Bonding and Connecting with Children

[@destinyadams0528]

Lost for words, God just literally answered my prayers. I have been crying out to God asking him to help me be more gentle with my children. I felt like I was losing my mind. I have 4 children and they all have different personalities and I often find myself very overwhelmed. I’d yell at them, get frustrated, and sometimes lock myself in my prayer closet. Thank you for sharing this video. I didn’t grow up in a household to consisted of gentle parenting so I see myself reflecting the same things I went through as a child. Thank you Lord for putting this video in front of me. I want to be a better mother.

I am crying watching this video, so moved and inspired for my children and self! so grateful I found this video and channel

Bonding/nurturing is something that comes natural to me and it is something I took pride in. I have been criticized over it, been told I an "too soft" or I "give too much" to my kids. I got told so much that I changed and it has made me and my kids unhappy 😔 thank you for bringing me back Jady ♥ I appreciate this video VERY MUCH!!

[@MamaJeanMontessoriMusic]

The last thing you said was so touching. If we can do one thing to change the world, it is to love our children- the next generation. Love this mentality ❤

[@jazminesparrow5639]

😢 it’s how I feel deep down in my heart as I act out our societal norms. I just want to be with my baby

[@jessicanbrentmayes9355]

I work in youth care at a treatment facility for kids ages 12-18. The lack of a bond, boundaries, consistency, clear reasonable expectations and consequences causes so many behavioral issues.

[@mistlazum]

Yes!!! I try to be intentional, but yes there are times were I’m not having a good day and I can totally tell the difference. I’m pregnant with our 3 rd baby and just feel so tired some times. Thank you so much for the encouragement 🥰🥰🥰

[@jeanniedavis2585]

We make up stories together. We play together. We read and sing together. My boys help me with day to day things. We also snuggle and I talk to them, sit with them and nurse my 1 year old to sleep.

[@ilariandre_]

Every once in a while I come back to this video to recall these thoughts. I really admire you, you're an amazing mom! I love the twinkle twinkle little star song!!!!! I only have one daughter... I hope to be doing a good job. Thank you for these fantastic tips!

[@Abisrael247]

I thank God for answering my prayers! I was wondering why my 2yr old has been having behavioral issues and this is it! Thank you so much for this video!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@I-am-Grace336]

You are the kind of mom I'm trying so hard to be. Thanx for this❤

[@erical.k.8858]

I love your honesty, done in love. You speak with such grace and kindness. This is literally the Lord’s perfect timing for me to hear this, by listening with a willing heart and acknowledging that I first need changing in order to also see the changes in my children. When you come from utter brokenness, these “seemingly simple concepts” of closeness and connection aren’t so easy to grasps. So a million thank you!! I used this advice and tips today and had an incredible day with my children. May the Lord bless you abundantly!! 💜

[@Zoerodriguezlove111]

What a blessing you are taking this info in...your legacy will thank you.

[@kevi308]

This video so helpful. I have 2 toddlers and I struggle with some of these things bc I never received it as a child. I know my parents did their best. But I would like to be more intentional and aware of what I’m doing. Thank you!

[@christinam.1930]

And now again 2 years later...ill keep watching it becUse it reminds me how God is so beautiful and has used you to explain exactly how i feel all in one place...this has helped me be a better mother and im not afraid to say that! Thank you for being obedient to God and blessing me and so many others....❤❤

[@LM-rg3bt]

Love how honest and relatable you are, thank you

[@Momofprincesses36]

Btw we bond with each other by coloring books doing activities and baking cookies or muffins. Making dinner or breakfast. Watching kids movie. Taking them to the field trips, reading and singing along. Having dance party. I pretend that I am a monster and chasing them 😮😅 Cuddling and holding them.

[@michlew]

Just so beautiful. Thank you so much , Jada. That was really beautiful and special, quite moving too. God bless you and the family richly for sharing your love and knowledge on such poignant , important thing as the family. Thank you so much.

[@OrnelaReavesOfficial]

I am always so blessed by your teachings and life experiences

[@elise8116]

I would love to see the handclapping video! I try to do these myself already but dont know many of them.

[@177meleek]

Would love to see a video about hand-clapping games! Do you have a video about that? Love this video, all such wonderful reminders. Also thank you for showing us how you incorporate these bonding activities in your own family!

[@JadyA]

I made that video some months ago!

[@miriraimapfumo5811]

Love that little boy.He is so cool and disciplined

[@Tony_Lilia]

Thank you so much jady. you are a life saviour

[@bri8872]

I am so guilty of speaking impatiently and unkindly. It's the worst habit. And i see how it affects my kids. Especially in home school and they can't remember how to do something, saying "you should know this" and other dumb things that dont help.. reallt its my own anxiety and feeling of inadequacy and frustration that i am dumping on them in those moments. I really want to repent of that. Poor babies deserve better ❤

[@paulaglenn388]

Loved the video. Watch to the end 🔚 everyone. The conclusion is awesome and inspirational!!! 💞

[@RolandNgoleOfficialFR-wo1vl]

Thank you for the insightful video. Please share the link of the devotional you read with your kids.

[@navneetsandhu7717]

U r the best mother Best adviser U just blow my mind

[@323hunnybunny]

I would love to learn your hand clapping games please. Thank you 💕

[@JadyA]

I have a hand clapping video check it out

[@beautysuav8272]

I absolutely love this video thank you so much!! Definitely going to use your advice to be a better Momma 😁💕 God bless you and your family.

[@Momofprincesses36]

Jady thank you so much for this wonderful video! I really enjoy watching your videos. I didn’t get a good bond with my mom when I was a kid and when I had my kids it was hard for me in the beginning to bond with my first child. But I love reading to my kids and singing songs. So I have been reading to my kids and singing since they were newborns. But eye contact and touching I didn’t know about that and I am still learning, reading and watching videos of moms like you. And my goal is to have a very good relationship with my kids. Could you make a video about to make your kids play with each other or how to share their toys with each other 😊? I have two girls and they don’t get along with each other always end up fighting. They are 4 and 2 years old.

[@navneetsandhu7717]

Thank you so much I just admire me to become best mom like u

[@alejandraortega3681]

This video is just what I needed . Thank you!

[@VIVLEVON]

I never bonded with my parents. Know my dad wants to bond with me know that I am an adult and I really don’t care to even be around them. They didn’t care for me as a kid and know I really don’t care if they die alone. I am still healing of all the damage my dad did to us and my mom well she was in the house but she never was, she never connected whit me so I never even knew my mom and I lived with her, I only know that she will get sad wen dad left her or the next man left her she was more a woman than a mom and dad was abusive specially with words and actions. I hate my dad! And I don’t understand my mom. I am still trying so hard to heal from all the trama and I just can’t figure out how to heal some areas. They never even taught me anything 😢 I feel so hurt and I don’t want to do the same to my kids I am trying soo hard 😭😪 I feel all the wait on me.

[@kaneezraza5752]

God bless you

[@zr8393]

Lovely. May God bless you

[@cataleyaayabombe8403]

I needed this video, thank you so much Jady!

[@MrAlpha235]

Superb - You are amazing . What a beautiful video that reminds all parents that bonding is indeed the key..excellent

[@yashwanth456]

Thank you very much

[@quaymbo]

Loved this video and such a great reminder for me and other parents. I also just listen to myself and I also wouldn’t be my friend sometimes 😖 I really enjoy your videos! Please make a hand clapping game video ❤️

[@JadyA]

I made the hand clapping video a while back! go check it out!

[@Isamariemar]

I’d love to see your favorite hand clapping games! My kids and I do a few. We learned some from ‘I Love You Rituals’.

[@sarahp.3772]

This is good, but what most parents don't want is for their child to be around them 24/7. There are many parents that, I suppose, love their children, but still want time (a lot of time) away from their children.

[@p3teytran]

I have that same issue and I realize that is me not finding peace and relaxation in just being present with my kids. My mind is always racing thinking about the next thing I need to do, which makes me feel like I need more of my own time. Dr. Gabe Mate really opened my eyes to striving to find peace just being with my kids. Good luck on your parenting journey

[@erisaratv12]

Thanks

[@practicepretty]

This was amazing

[@bridgetharvey9882]

I would love to know how to start caressing your child or being physically affectionate. I feel like my daughter doesn’t like being hugged or cuddling or me touching her hair. She like me to hold her and I try as much as I can. Any tips would help so much thank you.

[@vintagejaki751]

My son hates his back rubbed. It took me a while to understand his back is very ticklish and touch is unbearable. Your child may be super sensitive to bare touch.

[@kjs9]

[@yamunajolicoeur2807]

Wow your are amazing 👏 ❣🙏

[@deniseflores80]

Our 32 month old has been waking up between 2-4am daily. We have a good routine, but she wants to start her day at that time. She sleeps in a crib in the bedroom with my husband, son and I. She will start jumping and singing very loud. I have tried everything and don't know what to do. Any advice? I'm a SAHM and my husband works full time. I have gotten to a point where I have to take her to the living room so my husband can get sleep so he can work. Would love some advice, thanks. Also this just started about 6 weeks ago, nothing has change in our home and she is also speech delayed.

[@mercyyarney5013]

I would like to learn more about hand clapping. Thanks

[@AuthenticlyMe007]

My kids always want to show me something and I can tell they want me to give them praise but is it realistic to congratulate them on everything big things yes but small things ? Will they grow up and think they have to impress people???

[@almabradley5561]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@FavourAnnShiku]

Your face is glowing what do yu use share tips,no lines just smooth 😄

[@agnesbukasa357]

Hi Jady. I just want to thank you for your videos. I use your parenting strategies with my kids on the spectrum. But one thing I wanted to let you know was to be careful of Dr Becky Bailey. She is a New Ager, and bases her teachings on New Age, and from a book called a Course of Miracles. So just be careful with her teachings.

[@Damaris972.]

Playing with my kids bores me to dead, especially play pretend I just can't stand it more than 5 minutes... I know they love it but I just can't. Maybe because my mom never did it with me.

[@rav1109]

Please make videos about hand clapping game.

[@JadyA]

I did!

[@jessestam]

video about hand claps, please.

[@JadyA]

It was made some months ago!

[@gracedeline7389]

Any privileges that you would NOT take away as a discipline? Storytime or one on one time? I have heard different arguments for each side..

[@yahgonz31217]

Hello would I be able to have your email? I had a request but wanted to personally send you about a topic that I feel you can talk about with the wisdom God has given you.

[@yahgonz31217]

Please do the clapping 👏 songs for us one day! I would love to remember them and show them to my children

[@bettylove9506]

I WISH I NOW U B4 2years !
