Thank you for all your support. Unfortunately, comments got randomly reset, but I've read all of them and really appreciate it! Rafael is doing great and is now 9 years old. We daily vlog on this channel and this was just another day in our life when we lived overseas. Thanks a lot!
I just watched a couple of videos and the improvement he got in himself. Love to see how he tried to contain his anger when he's talking/working with his sister. Thanks for being amazing parents. I wish him a happy future ahead (＾∇＾)ﾉ♪ (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
@@Jack-mh2vn I don't think the mom does either. Kinda think she self diagnosed her kid and is now furthering everyone very wrong idea about what ocd is. We already got people claiming they have ocd because they practice good heigine. Now we gonna have people claiming they ocd because they get angry. Not cool. I'm not saying he doesn't have ocd but this is not even close to a symptom. And doctors don't just throw that diagnosis around. This kid was supposedly diagnosed at 3 and by the time he was making videos he was already handling his symptoms sooo well. It's because they aren't symtoms of ocd. He would be panicking that something really bad is going to happen. Not getting angry and then getting over it just because his mom said it was fine.
@@lc4life369 Rafael was diagnosed in Israel at the age of three, with OCD and ASD, by a neurologist. Every year after that, he has had a re-diagnosis that is the same. ASD and OCD. He works on it everyday. He was not self-diagnosed, he saw doctors and is going to a therapist. He turned 9 years old today and still has OCD and ASD and will likely always struggle with it, but he knows how to cope with not finishing a ritual now. Not all people with ASD are alike, and not all people with OCD are alike.
Mom: "Let her hold it" Rafael: "But she'll-" Mom: "Let her hold it" Rafael: *lets her hold it* Abigail: *immediately cracks egg* Rafael: 😫 *Im not trying to be mean, I just found it funny how she immediately crack the egg 😂*
It’s crazy how so many behaviours that were just considered ‘bad attitude’ or ‘bad temperament’ seem to be symptoms of psychological distress/disorder. I often see adults respond to kids like this by matching their volume etc. it’s crazy to me because all it does is normalise the behaviour to children and teaches them that that is an ok way to manage interpersonal relationships. I love the “you can fix this” script. So empowering and reassuring.
I was tearing up at the beginning when she pushed his hand when he was pouring what I think was Vegetable oil? when he said "don't you touch this" you can tell how much that mess disturbed him. it's so hard to fight the disorder but you can tell he's doing his best with it and trying to manage his emotions as best as he can. he's a good kid ☺️ Abigail is also SUCH a cutie patootie. and even though he may have been angry for her doing things that triggered his emotional response, you can tell how much he really loves her. Such a great family
@WildChild do you have any idea what it's like living with a disability? Much easier said than done. This mom is helping him stay in control of his emotions. Yelling at him and trying to force him to behave is not the way to help him cope. Living with OCD is a nightmare, especially as a child. This isn't just a tantrum. And the mom is doing a great job at helping Rafael cope. Stop throwing around buzz words without knowing what they are.
@@sashacupcakelady6695 Why is nobody commenting on the fact you picked a petty argument Edit: It’s also ironic you say that, since you are apparently having issues with it as well
1:16 i totally feel him here, how he just kinda looked away and dealt with it even tho it bothered him.. like sometimes with people around me if they don’t do something that would satisfy my ocd, i just know i need to walk away and take a breath and accept that not everything can be that “just right” feeling that my ocd wants.. you know? lol
Yeah, it's a very important thing to remember. I think, "Come on, it's not worth damaging a relationship over this stupid thing right?" But it can still be hard. The "just right" feeling is so comforting and beautiful. If that makes sense lol

This was actually a real 'win' for Rafael! He came around several times and calmed himself, even smiling and having fun. It was wonderful. Great work Rafael!!!
this makes me sad to see him, a 5 year old, with ocd. but at the same time its heartwarming because he deals with it so well. i cant believe he is only 5 years old and i feel like he's giving me hope. he doesnt know how wonderful and strong he is
Any 3yr old would have had a meltdown over that though...? He doesn't seem too bad, if anything he just needs a little more discipline; I feel like having the camera in his face is encouraging him to act out. idk, that's just what I see from personal experience.
@@ponggaaa4854 its an actual disorder (called OCD just as mentioned at the beginning) and it has absolutely nothing to Do with discipline or the camera. His brain just works differnt than yours. Its not his fault or his parents.
@@ponggaaa4854 most 3 year olds would not for the most part, unless their day was really bad and it was just a thing that broke the camel's back. When it comes to ocd, a lot of it is like "(Thing) has to be (desired outcome) or else it's bad!!" Think of it like when you're having a bad day and everything is going wrong and you're just like "Can't anything be right?!!" But on an everyday basis and for no reason whatsoever. People with OCD are already trying to alleviate their anxiety that everything isn't going to be perfect. While discipline is needed to teach and allow the child to cope in healthy ways, from what your comment is insinuating, harsher discipline will actually do more harm than good and will often push them to develop worse coping habits
Why is no one talking about the fact that he kept saying that whatever Abigail drew was beautiful with the most heartwarming grin He may seem paranoid by even the slightest inconvenience but his emotional maturity is off the damn charts He’s gonna kick OCDs ass
I've had OCD as long as I can remember (didn't get diagnosed till a few years ago) and I can tell you, when something or someone triggers it, or prevents you from doing a compulsion, it's HARD. The pain your brain makes you feel is worse then almost any physical pain. So I just wanted to say, this kid is AMAZING at keeping his composure. You can tell he's in pain, but he knows it's not his sister's fault and knows that he can overcome the temporary yet intense anxiety this disorder causes. And at such a young age too! This almost brings tears to my eyes.
I have ocd. And it was torture as a kid ..i would wash hands and walk up and down the stairs till i would ball up and cry because i couldnt stop. Im 100% drug free and dont even smoke cigg or drink... But. As a teen i smoked pot and honestly it helpped my ocd 90% with a lifetime result.
Though he might have OCD, he seems incredibly smart for his age. The way he speaks so fluently and in full sentences - something I couldn't do very well at that age 😅
your daughter is absolutely adorable and seeing your son trying not to be very mean warms my heart and when they blasted in laughter at the end MADE ME TEAR UP THIS WAS SO CUTE 😭😭😭😭😭😭💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
This reminds me sooo much of my brother and I when we were little. He’s autistic and would get frustrated so easily by the things I did as a baby haha it brings me so many memories! We’re very close :)
i don't have OCD, but i do have ADHD and probably autism (not officially diagnosed.) i can see myself in these videos sometimes. i can be a bit of a perfectionist, and if someone tries to "help" in a way that messes with the exact steps I had in my head, I can't handle it. it's like i was carefully arranging dominos and someone came and knocked it over before i was done. a few months back, i came back from my break at work to find two members of management had took over my job while i was gone. i lost it, it felt like i was suddenly miles behind where i was supposed to be and i spent the rest of my shift sobbing while i did my work.
as someone with OCD who deals primarily with ordering/patterns/lists (AKA “perfectionism”), I relate to this except instead of sobbing i freeze and/or dissociate because the work i’m doing now feels pointless, almost as if I’m starting from square one. i understand the devastation though as it often really does feel like something is wrong. at my job i have a physical checklist, and when people do things out of order (“didn’t have time” to do things on start of list) it drives me insane.
@@DonkeyLipsDA3rd Funny how I would do mine tomorrow-due at midnight then sleep less than 4 hours and I would always forget to write my name in it and do it at the presentation so drowsy it looked like I misspelled my own name, I remember people would laugh and I would even push them to. I hated the focus they had on writing beautifully (even more so in Brazil, cursive is the standard here) when the objective of the writing system is to be readable and written fast.
I’m like this as an adult. It has caused me issues with my husband, but I just thought I’m more particular than most people. I wonder if it’s just that.
I was diagnosed with OCD and ADHD at age 10. I know it can be hard to live with and it can be hard to parent a child with it but you are doing a great job.
@@JohnWick03 it’s tough to live with. Both conditions make each other’s symptoms feel worse. It’s like 2 pilots. ADHD is pilot 1 and OCD is pilot 2. Which ever one is flying the plane is the one that I’m experiencing that day.
I feel for this little boy and his mother. But I love how his sister is supporting him by showing him that her mistakes are okay, so his may be also. He seemed happy she was okay with not being perfect, and relaxed, helping him relax too. He needs tlc and support
He’s just so adorable. And Mommy… thank you for your patience and love.,. He’s going to be fine. He’s trying and improving. He’s so smart and cute… they both are. Kids are everything. ❤️❤️❤️
I have OCD myself, but I am almost forty. You sound like a very patient and loving mother, you push but in the right direction. Rafael seems like a very bright and kind boy, good job young man.
How much youtube took me here, i will never know. Aside from the adorableness, the one thing that stands out here is that you seem like a terrific mother. Its hard to be patient + understanding and firm and in control at the same time, but you certainly seem to be all of those things!
Man, I love my kiddos so much and they have grown my heart in ways I never knew were possible. I've seen several of his videos and I just want to tell this little guy that's it's all going to be ok. I need to check out his daily vlog. The way you communicate to him and calm him shows me areas where I can grow.
We daily vlog so this was just another daily vlog, except this happened so it because a video about how he deals with OCD with exposure therapy - being that he has a sister to trigger him constantly.
@@FoolyLiving And it HAS to be put on UA-cam for profit? Or that's just a decision HE made? (it would be a lot harder to start a UA-cam channel if your son Didn't have OCD....just a thought...it would be harder to get views) But that's just how it comes across
I actually think he handled this better than I would have at that age. He understands the concept of having patients and you can see him trying his hardest to maintain that.
I have OCD and this is so relatable, I love cooking but when people try to cook with me and don't follow the instructions perfectly it annoys me so much, now I just cook during my own time. He does such a good job with coping with his feelings!
I'm a woman in her 50s, and I see so much of myself in Rafael. To me, he's just a perfectionist and I totally understand his being upset. Funny thing is, my sister, who's a trauma counselor, said to me recently, "You're OCD." I thought it was funny and just brushed it off. Could I really be OCD? Maybe that's why I'm such a good news editor.
Well, do you think you're gonna die if you don't do some things your brain wants you to do ? Or your familly is gonna die ? Or something terrible will happen ? If so, you have ocd. It's not just like "Oh, I like perfect things." You can have ocd and be messy, too. You can be a perfectionist and not have ocd.
when the baby reacted to the broken crayon I wonder if she learned to be dramatic about it from her brother. Seemed like a learned response. This is fascinating, thanks so much for sharing they are adorable kids!
Watching this video helps because I also have ocd as well . I can't really explain what ocd feels like but I can tell you this . It's like when you have an itch on your skin you keep scratching it but it comes back. I'm happy that I'm not alone
I was diagnosed with OCD since my teenage. Spent my whole life fighting OCD. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
I absolutely love Rafael! At tender of five, he is fiercely quoteworthy. Just a few examples: "What, is it hard boiled?" (referring to an egg) He is incredibly observant. "I made a zombie". (I personally just love plots involving Zombies) "Don't give her another one." (she's gonna break it) "It's a beautiful de-design". He is trying sooooo hard to be nice to his baby sister. He is possibly more thoughtful and considerate than most adults.
Thank you for all your support. Unfortunately, comments got randomly reset, but I've read all of them and really appreciate it! Rafael is doing great and is now 9 years old. We daily vlog on this channel and this was just another day in our life when we lived overseas. Thanks a lot!

We love Rafael. At the end His heart is of gold
0:56 LOL it's almost like she deliberately does these things to bother him but then looks at him in such confusion ! 🤣😍😍😍
Lol yes, they are soo adorable and bright!❤️❤️❤️

1:08 and then he calmly realizes it didn't smash into scrambled eggs 🤣
they’re both so smart and absolutely adorable :)
the increasing relaxation on his face when he did the second pouring makes me relieved for him lol
They are both so adorable. It seems like he is really trying to be patient with his sister and calm himself down. Hes so intelligent for his age!
2:07 when she starts laughing just because her bro started laughing :'( just so sweet. Sweet kiddos
I have OCD myself, but I am almost forty. You sound like a very patient and loving mother, you push but in the right direction. Rafael seems like a very bright and kind boy, good job young man.
1:48 Don't ya just hate it when ur recording and someone is being
robbed in the background.
I don't have much experience with 5 year olds but this kid seems very intelligent and articulate for someone his age.
they are too cute. i love how Rafael was like 'don't give her an egg'. ily guys
I really love how he’s trying to stay calm with his sister even though it’s obvious that he’s irritated. He’s so sweet❤️
His expression on his face when she broke the egg at 0:59 had me dying of laughter😂😂🤣
this is adorable and i love that in the process of it, he’s also making progress! love this and the kids are so cute 😭🥰
I know that this video is 3 years old but I’m proud of him trying to not get angry, good job Rafael❤️
He's gonna be such a good guy. I can see you are raising him right.
How much youtube took me here, i will never know.
Aside from the adorableness, the one thing that stands out here is that you seem like a terrific mother. Its hard to be patient + understanding and firm and in control at the same time, but you certainly seem to be all of those things!
This is Precious, I Love you guys interaction he's a very good listener, sharing and caring. His little voice makes me 😃
That laugh at the end is totally worth it!
it is so obvious this boy is brilliant. i cant tell he will grow up to do wonderful things
I have OCD too and felt the same way as Rafael, its definitely hard to contain anger and discomfort which was impressive that he did
This is super confronting 😅 Thank you for posting, you’re doing an amazing job 💙
I'm just gonna say this: what a couple of adorable, freaking awesome kids and how amazing of parents they have. 20/10 parenting
he reminds me so much of my little brother, and the way you handle the situation is amazing ❤
The girl is really good therapy exposure for him and his OCD
Man, I love my kiddos so much and they have grown my heart in ways I never knew were possible. I've seen several of his videos and I just want to tell this little guy that's it's all going to be ok. I need to check out his daily vlog. The way you communicate to him and calm him shows me areas where I can grow.
1:36 LOL “don’t give her one.” 💀
"Noooooooooo!" so sweet! keep it up little man, you are doing great!!
Dude don't let him do this.
Have some kind of boundaries set up instead of enabling this behavior.
"Let's just film him and put him on UA-cam."
We daily vlog so this was just another daily vlog, except this happened so it because a video about how he deals with OCD with exposure therapy - being that he has a sister to trigger him constantly.
@@FoolyLiving And it HAS to be put on UA-cam for profit?
Or that's just a decision HE made?
(it would be a lot harder to start a UA-cam channel if your son Didn't have OCD....just a thought...it would be harder to get views)
But that's just how it comes across
I actually think he handled this better than I would have at that age. He understands the concept of having patients and you can see him trying his hardest to maintain that.
Rafael won't be a messy man when he's older
I have OCD and this is so relatable, I love cooking but when people try to cook with me and don't follow the instructions perfectly it annoys me so much, now I just cook during my own time. He does such a good job with coping with his feelings!
id say its decent, hes trying to not care what i can see in the vid. i bet he will beat ocd when hes older
Love how despite being frustrated with his sister he still genuinely says loving remarks, very well raised guy
0:11 when you die in fortnite to a kid then they proceed to donkey laugh on you.
Lol
Your kids are amazing!!! I love these videos! So precious!🤍🤍🤍
1:00 was the end of the world as we know it!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 awesome and beautiful kids! Abigail is so precious!
Oh, my goodness, Rafael is the best! He reminds me of my son, a bit. Way to go, managing the stress, dude!
I'm a woman in her 50s, and I see so much of myself in Rafael. To me, he's just a perfectionist and I totally understand his being upset. Funny thing is, my sister, who's a trauma counselor, said to me recently, "You're OCD." I thought it was funny and just brushed it off. Could I really be OCD? Maybe that's why I'm such a good news editor.
Well, do you think you're gonna die if you don't do some things your brain wants you to do ? Or your familly is gonna die ? Or something terrible will happen ? If so, you have ocd. It's not just like "Oh, I like perfect things." You can have ocd and be messy, too. You can be a perfectionist and not have ocd.
That’s not ocd
I'VE BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS SEQUEL FOR YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you guys!!!!!
when the baby reacted to the broken crayon I wonder if she learned to be dramatic about it from her brother. Seemed like a learned response. This is fascinating, thanks so much for sharing they are adorable kids!
It's hard to see how catastrophic little things are to him. He's being taught good coping/self-soothing skills 💖
Watching this video helps because I also have ocd as well . I can't really explain what ocd feels like but I can tell you this . It's like when you have an itch on your skin you keep scratching it but it comes back. I'm happy that I'm not alone
yo, i dont see anything wrong here.
this is a normal emotionally invested child,
smart and empathatic.
I was diagnosed with OCD since my teenage. Spent my whole life fighting OCD. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Imagine having half of this kid's self control at his age!!
I absolutely love Rafael! At tender of five, he is fiercely quoteworthy. Just a few examples:
"What, is it hard boiled?" (referring to an egg) He is incredibly observant.
"I made a zombie". (I personally just love plots involving Zombies)
"Don't give her another one." (she's gonna break it)
"It's a beautiful de-design". He is trying sooooo hard to be nice to his baby sister.
He is possibly more thoughtful and considerate than most adults.
