We're expecting our first kid early next year. This is really helpful advice, and I'm surprised it does not have more views than it has! Thanks for this!

[@DadUniversity]

We agree! Please share and that helps us get more views :)

[@shemelleschernet1670]

It so great! It works for my littles. Also I am very interested to learn more from Dad University to help my society.

[@nitolarioza]

Every kid and parent situation is diff. Just always make it fun

[@r4h_]

This is amazing advice. Thank you so much. I recently discovered your videos and now I can't stop watching them. Extremely helpful information here. You've made me realize that as a father, I'm not putting in as much effort as I can or should be. I wish my own parents were able to give me this helpful advice but I feel as though they themselves struggled with these very same things when they were raising me. I can't tell you how helpful these videos are for me and my family. Please keep posting new videos. You have elevated me from being a good father to an AMAZING father. And I can't thank you enough.

[@DadUniversity]

So glad that you are finding value from the videos. We are happy to have you as part of the community. We need fathers like you who are putting in the effort. It is powerful so thank you!

[@NLuvMy]

Love the simplicity of explanation...just came across your videos..going thru few challenges and glad I heard some tips

[@holyddogg7]

My 2nd video really appreciate it them and you taking the time to share

[@tukimamurrell]

Thank you for these reminders

[@gentianamulgeci]

Thank you for your brilliant ideas ! I really need them now

[@LaibaHfz-he4nm]

Thanks for sharing these are really helpful points 👍🏻

[@felisamoniquette2641]

My almost three year old grandson seems so hard headed. He is speech delayed however so maybe he doesn’t understand? It’s so frustrating for all of us. He is really bright however and can point to anything we ask, he just can’t say the words. We will try some of these techniques. Thank you. 👍🏼😊

[@ryanjourney1321]

Absolutely love the advice and love your videos!

[@DadUniversity]

I just had a cancellation for interviews for the course I'm building. Would you be interested in talking for 30 minutes? I just have some questions you could help with answering

[@jeffreycyr1977]

My daughter just turned 2 and man she’s smart and very strong willed. She won’t hold my hand and wants to run in a public place. If I try and grab her hand she will fall to the ground and it’s embarrassing. I have to pick her up as she screams and yells while all other parts with young kids just walk hand and hand with no issues. She very very strong willed. Hellp

[@desert_hunter83]

I can totally relate to this!!! Definitely the hardest part about taking them places is this behavior 😤

[@Lenath-xy5bm]

Best video ever. Thank you so much

[@TalibanTone110]

Thanks

[@deepaktelegisiddeshi2892]

Thank you for your suggestions 👍

[@jeanettemeyran6489]

I HAVE the same situation with my 4 yr old grandson. He is also speech delayed so I wonder if he understands. I believe he does but is testing mer. Whatever I say or ask the majority of the time his answer is NO! HE turns his back ,folds his arms , and frowns with a NO. Moat times I ignore him while other times I lose my patience & force him to do what I ask. it ends up with him in tears.When he does cooperate I praise & thank him but I don't agree with options all the time. What have you tried?

[@christineaird5884]

My daughter runs towards the cats dish , picks it up , smiles at me then tosses the food all over and laughs. Where to start

[@vickramsukram6761]

😂 thats pretty funny

[@Method5440]

Thank you for making This a lot

[@iamwhoyousayiam6773]

Great video thanks

[@jans724]

Thank you for this video!!

[@juliafru7522]

very helpful video. on a side note though, one doesn't always have the time to give the child options, there times when they'll just have to do as mom/dad says period. when it's time for them to face the real world out there, like school for instance, more often than not they will have to obey without necessarily being given options. I think balance is key here: sometimes you do let them choose so they can learn to be in control, other times they still need to listen and do as asked.

[@eyeswideshutentertainment8408]

Great clip

[@davidnelson8097]

Love it ,true😮

[@andreavazquez1872]

Yes I’m having trouble with my 4 year old son he’s been saying so much bad words and I don’t know how to control it !! And his behavior too

[@nicodemusharding2310]

It's not about winning or losing but you will lose, if you not patient

[@keylimetea]

What if they bite other kids?

[@paulakoyoc.feldtart240]

I need so bad to be patience with my kids, and I also suffer of migraines and get frustated so fast. 😬

[@thenarrowlife2018]

I am having such a hard time with my toddler she doesn’t listen to a word that I say at all.

[@rachelanncanada7459]

Yes my toddler never listen to me or anybody else what would I do to make her listen to me or to anybody ?

[@DadUniversity]

Try the things in the video over and over and over and over. Stick with it even if it's 100 times.

[@maryannville]

My son likes to scream a screechy, loud scream, and he will not stop. It only happens once in a while, but it makes everyone else in the room say no, stop screaming. How can I handle this other than asking him to speak quietly, which does not work at all.

[@etheledhrin7098]

I have this problem as well - what I do is give him another sound to make instead. It’s a sound he likes to make (sounds like “mmNAH!”), so when he gets in scream mode I remind him of the other sound. It doesn’t always work, but a lot of times it does. I also sometimes remind him to hush by saying, “quiet,” or “sing if you’re happy.” Saying “no screaming” or “don’t scream” isn’t great because he hears the word scream and keeps it in his mind.

[@emaali9311]

What can I do to stop my son crying for everything. He doesn't listen any words if I tell it nicely or rudely. He always say no.im really really struggling with him.i lose my temper .when he cry for everything. I don't have any one alse to look after him as he stay with me 24/7 and being annoying all day I lose my temper sometimes. And one thing I don't like it he don't use his normal voice at all.he always use really annoying voice sounds. His 3 years 2 months old How can I stop please help me

[@DadUniversity]

You need a break. Find another parent and watch their child in exchange for your own time off.

[@kevinhkp]

Providing options only worked for one month for my son. So what else can I do?

[@DadUniversity]

How old is he?

[@kevinhkp]

@@DadUniversity he is 3 and a half year old now. If neither options aren't what he like he would either ignore me or just said no.

[@DadUniversity]

Stick with it. He is going to begin being more defiant. Part of that is wanting to be in control. He is going to be pushing boundaries and your buttons to see and learn how things work...and how far he can go. If you are inclined, you may want to consider my Parenting Program.

[@shanellerandall9443]

...i have 2 toddlers

[@brittcreech4985]

I wish he would just get to the point

[@Sonya-c5x]

What the crap!! Daddy won’t let you have the cookie, I would be mad too’. Maybe explain to the child why daddy doesn’t want you to have the cookie. Instead of making daddy the villain.

[@RegimentJoker]

Dude get to the point omg

[@demon_gang_2k16]

Bro be patient

[@magscat3161]

Rule number one, dude.
