I think you should take away his iPod for two weeks, he should respect adults, have respect for the teacher, he should apologize to her. I have been watching you for a while and I noticed they have no manners and respect for you guys 😮
The boys, in this case Craig, need to understand that in a family there are roles. For children it’s going to school, learning, be respectful, disciplined etc. When we fail to comply there are consequences/ penalties. In this case: he needs to understand violence is not a problem solving method, apologize to the teacher and have his most favorite gadget withheld for a week. It’s time for a family meeting where they echo what it means to them having this opportunity and what would happen if they no longer have this new way of life. Sending positive vibrations. I am rooting for this family❤
I already warn you as an American myself when you go to a country with people of a different culture especially if they were not raised a certain way, you took on this responsibilities with these children good luck. They will never understand America's soft discipline. Tougher love works for them.
I think you should take away all his gadgets, and also have him apologize to the teacher, I raised two boys, they are now grown men and serving their country, I use to discipline them when needed and it pays off.
First, let me say thank you Tyler for your candidness. I think you had a lot to get off your chest and the garden was the right place to do it. This is a message to Craig: At no time should you allow anyone or anything to "draw you out". Having control of oneself is a MUST. Your actions can have irrepairable damages & consequences. Listen to Tyler when he tells you, it is not right to hit a female, in any instance or circumstance. You have to learn to walk away. It's best you learn that from now before you become an adult and the punishment will be far worse than having your ipad or electronics taken away. That girl who you said hit you first may be having struggles at home & is bringing it to school. You have your own struggles as well (as we the subscribers know & sympathize with you & brothers). As you are becoming a young man, this is the time to start thinking of the kind of future you would like to have. Tyler & Sonia, I really hope the family counseling & individual counseling for the boys starts sooner rather than later. Tyler, for someone like you who is very goal oriented, I hate to tell you, when it comes to children, the fruits of your labor takes years to come to fruition. That may be the frustration you are feeling right now. It's been a while now that the boys have been living with you & Sonia and there doesn't really seem to be much improvement (in your eyes and some of the viewers). I think now is the time to enforce the house rules & expectations. When I saw craig riding his bike, I thought to myself, shouldn't he be home doing chores & not having fun? I know everybody parents differently, however, he should be home doing extra chores like helping you paint that part of the house that you said you've been putting off. Lastly, I think Craig should write a letter to the girl he fought with, the teacher he disrespected, the principal, you & Sonia. And, definitely no allowance for that week. Fighting is a no-no. If he's being bullied by that girl or anyone in school he should go through the proper channels. (i.e. teacher or principal). It's late in the school year but maybe he could transfer to another school this upcoming August or September. Sometimes a fresh start is needed. Sorry for the long message. Oh I forgot, you alluded to some of Sonia's kids who may be struggling at this time maybe financially. Not everyone is taught financial literacy, so them having you in their lives for a significant period of time, did they show any interest in learning? Or, were they not interested? I'm just curious since you were able to help your students gain knowledge of the stock market and win those competitions.
Appreciate the response. A mixed bag with Sonias kids...those that showed some interest are definitely doing better than those that didn't...you can bring a horse to water...
@@fireandirie It's so funny, I was thinking just that. Definitely can't make them drink. Well, don't let that stress you out, especially Sonia. Adulting is not easy, eventually they'll find their way.
@@ladyJ_000 can you imagine are they related to Sonia?or they just neighbors children i know two live with them,can you imagine if ppl around us help one child like sonia and Tyler Jamaica would be a better ppl.
Don't give up on them please I know it's hard but remember they weren't brought up properly. I have seen children with major issues turn around they just need love and patients
I 💯 agreed that the boys should call her auntie. I am kinda shocked 😲 because in Jamaica if someone is grown up you don't call by their name without putting something in front of their name. Maybe times have changed
I agree w some of the comments but b4 he apologize it should go on record if as he says the female hit him first someone should let that female know she does not have a right to put her hand on any person that’s called battery and she’s liable However violence never solve anything. Yes he needs to understand to respect adults and those in authority Sonia yiu need to have a talk w all the boys to let them know ow going forward they need to call you aunty Sonia as you are their guardian and you don’t appreciate them calling you Sonia as it does not show respect coming from them I have more to say but I’ll stop here
Typical Jamaican school day. But there are consequences to our actions . So sorry Craig just remember this Jamaican saying. Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me. So when them call you yam head bedda just laugh an say I would eat piece a yam right now. Don't let that bother you one bit. 🤔🤐
My husband and I use to sit down with the kids every month and talk about how to be better parents and how they can be better kids by expressing our feelings, and what is expected of them and what to do and not do and things we will not Ben on, and you will have those feelings Tyler because even we who have kids go through those moments and I think you should speak to them by expressing how feeling so they can understand the sacrifices you and Sonia is making, in your case you should be doing this talk every two weeks, I always say providing for the kids wasn’t the harder part but it was the talking, you doing great this is a challenge
I know it might sound crazy or even scary but some times a little shock therapy might work. You and Sonia take a 2 can take week break to yourselves to give them the time to think and reflect about how lucky are to have you and Sonia and how much of an importance you are for them. Hopefully they realize what the are missing out on is important for them. I can tell they enjoy living with you guys but they just don’t yet understand how to show empathy and respect. I know the longer they live with you it will start to grow on them and they will learn. Until then much love I enjoy every vid!!
what is the reason for Craig joining the Cadet Core? No allowance for him this week, and anything he wants his allowance must provide. All of his time must be spent on school work. Going to games arcade encourages gambling, which is now a big problem in school.
I feel.you both have to start the discipline at home . They boys speak to both of you any how and there are no consequences. You said you wanted them to be good citizens, and so they need training. If they can speak to you as if they are speaking to their peers . They will also try it with adults outside the home. Bedtime must be set. The living room is not the bedroom .stop them them from lying in the chairs they don't respect their environment. I understand that they are coming from an environment that had no boundaries. However, this is not what you and Sonia really wanted . Please think about this situation and seek solutions . I really feeling it for you both
Life is uncertain … live in every moment .. enjoy what’s before you and give thanks for what has already been . Speak words of progress and positivity into your future and the future of those children … discipline them and erase the doubt . Life is a journey… trust the process … God’s process .. he’s in control 🙏🏽
Teach them, Tyler. Bully from men/boys to women/girls seem to be normal in Jamaica. I must say though that schools districts in America are telling children to defend themselves against bullies.
The children need to learn respect snd manners at home so they will know how to behave outside the home. It shows that you and Sonia both love the boys but they need strict didcipline. I hope you all figure it out. Blessings
Tyler, I felt so sad hearing you speak about the challenges you and Sonia is facing with the boys. These kids are really broken and they need counseling. Their Father passing away and their Mother not involved in their lives. I truly believe they need professional help. Is there any resources that is available in your community that you can reach out to?.
They came to Mr. T and Ms Sonia when they were already set in their ways. Look at Mahrez and Andre. We need to bend the tree when it's young..Hopefully, with time, things will get better. Stay strong T&S❤
Don't take it away. Do something around the yard with him, and at the same time talk to him about what he did was wrong at the time you're sharing a very special moment with him something he will never forget.
Jennifer typing happy you retire and come to Jamaica to help with those boys,sonia is a very humble lady as well you both were made for each other,i see it all the best in my very beautiful parish
Sit him down and talk with him, remember children will trouble him as well,let them attend Sabbath school or Sunday school i know that will help to guide them tru, you and sonia doing a great job
I think you take away one of the things he like the best for awhile. Tyler I like your story, just be patience and let them know that you both are in charge. These young ones will always be a challenge, since you did not raise them from birth. You have to let them know that there are "cause and effect" to their misbehavior. Tyler hang in there and keep the faith, things will work out.
Hi Fire and Irie family, Tyler at least the girls (chicken) don't talk back and very appreciative of their blessings. The boys (children) on the other hand is challenging. But I fear the alternative for them because they really don't know how bless they are. Tyler thank God you have the girls and the garden for your therapy. Listening to you I can tell you like challenges, and have accomplished a lot. Tyler please write that book, and the title should be "Dubitare" Can I ask you a question can the boys goes into counseling if they haven't already done so? Tyler you and Sonia are doing your best in this situation don't feel guilty. The bottom line Tyler, you and Sonia have to do what is best for you both. There is no question that you love your wife ❤ blessings. Thanks for the emotional vlog.
@@fireandirie Thanks Tyler for answering my question. I guess my expectations where counseling is concerned here and over there is not the same, but it did help me and my children. I admire your coping mechanism you talk to things just like me. Before I retired I used to work in a big Hospital and in my office the girls usually let new hire know i talk to objects and gives them names lol we are quite normal.
It seems like the boys really don't know what they have and maybe you guys really need to sit down and have a serious conversation with them about it. Put things on the line and clear so they can think about it. Then make a decision and move on with your lives. You two are too young to be stalled like this. You could share your knowledge and experience with others that want it and then maybe you will feel some accomplishments or sense of purpose.
I grew up w HTB and that’s a good price for the large one 56oz over here they sell for $19 USD that’s about $9USD from the price you showed what a b linking they are making in the US105% markup
Your interaction with Craig……back in the day there used to be a cartoon in the newspaper, don’t remember the name, but whenever the main character would get frustrated, he always thought (and I’m not advocating this)….urge to kill…..just remembering. Tyler God bless you & Sonia. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Tyler I really really enjoyed your story so fulfilling and just goes to show you that you can accomplish what you set your aspirations against so why don’t you find a school and a group of children you can work with do see if you can make these things happen. Not saying don’t give this foster thing a chance but I wouldn’t want to invest my time into something or something that don’t appreciate it and see the light at the end I believed you have a lot more to offer so go for it I migrated to the US from Jamaica over 30 years ago+ so I know the opportunities and resources that are hear to take advantage of so live your dream of helping others and be maybe it’s more than fostering
I would love to see Tyler replicating that program he created in Hawaii with some students. I don't think stocks & investing are taught often enough in schools especially at such a young age.
Hey Irie family's let him do chores around the house for two weeks write apology to the Teacher and the student never hit a girl or woman no time walk away from trouble just show him to love ladies not to fight them. he is sorry that why he cried but don't take away his device don't just my opinion tell them we love u boys so u want the best of them ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, an apology is warranted, however, let him articulate it to the teacher and your household. I noticed that you're very patient and the boys misinterpreted your decision for not being insultive
Hi Tyler, those boys needed discipline they got no manners the way how they speak to you and Sonia, you need to let them address you properly by calling you Aunt and Uncle it doesn't sound or look good in people eyes hearing a child address an adult by their first name without putting Mr or Mrs on it,
Tyler, it is a hard call when Craig was technically acting in self-defense but made matters worse by disrespecting the teacher. In a country where a lack of conflict resolution skills fuels a large domestic abuse problem, resulting in very skewed murder statistics, you still cannot lose sight of the first rule, men do not hit women. Punishment for his behavior and the taking away of his electronics for some time is all good, but you also have to instill in him that not all conflicts can be solved by 'hitting' back. The school has done you and Craig disfavor by focusing on the teacher and Craig and not bringing in the girl bullying him to also let them come to some form of understanding. Hope it all works out okay.
Very true in all aspects...though Craig does like to tell somewhat distorted versions of happenings, and has done so on several occasions, that paints him as the victim. I was more disappointed with him not stopping the name calling when the teacher had told him to do so than the hitting portion of it. Always an adventure one way or another...we'll see how it goes. Enjoy the afternoon! =)
Good afternoon 😊 did u all ask creg if he realy dis the teacher. did not any here the girl hit him first why is u all coming down on him. Wat do u expect of these boys. Why should he be punished he did not start it
So we've talked with Craig and he has a tendency to exaggerate his innocence when he's done something wrong...plenty of examples in the past to refer to, in this case it wasn't the hitting part the teacher wrote him up for but the name calling that he continued after the teacher requested he stopped. Working on it slowly but surely.
Tyler seems to do all of the teaching and corrective discipline to poor behaviour.. as these are Sonia’s grandchildren, she must take more of an active role of discipline and teach the children respect and consequences. Perhaps she does, however, Tyler seems to be the one we constantly see doing all the work on camera. Kudos to you sir!
@ladyJ_000...Craig, Dave & Junior are not Sonia's grandchildren. I think Tyler said she knew their father (the one who passed). Little Mahrez is her grandson.
@@ladyJ_000 ... Craig, Dave & Junior are brothers and yes, their father just passed. Tyler said Sonia knew their father from when she was living in Jamaica years ago, however, she is not related to him or the boys. I could be wrong. Maybe Tyler will clarify here.
I am the mother of a young boy child,he should apologize to the teacher he's not to put his hands on ladies, and that young girl need to know not to put her hands on any one either they tend to take advantage of the saying that boys not to hit girls, that doesn't give them the right to going around picking on the boys. She also need to be send to the principal office as well!
@fireandirie As far as most of the comments go everyone is talking about discipline and respect which I support but before you even get there. Do you have enough knowledge and understanding of what these boys may have gone through up to this point in their lives? It takes a lot of patience to undo trauma, plus they are in a new family setting where they are automatically expected to "fall in line" . Can you imagine some of the doubts and confusion in their own minds? You exhibit such patience Tyler you're already doing a great job. Maybe a one away day with Craig alone would be helpful. Take him to the beach just you and him and see if you can get into his head more. Take off your teacher hat but use the natural instincts that you have. Probe more How he feels, what he wants, what are his fears and anxieties. It sounds contradictory but maybe he's fearful that he will lose this family as well and is acting out. Some one on one attention away may be helpful. Don't doubt what you're doing. It comes from a place of love which is always the answer. And that my friend is your new challenge.
I think you should take away his iPod for two weeks, he should respect adults, have respect for the teacher, he should apologize to her. I have been watching you for a while and I noticed they have no manners and respect for you guys 😮

I'm not too bothered by that part, but the teacher telling me he was told to stop with the name calling and didn't is what bothers me most.
Typical Jamaican school day.
But there are consequences to our actions .
So sorry Craig just remember this Jamaican saying.
Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me.

Teach them, Tyler. Bully from men/boys to women/girls seem to be normal in Jamaica. I must say though that schools districts in America are telling children to defend themselves against bullies.
I don't have to eat Easter Bun . it is super expensive on Amazon and stores here.
Ha, me neither...🤣
The children need to learn respect snd manners at home so they will know how to behave outside the home. It shows that you and Sonia both love the boys but they need strict didcipline. I hope you all figure it out. Blessings
You have had so much success as a teacher. Why not start a private school in that area, I think it would be a success.

Not saying don’t give this foster thing a chance but I wouldn’t want to invest my time into something or something that don’t appreciate it and see the light at the end
I believed you have a lot more to offer so go for it
I migrated to the US from Jamaica over 30 years ago+ so I know the opportunities and resources that are hear to take advantage of so live your dream of helping others and be maybe it’s more than fostering
I would love to see Tyler replicating that program he created in Hawaii with some students. I don't think stocks & investing are taught often enough in schools especially at such a young age.
We're on the waitlist for adopting a little one, so really hopeful for that and we'll see what we can do with these boys for now.😎🤙
Was the girl's parents called to the principal's office to have a meeting as well? I sincerely hope so.
he should have let the teacher no that he is sorry for not listening gòd bless you guys and give all the patience with boys

Apparently not...🤷♂️
Hey Irie family's let him do chores around the house for two weeks write apology to the Teacher and the student never hit a girl or woman no time walk away from trouble just show him to love ladies not to fight them. he is sorry that why he cried but don't take away his device don't just my opinion tell them we love u boys so u want the best of them ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, an apology is warranted, however, let him articulate it to the teacher and your household. I noticed that you're very patient and the boys misinterpreted your decision for not being insultive
Buy the one with less ingredients
Jennifer typing you really need a car trust me praying you get one soon
Summers coming!
Talk to him and give him a chance because the girl started it
Hi Tyler, those boys needed discipline they got no manners the way how they speak to you and Sonia, you need to let them address you properly by calling you Aunt and Uncle it doesn't sound or look good in people eyes hearing a child address an adult by their first name without putting Mr or Mrs on it,
Tyler, it is a hard call when Craig was technically acting in self-defense but made matters worse by disrespecting the teacher. In a country where a lack of conflict resolution skills fuels a large domestic abuse problem, resulting in very skewed murder statistics, you still cannot lose sight of the first rule, men do not hit women. Punishment for his behavior and the taking away of his electronics for some time is all good, but you also have to instill in him that not all conflicts can be solved by 'hitting' back. The school has done you and Craig disfavor by focusing on the teacher and Craig and not bringing in the girl bullying him to also let them come to some form of understanding. Hope it all works out okay.
Very true in all aspects...though Craig does like to tell somewhat distorted versions of happenings, and has done so on several occasions, that paints him as the victim. I was more disappointed with him not stopping the name calling when the teacher had told him to do so than the hitting portion of it. Always an adventure one way or another...we'll see how it goes. Enjoy the afternoon! =)
Wow , my favorite boy get into trouble next time he need to speak up
Jennifer typing Greg dont talk to you guys good.
These modern day children are a trying bunch
I love you both soni is more like me i bet she's a cancer ♋️
Ha, she's an Aquarius. 🥰
Good afternoon 😊 did u all ask creg if he realy dis the teacher. did not any here the girl hit him first why is u all coming down on him. Wat do u expect of these boys. Why should he be punished he did not start it
So we've talked with Craig and he has a tendency to exaggerate his innocence when he's done something wrong...plenty of examples in the past to refer to, in this case it wasn't the hitting part the teacher wrote him up for but the name calling that he continued after the teacher requested he stopped. Working on it slowly but surely.
Wat they suddenly not human
Tyler seems to do all of the teaching and corrective discipline to poor behaviour.. as these are Sonia’s grandchildren, she must take more of an active role of discipline and teach the children respect and consequences. Perhaps she does, however, Tyler seems to be the one we constantly see doing all the work on camera. Kudos to you sir!
@ladyJ_000...Craig, Dave & Junior are not Sonia's grandchildren. I think Tyler said she knew their father (the one who passed). Little Mahrez is her grandson.
Slowly but surely...
@@ListedInTheSouth I believe they are all Dave’s brother and his father passed? I think that would make them her grandkids… not sure
@@ladyJ_000 ... Craig, Dave & Junior are brothers and yes, their father just passed. Tyler said Sonia knew their father from when she was living in Jamaica years ago, however, she is not related to him or the boys. I could be wrong. Maybe Tyler will clarify here.
@@ListedInTheSouth interesting. They do not have kids together?
Thats not how to treat trouble child
They need discipline at the end of the day is u guys have them
EVERY 🎶LITTLE🎶 THING IS GONNA 🎶BE 🎶ALRIGHT 🎶STAY AS STRONG AND LOVING AS YOU ARE🙏🤝🎓🚶♂️🎓🚶♂️🎓📚🚶♂️🙏💪💪💪💪👑🔥AND👑 IRIE💘GOOD JOB $$DAVE⭐🏅⭐
💗💗💗
Teach him about Jesus and pray for Satan to leave him alone
Omg you guys shouldn't have to be taking on this sorry to say, your retired
Agree, definitely not for everyone...well see how it goes.😅
Jennifer typing realize that he dont speak to you guys properly, so you need to discipline him
Speaking is not easy for him in general...he has a lisp and really struggles articulating his thoughts, which adds to the frustration.
I am the mother of a young boy child,he should apologize to the teacher he's not to put his hands on ladies, and that young girl need to know not to put her hands on any one either they tend to take advantage of the saying that boys not to hit girls, that doesn't give them the right to going around picking on the boys.
She also need to be send to the principal office as well!
Amen!
@fireandirie As far as most of the comments go everyone is talking about discipline and respect which I support but before you even get there. Do you have enough knowledge and understanding of what these boys may have gone through up to this point in their lives? It takes a lot of patience to undo trauma, plus they are in a new family setting where they are automatically expected to "fall in line" . Can you imagine some of the doubts and confusion in their own minds? You exhibit such patience Tyler you're already doing a great job. Maybe a one away day with Craig alone would be helpful. Take him to the beach just you and him and see if you can get into his head more. Take off your teacher hat but use the natural instincts that you have. Probe more How he feels, what he wants, what are his fears and anxieties. It sounds contradictory but maybe he's fearful that he will lose this family as well and is acting out. Some one on one attention away may be helpful. Don't doubt what you're doing. It comes from a place of love which is always the answer. And that my friend is your new challenge.
