Let me show you the way to Jesus! In a whisper because only Jesus can save your ass now. I was out with friends and my friends brother was acting a fool. His mama smiled at all the ladies in the group and said those words to her son. I was standing right next to them and heard what she whispered. I thought um I dont even want to mess with her. One kid had kept saying to her mama I need to go to the bathroom. Her reply you didn't need to 2 minutes ago and unless you want the trots like that little boy you better behave and wait.
What about syllable spankings? I (whack) told (whack) you (whack) to (whack) get (whack) down(whack)! My parents had a paddle that said, "To heck with psychology!"
My Mom had every look and whisper, absolutely perfected! LOL 😆 Especially during Church events. Wow! I truly do miss her. ❤ There's not a single day which goes by that our beautiful and loving Mother isn't thought about or deeply missedI
Y’all I am a yeller of a type of parent. We had weather to open windows and I sent a goodie bag with muffins and a letter apologizing to my neighbors “If you hear me use a crazy mama voice just know I told my family 5 times nicely first. The kids are fine. Promise.” Got a couple of text laughing but I swear I know they hear me and they too get off the darn couch.
elisebean1 exactly what I was thinking. That be the kids with no discipline! When u just gotta 1,2, and the kid knows that’s when u know u doing it right. Lol My daughter is 3 and I’m like 1,2 and she’s already know lol
Engage the child where she is, while she is in that mood, and do what you can do to help her negotiate it. Do not expect from your child a level of maturity that she does not possess. You are the parent. Be the big person. 😘😘😘
Lessons In Life thanks I needed to hear that. Sometimes I have too many expectations for the lil ones😩 I’m learning how to be the bigger person as I am 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾
Just my opinion but there's a time and place for yelling and a time and place for whispering I whisper or talk normally the first few times I asked him to do something then after that it's time for the voice to get raise a little bit and if it is at a point of yelling somebody's ass is in trouble.
Lol oddly enough the yell usually comes first my house the whisper means I'm about to go to jail and the kids usually put up and shut up when I get to staring and whispering
My mother's Nigerian and in church she'd do what I call, the "silent twist" maneuver to which she would whisper in my ear and pinch and twist my side. Lord knows if shrieked from the pain, It be more trouble for me Shaped me to learn quick & fast not to act up😂😂
I work with school children and they have selective hearing, sometimes you got to raise your voice not to demean them, but they literally will tune you out or act as if they can't hear you. You'll be trying to get your attention, and the more you try to get their attention the louder they get.
My sister and I experienced all of those growing up as a kid. Oh, and don't let me have to call your first name, middle name and last name or if I have to tell you a third time ... you just knew you were in deep trouble. The funny thing is we use those same methods of discipline on our kids as well...generation after generation. 😂😂😂😊 If it ain't broke don't fix it. Go with what works. 😂😂😂😊😊😊
My brothers and I were talking about this over Christmas. LOL. We used to call it my mother's evil eye. Act up somewhere like church or in the doctor's office and you would start crying when she looked at you because you knew what going to happen once you got home. She never open her mouth but she gave you the evil eye
I had to introduce my 1 yr old to the clenched teeth whisper at church Easter Sunday. I had to add a firm squeeze to his arm to add emphasis to my point but we made it through the whole service with no problems.
My big sister is the one that always sets me straight. She does that deadly whisper and that silent mouthing 😂 And if anyone but my sister does the whisper I just say “cho breath stink” (even when I'm not in trouble 😂)
Yes, I yell. Not to be abusive, but to get the point across. It put the fear of God into me as a child and I survived. I got my booty whipped. I survived and mine will too. I learned respect via an Agner belt lol!!
The other day I saw a mother in a shop with her kid and her kid was pulling her hair and slapping her whilst she ‘used reason and logic’ with it. Stupid generation will win stupid prizes. Nothing wrong with good old fashioned discipline.
Its a balance... Yell when you need to and whisper (mild statement) when needed. I yell and whisper (talk to them and not at them). Its a balance. Ive seen kids who get yelled at all the time and that is the only way they understand or take things seriously. Ive also learned that if you do not show them the harshness. Life is gonna eat them alive bc they are gonna think or perceive this is how it is suppose to be in the world. Its balance. A false balnace is an abomination but a just weigh... Be blessed all!!!
I do all of those with my kids and by them being special needs on different levels they all understand me and get me and people be wondering what I'm doing to them or saying to they cause they can't hear me
Soooooo true!!! I don’t have a physically loud voice, I have paralyzed vocal chords actually so I cannot yell very loudly at all. With the kids in my life, I whisper and get even quieter. Works every single time. And “that look” is ever so effective as well. Of course yelling works, too, but a whisper quiet yet stern voice and the look....bingo!!! My mama yelled, my mama was quiet, and she definitely got that look....whispering was most effective for me. Just saying.
I’m thinking he knows my mom, that was her in church. When it’s bad, her line was “you just wait until I tell your dad when he gets home”. My dad was the worst with the look, or just cleaning his throat, I’d straighten up so fast!
The whispered threats are the most effective...Mainly because it gives the parent plausible deniability. At least that's what my childhood buddies's mother always said. She was a great lady.
I had my son when I was 15 I'm 28 now when I was 20 I master the art of the whisper and now at 28 I'm a master at the stair down and the mouthing get your ass off the arm of my couch lol
O boy, my momma used all of that on me and now am a momma I use them too on my daughter and she gets the message father than I did when I was little.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I laughed because I experienced all of them & the consequences.
Me too 😂😂😂😂
Exactly not cause it's witty or funny he still stuck in def comedy jam style comedy ..." women be shoppiiinnng " 🙄 my girl funnier than this cornball
Balkan parents dont even look at you they go straight to the shoe or the belt
Lord, I remember the squint. That means you need contact yo next of kin😂😂
Connie Avant ROTF....my mama, too!
I can totally relate ,my mom has successfully delivered all three
We don't deserve this man y'all 👏
Real talk
My sister would ask her kids if they wanna use the bathroom 😂😂😂
When they’re out n they know what that means and they’d just behave 😂😂😂

Temi David 😂😂😂😂

Lol
Oh lol I do same 😂😂😂😂

True that...
Alex Skywalker yesss!

How does Steve know my mother?🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
😄😄😄😄😎😎
Steve knows all our mothers Lol!
Lmao I was like “when did my mom learn engr”
English
That clinched teeth😁🤣🤣😂.. I love u steve❤️
Nora Ako facts
Lol aint it
Steve, my mother did all of that! And it was VERY EFFECTIVE! Mama even carried a paint paddle in her pocket book in the store in case we misbehaved!
My grandmother gave us a look!
When you get that long stare! Its because she's trying to decide between the big kitchen spoon or the homemade paddle.
Hahaha true!
What about syllable spankings? I (whack) told (whack) you (whack) to (whack) get (whack) down(whack)! My parents had a paddle that said, "To heck with psychology!"
I’d use both
Sometimes she has to cool off before she beats you because if she does she could really hurt u!
My mom balls up her eyes....from this 😑to👀....scariest stuff ever no words needed 😂
Respect 4 Steve Harvey
Me too
OMG so true!!!!
When you get that long stare... you already know what's going to happen lol.... 🤣😂🤣😄😃
You know you gotta get your act together real quick!😅
Lol. Even the silent eye-pop!
My Mom had every look and whisper, absolutely perfected!
LOL 😆 Especially during Church events.
Wow! I truly do miss her. ❤
There's not a single day which goes by that our beautiful and loving Mother isn't thought about or deeply missedI

As a teacher I love the look lol....it workshop even the baddest kids. Sometimes it'll be a staring contest but I always win
Y’all I am a yeller of a type of parent. We had weather to open windows and I sent a goodie bag with muffins and a letter apologizing to my neighbors
“If you hear me use a crazy mama voice just know I told my family 5 times nicely first. The kids are fine. Promise.”
Got a couple of text laughing but I swear I know they hear me and they too get off the darn couch.
as asian, hanger, sandals, belt, and mosquito racket delivers the rage better than it should. Kinda universal language for us.
hahahhaha yes!!!
I got the eyes and silent mouthing in church all the time😂😂
The long look was done in 90's, yelling up loud was done in early 2000 now parents whisper to their children
And the whispers are only sweet nothings
All it took was a LOOK for me and I was straight 😂😂😂😂😂
To me yelling or whispering does not matter. Its what you say that has the real effect.
Get out of here
elisebean1 exactly what I was thinking. That be the kids with no discipline! When u just gotta 1,2, and the kid knows that’s when u know u doing it right. Lol My daughter is 3 and I’m like 1,2 and she’s already know lol
That's how Indian moms work.. omfg.I died laughing. That's the best one steve !!!💓
This guy is a living meme
I love him!!!
I can so relate to this, cause I can remember all of them and the beating that followed when the message was ignored
The old adage comes to mind . . .
Spare the rod . . .
Stay blessed Mr Hightower 🙏
😂😂😂 best advice. My aunty told me the same a few years ago. I still yell but once i whisper they move
I ❤️ Steve Harvey. He’s hilarious!🤣
Engage the child where she is, while she is in that mood, and do what you can do to help her negotiate it. Do not expect from your child a level of maturity that she does not possess. You are the parent. Be the big person. 😘😘😘

oreemmanuel ooooo Haitians do the same thing. It is the worst! Makes you want to cry right then and there.
Steve is bringing back horrific memories for some folks! Flashbacks! 😁
Steeeeeeve....you are right on point
Lmfaoooo I'm working with kids everyday and I should say I don't yell but always being pacific. Our mamas are the greatest teachers of the earth
Pacific? Lord Jesus.
The last one.... particularly common amongst African mother... it’s called the ‘one time mention name’... all my momma had to do was say Tega!
My mother would say your first middle and last name with the Dead Eye stare. Worked every time

The long look with a squint is a personal favourite. It works all the time.
My man Steve🔥

So so so true!!!
Thank you mr. H... Your description is literally my Mom's description. The best moms :)
Yeah I got the look!
Powerful parenting tips steve.highly appreciated.
So true🤣
💯correct
I had to introduce my 1 yr old to the clenched teeth whisper at church Easter Sunday. I had to add a firm squeeze to his arm to add emphasis to my point but we made it through the whole service with no problems.
Also, when they "appear" calm and say...OK...that means run
... run for your life
Behavior management strategies I’ll use in my classroom 🤗
Those are all of me with my children.
My big sister is the one that always sets me straight. She does that deadly whisper and that silent mouthing 😂
And if anyone but my sister does the whisper I just say “cho breath stink” (even when I'm not in trouble 😂)
This was absolutely funny 🤣🤣🤣
Yoo! Steve hit this one dead on! 😂😂
Yeeeeeees Steve. Yeeeeeeeees. Omg. This is so me.
I swear i just got the worst flashbacks of my life with these aha. Truly very effective
Boy, when my dad whispered my whole spine would lock up sh*t so scary 🤣
Experienced every one of them from my grandmother...
Yeahhh Uncle Steve it’s all that
The suit and shirt priceless
this is so true
I used some of these in my classroom.
In our house that’s NORMAL to yelling and the tightness of the teeth UNCLE STEVE THATS SO TRUE Ha Ha
Yes, I yell. Not to be abusive, but to get the point across. It put the fear of God into me as a child and I survived. I got my booty whipped. I survived and mine will too. I learned respect via an Agner belt lol!!
Lol I love to clench teeth you funny Steve Harvey God bless you brother
1:50 Paddington knows it as a "hard stare" when people have forgotten their manners.
The other day I saw a mother in a shop with her kid and her kid was pulling her hair and slapping her whilst she ‘used reason and logic’ with it. Stupid generation will win stupid prizes. Nothing wrong with good old fashioned discipline.
One day I wish to see “Steve and Marjorie show”
My mom doesn't squint...she stares then opens her eyes real wide and gives a death stare XD

True
You know you were raised by a black mama when... Yes lawd!!😝😅
I do all of those with my kids and by them being special needs on different levels they all understand me and get me and people be wondering what I'm doing to them or saying to they cause they can't hear me
Sooo true

When I start whispering at my boys they. Think I’m crazy lol 😂
😂😂😂😂facts
all classic mother moves
My childhood!🤷🏽♀️😂
Some of them know what's waiting for them when they get home...lol
Yep I have officially effectively done all of those
My mom never hit me, my dad did, but I was more scared of the mom voice because I didn't know what to expect from her like I did my dad. Lol 😂
I’m thinking he knows my mom, that was her in church. When it’s bad, her line was “you just wait until I tell your dad when he gets home”. My dad was the worst with the look, or just cleaning his throat, I’d straighten up so fast!
BEEN THERE! HAD THAT DONE!! LOL MAMA!!
This is so true I got all three and my mother eyes scare me
The whispered threats are the most effective...Mainly because it gives the parent plausible deniability. At least that's what my childhood buddies's mother always said. She was a great lady.
😂😂Steve sound like he took some ass whoopins for the team
Father's shout, mother whispers 😅😅😅😅😅
I had my son when I was 15 I'm 28 now when I was 20 I master the art of the whisper and now at 28 I'm a master at the stair down and the mouthing get your ass off the arm of my couch lol
The squint is that “ wait til we leave here or wait til we get home look”
They call me the whisper mom😂😂😂
You go how the ocean moves,
You know what's effective? At any volume of voice, when your parents call out your entire government name
Have gone through all with beating from rulers,hand , kitchen utensils
That death stare though I even get them to stop crying with that stare 🤣
Oh Steve you should do a special on Irish Mothers. We are a law onto ourselves.
O boy, my momma used all of that on me and now am a momma I use them too on my daughter and she gets the message father than I did when I was little.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's hot outside🌄T-side😜
Lawd if this aint the truth🤣🤚🤣
