    "you're not my shadow, you're your own light" 😭 this made me tear up. What an amazing role model you are for your children. The world would be a better place if more children were raised the way you are raising yours ❤️

      EQ It’s not a real thing. He will find fulfillment in doing things, not achieve in. You’re assuming that your experience in feelings and how things are converted is the only correct experience . That’s the problem

You can keep repeating that EQ isn't a real thing if it makes you feel better, but EQ is a real thing no matter how many times you keep repeating that it's not. Seriously get some help.

    I think this is a new generation perfect representation- a very young boy who is smart/ intelligent/ you can see his brain is working fast but also repeating like a machine exactly what he has seen on the internet f. e on youtube - interviews with some famous people, popstars, or instagram shorts, Facebook reels etc.
    The way he is explaing himself is like a copy paste of what we can see on the internet. Executed with precision and perfect memory but still the content of what an adult said.
    Kids are like sponges they see hear and memorize- esp this new gen.
    To me it is both a little scary and also interesting ( as a new characteristic).
    Howevet the concept of talking to yr child is funny to watch. Overall I like Valeria and her content so it is also pleasant to watch this episode.

    Good grief, he looks just like you...
    But seriously, the dynamic you two have is similar to my own dynamic with my 12 year old daughter. On weekends, we read classic literature to each other. We're currently reading through Plutarch's Lives. We both love it, and it's an excuse to have Daddy-Daughter time.
    Also, the way you listen to your son is top-notch. Excellent discussion.

    Honestly, one of the best podcasts you've done! I'm going to save it and will probably rewatch it many-many times! Your son is amazing and so wise for his age! You are doing a fabulous work as parents! He said so many meaningful things that can become like proverbs of life, but the way and the attitude he said it with makes it settle down and help to process so easily (like easy, not psychologically complex, language and such great examples)! And that mutual respect that you have for each other is so much admirable! OMG, I can go on and on and on! But it just this interview impressed me so much and definitely left its mark. In my head I was like: "Okay, I'm ready for my next move - to have my first-born baby, and now I know that the energy and everything that I will give to my baby, all this hard work, will pay off! And my baby will be successful and confident!" Thank you so much for this great video and Jake!

    Jake opened up to me as a very mature person, knowing what he is good at, what he likes and doesn’t like, very gentle with his words when speaking to you making sure his words won’t offend neither you nor Papa.
    Honestly before that I didn’t see such a depth in Jake but now I am just sure that he is a great kid and really lucky to be a part of your family.
    Sending love to all of you❤ *and waiting for the video with the boys Valeria, don’t keep it to yourself😂😁🙏

  • @DalidaD
    @DalidaD 3 місяці тому +20

    Hm… I liked the interview but I just had a gut feeling that discussing life’s big problems at this level to an 11 year old child might be too burdensome. I specifically mean asking him all the time what did they learn from every experience. I could tell he really tried to answer on the same level of knowledge but the experience is not necessarily there, nevertheless he wanted to please. He is an absolute smart darling, that is for sure. I fee that if I had children I would talk openly with them as well but maybe explain to them in easier to understand terms with examples what I mean rather than talking to them as if I was talking to an adult friend only because they are not yet adults with all the life experience we have.
