Shocked! Poor child, kids can be so cruel! Those kids have mean parents! You are are great dad, fixing her hair & being positive, giving encouragement! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Nice to see you Matt so sorry Eva has been picked upon at School shame on their parents for bringing them up like that. She is so beautiful and has a terrific personality and singing voice ❤️🌹
Thank you for sharing this story. I have been a fan of you for a long time. I’m a native of Ningbo and now live in Texas. I have a son of the same age as Eva. What you did to cheer her up after the incident (is bully a more appropriate word?) is amazing. What is even better is she has done the same to you. Besides boosting one’s confidence, this is a great way to strengthen the bond among family members and appreciate each other. Hope to see more updates on your channel.
@@JaYoeNation Texas is not bad. We are in Houston and it is very diverse. They say 1 in 4 Houstonians were born outside the country. Every kid is playing some sports, be it soccer, baseball, football, tennis, basketball, swimming, field hockey, you name it. Lots of good Chinese restaurants here. Let me know when you get down here
Aww..I can totally relate. Being discriminated against growing up in United States during the 80s. Eventually I became a good observer and found some good friends from other minority communities. Glad you are there to guide her. Hope Eva can find good friends and stay away from those who are mean to her. Best regards to Annie.
The affirmations that Eva and you did on the bathroom mirror and shower glass were very great! ❤ That kid at lunch was being racist! Poor Eva. Have you tried to report that incident to the principal? Please do. I hope she or any other kids won't have to go through that again.
Hi Matt, My son had a simular thing happen in elementry school, fortunately I think most kids grow more accepting as they get to middle school and beyond. In Highschool he had a guy mock him for dying his hair black (he obviously doesn't), he just laughed and replied " Dude I'm Chinese, think about it!" (he's also white, so it isn't always apparent)
On a funnier note, when my son was about 8 years old, in one of his first Cub Scout meetings he had to make a calendar to track healthy eating habits. One of the other kids finished early and asked, "what do I do now?" The Den leader jokingly said now do it in Chinese! I always took him to meetings so I'm sure he had no Idea my son's ethnicity. I was sitting in the back of the room, and about 5 minutes later I hear the Den leader say to my son "What is that?" He said it's my calendar. "yes, but what are the squiggly lines?" My son said "that's Chinese, you said do it in Chinese!" Funny thing is he had just learned days & numbers in Chinese school that week!
Matt, your sunny outlook is a lighthouse in this fog of despair. Now, let's crank up that van and wheel that trike into the great wide open - they're starting to sprout fuzz.
Matt, my wife and I know exactly what you and your family have just gone through. We experienced the same thing several times over the years from adults who taught their children the same truly racist attitude they have as bullies. We experienced this behavior in California and still do as it is a learned behavior. You did well with your child. Wish you well my friend.
Bullying and Racism starts at a younger age. Hmm wonder where these kids get that from. Apple does not fall far from the tree. Hopefully these kids grows up to learn good things at school.
I know it's easy to say: But you can't run away from your problems. I am not perfect either.....but the thought of seeing a kid run away from kids who make fun of them because of their ethnicity might start a bad lifelong habit.
Good story. I think what you should teach her is that she should be proud of being half Chinese. I think we Chinese are neither superior nor inferior to any race in the world!
@@JaYoeNation Thanks for your response. Your answer is much better than mine. Yes, we should be proud of who we are and also people should learn from each other instead of demeanizing each other, in this way the world will be much better.
Sorry your daughter was teased, that's awful. I don't get it. We just moved our kids from China to the U.S., and the experience has been 100% positive and accepting for them. We moved them out of China because they were too strongly discriminated against there.
Not being funny but the US is what’s causing disunity in the world by demonising such as China. The Chinese people aren’t ignorant and stupid. The demonising doesn’t differentiate between non political Chinese citizens and the CCP., though why the US can’t just accept when it comes to ideologies there’re different strokes for different folks I don’t know. But then US does like creating disunity and conflict. Just in case you think what do I know, my great grandson of 16 months (UK English, of Celt and Viking blood) lives in Beijing, my grandson and granddaughter in-law, say speak the native language and you can conquer most things, and I agree. Cultural understanding is different to interpretation🤔

That's a great way to motivate a kid❤❤❤
Thanks Matt for sharing, this is so inspiring.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your idea with the mirror. Sending hugs for Eva. Cheers from Australia.
I bet the mean girl doesn't have a mirror like this at her house.
It's actually sad when you think about it.
I love this! Thanks for sharing this.

The affirmations that Eva and you did on the bathroom mirror and shower glass were very great! ❤

If you ever do quit this UA-cam gig.....please say goodbye.

some people are just plain ignorant

Sucks the kids did that but awesome of you to give her the confidence boost. She's a great kid
Matt, your sunny outlook is a lighthouse in this fog of despair. Now, let's crank up that van and wheel that trike into the great wide open - they're starting to sprout fuzz.
YESSSSS!
Good idea. Self confidence is so important and will be a continuous struggle for life, so good to develop some tools early
yea.. it was good for vocabulary and a fun project to build some self confidence.
Great
It is good to see you. I was getting worried. JaYoe Nation viewers love Eva and Annie
thanks for that.. yea i have been gone for a while... but not forever...
Thanks for the idea
Ningbo in the hawse!!!
awesome..你好！

yea... i mean... how do you raise your kids to be that way? but you know.. sometime kids have their clique and outsiders are not welcome.. i guess...

I like your house layout. It’s great 👍 May I ask which states or city you are in ? 3:15 wow what a great dad!
we are in southeast michigan.l
Thank you for your reply! I’m in Sydney AU. The most of the house layouts in Australia are not smart. Lol @@JaYoeNation
Sorry to hear about Eva😢 She’s very beautiful (I saw her and your family in Cancun). Have you considered switching to a different school?
HEY! a friend from Cancun! so cool. yea... the school is great overall and they handled the situation well...
I know it's easy to say: But you can't run away from your problems.
I am not perfect either.....but the thought of seeing a kid run away from kids who make fun of them because of their ethnicity might start a bad lifelong habit.
Oooh no. She stood up for herself. Then she went to the principal and reported it and they all talked it out.
Haven’t seen u updated any videos and was wondering where you have been, good to see a new video from u
yup... still breathing
GUYS PLEASE HELP ME IM BEEN ABUSED BY MY PARENT!😢
Good story. I think what you should teach her is that she should be proud of being half Chinese. I think we Chinese are neither superior nor inferior to any race in the world!
i tell her she should be proud of who she is... as we all should be for the most part.. she loves china.. and also loves america...
@@JaYoeNation Thanks for your response. Your answer is much better than mine. Yes, we should be proud of who we are and also people should learn from each other instead of demeanizing each other, in this way the world will be much better.
Long time no see.we just come back from China and Taiwan

Hope all is well mate..

Hey Stranger!
Hey Back!
Matt, do not give up on the pig tails. Braiding is an art . There should be some help on YOUTube. Good to see you.
haha yea.. youtube helped me with the french braids
So, you are in US?
yea... still here in the states

you never know who you are going to interact with... most people are good... and even in this case it was probably just ignorance and youth.
Not surprised with current America.
