"you're not my shadow, you're your own light" 😭 this made me tear up. What an amazing role model you are for your children. The world would be a better place if more children were raised the way you are raising yours ❤️
Jake is incredible. He is more mature than most adults I know. He also articulates his thoughts so well. He will be an amazing man growing up. Full of emotional intelligence.
i think hes gay. no offense to the kid and his parents. i have gay friends and relative. i have this gay radar feeling since i was a kid. i have a strong feeling that this kid is gay.
Why is this little boy so well spoken and have high emotional intelligence than any men I have met. 😭 He is going to be such a wonderful gentleman. He has been raised so well. Inspires me to teach my children the same in future.
EQ It’s not a real thing. He will find fulfillment in doing things, not achieve in. You’re assuming that your experience in feelings and how things are converted is the only correct experience . That’s the problem
Coming from an Asian family where growing up, I couldn’t speak my mind and feelings because of generational and cultural differences at the time, I feel liberated seeing how you hold such a respectful conversation with your kids. You are such an inspiration Valeria❤️.
Jake is so wise beyond his years! So refreshing to hear this conversation from a young boy saying how much he loved his mom! Jake I have no doubt we will be seeing more of you! Valeria you are such a patient mom allowing him to speak his mind and being such a supportive parent! From a Vaughan mom who has watched you since your verie days✨💫🇨🇦😊
The parenting you guys have done is incredible with this kid & he’s only a decade old like when he gets multiple decades in wow he’s already magical but he’s going to be so incredible
I randomly picked up this video for learning English. And now I'm proud of myself that I found this video! I learned that how you are amazing for your kids. He liberated you but ME TOO!! I learned not only language. Thank you so much😘❤
The sweetest and most important guest. I love listening to Jake and you. It reminds me of the conversations I have with my two teens. Navigating parenting and having important discussions while sharing emotional intelligence with your children is so important. Our littles are truly listening and learning as much as we are as parents.
You're such a good wife, and mother Valeria. I really admire that you and Gary teach the importance of healthy relationship. I love that you two have a healthy relationship with each other. You two are like each other's best friends.
he is so genuine and brilliant !!! I feel like I learn more from kids sometimes than adults .it makes you humble to listen how wise they are .looooooove you guys !!!
I’m totally sincere when I say you and Gary are raising great and pure human beings! I’ve been here for a few good years now and from all the you were kind enough to share with us I simply knew that this boys would grow up to be great men. I know it’s crazy but it’s mind blowing to hear the way they speak, what’s in their minds and how they view life! Thank you for sharing, V! God bless your family 🖤
This is such a good episode. His analogies of the things in life and his different perspectives make living so simple and uncomplicated, and that's amazing. It's definitely something that we should learn as adults.
May God bless this child!! What a mind. This is everything I want for my future child. He is so wise and emotionally intelligent beyond his years. It’s such a testament to your parenting. It’s simply beautiful!! Thank you for sharing ❤
Honestly, one of the best podcasts you've done! I'm going to save it and will probably rewatch it many-many times! Your son is amazing and so wise for his age! You are doing a fabulous work as parents! He said so many meaningful things that can become like proverbs of life, but the way and the attitude he said it with makes it settle down and help to process so easily (like easy, not psychologically complex, language and such great examples)! And that mutual respect that you have for each other is so much admirable! OMG, I can go on and on and on! But it just this interview impressed me so much and definitely left its mark. In my head I was like: "Okay, I'm ready for my next move - to have my first-born baby, and now I know that the energy and everything that I will give to my baby, all this hard work, will pay off! And my baby will be successful and confident!" Thank you so much for this great video and Jake!
You have made the most difficult job of motherhood look so easy and uncomplicated, Valeria. A fan of Jake since pre-Max. I hope we also see Ben’s full podcast episode. The Lipovetsky is a great team of amazing people ❤️
I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Jake. He is so well spoken, kind, and curious. It must be so fulfilling as a parent to know that your child looks up to you and that you created a safe and nurturing space for him to grow into a confident person.
I get goosbumps listening to Jake !!!! I mean wooow... I truly honor your parenting style and the teachings you both give to your children despite your disagreements and different perspectives you are managing to cooperate and your children understand that too and they respect you both, omg.... I love you all sooo much
Such an intelligent kid . You guys have done amazing job. The way he expresses himself makes him like a perfect mixture of both of you . Someday he would the person in his life extremely happy, because emotional intelligence and excellent communication build strong relationships.❤️
This was even healing for my inner child. Jake is such a beautiful soul! Valeria and Gary you are doin such a goood job raising your children. It was so beautiful to watch!
I think this is a new generation perfect representation- a very young boy who is smart/ intelligent/ you can see his brain is working fast but also repeating like a machine exactly what he has seen on the internet f. e on youtube - interviews with some famous people, popstars, or instagram shorts, Facebook reels etc. The way he is explaing himself is like a copy paste of what we can see on the internet. Executed with precision and perfect memory but still the content of what an adult said. Kids are like sponges they see hear and memorize- esp this new gen. To me it is both a little scary and also interesting ( as a new characteristic). Howevet the concept of talking to yr child is funny to watch. Overall I like Valeria and her content so it is also pleasant to watch this episode.
Wow that's actually a good point. I'm a Gen Z myself and echo this point on the younger generation (by younger generation, I mean Jake's age) but crazy to think how the next generation will follow and so forth
Good grief, he looks just like you... But seriously, the dynamic you two have is similar to my own dynamic with my 12 year old daughter. On weekends, we read classic literature to each other. We're currently reading through Plutarch's Lives. We both love it, and it's an excuse to have Daddy-Daughter time. Also, the way you listen to your son is top-notch. Excellent discussion.
This is so refreshing to watch! You and your husband are doing an amazing job ( and a testament to Jake as well) The way he could articulate difficult concepts so well, and his compassionate thinking. This is how I hope to parent one day!
Wow, what a conversation. I wish I could have a friend like Jake that I can talk to and share my thoughts with the way you do with Jack. Good job Valeria and Gary!
Wow, wow. I’m in awe of this conversation. Love how you explain everything so clearly to him and the emotional intelligence vocabulary, is incredible. And Jake, so sweet and wise and articulated. Parenting inspo 🙌🏻
Such a sweet and smart kid! Love listening his philosophy, its crazy how smart kids are sometimes. And you guys did amazing job raising him this way! hugs from Amsterdam!
I love his analogies! Jake is just such a superb person. ❤ I also love how he knows that it's special to have a mom in this career field, and doesn't take it for granted. So cute!
I can see both of your influences on Jake. Some of the things that he says are like Gary and he has a free spirit like you! Very smart and wise beyond his years!
I don't know if and when you'll see this but Ive been following you since 4 years now and I would like to have some qualities like yours and I love all your podcasts,they are all so meaningful, I hope you keep making content like this
Valeria you and Gary are doing an amazing job of raising such clever, open and kind kids. Jake opened up to me as a very mature person, knowing what he is good at, what he likes and doesn’t like, very gentle with his words when speaking to you making sure his words won’t offend neither you nor Papa. Honestly before that I didn’t see such a depth in Jake but now I am just sure that he is a great kid and really lucky to be a part of your family. Sending love to all of you❤ *and waiting for the video with the boys Valeria, don’t keep it to yourself😂😁🙏
Omg Valeria! It was uplifting to listen. You guys talked about huge things about our life journey. Congrats or just saying thank you I really do not know. Want to hug you both with tears in my eyes. Love you both❤️
Hm… I liked the interview but I just had a gut feeling that discussing life’s big problems at this level to an 11 year old child might be too burdensome. I specifically mean asking him all the time what did they learn from every experience. I could tell he really tried to answer on the same level of knowledge but the experience is not necessarily there, nevertheless he wanted to please. He is an absolute smart darling, that is for sure. I fee that if I had children I would talk openly with them as well but maybe explain to them in easier to understand terms with examples what I mean rather than talking to them as if I was talking to an adult friend only because they are not yet adults with all the life experience we have.
Hello Valeria! This was such a beautiful episode! Jake is so handsome, and so incredibly intelligent! I love his analogies. Jake is wise beyond his years! You are an inspiration and an amazing mother! You and Gary are doing a fantastic job as parents This is my favorite episode! I love listening to his philosophy! He will do incredible things in this world! Love you so much Valeria! Love, Janice and Larry Watson. Pittsburgh PA USA
Can’t wait to the day when he has his own podcast! I’ll be his subscriber for sure ❤ вы просто молодцы Валерия и Джейк!! Мой сын тоже мудрый как твой сын и я тоже очень горжусь им 😊
Thank you for sharing a small part of the wonderful, sweet, smart little miracle that is your son. Also.....I would love to see an interview with Benny!
How are you raising this young boy?!?! Wow. As someone who does not yet have kids, I really hope I can raise mine to be as confident and intelligent as Jake. You're doing such a great job. If there is anything you can share in an episode about raising kids with self-confidence and grit, please share!
Hello Valeria! This is so beautiful! Jake has so much respect and love for you! Love you so much Valeria! Love, Janice and Larry Watson Pittsburgh PA USA
❤ I love that you allow him to speak his own thoughts and not 'help' him instead let him find his words in expressing himself. I need to work on that even with conversing with adults 😅
The emotional intelligence this kiddo has 🥹 so sweet.
🙏🏻🥰🥰
It’s not a thing. He finds fulfillment in doing, not talking
"you're not my shadow, you're your own light" 😭 this made me tear up. What an amazing role model you are for your children. The world would be a better place if more children were raised the way you are raising yours ❤️
You’re the sweetest ❤🥹
💯❤❤
he basically said "I am lucky that youre my mom" This must be the most fulfilling thing to hear coming from your child.
You can see his brain is constantly running. Smart kid. Keep giving him a chance to learn whatever he wants to explore. 😊😊
Always ❤️
Jake is incredible. He is more mature than most adults I know. He also articulates his thoughts so well. He will be an amazing man growing up. Full of emotional intelligence.
It’s not a real thing. He will find fulfillment in doing, not talking
i think hes gay. no offense to the kid and his parents. i have gay friends and relative. i have this gay radar feeling since i was a kid. i have a strong feeling that this kid is gay.
Hearing Jake say, “but hey it happens, that’s life” was so cute cuz Valeria is always saying this! Love that! So cute!
Valeria, I love how you dignify him - you don’t interrupt, you acknowledge, you don’t judge, you created such a safe environment for self expressing 🥹
🙏🏻❤
I have never seen a child so wise, he is also so sweet and respectful to you. I hope he will be in a podcast more often❤
Why is this little boy so well spoken and have high emotional intelligence than any men I have met. 😭 He is going to be such a wonderful gentleman. He has been raised so well. Inspires me to teach my children the same in future.
EQ It’s not a real thing. He will find fulfillment in doing things, not achieve in. You’re assuming that your experience in feelings and how things are converted is the only correct experience . That’s the problem
Beautiful child. Tell him he is a wonderful role model. He’s going to do big things with his big heart! ❤
Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️
You can tell he gets his intelligence and big heart from his mother! You’re doing such a great job raising your kids ❤
Thank you so much ❤🥹
Coming from an Asian family where growing up, I couldn’t speak my mind and feelings because of generational and cultural differences at the time, I feel liberated seeing how you hold such a respectful conversation with your kids. You are such an inspiration Valeria❤️.
The listening skills from both of you are on point. I've learnt so much from this episode from Jake and you ☺️ thank you
So glad to hear that ❤ thanks for watching!!
Jake is so wise beyond his years! So refreshing to hear this conversation from a young boy saying how much he loved his mom! Jake I have no doubt we will be seeing more of you! Valeria you are such a patient mom allowing him to speak his mind and being such a supportive parent! From a Vaughan mom who has watched you since your verie days✨💫🇨🇦😊
Thank you so much! Glad you're still here 🥹❤ sending love!!
Prepare yourself Valeria...Jake is going to be a heartbreaker when he is older.
😂❤❤
All of the 3 will!!🆘💥😂
"personal growth is an opportunity to redeem yourself" - Wow, this darling, wise child 💛
“It’s like cooking блинчики” made me laugh from the cuteness of that moment 🤩🥹 Such a smart person, Jake 🙏🏼
The blinchiki metaphor was pure gold ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 thank you both for a wonderful conversation❤
Your kid is the CUTEST! He's like an old soul
Thank you love ❤
Jake's so respectful, open-minded and outspoken
Good job, Gary and Valeria
The parenting you guys have done is incredible with this kid & he’s only a decade old like when he gets multiple decades in wow he’s already magical but he’s going to be so incredible

I am 26, and about to quote Jake in my daily life. His perspective on difficult things are amazing
You have made the most difficult job of motherhood look so easy and uncomplicated, Valeria.
A fan of Jake since pre-Max.
I hope we also see Ben’s full podcast episode.
The Lipovetsky is a great team of amazing people ❤️
I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Jake. He is so well spoken, kind, and curious. It must be so fulfilling as a parent to know that your child looks up to you and that you created a safe and nurturing space for him to grow into a confident person.

This is a legit LEGEND! We need these people to grow so blissfully and brighten up the whole world! Amazing job ❤️

Jake is soo self aware for his age! 😮 that comes only from good parenting 👏🏻 you anf Gary are doing a great job
Good grief, he looks just like you...
But seriously, the dynamic you two have is similar to my own dynamic with my 12 year old daughter. On weekends, we read classic literature to each other. We're currently reading through Plutarch's Lives. We both love it, and it's an excuse to have Daddy-Daughter time.
Also, the way you listen to your son is top-notch. Excellent discussion.
