Honey, it doesn’t matter what other people thinks. People will judge no matter what. If she’s running around, they will judge... If she’s attached to you, they will judge… at the end of the day, you’re just keeping your daughter safe. So let them judge and you do what’s best for you and your daughter. No one knows how to love and keep her safe as well as you do! You’re a great mom!

[@DrkNSwt]

Rose, you said everything i was thinking.

[@everythingoshaya]

Amen 🙏 Happy mommy happy baby! Best decision for your family. Plus it teaches her to stay with you, that will provide security. Congrats mommy, this is a win 🥇

[@4LADYSWEET]

Yes! She is such a great mom 💗

[@kevaughnrae]

I have to admit I side-eye parents who have their children on a leash; however, this has taught me to not be so judgmental b/c you never know someone’s situation. Thank you for being so transparent Vaughn!

[@nicoleholmes9743]

I know how you feel because in our culture you just don’t do that. However, it is for her safety. I’m a sped teacher and I currently have a runner in my class and our main concern is keeping the student safe . And remember the goal is you are teaching her the appropriate behavior by using the item and the hope/ goal is one day she won’t need it . ❤️

[@Star-Mac10]

You're tethered together spiritually and now physically. Let it do what it do!

[@iamshe3275]

I love this comment!

[@flygirlSince79]

Me too!

[@AmmaMama]

I know it may be hard sometimes, but def don't care about what people think. Anne is precious and must be protected at all costs. KUDOS to you for stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new for the safety of Anne. God bless and protect you all always and thanks for sharing.

[@drdylesia]

Give it a “human” name! Maybe something Spanish! ❤️ That way you can say “let’s take ____” to the store versus “let’s take the _____” to the store. The personification will help you normalize it, make it apart of your family, and care less what others think! Family is who/what protects us, so it’s a family member for sure!

[@simplyjenell5850]

Love this idea

[@NaturalJournee]

They also have ones that look like little backpacks, cute little animals and characters with the ‘tether’ - may be more comfortable to use

[@donnac.3273]

At this point l, I can give 0 f*cks what anyone says and thinks. I am a parent and I will protect my child at all costs. This is a great ideal💡 . I will surely recommend this tool for special needs. I am not a parent of a special need child but I can appreciate learning. Like you stated, if she wasn't feeling it, you was not going to use it. I understand Anthony's point of view too with the stigma of the "leash" concern. Keep being the great parents you both are with Anne. It was the excitement in your voice for me. It looks like you were holding hands.🤗🤗

[@IrieMarie22]

When you realized Ann was following you, it almost brought me to tears!!I could hear your joy and relief!!❤️

[@photogenic305]

Me too!!!!!! But when she took detached the piece off of her mom’s wrist that was funny. She is too smart! Anything Vaughn has to do because when Ann ran off in the previous vlog I was nervous. I’m glad the new solution works well in public for them. Bless

[@LuvinLyfe052]

Me too!!!

[@sandyg.3454]

I know, it was so wonderful!!!

[@jasmine-up8hs]

This was an emotional video! When you said “To have a solution.” Yes ma’am. I can understand how that made your world so much easier. You are a good mom and let people say whatever. Happy for your family.

[@indigospice2217]

Hi Vaughn, please use the harness!! My daughter was two and got lost in a mall, during Labor Day weekend!! I thought I was never going to see my child again. I quickly went and got the "leash," harness, tether. After her getting lost, it didn't matter to me one iota what the damn thing was called, my child was with me and still had her pseudo independence. Like you said, gotta keep her safe.

[@TheZebraTribe]

Anne is too cute! Do what you need to to protect your sweet baby girl. Whatever makes you feel comfortable. She’s beyond loved by both her parents so whatever you do will be best for her too. ❤️

[@dorothybillups9776]

We have one with butterfly wings for my 4 year old grand daughter on the spectrum and I tell people you don't know my struggles. She will run and hide and can not tell people her name and she does not understand danger. So I use a harness to keep her when we went to disney and she stayed in her stroller most of the time. Special needs call for special care and handling.

[@desiraedoingthemost5339]

Sis, from one autism mom to another, do what you need to do for you and your daughter! Some dads just have a different relationship, and that's ok. My husband doesn't do my daughters hair. And her behavior when we are out is not always the same with him as it is with me. So when it's just me and her, I make the necessary adjustments. As for the perception of everybody else, y'all ain't with me when I'm shooting in the gym! You know what I'm trying to say! LOL

[@shonmajette3452]

Exactly!!

[@brooklynbridge2220]

I’m watching the vlog and screaming “YES!”with excitement as you were saying “it’s working!” Anne is so cute and you’re such a phenomenal woman, mother and wife! All the best to Anthony with his training!

[@DarleneMW]

Vaughn, not flossing after a teeth cleaning is NOT normal! She didn’t do her job! My dental hygienist not only flosses after, but she checks the tongue for abnormalities EVERYTIME.

[@simplypsych6697]

that part 🤨🤔

[@doctorjones2404]

Agreed! I would suggest finding a new dentist!

[@Ms_TRenee]

Do what you need to do to keep YOUR child safe..what others say is not a factor! ❤️❤️

[@GabbiGriffinTV]

I love how transparent you are with the safety measures you're taking with Anne. My grandmother adopted my uncle, who is on the spectrum, much later in life. She was having a hard time even considering using a child leash, but after one trip to the grocery store with it she has loved it ever since. Her anxiety around going places and losing him has lessened tremendously. Thank you so much for sharing💚

[@MsMonique]

Anne is absolutely beautiful!! I love the harness idea just for the baby's safety and your peace of mind as her mother.

[@hausofrlateish]

Ms. Vaughn, you are an amazing mother. I have no idea how hard it must be to be a parent of an autistic child, although I have worked for 13 years in the Special service section. I think you're doing a great job with Anne. Just keep doing what you're doing to protect your baby.

[@renataharewood1297]

Anne’s bodyguard, lol, when she took the wrist band off of you. Hunni, I was like she picked up so fast. LMTO, the cutest. I’m just an auntie and I remember the day my nephew ran down the street and decided to run across the street. Those little legs move so fast.

[@shaylajones3732]

Fingers crossed Vaughn! My autistic son is 7 and I mostly grocery shops without him or do curbside pickup if I don’t need produce or veggies. However, I have noticed that he has gotten MUCH better now that he is older. They worked on that a lot when he was in ABA. Pre-covid they did community trips to the grocery store with the kids. Best of luck and yes f what they think 😀

[@iamshe3275]

My second daughter had one...I didn't care if they called a leash or whatever. My daughter was 2 and a runner! She was fast and I was slow. When people stared I smiled when they said something I told them to buy themselves a muzzle!

[@ctilly5859]

People always have something to say. If she allowed her daughter to run around, they'd have a comment about that too. I had a harness for my little one also. Safety first!

[@10meme11]

THIS! 💯 Same with my second son! 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@janicafreeman9338]

Two things: 1) A cleaning with no flossing is a no go. 2)Do what is best and safest for you and Annie Boo! A mother has to sacrifice for her children even if uncomfortable. I love that you’re doing what you feel is right to keep her safe when y’all are out in the world. ♥️

[@ashleyluvify]

so perfect! maybe you can try using it going for a walk around the neighborhood to get her used to using it out and about before jumping right in to a store which can be an overwhelming sensory experience in itself. LOVE your vlogs!

[@takishajohnson7145]

The relief on your face with the harnest for your baby. I really hope that this works out for you both. Ignore the miserable people and do what is best for you and your family ❤

[@defblue1994]

To see the relief on your face speaks volumes. You’re a wonderful mother!! So never worry about what others may think.

[@according2liv]

I bought this same harness for my 7yr old son, who is also on the Spectrum. At first, he was very reluctant to use this, but now he knows that it's to ensure he's safe. I love that it has a locking mechanism that only the parents can use, ensuring safety. Not only do we use it for when we are out and about, but his teachers also use it because they also know that is a runner, and have had several "escape sessions" in the past while at school. Don't let anyone deter you from using this. We have gotten the "stares" and negative comments in public, but I don't let that bother me! I have to make sure that he is safe, and that's what matters most! 💕

[@nataleegordonboone184]

I think everyone needs a pinky, cause people are snatching kids left right and center so you do what makes you comfortable and makes you feel safe.

[@breyshanna12]

Whats funny is that after your last video I actually looked this same tether and screenshoted it and was going to send it to you on instagram! I think its a great idea ! It gives anne the freedom to explore and roam but gives you comfort and peace of mind ❤️ awesome solution!

[@deborahriley7212]

We are learning as a ppl to use the available tools to manage our own situations. I'm proud of you Mom for protecting your baby girl ❤

[@elaineyd2133]

Neurotypical mom here and I needed one for my child who was that age. Brought me a sense of sanity !!!

[@first_ladyfox8432]

I love that you always sit outside it looks so peaceful. I don’t utilize my backyard at all, always something flying and crawling and my anxiety can’t handle it.

[@helloamericanbabi]

Having a harness on your child gives you a piece of mind and keeps your child safe until they're older / able to listen better. You have to do whatever it takes as a parent/mom to keep your babies safe!

[@rayshawnwebster5726]

The beautiful bond you have with your daughter is such a blessing 🥰

[@deirdreb.3123]

You touch my heart when you said I have to keep my baby safe. It brought tears to my eyes. My husband and I adopted a girl and boy sibling and we just want then to be safe and healthy.

[@lindaburgundy5301]

Girl I admire your sense of parenting your a porch with new ideals and you keeping it real about your family much love to everyone

[@Jo_So_Random]

Y’all don’t think Ann be knowing but she be knowing 😜

[@S.NikkiKellz]

I say call it your “connection” or something. It’s 2021, and even children w/o special needs can greatly benefit from this because people are crazy snatching up kids as soon as they get the chance. So don’t even sweat it. You’ve got to do what’s best for you and Annie Booski! I could hear the relief in your voice when she took to it.

[@consciousoftheculture994]

From one mommy to another, nothing is too ridiculous when it comes to keeping our babies safe. Do what works best for you and your family 😊 Sansa said that smells good! Give me some! 😂

[@BeautifulSoul801]

Hi, guys! I’ve heard people refer to the harness as a child safety tether which is a much more comfortable and appropriate term to me.

[@mssurles1]

Anne’s face is like I’m so happy you are happy mommy 🥰

[@jeannettecannon1371]

Every time I watch you with Sweet Anne it melts my heart. Bless you and your hubby for being such dedicated parents🙏🏽💖

[@hisimage85]

Honestly, when you mentioned the situation last vlog, I was thinking of the “tether” but I DARED not mention it! I’m glad you were open to it tho. Anne seems to have adjusted to it right away and doesn’t seem to mind it.

[@adorkables4986]

They have the one where it’s a separate wrist band but it has the key to lock hers in place but it also comes with the harness for extra security. My son has ASD and it gives me extra security knowing that he’s close but he still has the freedom to walk with me instead of me holding him. He enjoys it and he runs too so girl I know how you feel! Lol

[@TheMuffin1983]

I love you authentic approach to this concern and I think you are doing an amazing job with Ann I know she feels loved and protected by you and Anthony

[@stronggiftfromgod]

So glad it’s working for you and Anne! I know you feel relieved knowing that she will be safer and closer to you! You know you a real MVP when a 23 minute vlog is considered short! Love having you part of my Sunday! Be well sis! 🤍

[@moofy1339]

Vaughn, I had one for my son, a little monkey backpack and his tail was the strap for parents. I loved it. It gave him some freedom but allowed me to control. My family didn’t like it, said it looked like a leash, but I didn’t care, it gave me peace of mind.

[@youngonejen9742]

MsVaughn, I used the tether on both of my boys and that was 20 and 18 years ago and I didn’t give a damn what others thought. It definitely came in handy because my boys were active. It definitely came in handy and gave me a peace of mind…used it everywhere…airports…Disneyland…and shopping. Do whatever is comfortable for you and Lady Anne!🤗

[@youngonejen9742]

By the way, you are the BEST wife and mother ever!🤗

[@lachelsk]

I applaud you!!! I work with sweet babies like Ann everyday. It is Imperative that we keep them safe. You must make the best decisions for you and your family.

[@judismith2162]

I had one for my son and I felt some kind of way about it… but he use to bolt and run… I would put it on when we would go to amusement parks or anywhere there were large crowds of people… I got over the stares and what people may have thought; one lady felt the need to open her trap to which I replied like a mother who wanted to keep her son safe, to which she had no comeback. Keep your baby safe and your nerves intact; people will be alright… it’s a love thing

[@ceviharris]

Hunty, other people who have an negative opinion can kick rocks. A child safety is very important rather special needs or not. This video was very insightful and helpful for me, as I am a mom of a autistic 2 year old who runs any moment you let him go. To see that Ann was so receiving of the harness made me more confident with trying one, because I had been thinking about it for awhile. I rather my child be safe than a accident happen within the blink of an eye because he got away for a second. Love your videos, your so real 🥰

[@sandyg.3454]

Vaughn, your grocery store may be able to assist you by assigning an employee to help you shop. Call or go to customer service and ask for help. Another option is using the Pickup or Delivery service of your grocery store. Also Shipt, Instacart and Amazon can deliver your groceries as well. I have a chronic illness, a disability now that prevents me from in store shopping. Those times that you really need to hand pick items that warrant in person shopping, wait for Anthony to come home. I usually ask my daughter because she knows how I shop and what I like. I used to pickup groceries on the way home after work without children it was stress-free! The stress of chasing a child, looking for your child is horrible, I felt like I had several heart attacks looking for my daughter when she was a toddler. I'm a single parent, I speak from experience my daughters are 36 and 40 years old now and I'm the grandmother of four wonderful children. I hope this information is useful.

[@aleciahayes9914]

Im late watching this vlog and this may have already been addressed but I experienced the same issue with my son with ASD. The Caroline Cart was a life saver and if your favorite or frequented stores dont have them; put in a request at that store that they order one. Your money and support goes to the store and therefore they want you and your family to feel comfortable and safe as you shop too. It may even require a letter but completely worth it.

[@courtneybougie7904]

You’re adorable. Such a good Mom. Tether. Lifeline. Pinky. Whatever you all decide to call the device, if it works and keeps precious Anne safe and your heart is at ease, go for it. Go Anthony!!! Yes. I love your family. So goal oriented. Looking forward to hearing good news soon. Blessings always. XO

[@TracyO]

Good Mamas keep their babies safe no matter what it takes. Anne is a beautiful child. Congratulations. xo

[@uniquelylechelle1064]

I had one with my second child and used it especially when we were in high-traffic situations like the fair or mall. I didn't care what other people thought. My husband and I were comfortable with it and it kept our child close and safe!

[@Pianopraiser]

I am glad the restraint was suggested. I think it’s a good thing. We want to keep Anne safe. I was concerned with her running. You are a great mom. If it works get another one and leave in the car. Your patio is so calming.

[@nancybates5819]

Remember that you're an amazing Mom and you must provide a safe environment. For you and your child nevermind what anyone has to say. You and Anthony are doing an amazing job with Annie keep up the great work love you guys.❤️❤️❤️

[@carmenitaspann-clark5616]

Anne is too cute. She took off😂. Listen, do what you need to do to keep your baby safe. I see many parents using them in the store. I work with children and adolescents w/ special needs and a large majority of the parents use the harness and some use locators for the older children. You are doing a great job!

[@angelaalexis6077]

I got so emotional when you was explaining Anne safety. She’s a beautiful Princess. As parents we should do what’s best for our children safety.

[@AmmaMama]

That sandwich looks good. Best wishes to Ant on his training for his promotion.

[@reejaye6395]

Keeping our babies safe is number one rule, so whatever it. I would decorate the harness with all things girly, butterflies, rainbows, ribbons ,just make it unique.

[@kellyejackson3627]

I just love to see the new vlogs come up. I get so excited… lol So being in dentistry for many many years no it’s not ok for your hygienist not to floss you. You should schedule with someone else next time or find a new dentist… Also I feel you on the harness situation. Her safety is first so you have to try new things to keep your stress level down while trying to do the shopping. You were genuinely shocked that she followed you and that was a very touching moment. Keep you the amazing job and always thank you for sharing❤️

[@Savantskd]

“I’m wishing you ”Happy Mother’s Day!” everyday! Your motherhood skills, openness, mindfulness, strategies, love, foresight and devotion are superb! Anne, Anthony and your extended family are blessed beyond measure. 💜🛐💜 I’m proud to be a KZbin acquaintance and to have the honor of referring MsVaughnTV to other “💐Spectrum Super Moms!💐

[@TiffanyAntoinette]

Aww that matters is that Ann is safe and you guys feel comfortable! Forget the rest 💕

[@carmay3600]

My 5 year old daughter is autistic. When she was little we had to get her a backpack with an attachment that I would connect to my belt. We had to get it to keep her safe because she would get so excited and distracted by things. She loved the backpack because she knew it meant that she got to go somewhere and walk around. It became a routine: if you want to go let’s get your shoes and jacket and backpack. Now that she is older she doesn’t need the backpack. However, sometimes I have to nudge her towards the car because she still gets so distracted by pretty flowers. My husband witnessed how far she would run away so he would always make sure that I had the backpack. My husband goes through a lot safety drills at his job so he understood how dangerous her running away was; especially her being so distracted that she can’t follow the family safety protocol. I noticed that many people looked approvingly, especially when they witnessed other kids just all over the place. Meanwhile my 3 children were well within reach and listening to me. My youngest was the only one on a tether.

[@feleciaa1]

Vaughn you gotta do what you gotta do to keep our Niece safe. I literally screamed with excitement when she followed you! Great job Anne and Mommy. ❤️❤️❤️

[@rosalynswindell2631]

We don't care about what people think PROTECT your sweet baby girl at all costs 💕 we love you too 😘

[@MsLadytray]

Every parent with a child with a special need understands this. The educator understands and any parent that loves their child understands and if you have a loved one that isn't your child you understand ...SAFETY FIRST! My son is on the spectrum, he is 25 and baby let me tell you if I had that fear he would have one even NOW! Thank you for always sharing the realness in the challenges we face as parents of children with challenges. Anne said you goin inside cause i'm gon finish what i'm doing with this here plant lmbo

[@tiffanythornton1937]

I like what you came up with for Anne. Smart choice. Hope it works for you in the stores!

[@glamazini]

This may not be necessary since she can walk but several supermarkets now have a "Caroline's Cart" typically near the entrance or customer service. Look it up. I already saw the next vlog about the tether working so that may be a better option in your case. 💛

[@MsVaughnTV]

We’ve tried this cart before. Thank you. We also require assistance however at places that don’t typically offer carts at all like malls, carnivals, dealerships, etc.

[@WinniesJournal]

Don’t feel bad. My nephew has adhd and he was so hyper as a kid so when he got to walking stage my sis got him a “buddy” and she got a few stares and some sideyes but it honestly was for the best. We as black people all know the stigma of leashes and etc, but No one knows anyone else lifestyle and child’s temperament so I don’t think anyone should judge. He’s 8 now and is still hyper as ever but I can count so many times that buddy saved his life. His was basically a owl teddy bear attached to a wristlet so I think that it’s perfectly ok. Safety first!

[@VonshiT]

I got so excited to see that the tether worked in your favor. I would recommend keeping it out of her sight so each time she uses it, it’ll be a new experience rather than a toy that she plays with and gets bored with it. Love you guys!❤️❤️❤️

[@magbarr2760]

Yayy!! So excited you were able to get something that works for both of you and makes you both comfortable

[@NaturallyFearless]

I have a backpack tether for my daughter and honestly it helps so much with my anxiety and being out with her cause she is a runner. And keeping her safe is my top priority. I dont care what ppl think. Gotta do what works for your family and your children. And this will probably help Anne understand the concept of following and staying with mommy. From one Autism mom to another Vaughn u do amazing with Annie Boo💜💜💜

[@simplyjenell5850]

I say the tether situation is perfect if it’s going to keep Anne safe and ease your anxieties of her running off. It’s only temporary, I’m here for it. Soon, this will be a memory and you’ll be like “ Remember that time I had to use a tether for you girl” ?!! 😅😅

[@lindamartin218]

This is my first time watching your channel.... and I'm so happy is this video! What a beautiful daughter you have! And what a wonderful mother I can feel you are!! Blessings... new subscriber !

[@belindacoleman9662]

My sister, I cracked up, when Anne undid your velcro wrist band and ran away. Miss Anne is smart and too cute. Seriously, I understand the needed to use the "mommy's helper." If I needed one, I would use one, too. Peace and Blessings 💙💛🙏🏽

[@estherolawuyi1687]

I like you. I love that you want to protect your princess. I love that you're being a mom even if hubby is not about it.

[@rauchellesuggs1568]

I’m 😂🤣😂@ you Vaughn on your aha moment with the harness strap thingy. It’s working well and very girly looking.👌🏾

[@keonamorrison]

Congratulations on finding this solution! I have a 2 yo who likes to run and I totally understand. Protect your child and minimize those risks by any means necessary. Do you boo.

[@davidasmart1082]

Vaughn don't worry about what nobody has to say, your child, your rules. I don't feel ashamed about caring about my child's well-being. We support you sis!

[@danielleortiz4442]

I'm a single part and would use one to travel, two roller bags and back pack and purse.You do what you gotta do. I'm so ready to get consult from that dentist up north myself!

[@APotToPlantIn]

Hi! I had one waaay back in the day for my daughter. We were going to Six Flags (she was about 3 or 4) and Someone suggested it to me to prevent the CRAZIES from snatching her in .0004 secs. I continued using it in the grocery store and any place that was crowded. Do what’s best for you and YOUR baby. Thank God I raised my child before ppl WE DONT KNOW had an opinion about others life choices. 😩

[@wingingitwithgalinkie7561]

“I love it that there’s a solution. As long as you and Ann are happy and there’s a solution then nothing else matters

[@81cterrell]

Listen you are the parent and you want to keep her safe…so do what you feel is best! I have seen something similar but it was a backpack style…small cute bag. Maybe try that😊

[@DaFaBBMiSs3s]

It's such a good idea! This is what I was thinking of in the last video. They have cute ones with like a teddy backpack. Better safe than sorry

[@charlye6380]

The "tether" is ok, I was always against it until I saw this version. My niece is autistic and she would benefit from this, no more cart for her either. Tfs, your home is beautiful as well

[@Sarod2023]

The scene at 13:30 had me CRY-ING! Then Dad over there laughing and egging the kids on. That’s how it is with my husband too! I just ended up saying y’all kids and daddy can have each other, I’m reclaiming my peace !🤣

[@nouvellemichelle10]

I am all for tethering the little ones! That way they can still feel a little independent while remaining safe. I pray it continues to work for you

[@TheMzGraceful]

I love it! Like you said, gotta keep her safe. Let us know how it goes!! 💚

[@HomeCraftNThings]

I sell baby clothes and essentials and I do sell harnesses. I gave them to my nieces for their kids and they used them. We here in the virgin Islands don't look at things like that. It's the safety of the child, with or without a special need. You do you and protect your child and save yourself the stress of having to run and chase her around while you are out.

[@kymeishgaston7799]

I used to feel a way about the "leash", but times are different. Do what you must. I'd rather risk a rolled eye, over losing a loved one.

[@sassyclassyafro]

I’m in my 30s and my mom had one. I was a overt friendly and a wanderer. Lol it was necessary. You do what you have to for your kids safety.

[@justkemba1760]

I totally agree with doing what you have to in order to protect and keep your child safe. I too have issues with my son on the spectrum and following me in the stores and he is getting too big for the shopping cart and quite frankly wants no parts of it. One thing I have come to learn is with children on the spectrum, teach them the way they learn. So if by using the harness will develop Anne’s skills and understanding in following instructions and following you in the stores than it’s a go!

[@lachelle225]

Girl you made me laugh when Annie boo took off and smile at your relief that she was following you....🤗

[@NuByrth76]

OMG, this vlog just HELPED ME! It is difficult to defer to using things that were frowned upon like "what the..." But safety is absolutely first when it comes to our children. This vlog just gave me courage to do what must be done to keep our family safe. Great vlog, as always!!!

[@belindabillingsley1719]

The safety tether you purchased for Anne Boo seems to be a hit; the color was also a bonus! When she pulled the wrist band loose and ran I hollered 😂😂. I pray it all works out well🙏. Now, girl you make everything you prepare to eat look yummy. I've wanted to try that Ezekiel bread; can you compare it to something? I saw it at Traders Joe's. Great vlog as usual❤

[@pnkpixie84]

Unfortunately, I was one of those people (I was a teen) that talked bad about the moms who had a “leash” on their child😩 Little did I know, years later I would use a backpack harness for my child😅 I stayed holding his wrist every where went, so when we went to Disneyland, I hurried up and bought that backpack😂.
