How to raise successful women | Real Talk With my Mom!

Welcome back to my channel! In this episode I am joined by a special guest... my mom! When my mom appeared on my instagram when she visited me in Boston, the same question kept popping up throughout my DMs "Please ask your mom to do a video on how to raise successful children". I never really thought about this topic before but when the question flooded my instagram, I decided to start this important conversation with her. She was hesitant because she is not as comfortable speaking in English (it's her second language and she came to the US as an adult) but she had A LOT to say so I think you'll find this episode to be a true representation of my mama: honest, funny and with a lot of perspective. Hope you enjoy it!

As a Mexican immigrant, I completely understand. The standards were sky high and I'm grateful my parents saw the potential in me.

[parisadian]

Immigrant parents have sacrificed A LOT for their children's future and that's why they have such high expectations from their kids. Love your mom she's so sweet

[rehabafridi]

She is amazing. What an elegant lady 🥰

[Cpsc]

Your mom is one classy lady. Thanks to her for sharing her parenting advice

I belong to a conservative Pakistani family. My daughter just turned 6 and I hope n pray I can raise her the way your mama raised you, Dr.Rabah! Thank you so much for this video. Lots of prayers for you and your family ❤️

I got goosebumps when she said “I trust you, don’t disappoint me” lol. Also, she is an amazing woman!❤️

I come from an immigrant family as well and I believe that it’s very toxic for parents to say things like bringing a B grade home will not be accepted. Or any result other than an A is looked down upon. Some students struggle with grades despite working really hard and that’s how I was too as a student and the toxic Asian culture affected my mental health as well as my performance at school. There’s nothing wrong aiming for the best and doing your best but mocking a lower letter grade is not okay.

Growing up in Jordan I understand how much your mom fought for you against the conservative community for you to grow up as the successful woman you are, also the amount of trust she gave you!!! But it was all well deserved

Hats off to your mom for setting the standards. The biggest thing that I took from this video is, as parents we have to do better. Better loving our children. More trust. And setting high expectations.

Thank you, for the video! I am currently serving on my 17th year in the Army as an Active Duty Soldier and finishing my undergrad in Health and Science. I too, plan on taking the DAT this coming year and proceed to Dental School.

Blessings!

Tell her she did such a great job! She’s naturally charismatic & likable🥺💕 also she reminds me so much of my mom!

[DonzellLampkins]

First, we absolutely LOVE your Mom!!!Your mother shared so much wisdom! It’s beautiful to see a mother instill excellence in her daughters at an early age! It makes sense that y’all all are bosses! And I love that she advice love and friendship because that’s the foundation for trust. Your mother is phenomenal. And I’m sure she’s very proud!

[toddray]

How Amazing you can tell she Poured All her Love into them! May they always recognize her devotion and pour their all into the next Generation.

MashAllah your mom is so beautiful inside and out! Thank you for taking your short time with her in Boston to share her with us and record this! She is a natural in front of the camera! And you are both inspirations mA! Now I see where Dr. Rabah gets some parts of the personality I see on her instagram from. All the best!

[noursaghorchi]

I am teary eyed! Thank you for having your beautiful mama share her thoughts and advice! She did an amazing job raising you and your sisters. Love and friendship are truly what make all the difference.

I really resonated with this video! I’ve always loved fashion, hair, and makeup and I’m in surgical tech school. I find it exhilarating to be able to do both and I’ve even sometimes worried like “am I worthy of this career in surgery” and I felt like this video just solidified and reminded me that it is not a disadvantage to be and do both lifestyles ❤️

[faiza.]

You have such an amazing mother, MashaAllah! The world needs more mothers like her. May God bless you and your family <3

[alexandriasawin]

Your mom is so beautiful, funny, and amazing! Please thank her from us for having the courage to come on here and share with us. I can' t imagine how scary it is to be recorded for the first time speaking a second language. I am currently learning Spanish and I know how difficult it can be! Great video (:

[mmkhali]

More videos like this! You’re mom is a gem and you are so blessed to have her! I have two young preschoolers and this definitely gave me some insight moving forward! ❤

[StephanieNichell]

Your mom reminds me so much of my grandmother! She always pushes me to do my best and because of that I'm a Biotechnology and Pre-Medical undergraduate senior student, hoping to be accepted into medical school by January 2022. Keep posting videos like this, they serve as inspiration to many! 😍

I really like her parenting's philosophy. Thank you for sharing!
