Sometimes we spill words from our mouths in moments of high emotions, which we later regret and feel sorry for. May we be completely submitted to God's leading.

We all have days when we become critical and complain whether it's work-related, or in our personal relationships. For some people, it is a personality trait in that they are always criticizing others and complaining. But, for most of us, it's occasional. But, we need to strive to never act in such a bitter way. We need to try to be more Christ-like every day than we were the day before.

I have not ever been so quiet in my entire life. I can tell that at work, whatever I say can and will be used against me. So, I am being silent. In my marriage less talking is more at times. God is good He helps us to grow.

There is one thing I know for sure when someone says "get rid of the toys' and that is this: they have never been the parent of a single child, know nothing about it, have never seen it, ignore them

So true. I stored away extra toys when my child was young in the early 1980's. I had to beg grandparents to NOT gift more than one toy. It is important to not overwhelm your child. They will go from one toy to another to another and never learn to "play" as they should. I see it in my grandson. Some parents don't seem to see what toys are age-appropriate. Bottom line, there is a lot to be said about the determent of affluence.

Do you rotate your kids' toys?

A child should be the one who gets rid of their toys. It’s like someone going in and getting rid of parents items and saying your don’t need all this.

Horrifying advice, for real.

Mom of two, an almost three year old and a 4 month old, we do have a bit of toys, but they all have homes. Most are stored out of sight or are toys my daughters enjoy or can use for development! We have big climbing toys for them, one for my daughters room (nugget couch) and a climbing set we keep downstairs and bounce house I keep tucked away for rainy days (literally haha!) I’ve gone through toys multiple times and have decluttered things and on birthdays/holidays we normally get (our oldest really since this will be a first of many with our second) things she needs, like we got her a big girl bed to officially move out of the crib (converted to a toddler bed but her baby sister needs it now) and new blanket sets to go with it etc. sometimes for birthdays or holidays I’ll even say we want diapers 🤣🤣🤣 great video!

My 5-year old does not have a truckload of toys to begin with, but he does have some legos, wooden blocks, wooden animals, toy cars, stuffed animals, puppets, outdoor and bath toys. He uses them all, loves them all, asks for them when they are not there, plays with them calmly, independently and contentedly. He is neither ungrateful nor entitled. I think parents need to put more thought into what their children will really use, what will spark their creativity, and where each toy will be stored. We give lots of thought to what we gift our children, but I try not to intervene too much once things are officially theirs. I think toys are instrumental to learning how to treat personal property, which is why I don't like treating them as something a parent can take away at will. If a well-chosen toy becomes a child's responsibility, they learn not to break it, to treat it with care (because if they destroy they'll no longer have it), to be appreciative of the people who gifted it to them, to use it as and when they see fit (within reason!), and to decide how to combine it with other toys. All this to say that there are many ways to teach your children peaceful play and respectful behaviour and to give them joy. Just watch your child and do what works for you and them, but that may not be the same for each and every family, or for all the years of a given childhood.

I am going to dig into getting rid of a lot of stuff this year. I currently only have 2 young grands. I have been thinking about getting rid of more toys or just storing them out of sight.

this is so true! thank you for giving me a deadline of Christmas morning haha I know you didn't mean it as a strong deadline probably but this has been my first year as a mom and my first year staying home and not working and I really struggle time management. I've worked in daycares and it was so easy to do things when they needed done but I find it so hard to disciplined at home.

Thanks for your feedback

Any of my friends and family do network marketing or mlm I’d want them to tell me so I can get them some help. Many companies don’t want their fake staff up sellers to tell family and friends as they know friends and family love them and don’t want to see their loved ones being scammed. Mlm and affiliate etc are by pretty much all stats not successful. The numbers don’t lie. Vulnerable people get sucked in by by not telling their friends and family.

Johnny Hamcheck has some openings in his pyramid program and can most likely get you started right in the middle and not at the bottom. @johnnyhamcheck

1:37 so first think deeply if there is anyone who needs your product or if it is a scam.^^

I have channel but mostly use it for unlisted videos. I wonder if this would be a good platform/format for "testing" other content and pull my thoughts together. 🤔 My topics are around healing through connection... With ourselves, with God, and with others. Especially after trauma from abuse and betrayal. I want to bring in other adventures too... Im DIYing my fixer upper, and planning to convert a retired school bus into a skoolie/RV. Then travel with the "connecting" theme. The first step(s) are the hardest... Also, I don't want to bite off more than I can chew. I do love the idea of unedited videos.

Thank you so much for this! I turned 49 this week and I’m going to finally do all the creative contents that I’ve been wanting to do for the last couple of years but was too afraid to do it. I just uploaded my first video and it’s scary but I’m going to commit to imperfections 😊

Getting ready to relaunch my channel in 2025!!

We are in our mid 50s and started our channel a couple of months ago. We are wanting to retire in Italy and want to document the whole process. We’re having so much fun and learning a lot! Good luck to the smaller and new channels. 😊

U get it. Love u!

You're amazing! Thanks for being on KZbin!

❤❤❤❤

Yes!!!😊 Keep it up. You’re doing really good. I love your videos.

Do you have a KZbin channel?

Such great points! Thanks for your encouragement.

it still didn't work

What task are you procrastinating on today?

You almost never regret what you didn't say:)

That's a good idea. Nothing bad comes out of my mouth.😂 but it might stop me from eating when I'm bored. 😂😂

Comment if you will be joining me on the challenge!

Lets vibes too...

Older Millennial here, your GenZ advisor is right. I would have scrolled past the other thumbnails.

I just found your channel , I have had a channel here for 3 years and just felt like I was spinning my wheels. I have decided to chose a different format or style than what I have been doing. It's a style that I liked for quite some time now but was afraid it would lock me into a limited amount of subject matter. After watching a few of your videos I now have the confidence I need so when I come back after we get settled into our new home I will come back with a new strong approach, I mean I just want to have fun in my retirement years.Thank you for your common sense teaching.

i have NO EARTHLY idea what you are talking about. bye!

I'm more of your generation and I wouldn't have clicked on thumbnails previous to the videos over the past four days.

I mean, you're supposed to be in marketing and you don't know what works - you seem sweet, but not qualified to be talking about marketing.

I don't enjoy the bright color changing text or comical text thumbnails and avoid them. I prefer a real person in a real space. I can also "smell" a dressed stage or generated background on a video or thumbnail. And I'm Gen X.

Have you gone through or are currently going through a huge loss, like the loss of a job, network marketing team, or direct sales business? Did you go through the 7 stages of grief?

CRINGE! 😄

Hey, I’m watching.😊❤

Hi Paula, you and I are the same generation and I, too, have a Gen Z son who edits my videos (and is a KZbinr himself). He designed my thumbnail templates for both of my channels. For this channel, we adapted my podcast cover art to fit within YT specs and to be on brand with my podcast. For my art channel, he takes a screenshot usually in an action part of the video and highlights part of it and we add a brand color as a border. That's it. I put words on my thumbnail once - and only once - because the video had super low views. I am definitely myself, but I don't really tell stories on the art channel; perhaps I should incorporate more, but my son tells me some of my videos are too long so I'm not sure where I'd add those. In my podcast, it's all story-telling. Cheers to our amazing Gen Z sons!

I abandoned perfectionism and openly show (and sometimes laugh at) my mistakes. I have two channels. This one (@WarriorWords) and an art one (@theresbeautyinthebroken). I post my podcast episodes and my art creations. What I'm seeing recently is some videos do extremely well and others bareky make it to my 10% threshold. I am posting consistently and using keywords (SEO). I don't do the trending topics because my channels are both niche. Like you, one my other channel, I am close to the first level of monetization. This channel will take a while. lol But I will be consistent on both. Thanks!

You should adjust the camera angle - there is too much space at the top of your head. I'd zoom out just a smidge and bring the camera down a little. As gen Z individual, this angle is more irritating than your previous thumbnails lol. I think your thumbnails are fine tbh.

hi !!

Do you have a Gen Z kid? Or ARE you a Gen Z kid?

I just became your 494 subscriber. Lets go Jesus😊

YES!!! Total perfectionist here! 😄

Are you on KZbin or thinking of starting a channel?

Great video! I’m 66 almost 67, and at 50 you have plenty to share about your life! Keep it up!
