The fact that you're looking for these videos means you're willing to raise your kids in the children's best interest.
These videos just confirm that my wife is one of the best momma my kids can have.
Thank you for the video guys.

[dasilvs]

Great video! Going to work on creating enforceable limits with my kids!

[monikad.]

Thank you so much. Great as always. Best parenting channel I've ever came across. ❤

I really am so glad that I found your channel. I always knew my parents way was not the way but my worry for my kids often made me more strict than I should be at times and my husband to be too lenient or too strict. Having a teen who is strong willed and me having health issues is difficult but these tips really do help immensely. Thank you and Vicky so much for all that you do. You are both so very helpful .

So,
My husband is a police officer. Last week husband was doing some truck maintenance at front yard. When he realized that husband was late for appointment. So he started picking up tools. When he screamed to our son to come and help pick up some tools for him. my son didn't want to help because some cables was kind of heavy. Not too heavy but he say he did not want to help. husband (62) step and got too close to his face and screamed at him that he has to do it, my son (9) response quietly you shouldn't force me. Husband: yes I can force you because I'm your father. I was frozen not know what to do, because he screamed at me stay away on this situation between me and him (son). He said here is America and rules are like that.

Thank you so much Dr. Y Dra. I greatly appreciate this video! I now see the differences of those two very important elements that I totally had mixed up. Keep in bring it more advice because receptive & willing to learn/change my old ways for the health & sake of my beautiful fam(self too).

Thanks doc! I took a deep breath and did it! I am abroad, away from my teens. I shop for them online and they can't be bothered (free)-returning items so I can be refunded. I told them if they don't return items, there is a 3 month ban on new clothes. They immediately returned goods, and ensured they told me I had an "attitude" in giving that ultimatum! Lol. Of course I have watched your other vid and know not to argue! Lol! Phew! Thanks a million doc!

What do you do when you "enforce" and your teen rants at you do you just walk off and ignore them???

[TH-nhhk]

My biggest challenge is my 17 year old son. He’s not motivated and he’s failing three classes. Do you have any suggestions for me? I know I can’t control what he does and doesn’t do. He doesn’t do his work. Were so discouraged and just don’t know how to help him. At this point it seems like we care more about his future than he does.

The difficulty I have is determining appropriate consequences.

[Amysusie-q]

Scenario: one bedroom for four kids ages 1, 3, 6, 10. The two babies are asleep, but can still be awakened easily. The two older kids are hyperactive because they are tired and we are putting them to bed. Mommy and daddy are tired and don’t want the babies to be awakened so we can go to bed too. What is the enforceable limit in this case for the two older kids as we are trying to keep them quiet so they don’t wake the littles? Thank you!

[lisasweetman]

Very good and clear videos. Thank you for sharing. Giving some examples would realy help understand the information. For example when you say rules should come from love, what does that mean. Is teaching them manners love, for example?

[jenniferleigh]

How do you handle being the nice mom and wanting to buy your kids things. I have this problem now. I dont know how to limit it because I want to get him things but want him to work for it. How do you know when you should and shouldnt and when do they absolutely deserve it. When do you tell them no and what do you say when you tell them the reasoning

[lovealwaysjasmine]

We raise our child by this principal: freedom by performance. Is that healthy dr Paul? If they do what they need to do on their list we give the freedom on thing we control on our list

[itsmeaa]

Most of the people here are parents but I'm a teenager going to be adult next month but all I think is I am a 2 year old cause I can't do any discussion for my own self even in choosing career for my self but I don't know how to deal with them cause my mother is never ready to listen to anything I want to say so please make a video for us kids to how to deal with my mother please

[everythingjen]

My husband calls me the meanest mother ever... because I limit phone time, set an 11pm bedtime & make my child sometimes make healthy food choices. My daughter is 15, she has to have some boundaries! Tired of his good cop/bad cop parenting, he's created her being a monster. She wants to live with him when I Divorce him..

[carinacorrea]

I have a question (I don't know if it has been answered in another of your videos since it's been a few months that I've found you and I'm watching them slowly and taking down many notes!). Here it goes: How do you enforce the limita that you set. How? Which practical examples can you give me? Thanx in advance and hugs from Patagonia, Argentina 🤗

[kimbers]

Great topic. Any tips for grandparents who knows that the mothers form of discipline is screaming and spanking with a spoon? Because it hurts more per her words to my son. I'm guessing prayer. But how can I speak truth to into him the one day a week that I have him? Obviously I won't say anything bad about his mom but is there any way to counteract the bad?
