I taught my kids to put their hand on me for attention when they were in preschool. It's amazing how much peace it brings to our family. Today, even as teenagers, they still come put their hand on me to interrupt if I'm in the middle of a conversation. So respectful!
@@paulagaziero8055 Just tell them, that if they want your attention, they can ask for it by putting their hand on your arm or leg. Don't give them attention if they start whining for it (but you can say something like 'if someone wants my attention they need to put their hand on me' without looking at them). Respond quickly in the beginning, so they know that is what works and what you want. Then explain to them, at a quiet moment, that it might take a little time for you to respond when you are busy. Then gradually increase your response time. A good time to practice is when you are talking to someone.
i heard a great tip, which is, if you want to finish the sentence or something, to place your hand back 9n their hand, so the kid knows that you noticed them and will give them your attention the moment you have finished😊
I've said it once, I'll say it again! You two played a huge role in leading me back to Christ. As a mom of 3 young kids, the timely posting of your videos/podcasts has been huge for us. THANK YOU
We did a fun, lighthearted obedience game today and it lasted literally 1 minute before my sweet, but strong-willed two year old collapsed in a meltdown/tantrum 😅 we’ll keep trying…and praying!
I have definitely found that preparing my boys before something happens really helps them manage the situation well. My two year old would throw tantrums when I put him down when he was wanting to be held, but sometimes I need to use both hands for dinner. So now I tell him what I need to do, tell him I'm going to put him down for it, and then I'll pick him up again when I'm done. I say all of this while holding him. Then I can feel him letting himself out of my arms after he knows what to expect. Game changer! So many meltdowns and whining avoided with preparation. Loved this video!!
This is so good! I'm 40 with 3 kids 3-8 years old, it's so scary when I yell to them very firmly to stop when running towards a street and they don't! Why aren't parents taught these things? Thank you so much for this fun and easy way to train them! Great video!! More like this please!!
Probbaly my favorite video to date. This can literally make or break a home life & our interactions with our kids. Please bring more content like this!!!
I work with toddlers at a daycare and I do practice with them, but not often enough! It's also good to remember that there are lots of games (like red light-green light) that help teach the self control required for "stop." I think it's even better to practice this way, but it can be good to mix it up with classic games like that.
Thank you SO SO SO much for this. So many of us poor parents really have good intentions and set out to be the best parent but we were never properly "trained" ourselves. I can say this is so for myself. I have been feeling so overwhelmed with my 4 and 2 year old because the whining has begun, not listening, acting out. This is all new! Now I know they really just need trained:) It will begin today!
Your videos are helping me feel that I will have access to the tools I’ll need to be the kind of mom I’d like to be. I’m in my mid-30’s and have felt unprepared and overwhelmed to be a mom. THANK YOU!❤️🙌🏼
I took my granddaughters to a market and I told them look but do not touch unless going to buy. It was so lovely to have them follow this and the stall owners were so amazed at how they were behaved.
We are pregnant with our first and your parenting resources are such a blessing to me! I’m so grateful for your youtube, podcast, and instagram. I grew up in a very different family culture and this is helping me establish what our family culture will be now!
Wonderful parenting advice! It's so easy to focus on discipline rather than training. We've implemented a few of these games in the past but needed to be reminded of them again. Would love more practical videos like this one!
So many of us were not parented, and we are trying to end that cycle and become present parents. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I am a better mother for it. PS. My kids are also so much more secure, with nearly no meltdowns. I have three young boys.
more like this! I NEED THIS. my husband and I both had absent parents and are really struggling with our 5 and 2 year old's obedience and training and we both really enjoyed this episode.
I have a 5, 4 and 3 year old and a newborn . 2 weeks old. And my 3 year old has started acting up since I had my baby. So this definitely came at a right time. Praise God!
Wow! So refreshing seeing young parents training your kids in the right way! It keeps everyone safe, teaches obedience, respect and it's a great bonding experience. Love what you are doing. God bless. ❤❤❤
I loved every minute of this video thank you for spelling it out so clearly on how to actually practice and train our kids. PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS EXACTLY LIKE THIS! Changing the world one family at a time!
When I was a pre-k teacher I remember we had a “buckling up” game and understanding traffic rules. They loved it so much that some of them even came to me (3 year olds!) telling on their parents when they went over a red light for example. They learn so quickly.
HOW HAVE WE NOT THOUGHT OF THIS!! Please do more like this. Like examples? I shared this with my husband and we both were blown away. Each scenario you talked about (coffee, in and out of car, grocery store) are areas of high stress- and practicing expectations is a great way!
Love this! My babies almost a year and I know what I want the next couple years to look like but I couldn't see a path to get there. So appreciate you passing on yours and your parents wisdom ❤
I’m 46 and pregnant with my first and probably my only child. I’ve been wondering how I’m going to parent with all the options out there. I’m so glad I stumbled onto your video here and can’t wait to watch more of your content. This seems very reasonable and doable. Looking forward to learning more and sharing these videos with my husband. Thank you!!
This is such a wonderful advice for parents. Thank you so much! We have 3 littles 5 and under and sometimes we don’t want to go to places bc we don’t know how they’ll act 😂. This for sure is so helpful. We will be implementing this kind of teaching in our home. Thanks again!
This is the kind of video I have waited so long from you. Thank you and please make more of these. Please make videos on how to pray together as a family and how to engage them in family prayer.
Need allllllll the content like this. Praise God for both of you! Thank you for sharing this. Need as much as you can give ❤️ God is answering my recent parenting prayers through you guys
This was so helpful and practical! Would you please do a similar video on bedtime routines with kids? We have struggled with this lately. How have you handled room sharing, getting olders to not wake up the toddler who goes to bed earlier, kids not being able to fall asleep quickly so they get antsy, kids who come out from their rooms a lot, when a kid is scared etc?
Not a mom but thought this might help.. there is a lamp/clock sold for kids where the green light turns on at the hour they are allowed to leave their room. “Hatch” plays music (ocean waves, birds singing, etc.) at the time you program it to😊
Our 3 year old has a busy mind (and body) and would often struggle to settle to sleep especially if he had a quick nap in the car or something - we found audiobooks to be a gamechanger (there are lots free on spotify as podcasts). Instead of fighting us, he actually loves to get in bed with a bottle of milk (his is quite old for it but it's a relaxing part of his routine) and his stories. We generally do pjs, teeth, read a book/bible story with him (more if theres time), tuck him in then say a prayer and put on the stories/give him his milk. Also, he just knows he is not allowed to come in when I'm putting our baby to sleep or I will be very displeased!
This reminds me so much of how my parents raised us and it makes me so happy! I have a 10 month old and I am so thankful for your podcast because I remember some of the things, but your practical advice is such a blessing!
These are extremely clever & wise tips but at the same time it’s common sense, I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to start implementing these tips. I need to buy her homeschooling course!
I believe God guided me to your channel. It will help me with my parenting and my teaching to a full classroom of 8 year olds as well! Thank you thank you thank you! Keep up the great work and God bless your family.
When the glass broke at 15:20 my nerves jumped as i remember all the times I’ve taken my toddlers into the store and they’ve wanted to touch absolutely everything! Stress! Lol
Thank you for these practical suggestions for actually training our kids. I loved your podcast on the problems with Gentle Parenting. This was a great follow‐up!
This is phenomenal! I love your perspective on all of this! Building muscles in practicing! I have a 4yo and 2yo who I'm going to implement these games with. Can't wait to see all the good fruit to come!
These are awesome tips! A couple things I do with my kids is ask “where are your thumbs” which means check that their thumbs are tucked into their fingers so that they don’t touch anything in stores and we also do the “ducklings” drill where they follow behind me like little ducklings so that they don’t wander or block the entire aisle.
Thank you so much for this amazing resource ! Do you have a time in your day dedicated to drills and training or how do you make sure you take the time to do it ?
Iv been waiting for a video like this, when I saw your caption I was like okay let’s go get my notepad out and listen up lol excited to learn something from you folks!
Such great advice! Loved this. Currently pregnant with baby #9 and I found this very helpful. I’m the fifth oldest of 14 and my parents did a great job raising us in a positive environment but I haven’t been able to glean as much from them in raising my own kids because we live so far apart (we’re in Missouri and they are in western Canada). My husband only has a sister so he was raised very differently, ha! I truly appreciated this video and I’m going to get my hubby to listen to it. You guys are spot on! Keep the vids coming 😊
Hi there guys, my husband and I just found you a few weeks ago and have been loving your videos. It is so encouraging and refreshing to see the male and female Godly perspective on a lot of your topics and so we wanted to request a video on how you guys talk to your boys about purity. The fact that your kids being so YOUNG were able to open up to you guys about how they either looked away quickly or looked for a little longer when they saw those girls with little clothes was just so beautiful to us. We would love to hear how you guys plant that seed on them and present those subjects to them in this time where promiscuity is found EVERYWHERE! We would love to hear how your husband specifically is able to relate to them in that sense as well as how you play a role as their mother on relating to them afar from displaying modesty in your own home. Please and thank you! May God bless your beautiful family!! ❤
I SO wish we were neighbors! I am out here in Maryland and finding stay at home mommas that have the same values as me has been nearly impossible. So thankful that you are sharing your values. I am sure you are getting back lash but know you are putting out a lot of good. I loved your video on training to go to church. I felt so overwhelmed with my newborn and nursing that I was ready to give up. But seeing that everyone struggles and that it can get better was so encouraging.
Absolutely love this video! I don't have kids but if I did, I would absolutely practice them. You're right: practice first. We've all been on situations when you go 😳 and blank. ❤️❤️ 😊
I have 6 kids and you guys have given me some great ideas! I started off well but have kind of slacked with the younger kids so thankyou for reminding me, these are great ideas!
Thank you so much for this! Liked before even watching! I just know this will be pure gold! Nothing better than practical advice with examples! May God continue blessing your family !
Love this! Omigosh as a kid I had no idea what my parents expected I wanted to be a good kid and I was to a degree as well as I could without proper guidance from them they were very reactionary. I wouldn't say I'm so much acted out but I didn't do well in school even though I wanted to I didn't have guidance in my schooling and my parents didn't know how to give me tools to learn in my own way
Sooo thankful for y’all & for the parents who raised y’all! Thankful to God, the relationship he had in helping both sets of parents raise the both of y’all. To God be the glory! Y’all are a huge blessing!
I am so grateful for y’all!!! Thank you for sharing these amazing exercises and activities for our families! My daughter is under one year old, and I am excited to do these things with her as she grows!
You guys are my absolute favorite! Totally unrelated to this video, but Katie, I would LOVE to see more content about how you live such a productive life in your home. You mentioned in past videos that friends will ask you to meet up for a park play date and you’re like, “How do people have time for this?!” And I just want to live such a full, productive life at HOME. Currently I find myself just so bored and I have three very young kids (and just found out I’m pregnant with our fourth). How could I bored?! I would just love to watch and learn from your content about what you do all day to stay busy. Thanks!
i am now realizing how i \messed up\ . I will pray to the Lord he will help me install those rules and fix the mistakes. Your channel has changed my life for the better and i want to thank you so much
I remember the interview you did with your mom and she talked about establishing a quiet time in the house and practicing shaking peoples hands, and parking lots are DANGEROUS! I really get so much out of videos like these.. Please keep them coming!
Thanks so much for making these types of videos! I've been wanting to find something on trying your kids from parents who are doing it well and from a Christian perspective🙏🏻
We have 4 kiddos, but there is a 5yr gap btwn the first two and younger two. So ages are 9,7,2, and1. We currently implement some of these ideas, but I am really excited to implement more. You all have been blessed with wisdom beyond your years and experience. I'm grateful you followed God's leading. Your podcast and channel are such a blessing. Your story about "move to the side" for when you're in the store is so similar to what we do as a family, but we call it "duck line". 😂 I got the idea once when I was reading an older story called "Make Way for Ducklings" to my older two kiddos. It turns heads when we are in public (which was not my intention), but it is amazing to watch my kids morph into a single file line and move through public places.
I'm one year behind you!! Mine are 8, 6, 1 and 4 months. We make a train to get them to move in a single line in public 😂😂 I love seeing my older kids happy to get on board with silly things like that. It's also such a blessing to feel like we have a second chance to be better parents to our second two - my husband and I didn't come to Christ until 2019-2020, so our older two didn't have much training. By the Lord's grace they're still wonderful kids and receptive to biblical training.
@@threearrows2248 welcome to the family of Christ where Grace and mercy are abundant. ❤️ Even as "older" child of God, I totally agree about the feelings of failure and second chances with my kiddos. It's been a rollercoaster. I just have to keep giving God thanks for these gifts, and pray over them constantly.
Thank you so much for this. Growing up I was never taught or shown positive reinforcement. It was always so negative and I don’t want that for my kids & sometimes I just don’t know the right way to go about the situations.
love the ending 😂🤪 as a newly married couple with two under 2 this is 100% bringing hope into our journey as per seek the Lord in Biblical parenting. thank you for this type of content!
You are a lovely couple who were both born into big families. What a labor of love your parents chose and you as well. ❤️ I really enjoyed the social training sessions you hold in private. I wish I would have practiced those skills. I only had one son and he was a self willed child. There were many many challenges. He has some real positive aspects to him but still making not so good decisions. Please make petition for my dear Josh.🙏
Wow thank you so much for this I can't wait to start implicating some of these with my kids! Maybe everything lol !! Plus it's also bonding time, having fun and giving them positive attention while child training so it's a win win!
Such interesting ideas that I haven't heard talked about before. Thank you for sharing. Would be helpful if you could specify what age each activity was able to be learned.
This is great!!! I have done some of these but the conversation game is genius. My kids have the hardest time carrying conversations and looking at people when talking. I’m definitely going to try that. ❤ thank you
I don't know if you already discussed this in another video (and if you have I would love to know which one so I can listen to it), but I would love to hear a video from you two talking about the difference between being an "authoritative parent" and being "authoritarian" in parenting. As is always the underlying foundation of your talks, to also include what the Word of God teaches in regards to these concepts.
I taught my kids to put their hand on me for attention when they were in preschool. It's amazing how much peace it brings to our family. Today, even as teenagers, they still come put their hand on me to interrupt if I'm in the middle of a conversation. So respectful!
I'm 25 and I still do this with my mom! It's a great Montessori technique!
How did you teach them to do that?
@@paulagaziero8055 Just tell them, that if they want your attention, they can ask for it by putting their hand on your arm or leg.

@@nynkeandreae7008thank you! I super need to do this!
i heard a great tip, which is, if you want to finish the sentence or something, to place your hand back 9n their hand, so the kid knows that you noticed them and will give them your attention the moment you have finished😊
I've said it once, I'll say it again! You two played a huge role in leading me back to Christ. As a mom of 3 young kids, the timely posting of your videos/podcasts has been huge for us. THANK YOU

How amazing!
Wow! Thank you so much for this comment! Praise the Lord!
Probably the most important component of a properly functioning family is the dynamic between mom and dad.
We did a fun, lighthearted obedience game today and it lasted literally 1 minute before my sweet, but strong-willed two year old collapsed in a meltdown/tantrum 😅 we’ll keep trying…and praying!

Sooo thankful for y’all & for the parents who raised y’all! Thankful to God, the relationship he had in helping both sets of parents raise the both of y’all. To God be the glory! Y’all are a huge blessing!
Epic!!! Yes! This is what all families need! Thank you!!!
I am so grateful for y’all!!! Thank you for sharing these amazing exercises and activities for our families! My daughter is under one year old, and I am excited to do these things with her as she grows!
Great video with applicable tips!
You guys are my absolute favorite! Totally unrelated to this video, but Katie, I would LOVE to see more content about how you live such a productive life in your home. You mentioned in past videos that friends will ask you to meet up for a park play date and you’re like, “How do people have time for this?!” And I just want to live such a full, productive life at HOME. Currently I find myself just so bored and I have three very young kids (and just found out I’m pregnant with our fourth). How could I bored?! I would just love to watch and learn from your content about what you do all day to stay busy. Thanks!
i am now realizing how i \messed up\ . I will pray to the Lord he will help me install those rules and fix the mistakes. Your channel has changed my life for the better and i want to thank you so much
I remember the interview you did with your mom and she talked about establishing a quiet time in the house and practicing shaking peoples hands, and parking lots are DANGEROUS! I really get so much out of videos like these.. Please keep them coming!
Do you remember which one it was? I haven't made it threw them all yet. What did that look like for her?
No I can’t remember which video it was sorry
Wow this video is mind blowing! So helpful! Thankyou for sharing!
Thanks so much for making these types of videos! I've been wanting to find something on trying your kids from parents who are doing it well and from a Christian perspective🙏🏻
We have 4 kiddos, but there is a 5yr gap btwn the first two and younger two. So ages are 9,7,2, and1. We currently implement some of these ideas, but I am really excited to implement more. You all have been blessed with wisdom beyond your years and experience. I'm grateful you followed God's leading. Your podcast and channel are such a blessing.
Your story about "move to the side" for when you're in the store is so similar to what we do as a family, but we call it "duck line". 😂 I got the idea once when I was reading an older story called "Make Way for Ducklings" to my older two kiddos. It turns heads when we are in public (which was not my intention), but it is amazing to watch my kids morph into a single file line and move through public places.
I'm one year behind you!! Mine are 8, 6, 1 and 4 months. We make a train to get them to move in a single line in public 😂😂 I love seeing my older kids happy to get on board with silly things like that. It's also such a blessing to feel like we have a second chance to be better parents to our second two - my husband and I didn't come to Christ until 2019-2020, so our older two didn't have much training. By the Lord's grace they're still wonderful kids and receptive to biblical training.
@@threearrows2248 welcome to the family of Christ where Grace and mercy are abundant. ❤️ Even as "older" child of God, I totally agree about the feelings of failure and second chances with my kiddos. It's been a rollercoaster. I just have to keep giving God thanks for these gifts, and pray over them constantly.
@@ericaparsons8354 🤗🤗 amen! And having a second chance with these baby snuggles is the best 😊
I love how practical this is! More like this please!!
Thank you so much for these tips and tricks!! Our first baby girl is almost 30 months and I am 30 weeks pregnant with our second baby girl🎉😊🙏😇
Thank you so much for this. Growing up I was never taught or shown positive reinforcement. It was always so negative and I don’t want that for my kids & sometimes I just don’t know the right way to go about the situations.
Thank you both for this video! I love the practical tips. It’s exactly what my husband and I are needing with our 3 year old right now. God bless!
Wow! You guys are just so full of knowledge. Thank you for this video, I will be implementing this right away. I love listening to you guys.
I am SO excited to watch this today! God bless you guys ❤I love this channel ❤
Love this tips! Definitely useful!
love the ending 😂🤪 as a newly married couple with two under 2 this is 100% bringing hope into our journey as per seek the Lord in Biblical parenting. thank you for this type of content!
You are a lovely couple who were both born into big families. What a labor of love your parents chose and you as well. ❤️
I really enjoyed the social training sessions you hold in private. I wish I would have practiced those skills. I only had one son and he was a self willed child. There were many many challenges. He has some real positive aspects to him but still making not so good decisions. Please make petition for my dear Josh.🙏
Great ideas! I’d love more just like them, especially for toddlers.
Wow thank you so much for this I can't wait to start implicating some of these with my kids! Maybe everything lol !! Plus it's also bonding time, having fun and giving them positive attention while child training so it's a win win!
Similar to hands in the pocket, at the grocery store my mom always had us keep a hand on the shopping cart.
This was great! So encouraging. My son is extremely hyper and this could be very helpful for all of us.
You guys are such a blessing! Thank you for your videos!
These are amazing tips! I am definitely going to implement these in our home because we are struggle with all of these
Such interesting ideas that I haven't heard talked about before. Thank you for sharing.
Would be helpful if you could specify what age each activity was able to be learned.
This is great!!! I have done some of these but the conversation game is genius. My kids have the hardest time carrying conversations and looking at people when talking. I’m definitely going to try that. ❤ thank you
I love this !!! such great ideas i will definitely implement them !!
Thank you so much for this!
How do you use positive reinforcement at dinner time? That is our hardest time of the day!
I don't know if you already discussed this in another video (and if you have I would love to know which one so I can listen to it), but I would love to hear a video from you two talking about the difference between being an "authoritative parent" and being "authoritarian" in parenting. As is always the underlying foundation of your talks, to also include what the Word of God teaches in regards to these concepts.
Can't thank you enough for these tips.
Thank you so much for this video! We appreciate y’all SO much!
Super inspiring content! thank you
