We would love to have the children Noah (Mr. Trevor Noah's) children someday by the Grâce of the ALMIGHTY GOD🥰🙌🏾! A very interesting conversation... All of admiration and encouragement, Mr. Noah and your teams🙌🏾.

[@kailymserralta]

I never would've thought I'd enjoy a conversation about parents, kids, parenting and asking deeper questions about our relationships with our parents. Fantastic opportunity to re-think what's happening between a child and parent next time I'm at a farmer's market--just observe.

[@JaquentaJackie]

First, I'd like to say wonderful episode. Second, it's very eye-opening to see how empathetic the children were. I don't have children, but it was surprising to see how connected these children were to the issues that plague their worlds. For the most part, I always thought of children as self-absorbed, and they gained their empathy as they navigated life. But this episode made me think that maybe I have it backward. They are born with a broader sense of connectivity to those around them, and as they grow older, they lose that since of connectivity and their ability to empathize with others. With my nieces and nephews, I have always believed in being open and honest. They ask questions because they are curious. I understand that because I have always been the same way, even to this day, and I don't think that any questions are dumb questions. Children are navigating a cartoon like understanding when they are young, and they don't always know the difference between a fictional version of life and reality. I think if a child asks me something that I know is based on their cartoon understanding of a situation, I should provide clarification without judgment. Thank you for sharing this with us. It was highly entertaining and educational. 😊

[@BlossomingSpice]

Good episode, what the oldest child/teen said about adults turning out ok was beautiful, and while I hope no human would want a child to think or experience otherwise, that is not the reality of what countless children experience all over the world, rich to poor, etc. On a more lighthearted note, a South African reading a Starbucks ad is painful. While SB is now in SA, SA and its coffee houses should still be proud of how long they staved that from happening. Hopefully, La Colombe, Irving Farm, Think Coffee, or some other non-brand will be willing to sponsor...

[@seraiahjames]

This was a lovely departure, enjoyed the insights, honesty and the view of the next generation ❤

[@denisestevens4333]

As a baby boomer, I encourage parents today to stop pushing kids to excel in everything. Keep them safe, teach them values, give them responsibilities, and know what interests them! They came here with a soul contract. Get out of their way and let them have their own experiences while you have yours. All will be well.

[@valeriejones3808]

So TRUE! I often say if we stop and pay attention, what God created them to do manifest in childhood. Nurture that and they will be fine. Often parents try to fulfil their dreams through their cchildren. Both our children love their careers because its their passion so not just a job to make a living.

[@valeriejones3808]

@Imbatmn57 hopefully you've healed from it and forgiven her.

[@tcpkali]

Totally agree.

[@munyau3]

Push kids to do their best. Dont be a bad parent by allowing a growing child to 'go his/her own way.' Baby boomers raised careless children and those are now having lazy children.

[@moon-stars-sun]

This was very cute, can i just say as a intuitive, very rarely do single men who aren't fathers give such competent, considerate, safe and heartwarming vibes around children. Trevor would make an excellent father!

[@DDJames-pe4vw]

Correct. When I was single and not a father, I ignored all children.

[@819phoenix]

@@DDJames-pe4vw yup. Single men without kids hate kids. Lmao.

[@LeattyAndrade]

I think he’s already a father figure to children he spends time with. Sometimes that’s good enough and if you know his history and how he feels about fatherhood this makes perfect sense.

[@chikFromMTL]

🎯

[@CKT100]

Being a father figure is not enough for being a father. One is like a pro sport player, the other is like a fan.

[@lifewithqueenSolo]

My ex husband noticed that our son at 2 years old loved computers. He bought him a PS 2 and spent time teaching him how to operate it. He's now 18 years old & can repair controllers, laptops, small appliances and repairs his play station anytime it acts up. And he does Engineering, Desing & IT at school. So it's important to identify what your child is trying to do in their "breaking thing" and give them a platform.

[@oceantides29]

36:16 "life is a game and there's no way to win it, but you can survive in it" 🥺i think we need these little human segments in every episode

[@UTubePhoenix]

[@Mariellifestyle]

That's beautiful what you said

[@ezzb]

Did you watch Recess Therapy? It's basically an entire Chanel following this premise, talking to kids about life, as equals. They are so much smarter than we give them credit for. It's a really wholesome Chanel

“The Lack”: My parents would always forget to pick us up. Just forget. School was 15 miles from home, before cell phones. We weren’t allowed to take rides from others just in case they remembered and felt panicked when we weren’t there to be gathered. As a parent, I made sure I was first in line at school pick up, no matter what laws I had to break to be there. My kids HATED it and finally asked me to stop because they were missing the unstructured time with their friends waiting for pick up. It was then I realized my trauma is not theirs! 😂

[@nevyavianti9128]

😅😅😅 I got totally different experience. My parents were really strict I have to be at home at exact time everyday after school so I missed all the social life with my friends and didn't get to do things outside school. As a parent now, I like to get myself late on picking up my children from school hoping that they can have some fun time with friends after school. My children HATE that😂😂. They'd better be at home asap and do things they like rather than hanging out with their friends. Talk about introvert kids 😅😅

[@lizmetcalf3714]

Becoming a Preschool Teacher I learned about the "goodness of fit" theory of child bonding. It made total sense to me reflecting on my childhood and my observations of other parents and children. As a parent it heald so true with my kids. At a point I had to make the rough realization that I didn't have a good fit with my oldest child. Calling that out made a huge difference in our relationship. I basically told him that I notice that we have a hard time communicating, I have a different communication style and logic than him and I want him to have better support from me. I encouraged relationships with his dad and other adults with whome he had good connection (or fit). I asked my young son to work with me on our communication so that I could better support him. He was very responsive and to this day (at least 10 years later) we are working on our communication. He was a very defiant 5-8 year old , and now he is a very empathetic supportive young man. He was the hardest to raise, but it was hardest being him, and I knew it. Sorry, this comment is too much probably, but my son has taught me so much and I am very proud of him.

[@lizmetcalf3714]

@Imbatmn57 my mom and I still don't communicate well. My dad was/is always our translator. We were often on the same side of an argument but could not see it somehow. It is still very sad for me how not connected my mom and I are. I could only do so much about it from the roll of child ( if you have any tips, my mom is still alive and I would love to improve our relationship). However, once I learned about "goodness of fit" I could stop blaming about it and eventually work with it in my own family.

[@kellirai35]

@@lizmetcalf3714working on it with your own family is a great way to start I think. Usually it’s very hard for parents to see their kids as adults until they have their own kids, grandparents will start to see the difference in how you communicate with your kids and start to wonder why it’s different

[@ashmeyer21]

Trevor has interviewed some great leaders & celebrities with such intelligence and charisma.But watching him interviewing these kids in unfamiliar territory was funny and refreshing all at the same time.

[@MargaretHortonGaskins]

My mother is a retired social worker. She worked at a group home for juvenile youth, and I loved visiting her at work. The chaos, the dorms, and the wonderful staff made me think she had the best job ever. I even told her that I wanted to be one of the kids living in the group home, and she gave me a thoughtful look. Taking a deep breath, she explained why those children lived there. It was the first time I realized that bad things can happen to children. She worked with runaways, children removed from unsafe homes, and those dealing with addiction. After that, I don't remember visiting her job very often. I support "Take your child to work day"

[@kjhhkntj]

Yes to kids at work! My first career as a woman in science was the direct result of seeing my dad at his job, specifically through formal “Take your daughter to work” days.

[@roseroberts4561]

This podcast should be required watching for parents.

[@bibibibi4577]

Kayla insight on living in the present is PROFOUND. Like how the hell did she figure this out at this age?? I stun!

[@amysaltz3873]

I watched this this morning before getting ready for work, and it was very emotional for me. I want to thank Christiana for taking into consideration the advice of people who aren't actually parents themselves when raising her children. I do not/will never have biological children of my own, but I have spent the majority of my adult life caring for children either as a nanny or as a child advocate for children in foster care. Your community has a lot to offer if you're open to receiving it.

[@latoyacampbell2126]

I think she had a great point, but where I have an issue with that point is that people, whether they have kids, are not constantly trying to tell you what you need to do. They never highlight what you are doing but alway with the "you need to do this and that " and oh you aren't doing this right ,that's where I draw the line.I also think that is why some parents are not open to advise from non parent or some people from the village.

[@carrieackerman3010]

Having been a teacher changed my mind about wanting to be a parent in a positive way. I am now the parent of an 18-year-old son, and he has been the greatest education for me as a person. One observation...when Trevor asked the kids about changing one thing about the world, it would have been interesting to see what would have been said if he had started with the youngest and ended with the oldest. Younger kids, generally speaking, want to be seen as being older; they want to be 'cool' like their older siblings. I really enjoyed watching this episode, Trevor. Thanks!!

[@kathleenhoover5162]

I think Trevor would be a great parent he would teach his child how to navigate and survive in the world and that child would be so lucky to have Trevor as his or hers father

[@MiaBank]

Exactly this! There aren’t many men in the world I would blatantly say that about except Trevor

[@rdiwu1947]

i LOVE that Trevor has his own show and podcast now - I really missed hearing what he has to say since he left the Daily Show. I think his is one of if not the most important voices in these complicated times

[@blind_bratface]

As a Consent educator that talks to folks about childism I really appreciate the work that Trevor is doing! I also grew up in East Africa and I would love to see Trevor go back to South Africa and interview children there where he grew up and ask them the same thing? I would love to see if there are any differences across the pond. He seems shock that children buried the weight of the world on their shoulders, but my experience growing up in Africa was that it seems like the children there grew up much faster than children in America have to. A lot has changed in the last 30 years and so maybe that has also changed, but I would be very curious to see what differences there are across cultures! And in different parts of the world. Keep up the great work! You are a spark of joy in the world. And, I’m blind with a tiny bit of tunnel vision and all I focus on is your dimples! You have to know that. lol 😂❤😂

[@CYR888]

I've been wondering where Trevor went and where I could hear more from him! Boy, am I glad I found this channel! Blessings Trevor!

[@mickeyimmanuel]

My father suffers from bipolar disorder. I can’t even begin to share the trauma we suffered as a result and yet I held him on the highest pedestal imaginable. I was in college when it really started to sink in that he doesn’t have his sh*t together. I didn’t even start realizing that my mom had her own issues until I was in my 30s. It’s crazy what therapy will point out to you that was always there. In flashing neon colors.

[@vernelledouglas1801]

Children have thoughts, feelings and opinions. Some share without inhibition, some are more introverted. They see what's going on but don't quite understand why it's happening. After 22 years of being around them, I've learned so much. Love Juniper's ideas about equity.

[@judination1]

Trevor you should totally do a Mr. Rogers Neighborhood type of show talking to kids.

[@robinkish5763]

I love this podcast so much. Sometimes I am arguing with Christania because our views are very different but I appreciate how she grew up in a small village community where a community raised you (I did the same), I love the conversation and her perspective. I was raised basically as a mini adult with childhood activities and I think it made me way more mature/grew up fast. Since I was an only child, I always knew what my parents were doing, their jobs and the drama in their friends lives so I find it so interesting that kids can be rather oblivious these days.

[@TheEnigm8]

Parenting is singlehandedly the hardest, most challenging thing I've ever done. Figuring out our own lives is difficult as it is. Now we're responsible for another human being with their own mind, emotions etc. And we have to make a half decent enough job of it to help make that child become a reasonably good human being

[@noxyglow2363]

My brother used to dismantle the tv and radio, my would get pissed off. At the age of 19 he qualified as a mechanical engineer. So Trevor has a good point

[@myrnaaragon6436]

This really did make so much sense from a kids point of view. My kids say the same thing and this made me want to ask my little ones what can I improve as a mother

[@tammystockley-loughlin7680]

My advice for other parents is pick your battles...safety and morals, you book no nonsense. Other stuff can be negotiated. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.

[@harinidiasbandaranayake]

Thank you for this. Some of my most favourite people - really really, good people - getting together to genuinely learn from kids. You guys have awoken parents' souls! Thank you ❤ Every Mother's Day, I ask my two kids to tell me what they really think of me, what I did or said, didn't say or didn't do, that hurt their feelings and how I can do better. Single parent here but my kids guide me. ..and keep me a better human being. It is a privilege to be a parent. But boy! Is it humbling!

[@lenkadeutschova1924]

Trevor, sitting down with kids? That’s brave! They’re like tiny humans with no filter and wild imaginations. But seriously, the way you got them to open up about what adults miss about being kids-genius. It’s like we forget what it’s like to be shorter and full of dreams! Also, is it true that raising a child really takes a village, or just a really solid Wi-Fi connection and some snacks? Asking for a friend... 👀 When asked if adults or kids, they all reply babies :D only a kid can give you answer which was not even in the selection :D Kids should rule the world 🙂

[@GinaRealTalk]

Trevor, yes! You are on point! I’m a LMFT and part of my work with families is expanding the lens parents are seeing their children’s behaviors.

[@ainembabazimarthagift135]

Josh is such an adorable & beautiful creature!😊

[@kellirai35]

As a teacher and a parent I’ve tried to get my students parents to understand that when a child acts for something pertaining to their life more often than not they aren’t wrong when asking it’s just different than what the parent wants for them. I told my sister once that she was very hard to talk to because she always tried to solve everyone’s problems. I said sometimes when your kids talk to you they aren’t asking for answers they just want you to understand

[@Mamfene6866]

These kids are smart. Their level of consciousness and social awareness is refreshing

[@zest6503]

[@tanyadhlamz]

[@gauravmisra9596]

I don’t think it is all that surprising the way the kids answered the “what would you change about the world” question. Part of it has to do with the oldest girl answering first. She set the tone for serious answers. If the “more cheese” child had gone first that might have set them off on a sillier answer track. That being said, they did have very thoughtful and wise answers!!

[@gamakedy8682]

This is lovely, to just hear kids talk in such a free environment.

[@CYR888]

I've asked my kids how I can change to make their lives better because I know that sometimes, my yelling gets out of hand, and i swear a lot. I always say sorry when I've said stupid things to them or yelled and such. Im just trying to be a good parent, especially since their father passed away.

[@DaisyLeeQigong]

So refreshing, fun, funny and real…thanks Trevor, Josh, Christiana and Kids. There’s hope for the future when adults are sincerely curious about what kids think and don’t assume to have all the answers. Part of the fun is discovering possibilities together with the same joy they have. Thanks for an open, heart-warming conversation.

[@TheDiggler07]

I love Josh's perspectives (I'm sure that why o find his comedy to be so hilarious). I always say that people don't "grow up" we just get older. We do the same things we've always done but it different ways and with more context of how to interact with others while caring (or not) about how we are individually perceived.

[@lpa9974]

Loved this video-great conversations and insights! I would love to see Trevor with his own kids and then see a “do over” of this video to learn how his thoughts might have changed. (: FYI my children and their children are now grown adults-It’s been an interesting (life-awareness) experience.(I am a grandmother in her seventies with different perspectives in different generations.) I look forward to more of your thought-provoking videos. Keep up the good work and take care!

[@TibbersForever]

Josh & Trevor making kids!!!! Absolutely in love with this episode. I have my first 2-legged baby he’s 18months and I’ve learned so damn much about myself they are definitely this magnifying glass of figure your shitt out.

Love " black and strong" coffee. Excellent having kids share their thoughts. Sad they are so very young and aware of lifes realities.... I can't remember if we were, Boomer here. I do remember knowing that children were hungry, starving in Asian and Indian countries . I believe children and young people need to be asked to share their thoughts and taught to debate differing ideas . No winners, just taught to share perspectives... Listen and learn. Well done team Noah.

[@reikomyles1495]

You can learn "something" from everybody, especially and specifically children. In my opinion, children are genuinely more genuine than adults. I know this may sound cliché, but they are truly more honest and forgiving; their love is purely untainted, sweet, soothing, and can melt the stonest of hearts. Their curiosity and willingness to learn amaze me. Their observation skills are highly acute. Their little minds record everything we adults do and say, and they "play back" selective things we say and do to their advantage so that can fulfill a need or want or to call us out about our own shortcomings. Kids may be young, but they are more perceptive and intelligent than we give them credit for.

The whole tooth story at the start was a bit nostalgic. I lost my first tooth in a similar way at 5 years old. The floss and door technique. It almost fell down this hole in the floor. The difference is that my mom got that tooth out. My dad was busy with work in the military a lot. So yeah. It was night time. I don't really remember where he was. His moment though was teaching me was tying my shoes when I was 5 during that time period, that and his lullaby in Spanish. One about a guardian angel giving me sweet dreams before bed on occasion. I remember genuinely believing singing the song with him would keep nightmares away. Since I believed it so much it did really. I would get excited whenever he came in to sing it. My mom would sing one song, my dad another. When my dad eventually had to leave for deployment again I would still sing it to myself at night and it helped a little, even if was a bit lonely only having mom at bedtime for a while then at 6 years old.

They are very perceptive and reflective of our current society and yes I agree with you Trevor how sad 🥺🥺🥺 it's to see a child noticing the disheartening order of the World and get depressed energy from their environment at such a tender age unlike us who instead of enjoyed an Imaginary Fantasy 🤩🤩🤩 before waking up to harsh Reality. 🤯🤯🤯 All in all #InterestingEpisode thank you and please do this again like a seasonal or monthly thing 🙏🙏🙏

Trevor, I think you’d love the career of being an educator. Whether it be young kids, teens, or young adults in university I think you’d love it.
