Here’s the book I referenced in the beginning,
The Four Agreements by Miguel Don Ruiz
https://www.amazon.com/Four-Agreements-Practical-Personal-Freedom/dp/1878424319/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1530206220&sr=8-1&keywords=the+four+agreements
I’m so grateful you have been uploading so frequently, even through everything that has been challenging your heart. I wanted to tell you that you have made such a difference in my life. I am not a mom (I am 19), but I have been a nanny for 4 years. And I often spend more time with kids than their parents do and I have applied your techniques to my nannying. I recently applied to be an assistant helper at a Montessori childcare center and have referred my current families to attend. I am so grateful to be a part of this movement and lifestyle and it’s all thanks to you. Not only has it changed my views and how I will raise my future children – but it has positive effected 3 whole families that I work with. And I never would have known about this all if it weren’t for you.
👏👏
I love your channel!! Been here from the beginning. I don’t follow the exact same parenting advice you tell us about but I’m always learning here so I love it. I’ve incorporated quite a few things and some others I may be like that sounds amazing but I don’t see that working for us (lol like elimination communication) I don’t understand why someone needs to tell others that their way is bad!!! It’s crazy. It’s like being a mom gives others license to just pile crap on you in the form of unwarranted negative opinions and advice.
Thank you Kaitlyn. You’re such an amazing source of love and information. Hope your day is lovely!
I love watching your videos you’re so calming! I’d love to see you do a video on the law of attraction! Chloe x
I’ve really enjoyed learning about respectful parenting from your channel. Your right about this information not being what’s popular or even what we are culturally conditioned to think. Honestly it’s very overwhelming to me… In a couple months I will have 5 kids (I’m expecting my 5th) so I’ve been at this a while and I’ve really screwed up a lot and I carry a lot of guilt from it. I’m trying to be better now but it can be hard. My spouse is also not on the same page so that’s caused some conflict. Also I’m not sure how to deal with the challenges of having kids in school and the behaviorism that goes on there? I have a child that struggles and is labeled ADHD though I don’t treat or medicate, just try work around her challenges but teachers are not as understanding. I haven’t read any books about this yet but definitely need to try to find time to do so.
Do you have a video where you explain or reference your views on praise?
I love The Four Agreements reference. Not taking things personally is definitely something I in particular struggle a lot with. Great video mama! I envy (in a good way) your parenting confidence so much 💕
Lordy, people will try to complain about just about everything nowadays ! I handle haters by simply not interjecting or showing any concern of their thoughts, typically they want attention… and I just stand tall with my professional and mature decisions and keep moving forward without giving back any judgement! –Have a blessed weekend and stay strong 🙂
This is wonderful advice! I am currently almost 6 weeks pregnant with my first and I am learning as much as I can about this, before Baby comes. Thank you!!! 🙂
I think you have a great parenting style. My friends think I’m too passive with the kids because I don’t do a lot of “discipline” and so I have to deal with that. I relate to some of these
people who critique this style tend to just not understand it. My friends look at me like I have four heads when I say I don’t say good job. This is AWESOME STUFF Kaitlyn!
I ordered some of the books you suggested in a previous video! Unfortunately they were not prime and are taking FOREVER to get here. This is why I’m a prime snob lol. Anyways, I can’t wait to read them! Great video as always, keep up the good work ♡
Sis, the audio is so low. Please try to make it louder in the next vids. Xo💗
“The Baby Whisperer” book is like a RIE for fussy infants resource; I’ve found it really helpful as a blueprint for the tiniest ones; my baby is colicky and “spirited,” as the book calls it, and needs a lot of particular caregiving.
Thank you so much! This will be so helpful once I have kids. Talking to my family about rie parenting often has them puzzled.
