Duggar Family Christmas 2019

Family brunch, discussing the true meaning of Christmas, taking turns opening presents in a family gift exchange, big family & friends lunch, games & football!

[@thewhitefam5924]

I actually like how Ben asked Henry to look into ben's eyes when he was providing direction (discipline). Good parenting right there because kids are SO easily distracted and making a child try to focus on your "eyes" or "nose" etc really helps them listen and try to understand.

[@EmeryShae]

I remember a really old episode of like 17 Kids & Counting possibly where Michelle said she always makes sure to have her children’s eyes when teaching them something. She said if you have their eyes, you have their hearts.

Reminds me of my family Christmases. Only had eight kids though. But being one of the youngest it was so much fun when all my married siblings and their kids came over. Shared gifts and ate forever. It was always loud ,the house was filled with love and laughter. I really miss those days

[@hermionemouse]

My brother always had his kids answer with, “yes, Daddy,” when he was trying to get their attention. A couple of my nephews were easily distracted and this helped them focus.
