WAIT PARENTS ENCOURAGE CHILDREN TO TAKE BREAKS I THOUGHT I JUST HAD TO RELENTLESSLY WORK MYSELF DEAD????? that's so cool?????? i love these videos. so educational to watch how your littles learn/how you teach.
Was Jessica ever an educator like outside of just homeschooling her kids?? She is the most perfect teacher. Kids need a Jessica in their classroom lol. She’s so beautiful, unstoppable, smart, kind, generous, strong. Wonder Woman 👑
Yeah the way Jessica talks to her children, like cheering them on and just trying to understand them also reminds me of Colleen to Flynn. Let’s just say I love their family’s way of raising kids, they’re all gonna become such loving and amazing people.
How is it that every single one of these children are beautiful both inside and out. They’re absolutely gorgeous all of them, but their temperament and just their personalities are so down to earth it’s so nice
I love that Duncan didn’t want to stop learning, he’s very passionate about it. That’s the cutest and coolest thing to see. Mom knows best though, breaks are definitely important. 💖💖
make a parenting book😅 i’ve NEVER seen kids as smart and kind as yours. i’m going to be so disappointed in myself if my kids don’t come out like yours😂
Yes I need a parent book 101 my daughter is the same age as parker and my son is the same age as luke I feel like I'm failing 🥺🥺 but I'm trying my daughter was just diagnosed with ADHD last month and she's way behind in reading and writing but she's very creative
It’s all about being kind and loving yourself. Your kids will mirror you! Be a better person and watch your kids become good people. ❤️ no parenting book will teach you how to do it, you just gotta figure it out on your own.
You’ve been my favorite family channel for over 5 years now because you’re so REAL! You don’t try to sell an image of a flawless family. You’re fun and relatable.
Grandpa Tim making that powerpoint storybook for the kids is the sweetest thing in the world. Thank you for sharing your family with us, these vlogs are helping me so much during this time. Sending love ❤️
I love the calm morning routine. When my kids were so little it was always a rush to get out the door to daycare and then to work on time. You guys are truly blessed to be home with them.
Video summary - Luke is growing up so fast, Jessica is great at homeschooling, Bailey has a really cool shirt and loves learning about everything, Parker can crochet hair extensions, Duncan is cute as ever and is doing a great job learning how to read, it’s raining tacos, Jacob randomly lost a tooth and Chris can read Dr Seuss super fast without getting tongue tied
My son, Lex, is in the story class with Parker and they have really become such good friends. It’s such a wonderful class! And I also wanted to say we use All About Reading and it has been such a wonderful program and Lex has done so well with it. So interesting to see what works for each child.
@@giannaschrader9620 yes, in the online read aloud story class. We didn’t even know they were a UA-cam family until Parker mentioned it in class one day.
@@giannaschrader9620 not really. I’m new to the UA-cam channel so haven’t watched that much but Parker seems pretty much the same. And my son is a lot like him so they get along really well!
This is the family I aspire to have one day. Caring, loving, always looking out for each other, and just making the best out of every situation. You guys inspire me, for around 6 years now.
it’s so odd how I literally watched all your kids grow to be the kindest welcoming and sweetest kids ever. it feels like just yesterday Bailey was eating sand with Colleen at the beach, Jake was cooking with Miranda, Parker had a meltdown about the pumpkin spice latte, Duncan was first learning to walk and little Luke was just born. god time goes by fast.
Can’t give enough props to jess & chris and the entire Ballinger family. This video really made me acknowledge all the sacrifices dedicated parenting takes. The scheduling, the cooking, the time management, the cleaning, the responsibilities, the quality time , the learning incentives, gosh!! It’s unreal!! Im just so glad that there are parents that are willing to do all of this for their kids. I am certain they will be so grateful for the family they’ve been blessed with❤️❤️
Id love to hear Jessica talk about her breastfeeding journeys like she did with her deliveries. Tips, tricks, her preferences, things she learned from each child, things like that.
I just recently found your channel. I’ve always been skeptical of family vlog channels, but I must say this is so impressive. The kindness all of you radiate and the well-roundedness of your children are just so incredible. I hope one day I am able to replicate this connectedness with my family when I have children. I just love you guys so much!
I love watching you working with Duncan. It was magical watching him learn and him coming to a realization of what he was reading. I found it so delightful seeing his lightbulb of life brightening. He’s such a wonder.
I stumbled upon this channel only last year, because Colleen mentioned it. I've been watching her videos on and off for years, I have no idea how I didn't know about you guys! Your videos are a ray of sunshine during this difficult time. When I'm stressed out I binge watch your videos and immediately feel better.
I had watched their videos before , but I didn't who there were and then I watching one of Colleen's vlogs and she was talking about them and now I a huge fan.
Duncan is doing so well with his reading. My dear friend was chief librarian at our main children's library. Every couple of months, she would bring a pile of books for my daughter who became an avid reader. I always loved the time spent reading bedtime stories. It's such a great bonding time. Luke is really progressing well. He's such a happy little chap. Your vlogs are great inspiration for home schoolers.
This makes my heart burst guys! Watching Duncan (or any child) learn to sound out those words and read on their own. I should’ve been a reading specialist 🤔🥰
I love this and this channel cause so many family bloggers try to just be aesthetically pleasing and it’s so frustrating cause I know those aren’t real. Props for being REAL ♥️♥️
Omg Chris' dad is soo invested in his grandchildren. I absolutely love that during this pandemic theyve made "story time" an investment. Also well done doing a powerpoint I think Duncan would have been real happy.
Goodnight Mom was a staple in our nighttime routine. However, Spoon was my son's favorite. When he got a little older he loved Iggy Peck, Architect and the rest of that series.
Chris, Jessica and Luke spending time in the morning was so adorable! Especially Jessica and Luke reading together, Chris going "nose!" when Luke poked his nose, and asking Luke "how's the sausage today, sir?"
You really raise your kids right! Their so sweet and special. As someone who grew up with family problems, I'm so happy that your making sure your children have a good childhood and are happy and healthy and beautiful ❤
i cant get over how much i love each member of this family! everyone is so smart, kind, funny, beautiful and more. christopher and jessica are genuinly two of the best parents ever
As an Australian when you said Bailey picked up the snake, I freaked out! We are taught from a very young age to stay away because they're mostly venomous here but that snake was so cute :) Love you guys and the way you parent your wonderful kids!
My dad read me those exact Chronicles of Narnia books (same covers etc) when I was little, then we read them again when we were in junior high. My dad passed away when I was 15. Just seeing them made me tear up. Love your sweet family.
The peaceful and happy vibe of your days whilst your kids are learning is something I strive to make for my kids in the future🤞🏼A totally different education experience to what I had. Amazing parents!
These kids are the sweetest kindest children you have ever seen thank gosh they keep having kids the world need more great humans that have loving personality’s like them love this family and your family like mom dad brother and sister your all amazing people all of u guys keep making babies u make amazing kids such sweet Hart’s
A good idea with jars, if you are short on space, screw the lids underneath a kitchen cabinet. Fill the jar with things like sugar, salt or spices and then screw the jars onto their lids.
omg literally started tearing up when you were reading "the runaway bunny." that was my grandma's favorite story to read me when i was little and i loved it so so much.
Luke is absolutely adorable (as are all your kids). The more I watch him, it's hard for me to believe he will have any issues. It's wonderful how all his siblings dote on him. He will do well because he will always want to keep up with everyone. Keep loving and encouraging him. God has great things planned for him.
How in the world does she have the patience!? I babysit 2 kids and its soo hard to make sure they're both entertained and paid attention to! I couldn't imagine homeschooling on top of that! She is seriously such a special woman! And Chris is a special man!
My son is 14 days younger than Luke so I always take note of anything I can learn from you! I love your kids so I'd be thrilled for my son to mirror your kids' behavior 💗
I have to say, I really appreciate the bug and snake warnings! It’s such a small but considerate thing. The critters don’t bother me, but I’m very sensitive to any talk about harm to animals and I just feel safe knowing that would never be a trigger on your channel.
Duncan is such a good little reader!!!!!!!! Y'all should be super proud! (I am sure you are more than proud). I just couldn't believe how well he is doing with his phonics. GREAT JOB Duncan!!!!!!
I love seeing Chris do so much for the kids almost always it’s the mom doing everything and running around he’s dad of the year every year he’s such a great father and more men should try to keep up with him!! They make a great team and raise amazing kiddos!!
I just got this book for my nanny boy it’s called “ABCs of kindness” by Samantha Berger and it is the sweetest thing and there is so much diversity in it I love it. Just letting you know in case you would wanna get it for the kiddos :)
Luke looks so much like Christopher, while simultaneously looking like his brothers. Like Jacob very much resembles Jessica’s Dad, while Parker very much resembles The Ballinger side. Yet they all look alike. Genetics are wild.
I was worried about teaching my kids to read and write since I have dyslexia. I have control with many aspects of it. I know for instance that I always need to read instructions like manuals or recipes twice or more to get the full point. And I realized that I tend to switch letters or turn them in opposite direction when Im tired. So I learned work on reading and writing in the morning. Between 8 and 11. When my brain was at it's fullest capacity. It became harder when they started school and I went back to work part time. I would go to work at 8 after I dropped them at school would get off around noon in time to pick up my kindergarten kids my twins. Then I would help them with homework or working on reading or writing until the other kids off school at 3:00. Then we would pick up the other 3 kids have a snack then onto homework until I started dinner. And usually my brain would be spent. So for the 3 grade school kids would hold off on reading and writing homework until after dinner when their Dad could help them. I love books and reading. And if it something I love I can read and comprehend it easily. But stuff I don't like or don't enjoy I tend to need to read and re read it a few times to grasp it. Thankfully my husband fully understands my learning disability. And he is willing to help the kids with stuff when I knew my brain would and could mess it up. Unfortunately both my boys inherited dyslexia to. But it was good I understood the struggles they felt. And thankfully I knew my husband since we met in junior high school. So he saw my struggles first hand. No he didn't understand how it felt. Or how things looked threw my brain. But he saw how hard it was at the time. Thankfully I got me a good one. He was able to see he was attracted to me, but he also saw I wasn't just the dumb girl at school. That was the way a lot of classmates saw me. Keep plugging away with Jacob on practicing his reading and writing. It will only help him in the long run.
I love and appreciate you pointed out every child learns differently. You actually seem to be a wonderful and patient teacher. P.S. Taco tray is a great tip. Thanks!
CHRISTOPHER,YOURE A GENIUS!!!! We eat tacos on a almost weekly basis and are forever grumbling about how they don't want to stay upright and not spill everywhere. And the couple of times I've looked taco holders quickly they all were way too expensive for what they are. Youve just found my son a job while he's watching the taco shells in the oven!!!!! Pure genius,no otherway to describe that Christopher,GENIUS!!!!
I really appreciate that you let us know that you will be showing things that could potentially be disturbing. Personally, I love snakes and bugs but there are other things that I am extremely I comfortable with. So knowing that there are people who be sure to keep everyone happy and comfortable really makes me happy
I didn't know I could get so attached to a baby/toddler thru youtube! I am sure many others agree that watching your pregnancy journey, especially this time around, was both exciting and nerve-wracking but thank you so much for sharing your adventure with him. You have the cutest kids and Luke just fits in so we'll. LOL putting the wipe in your tea - yum!!!!
Y’all are an amazing family! So positive and uplifting! The kids are so fortunate to have such hands on parents just as the parents are fortunate to have such smart, kind, and awesome kids! Thank you Bailey for being so compassionate and saving the snake! Poor thing was trying to get across or off the road! Very fascinating creatures as all of God’s creatures are! You rock! Love from my home to yours!💜💜💕💕💕💕💕
I loved your Day in the Life w/FIVE KIDS! It's amazing how you all function as one cohesive family when there are so many of you! Jessica - The 'mum hacks' you have (such as keeping the masks in a tissue box for the car) are so inspiring. Christopher - The 'cooking hacks' (such as dicing an onion, putting spinach in with the ground beef and cutting up the taco box to keep the shells upright) were so awesome. Bailey - Did I see you catching a snake? How brave are you? Lovely piano playing too, by the way. Jake - Fancy losing a tooth after having just gone to the orthodontist! Your French toast with strawberry glaze sounds amazing. I would love it if you could share the recipe with us all. Parker - Good trampolining! I could totally see you at the olympics! What happens in your acting classes? Duncan - You're so lucky to have your Dad read you such a classic like 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' and 'Prince Caspian'. Your time with your grandparents over Zoom(?) was so cute. Luke - Good brushing of your mum's and your own hair! What a cool dude! Thanks for the feel-good vlog, Ballinger Family! Kind regards, Lisa ☺️
I really Enjoy watching your family videos! Your all so kind and seeing the love and respect you all have for each other makes my heart happy! God Bless!!🙏🏼⚘
Jessica.... to remove labels from jars, Mix Backing Soda and Olive oil, just enough to make a watery paste 🤷♀️ take off as much as u can of the label don’t stress... rub onto the jar, let sit for half hour then wipe of with a scratchy sponge, comes off completely 😊😊😊
I love you so much. You guys are the sweetest kindest most caring amazing family. Thank you for all the work you guys put into your videos. You guys are the best. And I cannot thank you enough for how much you have benefited my life. So excited to watch
When I taught autistic support I bought multi layer puzzles like the one Duncan was playing with and I put the puzzle pieces in a zip lock bag and labeled it. Just a suggestion to help you guys keep track of your puzzle pieces 🙂
The fact that Duncan is so articulate at 3 years old is crazy!
I think it’s a mix of being naturally smart and having big siblings to learn from

Amazing parents. Great teachers, great team, great family.

Yes, Jessica I agree with you. I want every kid to know how amazing reading is 😆, and we all learn differently. I feel the same about music!

So for the 3 grade school kids would hold off on reading and writing homework until after dinner when their Dad could help them. I love books and reading. And if it something I love I can read and comprehend it easily. But stuff I don't like or don't enjoy I tend to need to read and re read it a few times to grasp it. Thankfully my husband fully understands my learning disability. And he is willing to help the kids with stuff when I knew my brain would and could mess it up. Unfortunately both my boys inherited dyslexia to. But it was good I understood the struggles they felt. And thankfully I knew my husband since we met in junior high school. So he saw my struggles first hand. No he didn't understand how it felt. Or how things looked threw my brain. But he saw how hard it was at the time. Thankfully I got me a good one. He was able to see he was attracted to me, but he also saw I wasn't just the dumb girl at school. That was the way a lot of classmates saw me. Keep plugging away with Jacob on practicing his reading and writing. It will only help him in the long run.
Duncan is so freaking smart i can't!!!
I love and appreciate you pointed out every child learns differently. You actually seem to be a wonderful and patient teacher. P.S. Taco tray is a great tip. Thanks!
Can’t believe they’re having another
CHRISTOPHER,YOURE A GENIUS!!!! We eat tacos on a almost weekly basis and are forever grumbling about how they don't want to stay upright and not spill everywhere. And the couple of times I've looked taco holders quickly they all were way too expensive for what they are. Youve just found my son a job while he's watching the taco shells in the oven!!!!! Pure genius,no otherway to describe that Christopher,GENIUS!!!!
I really appreciate that you let us know that you will be showing things that could potentially be disturbing. Personally, I love snakes and bugs but there are other things that I am extremely I comfortable with. So knowing that there are people who be sure to keep everyone happy and comfortable really makes me happy
The kids are so smart and kind. The parents are radiant and amazing! I love this family💕
Such a beautiful family! Duncan is reading so well , and only 3 years old ❤️
I didn't know I could get so attached to a baby/toddler thru youtube! I am sure many others agree that watching your pregnancy journey, especially this time around, was both exciting and nerve-wracking but thank you so much for sharing your adventure with him. You have the cutest kids and Luke just fits in so we'll. LOL putting the wipe in your tea - yum!!!!
Aww it's sweet to wake up to a smiling baby who's so happy to see you. Brings back memories, my 'baby's' 33yrs old now! lol
Everyone is getting so big! I’m impressed with Duncan’s reading!
Y’all are an amazing family! So positive and uplifting! The kids are so fortunate to have such hands on parents just as the parents are fortunate to have such smart, kind, and awesome kids! Thank you Bailey for being so compassionate and saving the snake! Poor thing was trying to get across or off the road! Very fascinating creatures as all of God’s creatures are! You rock! Love from my home to yours!💜💜💕💕💕💕💕
I loved your Day in the Life w/FIVE KIDS!
It's amazing how you all function as one cohesive family when there are so many of you!
Jessica - The 'mum hacks' you have (such as keeping the masks in a tissue box for the car) are so inspiring.
Christopher - The 'cooking hacks' (such as dicing an onion, putting spinach in with the ground beef and cutting up the taco box to keep the shells upright) were so awesome.
Bailey - Did I see you catching a snake? How brave are you? Lovely piano playing too, by the way.
Jake - Fancy losing a tooth after having just gone to the orthodontist! Your French toast with strawberry glaze sounds amazing. I would love it if you could share the recipe with us all.
Parker - Good trampolining! I could totally see you at the olympics! What happens in your acting classes?
Duncan - You're so lucky to have your Dad read you such a classic like 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' and 'Prince Caspian'. Your time with your grandparents over Zoom(?) was so cute.
Luke - Good brushing of your mum's and your own hair! What a cool dude!
Thanks for the feel-good vlog, Ballinger Family!
Kind regards,
Lisa ☺️
I really Enjoy watching your family videos! Your all so kind and seeing the love and respect you all have for each other makes my heart happy! God Bless!!🙏🏼⚘
I didn’t think it was possible to get this much done in a day
Jessica.... to remove labels from jars, Mix Backing Soda and Olive oil, just enough to make a watery paste 🤷♀️ take off as much as u can of the label don’t stress... rub onto the jar, let sit for half hour then wipe of with a scratchy sponge, comes off completely 😊😊😊
Omg I've been off of UA-cam for a while so I missed a couple of things.. but woah! Duncan is a whole new person😱
He's so big!!!
I love you so much. You guys are the sweetest kindest most caring amazing family. Thank you for all the work you guys put into your videos. You guys are the best. And I cannot thank you enough for how much you have benefited my life. So excited to watch
Precious! ❤️❤️❤️ I love all of you Ballingers! Colleen, Rachel, you guys! Love you!
the coffee montages was low key satisfying
When I taught autistic support I bought multi layer puzzles like the one Duncan was playing with and I put the puzzle pieces in a zip lock bag and labeled it. Just a suggestion to help you guys keep track of your puzzle pieces 🙂
Christopher, the Taco dance montage reminded me of the old Sushi Dance parties!! Loved this video :D
Duncan's reading is so good! and he communicates very well!
these are gonna be the absolute best family memories one day. so amazing
