This is not realistic. These kids are already well behaved. I want to see her with two or three kids that come in yelling

Death stare. Learn it. Master it. It works, trust me.

i raised 2 boys and i can tell, as other parents can tell, that a same way doesn't work with different child. Some are shy and respectfull early on,, while others are just 'out there' and don't listen to anything, no connection, no amount of love will do a difference. There is not a single answer that fit all.

I it works because it’s not their parents and in a different environment

I begin giving choices at 18 months. Do you want to sit on my lap or play on the rug?

[@katiesmith1062]

But it’s proven that children are worse when with their mothers. My son will listen to my grandmother but not me and I talk to him the same exact way she does? It makes no sense.

This info is so timeless. This was hosted since 2017 but still relevant to viewers in 2022.

Some interesting points. Yet the description was to get a toddler to listen 'without raising your voice'. I didn't hear a calm voice from the Nanny unfortunately.

I let my son from a few months have a choice and let him pick out things he likes. Since 6 months has been so helpful when it comes to putting on his clothes especially his arms in his shirts and socks. I always communicate his left side from his right side. He is so smart and is always blowing me away day by day

Maybe I should just invest in holy water.

[@omggiiirl2077]

I need to see her deal with some bay bays kids! The kind that cuss, fight, with spit, and act up!! I need to see that!!

[@BratBustersParenting]

Make everything fun, even using an excited voice helps.

Kids are what you make them!

[@gigic9715]

The children portrayed here do not seem like misbehaved children. Too easy when the kid listens. Next time, get some children that actually shows their terrible 2s and 3s.

Simple, but effective strategies. Thanks for sharing with the community.

[@MorganMingo70]

Great advice... but I was focused on the host's blouse! SUPER CUTE!! and the double straps makes the thin straps more flattering, IMO!

[@misslovely9586]

I searched for these videos to know if I’m doing okay in my parenting because you know it’s hard being a parent.. it’s an amazing journey but can hard at times and after watching this I know I’m doing good so far 👏🏻 phew

[@FemmedeFoi4078]

She makes it look so easy

[@galnamedtal]

Oooh I like the when vs if distinction

[@ajohonly3721]

I will not be going back and forth with them.
