Karma Kids

No words 😢

Would you take this one month challenge?

1 month. No yelling. If I yell $5 goes to the one yelled at. No joke, 10 min after I filmed this I had to pay up… It’s going to be a rough, but worthwhile month 🤘🏻💀❤️ • Full kid interview and video on my YouTube channel at the link in the bio. • #fatherhood #parenting #challenge

This is worth watching…and most of us probably wouldn’t even consider that yelling!

The Impact of Yelling on Children: Building a Positive Educational Environment 🌱 Hello, everyone! Today, we’ll explore how children’s reaction to yelling influences their education and how one can respond to those situations. 1. Sensitivity to Criticism: Children are sensitive to harsh criticism. Instead of yelling, let’s encourage open dialogue to address undesirable behaviors. 2. Fear and Anxiety: Yelling can instill fear and anxiety in children. It’s essential to create an environment where they feel safe expressing their thoughts and emotions. 3. Positive Communication: Instead of yelling, let’s opt for positive communication. Expressing ourselves respectfully fosters a healthy relationship between parents, teachers, and children. 4. Modeling Behavior: Children often imitate what they see. Modeling calm and respectful behavior teaches them to handle conflicts constructively. 5. Emotional Support: After a yelling episode, providing emotional support is crucial. Discussing what happened and how they could approach situations differently in the future strengthens their emotional development.

No smart phones or tablets for our kids around here. Our world is such a fast track to everything that strips childhood magic away. Not only does screen time inhibit brain development, but there is also so much out there that they don’t need in their brain. In our home, we let them explore childhood with freedom from devices. As parents, and in our home as believers, it’s our job to help our kids navigate this world to create habits that help them learn to honor God. But it’s so easy to lean on screen time to help entertain our kids. It’s easy to let them watch movies, play games, scroll, etc especially when it’s so addictive. In our family we have made the choice to not have any screens available except the tv with our children and they only use it for family movie nights or for movies when we are sick. Even though it is hard, sometimes it is helpful to not even have it as on option. But if screen time is already thing, how do you minimize screen time? Here are some helpful tips- 1- Model it: minimize your own screen time. Kids will do what they see modeled. Create screen free areas in your home! Bedrooms, dinner table, etc. 2- Accountability- set out boundaries. For example 1 hour of screen time a day. Many devices have settings to set limits. Set expectations and don’t change them. 3- Go slowly. If you are using screen time a lot as an entertainment tool, start by slowly weaning down. If you aren’t going to quit cold turkey, you HAVE to stay accountable or it’s easy to slip back into habits. 4- Engage: interact face to face with your child. Play with them, read to them. Play games, do crafts! There is SO much life beyond screens. 5- Instruct: teach your kids to play independently. At first it might be really hard as screen time us very addictive! But you will be surprised at how creative and imaginative your kids are when not behind a screen. Be clear on the boundaries and don’t budge with whining. 6- Go outside! My favorite! Kids should spend so much time outside. There is so much imagination and opportunity for play outside!

My heart is breaking

Classic baby sleep position - butt in the air like you just don’t care ❤️🙂

Isn’t this beautiful 🙏

We don’t want to live in a state of fear and distrust but please be mindful with our precious children.

Stop leaving your children with boyfriends you hardly even know "Mothers, I am talking to you directly now - please stop leaving your children with boyfriends you hardly even know"

Pets & kids ❤️ When we first got our dog Lucy our neighbours child was terrified of her - 2 years on little miss F introduces herself as Lucy’s trainer ❤️

Babies sculpture / with direct usb ports 🙁

Ask. Assess. Act

If you want a calm child - be calm 😎
One of the most important quotes I heard early in my career was “bring the child into your calm. Don’t join them in their chaos” 🙏
