagnosed just a few months ago (25) and I wish I had been diagnosed earlier. I could have more of my life on track, sooner.
@@everettfillmore oh yikes! I was diagnosed at 12 and that's pretty late, but I can't imagine going 25 years with no idea why I'm different. Glad you got your diagnosis and I hope you're able to better understand yourself going forward.
I watched it beginning to end, from the first chapter to the last, I was shedding tears. The gentle narration just slapped along with the story and moments and feelings that happened in your life. As I said before, Little Imperfections is a masterpiece and a perfect story. 😭😭😭👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💗💗💗💖💖💖💝💝💝💕💕💕💯🎯
My daughter loved it when she saw this video she was like mama when can I get my book she likes watching your videos ❤❤ lots of blessings to you and your family you are doing good keep up the good work.
Dear Peet, thank you for this beautiful poem of light and truth. It made me feel better today. Thank you for your rawness and bravery - you're admirable.
Peet I absolutely love your book!! And you reading it just melted my heart. I love you and your amazing family - especially your mom! You are all so wonderful. Thank you for sharing your story and your world with us. All the best to you and your family - a very Happy New Year!! 💗🌠
Hey, I just wanted to say that this was really inspiring. I also had trouble focusing in school, and I was also told I had anxiety and ADHD. Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night crying and shaking, and I despised car trips because they were windy and I was scared of my brother getting carsick. I also love music, and I play trombone and piano too. I love sports but people always chose me last for teams and underestimated me because I was a girl. I guess that separated me from some people, but I realized that we are all different and seeing this made me feel better to be different. I know I didn’t grow up with a small family or things even close to you’re troubles, but I can understand how being different makes us who we are. P.S you should make this a movie!
I actually ended up doing a school project on an actor named Peter Dinklage, he’s famous for Game of Thrones and he has dwarfism and I learned that people like him go through so much in their lives. I love this video I think it spreads a very good message to people! ❤
I absolutely love this story so much and I can defiantly relate to it!!! While you had ADHD I have an IEP that made it so much harder to understand school and while I have my own ways of understanding it now thank you for shedding light onto this As you say it’s the little imperfections that add up to you💕
@A BlahDay Speaking as an adhd having high-school dropout who was "helped" too late and still feels like an idiot even in adulthood, the IEP doesn't help what some kids are ACTUALLY struggling with. Extended time and extra help on school work is great, but what a lot of people really need is someone to listen to them and get to the root of what is wrong. I was in 9th grade for 4 years (not a bad student, I just didn't understand things easily like other students, and thought I was an imbecile for it), and during those years, I was extremely depressed, and I cannot stress to you enough how problematic teachers can be. Teachers will tear your kid down worse than anyone else, some time without even realizing it. I'd highly suggest having a serious talk with them about how school is going, because there's more than likely things you don't know. I'm still recovering from school.. I still hear the cruel things my teacher's have said to me.. whether they were said out of frustration or not.. no-one negatively impacts how you feel about your own intelligence quite like a teacher.. and parents, but that's a whole different story. All of this to say, I hope the IEP does work for your kid, but please try and be patient with them if it doesn't.
@@maddyrose80 Thank you for replying. Sounds a lot like what my child is going through,unfortunately. All I know is we love him and will continue to fight for him. Also, I'm sorry you have ever been made to feel badly about yourself. 💜
@@ablahday2558 Thank you so much, and I truly do hope your son gets the help he needs. It's very important to remind him that he's not dumb, stupid, or incompetent in any way. Some people just learn differently, and that's totally okay. All the best to you!
I don't know what behavior I had but I had an IEP too and my school life style was rough I didn't need to be in life skills but should have been in learning support. By halfway in my 10th grade I got into learning support.
I really enjoyed the video. I had a sister with cyclic fibrosis and other birth defects. She was very short. She was 4.5 years older but I was taller than her by 1st grade. I deeply connect to your story. Brought me to tears with a mix of memories. My parents split up too. I have crippling ADHD as well. It is so good to see an ADHD person succeeding. I am 50, diagnosed at 30. My kids are 12 and 7. They were diagnosed at 6. With my help they will succeed in areas I was held back by my undiagnosed ADHD. I subscribed and watch the advertisements. I hope to buy your book when I have extra $ to support your work. ADHD is a superpower when channeled correctly. ❤
Peet, That is the sweetest story I have heard in a long time. Seeing you do things in your place on your own like putting the shower head low and the coffee mugs in the bottom cupboards made me "Aweee" & then I just started crying. ❤ Thanks for sharing this with us. *hug*
This is so precious. I love it! My girls will love this book. To help them understand that no matter what, we're all human, and we should treat each other as we would like to be treated. You did an amazing job on this! Hope to see more from your Peet
You helped me overcome my fears of being left out. I always thought I was different from the kids at the playground but you made me realise that it’s okay to be different
I love that in the beginning, they had Peet solving the Rubik's Cube and at the end they had the solved cube on their desk, along with a ton of other awards and achievements!
This was absolutely beautiful. I'm so happy for you, Peet! Thank you for sharing your heart and story with the world. This truly will bless so many people, I know it.
You know Peet.. my metal health hasn't been the best and since I'm Deaf with Hearing Aids I've felt left out but after hearing this.. it makes me feel like someone understands me. I really appreciate you taking your time just to make a story for us people. No one is a misfit everyone is included! But after hearing this wonderful story it makes me feel happier and... different :) Thanks Peet!
Your story makes me cry. All families are different. I’m adopted, I know my biological siblings, but we’re all in different families and my parents split when I was 4. And I grew up feeling like I had no family when my friends talked about theirs but as I got older I realised being adopted is part of who I am and I’m proud to make a family happy, I gave them a child and most importantly they gave me a home and a loving family. I always wondered why I couldn’t speak how I felt so I’d just cry until I was much older and found out I actually have a learning disability, they couldn’t diagnose me with one because I have symptoms of some like autism, adhd, dyslexia (reading side also known as visual stress), im not as fast at learning certain things and I have social anxiety, grew up bullied and even now and again I still get people who bully me, but I’ve learned to be strong and try and push through it even though it’s so hard to accept who I am sometimes, but watching your videos make me realised that it’s ok if you’re not like the other kids because everyone is special in their own way
Great storybook and the drawing art work is absolutely adorable! Next, perhaps a TV cartoon series?! Your family and especially your mom is adorable. She works so hard and has great humour and love.
Pete, I don't know if you will see this, but i wanted to say thak you for such a beautiful and meaningful story. I'm a single mom of two, my oldest has autism and absolutely loves books. And even though your story is about dwarfism, it's also about family, love, feeling like you don't fit in, about separation, overcoming obstacles and that we are all a little different and that's what makes us unique. I'm buying your book to read to my children and use it as another way to connect with them and for them to connect to everyone else. Even though it's in english and portuguese is our native language, i will translate it to them everytime they want to read it. So thank you, Peet, for making our lives a little brighter, even with our little imperfections...
Your words in the book were really lovely and delicate. They showed how you became who you are today by embracing your differences and understanding that the daily struggles your family faced were very much akin to the daily struggles that many families face.
This made me cry. Remembering my childhood with the sounds of my brothers hospital bed it was the only way I could fall asleep even in adulthood I had to buy a air filter because the sound reminded me of him. This touched me so deep.
You, your family and your book are AWESOME! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your story, it made me cry and that doesn't happen often. God bless all of you, keep up the great work!
You were obviously the “different” one in the family. But the one thing that was always the same was…. Love. That’s what I felt watching this video. Thank you for sharing your life and family with us. You’re making the best of what life gave you and that is truly admirable!
This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It gave me so much hope. Lately I’ve been wanting to have “normal things” like everyone else does but I just can’t right now. But maybe these struggles are building me to have the life I was meant to have instead of just being a struggle.
What a wonderful book and beautifully written! It highlights everything about being different in all the best ways, and shows that even if we're all different in many ways they all add up to make us who we are! Hearing about your personal experiences growing up different was wonderful and brought tears to my eyes near the end, but they were happy ones. Thank you for writing this, and thanks to all who worked to bring this story to many people!!
What a beautifully told story, made even more powerful by the fact that it’s based on your real life. It’s a good thing I knew it had a happy ending as you took us on that emotional roller coaster of a journey. Please keep sharing your light with the world! And tell your momma she did a dang fine job.
You have an amazing mother and siblings my dude. Nobody’s perfect, but they seem real down to earth and like they have good seneses of humor. Sometimes that’s all you need.
I love this story so much, I showed it to my brother who was born with a cleft lip and palate, has multiple allergies and has Dyslexia and Dyspraxia and he really appreciated it. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
The success you have is well earned. I received your book in the mail today. I originally bought it for my grandchildren, because they are young and impressionable. I thought that this would be a great way to teach them about inclusiveness. Also, my 3 year old grandson has a disability which will challenge him for the rest of his life. I’m hopeful that this book will remain in our family for years to come when he’s old enough to understand. Lastly, I thought to myself about how odd it was to feel proud of a person that I have never met. Your family is special. I don’t mean their size, I mean their spirit. Congratulations on your success. I wish you and yours continued blessings.
My little sister was so fascinated by this and thought it is so cool that u were growing up like this,even thought it was hard,she loves that your childhood home is filled with tiny things i think its pretty cool too.....Love u guys!
Thank you so much peet for reminder that we are beautiful just the way we are and little imperfections are part when we grow up this tale is so motivational and inspirational 💕🦋
I purchased your book, and my son and I have read it several times during our 20 minutes of daily reading. My son also has ADHD, and I love that you put that about yourself in the book. He’s been doing really well on his new meds, and we have been working hard to get caught up. I’m so proud of him. Thank you for this awesome book, and I am so very proud of you. ❤
i...cried. I don't cry a lot. Sometimes, but this was just... amazing. it's so amazing to see what people go through, that makes them them. this was just so amazing. I'm so sorry you had to live, feeling like this growing up. that's awful. i'm glad you have a good relationship with your mother and siblings, though. that's always good, having people who know you, and can be there for you. this is a sad but inspiring story. stay awesome Peet ❤❤
Thanks Pete I know this book was to kids but seeing your mom struggle and you as well made me feel better about being a furry mom my pittie and I have been struggling and with him being 6 months old ,teething, and everyone telling me I'm not a good mom and that my illnesses would prevent me to be a good one this helped me alot thank you I know I'm struggling but he makes everyday worth it
Peet this series is absolutely amazing! Your story is so inspiring! And your videos bring joy to us everyday! Your blessed with your family! Awesome book!
This was the most beautiful story I've listened to. I'm so grateful for your sharing of your life. It has opened my eyes to a lot of things. My sons also have adhd, as a parent it can oftentimes be very frustrating and stressful when kids do stuff to push your buttons and all the ups and downs. I have to forgive my kids just as much as I need forgiveness. We don't come with instructions as people, we can only do our best and hope to learn from our mistakes to be better next time. That's where unconditional love comes in. It gives you patience and do overs without judgment. Keep being yourself and always return the love in more ways than one.
The whole time my eyes were full of tears ...Idk how to express my feelings....literally heart touching ❤ Hope one day everyone will realize that there is perfection in imperfections ❤❤

I can see this book becoming a big movie especially since it’s based on a true story
Everyone should know we are all humans with souls blood and heart we are all the same
no matter what color race or height weight
We are all beautiful the way god made us !!
That would be cool because popular movies can raise awareness, and people have a LOT of misconceptions and confusions about dwarfism and just genetics in families in general. Having am actual movie go out to the world based around the facts and someone's reality in that regard, can teach people so much, especially kids as that can be their exposure to people who are different from them, instead of exposure to misinformation and negativity.
I'm thinking Pixar.
There's already a film like this.
This IS the movie

Passing the Kleenex. Me too!! 🥲
Bought this book as soon as I was aware of its release, and gave it to my toddler (who just turned 2) for Christmas. I’ve read it to him, and played this video. Tonight when I asked him if he wanted to read he asked for what he called the “mommy daddy” book and pulled yours off his dresser. He loves it, and so do I. Thank you for sharing Peet. We love you and your family ❤
Wow
I’m crying 😭 « you don’t have to be perfect to be beautiful »!
I hope this book is in every public library. What a beautiful story.
I’m a writer and an actress and you moved me to tears with your wonderful book. I loved the video; your voice is so mellow and soothing. Through following you on Instagram, I have grown very fond of you and your beautiful family. Your Mom is just fabulous. She should get a role in a Hollywood movie. You project such a beautiful light that I know will keep shining on your path toward new exciting projects. Thank you for your generosity with sharing your videos and your life story through your book with us. You are an amazing guy! ❤😘

The part about your dad leaving after a divorce and marrying another person hit so close to home for me, I have tears in my eyes. My own dad moved to another state 1000 miles from us (give or take) and the person he married was extremely verbally/mentally abusive to my brother and I. I haven't spoken to my dad since quarentine started in 2020, and it hurts so bad, but I'm not ready to talk to him cuz it just brings up all the pain again and we have radically different views. On top of that, I was diagnosed with AD (Asperger's) just as I was hitting puberty age (around 12) and while knowing helped, it also made life harder. I hope to one day have the same amount of positivity as you but honestly idk how to achieve that. Thank you for sharing you and your family's story with us and sorry for getting so personal.
How old are you? Very important to not get involved with parents' relationship issues... Focus on education and stay in touch with your dad and your mom regarding your plans for the future... It will change your life respect them as much as you can while focusing on your life
@@Amandaaaaaa123 I'm 23, and unfortunately I was the relationship issues. My dad's second wife I'm convinced tried to turn us against our mother and so I got into the thick of it. I'm doing as well as I can be, I have a therapist and medication to help with my depression/anxiety.
Being neurodivergent can be rough. I was pushed into the 'normal' mold until I was all bent outta shape with sharp bits sticking out. Still trying to fight against that, from how I was warped against what my brain was like. It can definitely be hard, but I'm glad you're receiving proper help, that's good! 😁 I hope you can find ways to turn those sometimes-difficult quirks into something you can use moving forward (: no need to be sorry, it's part of who you are and that's okay.
I have Asperger’s too! I was diagnosed just a few months ago (25) and I wish I had been diagnosed earlier. I could have more of my life on track, sooner.
@@everettfillmore oh yikes! I was diagnosed at 12 and that's pretty late, but I can't imagine going 25 years with no idea why I'm different. Glad you got your diagnosis and I hope you're able to better understand yourself going forward.
I'm crying😭
it's true growing up different is hard but..we should always be kind and nice each other
I watched it beginning to end, from the first chapter to the last, I was shedding tears. The gentle narration just slapped along with the story and moments and feelings that happened in your life. As I said before, Little Imperfections is a masterpiece and a perfect story. 😭😭😭👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💗💗💗💖💖💖💝💝💝💕💕💕💯🎯
My daughter loved it when she saw this video she was like mama when can I get my book she likes watching your videos ❤❤ lots of blessings to you and your family you are doing good keep up the good work.
Dear Peet, thank you for this beautiful poem of light and truth. It made me feel better today. Thank you for your rawness and bravery - you're admirable.
❤❤❤
Peet I absolutely love your book!! And you reading it just melted my heart. I love you and your amazing family - especially your mom! You are all so wonderful. Thank you for sharing your story and your world with us. All the best to you and your family - a very Happy New Year!! 💗🌠
Hey, I just wanted to say that this was really inspiring. I also had trouble focusing in school, and I was also told I had anxiety and ADHD. Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night crying and shaking, and I despised car trips because they were windy and I was scared of my brother getting carsick. I also love music, and I play trombone and piano too. I love sports but people always chose me last for teams and underestimated me because I was a girl. I guess that separated me from some people, but I realized that we are all different and seeing this made me feel better to be different. I know I didn’t grow up with a small family or things even close to you’re troubles, but I can understand how being different makes us who we are.
P.S you should make this a movie!
I actually ended up doing a school project on an actor named Peter Dinklage, he’s famous for Game of Thrones and he has dwarfism and I learned that people like him go through so much in their lives. I love this video I think it spreads a very good message to people! ❤
He graduated from my college and did the commencement speech at my graduation!
I absolutely love this story so much and I can defiantly relate to it!!!
While you had ADHD I have an IEP that made it so much harder to understand school and while I have my own ways of understanding it now thank you for shedding light onto this
As you say it’s the little imperfections that add up to you💕
How did the IEP make it harder? They're supposed to help. I just put my child on one hoping for a good outcome.😔
@A BlahDay Speaking as an adhd having high-school dropout who was "helped" too late and still feels like an idiot even in adulthood, the IEP doesn't help what some kids are ACTUALLY struggling with. Extended time and extra help on school work is great, but what a lot of people really need is someone to listen to them and get to the root of what is wrong. I was in 9th grade for 4 years (not a bad student, I just didn't understand things easily like other students, and thought I was an imbecile for it), and during those years, I was extremely depressed, and I cannot stress to you enough how problematic teachers can be. Teachers will tear your kid down worse than anyone else, some time without even realizing it. I'd highly suggest having a serious talk with them about how school is going, because there's more than likely things you don't know. I'm still recovering from school.. I still hear the cruel things my teacher's have said to me.. whether they were said out of frustration or not.. no-one negatively impacts how you feel about your own intelligence quite like a teacher.. and parents, but that's a whole different story. All of this to say, I hope the IEP does work for your kid, but please try and be patient with them if it doesn't.
@@maddyrose80 Thank you for replying. Sounds a lot like what my child is going through,unfortunately. All I know is we love him and will continue to fight for him. Also, I'm sorry you have ever been made to feel badly about yourself. 💜
@@ablahday2558 Thank you so much, and I truly do hope your son gets the help he needs. It's very important to remind him that he's not dumb, stupid, or incompetent in any way. Some people just learn differently, and that's totally okay. All the best to you!
I don't know what behavior I had but I had an IEP too and my school life style was rough I didn't need to be in life skills but should have been in learning support. By halfway in my 10th grade I got into learning support.
You are perfect! You are exactly who you were meant to be. You and your family are amazing! Thank you for sharing all your ups and downs with us.
What a beautifully written story! Nice job!
I really enjoyed the video. I had a sister with cyclic fibrosis and other birth defects. She was very short. She was 4.5 years older but I was taller than her by 1st grade. I deeply connect to your story. Brought me to tears with a mix of memories. My parents split up too. I have crippling ADHD as well. It is so good to see an ADHD person succeeding. I am 50, diagnosed at 30. My kids are 12 and 7. They were diagnosed at 6. With my help they will succeed in areas I was held back by my undiagnosed ADHD. I subscribed and watch the advertisements. I hope to buy your book when I have extra $ to support your work. ADHD is a superpower when channeled correctly. ❤
Peet I think you are not aware yet how many younger people you have helped with this precious video 💕... You are a true angel 💋
Peet,
That is the sweetest story I have heard in a long time. Seeing you do things in your place on your own like putting the shower head low and the coffee mugs in the bottom cupboards made me "Aweee" & then I just started crying. ❤ Thanks for sharing this with us. *hug*
I genuinely loved this so much. I was tearing up by the end. Thank you for telling us about your life and history❤
This is so precious. I love it! My girls will love this book. To help them understand that no matter what, we're all human, and we should treat each other as we would like to be treated. You did an amazing job on this! Hope to see more from your Peet
You helped me overcome my fears of being left out. I always thought I was different from the kids at the playground but you made me realise that it’s okay to be different
I love that in the beginning, they had Peet solving the Rubik's Cube and at the end they had the solved cube on their desk, along with a ton of other awards and achievements!
This book deserves tons of purchases, it's an amazing book and it's really inspirational! Good work Peet!
This made me cry happy tears.. it reminded me that you are beautiful as you are, even with imperfections..
Why do I love this family so much? They make my heart warm.
This was absolutely beautiful. I'm so happy for you, Peet! Thank you for sharing your heart and story with the world. This truly will bless so many people, I know it.
That was beautiful & wholesome. Thank you for sharing. You’re so loved & that is everything. ♥️
You know Peet.. my metal health hasn't been the best and since I'm Deaf with Hearing Aids I've felt left out but after hearing this.. it makes me feel like someone understands me. I really appreciate you taking your time just to make a story for us people. No one is a misfit everyone is included! But after hearing this wonderful story it makes me feel happier and... different :) Thanks Peet!

Your story makes me cry. All families are different. I’m adopted, I know my biological siblings, but we’re all in different families and my parents split when I was 4. And I grew up feeling like I had no family when my friends talked about theirs but as I got older I realised being adopted is part of who I am and I’m proud to make a family happy, I gave them a child and most importantly they gave me a home and a loving family. I always wondered why I couldn’t speak how I felt so I’d just cry until I was much older and found out I actually have a learning disability, they couldn’t diagnose me with one because I have symptoms of some like autism, adhd, dyslexia (reading side also known as visual stress), im not as fast at learning certain things and I have social anxiety, grew up bullied and even now and again I still get people who bully me, but I’ve learned to be strong and try and push through it even though it’s so hard to accept who I am sometimes, but watching your videos make me realised that it’s ok if you’re not like the other kids because everyone is special in their own way
Peet you may be a ginger but you have a soul that’s pure as gold. God bless you ❤
For sure ❤
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Great storybook and the drawing art work is absolutely adorable! Next, perhaps a TV cartoon series?! Your family and especially your mom is adorable. She works so hard and has great humour and love.
Little imperfections perfectly told. And you have a wonderful, brave Mom. 🧡
Many Congratulations on your book, Peet! It’s a very kind and uplifting book. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season!
It's just awesome, inspiring, and motivating. Thanks Peet
What a lovely tribute to your mother and family.
You seem so nice and kind, so gentle and full of happiness to share, you're inspirational with your talents and your passions, go on like this Peet! 🧡
Pete, I don't know if you will see this, but i wanted to say thak you for such a beautiful and meaningful story. I'm a single mom of two, my oldest has autism and absolutely loves books. And even though your story is about dwarfism, it's also about family, love, feeling like you don't fit in, about separation, overcoming obstacles and that we are all a little different and that's what makes us unique. I'm buying your book to read to my children and use it as another way to connect with them and for them to connect to everyone else. Even though it's in english and portuguese is our native language, i will translate it to them everytime they want to read it. So thank you, Peet, for making our lives a little brighter, even with our little imperfections...
this is so cute!! I love that you wrote a book for others who might feel the same way you did
Your words in the book were really lovely and delicate. They showed how you became who you are today by embracing your differences and understanding that the daily struggles your family faced were very much akin to the daily struggles that many families face.
This story is so heartwarming I want to cry my eyes out
I loved your story. It made me cry. Thank you for sharing it.
This made me cry. Remembering my childhood with the sounds of my brothers hospital bed it was the only way I could fall asleep even in adulthood I had to buy a air filter because the sound reminded me of him. This touched me so deep.
Hi peet i really appreciate u for sharing ur story and being such a kind, caring and open person. Sending love to u and ur family if u read this ❤
You, your family and your book are AWESOME! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your story, it made me cry and that doesn't happen often. God bless all of you, keep up the great work!
You were obviously the “different” one in the family. But the one thing that was always the same was…. Love. That’s what I felt watching this video. Thank you for sharing your life and family with us. You’re making the best of what life gave you and that is truly admirable!
This was so cute an wholesome!! I love how far you’ve gotten and I hope your book gets sold out of the first store!
Beautiful. Your mom is so sweet. And you are a loving son.
This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It gave me so much hope. Lately I’ve been wanting to have “normal things” like everyone else does but I just can’t right now. But maybe these struggles are building me to have the life I was meant to have instead of just being a struggle.
What a wonderful book and beautifully written! It highlights everything about being different in all the best ways, and shows that even if we're all different in many ways they all add up to make us who we are! Hearing about your personal experiences growing up different was wonderful and brought tears to my eyes near the end, but they were happy ones. Thank you for writing this, and thanks to all who worked to bring this story to many people!!
Thanks Peet. I'm not crying you're crying. What a beautiful family and such a truly heartwarming story.
Congratulations once again for the book l can wait to see the book
What a beautifully told story, made even more powerful by the fact that it’s based on your real life. It’s a good thing I knew it had a happy ending as you took us on that emotional roller coaster of a journey. Please keep sharing your light with the world! And tell your momma she did a dang fine job.
You have an amazing mother and siblings my dude. Nobody’s perfect, but they seem real down to earth and like they have good seneses of humor. Sometimes that’s all you need.
I love this story so much, I showed it to my brother who was born with a cleft lip and palate, has multiple allergies and has Dyslexia and Dyspraxia and he really appreciated it. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
I'm invested. I need a full movie with a prequel and sequel. 😭😭😭 Your family is so wholesome.
The success you have is well earned. I received your book in the mail today. I originally bought it for my grandchildren, because they are young and impressionable. I thought that this would be a great way to teach them about inclusiveness. Also, my 3 year old grandson has a disability which will challenge him for the rest of his life. I’m hopeful that this book will remain in our family for years to come when he’s old enough to understand.
Lastly, I thought to myself about how odd it was to feel proud of a person that I have never met. Your family is special. I don’t mean their size, I mean their spirit. Congratulations on your success. I wish you and yours continued blessings.
My little sister was so fascinated by this and thought it is so cool that u were growing up like this,even thought it was hard,she loves that your childhood home is filled with tiny things i think its pretty cool too.....Love u guys!
Thank you so much peet for reminder that we are beautiful just the way we are and little imperfections are part when we grow up this tale is so motivational and inspirational 💕🦋
Thanks for doing this in a way that welcomes everyone rather than only assigning value to one category or another. We need more of this today.
I’m not crying…..you’re crying! 😢😢😢😢 This was beautiful! You did such an amazing job! 🎉❤
I purchased your book, and my son and I have read it several times during our 20 minutes of daily reading. My son also has ADHD, and I love that you put that about yourself in the book. He’s been doing really well on his new meds, and we have been working hard to get caught up. I’m so proud of him. Thank you for this awesome book, and I am so very proud of you. ❤

i...cried. I don't cry a lot. Sometimes, but this was just... amazing. it's so amazing to see what people go through, that makes them them. this was just so amazing. I'm so sorry you had to live, feeling like this growing up. that's awful. i'm glad you have a good relationship with your mother and siblings, though. that's always good, having people who know you, and can be there for you. this is a sad but inspiring story. stay awesome Peet ❤❤
Thanks Pete I know this book was to kids but seeing your mom struggle and you as well made me feel better about being a furry mom my pittie and I have been struggling and with him being 6 months old ,teething, and everyone telling me I'm not a good mom and that my illnesses would prevent me to be a good one this helped me alot thank you I know I'm struggling but he makes everyday worth it

@@zoe_24 Awww thank you! ❤️🥺
This was the most beautiful story I've listened to. I'm so grateful for your sharing of your life. It has opened my eyes to a lot of things. My sons also have adhd, as a parent it can oftentimes be very frustrating and stressful when kids do stuff to push your buttons and all the ups and downs. I have to forgive my kids just as much as I need forgiveness. We don't come with instructions as people, we can only do our best and hope to learn from our mistakes to be better next time. That's where unconditional love comes in. It gives you patience and do overs without judgment. Keep being yourself and always return the love in more ways than one.
The whole time my eyes were full of tears ...Idk how to express my feelings....literally heart touching ❤ Hope one day everyone will realize that there is perfection in imperfections ❤❤
