Reacting To Your Assumptions About Our Marriage & Parenting…

[@cleo3911]

My daughter has had a tablet since she was 6 months old and she’s ahead. Every single kid is different and there is no normal. We are all just doing the best we can to raise good humans!

[@yeszeniahdz9503]

Same here. My daughter has had one since she was 1 and she was reading fluently by kindergarten which her classmates were not. It all depends 🙂

[@isabelchu7125]

I saw how Julius get emotional when Des is talking about how they are supporting Koa. As a mom of a speech delayed kid, let me tell you, I FEEL YOU! People’s assumptions about how you guys handle it when they haven’t been in that situation, it’s disgusting. You both are going through a lot trying to do the best for him, I’m pretty sure about it. Sending you love and support ❤

[@mercedesalvarez4138]

I love how raw you guys are such genuine people. My son had a speech delay as well he’s a covid baby and he’s turning 4 in November now that he’s started school his speech has improved tremendously. Be patient with him and help him with his speech by reading and fun learning activities at home. Tiktok was my best friend when learning how to help him. You guys are doing great 🤍

[@Itsjazyy]

🥺❤️my son is also turning 4 in nov and has developmental delay. It truly takes time and patience and when you finally see improvement it’s overload of happiness. ❤️ god bless you and your son!

[@hannahbridges]

love how destiny’s momma bear came out taking up for Koa about his speech delay🩷

[@LisaMarie-y1x]

Hell yeah thy mat was my favorite part! Both of them are super strong because us supporters don’t have any privileges on knowing their person life. The fact that they touched on such a touchy subject I solute them and especially for being so mature about it! It’s obvious how much they love Koa.

[@sashajaz7029]

Notice how emotional juju got both times when speaking on koa, he was trying to laugh it out. Please people be kind think about if someone said those things about ur kid or your love one….

[@angelinamarquez1023]

My son is almost 5 years old, autistic, severely delayed with speech, has fragile x syndrome and is still a wonderful child. He may not be like every other child and may have challenges but doesn't make him any less special or any less important. He's in speech therapy, food therapy, aba therapy, occupational therapy. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you are not a great parent. Those who know, know. If they walked a day in our shoes they would shut the f up. Love you guys. You're doing great 👍

[@TT.3123]

You’re also doing great! 🥺

Mine too dear, you are not alone in this

[@marthagutierrez8114]

I don’t understand how people can assume ANYTHING. We see you at the most an hour a week.🤦🏽‍♀️some people

[@fc849]

So true.

[@fc849]

In Islam you are supposed to assume the best of someone

[@sireeshak1979]

Ppl just dumb 🙄

[@minenhlemaphanga9548]

That’s why assumptions are made. People who know little to nothing about your personal life assume based off the glimpse you give them. What you mean to say is why do people assume the worst rather instead of why are they assuming at all. I have been following them for a hot minute and I ASSUME they are good people and great parents, it’s an assumption because I don’t know them like that

[@Louisa7223]

Right 😂😂😂 people like tht think they are so smart lol like do yu live in their house to know tht is true?😂 lol

[@MariaMartinez_07]

I like how open you guys are. Being vulnerable about others assumptions isn’t easy. Julius looks like he may be getting over a cold or allergies but I hope he’s feeling better and on the mend if this is the case. You two are wonderful parents to Koa. ❤😊

[@pamkeibler8759]

Y'all are Great very understanding Parents! Not everyone is cut out to be a parent with a child that needs that extra attention! Keep up the great work Momma and Dadda!❤❤❤

[@I.love.music2022]

I think you both are great as parents and there is no judgement on how you raise your son. You do what is right for you and your family, no one has that right to say you are parenting wrong everyone has their own way and it doesn't mean that you are wrong. My grandma still tells my cousin and my aunts how to raise their children and she already had her chance doing so when she raised her kids. That's why I would never tell someone they are bad parents. Much love and respect to you and your family. God bless you😊💜

[@skylaclae8096]

Hey juju & des! I love you guys I’ve been watching yall since b4 koa was born! I just wanted to drop a comment and say that talking to him in a baby voice might not be THE reason he has speech delay but it’s definitely a factor. baby talking Your kids is proven to cause abnormal speech or speech delay. Also screen time is detrimental to kids development also not saying that this is the reason he has a speech delay but is definitely a factor. Screen time causes speech delays and in learning. Zero hours of screen time is recommended until the ages of five and up. I love you guys regardless, but just correcting you.

[@angryken]

I think you both are great parents and Koa is lucky to have y’all just as you are lucky to have him! Praying for baby Koa to develop his speech fast but always in God’s timing 🙏🏾 have Faith, Juju & Des!

[@RubyCarlo-u6w]

I’m not sure if you guys will read this but my son had a speech delay and once we bought him an educational tablet he started talking a lot more. So electronics when controlled and used correctly are a huge help for children.

[@bettywysinger6602]

It’s nice you balance each other out.Always do what works best for your family.😊

[@Christina-uq8oe]

Omg yalls laugh is contagious. I’m over here laughing along with y’all 😂

[@angryken]

As parents, whenever our kids fall short we tend to blame ourselves for it bc they are a reflection of us. So I know you two must be privately going through it but ISAIAH 40:31 says those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. Praying for baby Koa to be covered in His spirit and be protected by God’s armor AMEN

I’m with you Des with the reassurance of my small decisions🤣. I’m like that with my husband and he literally never knows what to reply lol! Julius made me scream laughing when he started laughing about destiny’s head😂😂. Love y’all!

[@sheiir2250]

As a momma of a nonverbal 3 yr old as well it’s so comforting seeing how much we do relate in our situations and you guys are doing amazing !! ❤️

[@shaantiavilez669]

The whole destiny talking to him like a baby does affect them , that’s why they always say talk to them in your normal voice

[@nanabosefe.danemark8]

Yes, but it’s not the reason why he is late… I never talk to my baby with the baby voice, but he is still late. Cases are différents.

I really appreciate what Julius said in the begginng of the video of what works for some doesn't for others etc. . That said it all & its ridiculous how people jump to conclusions & assumptions about you two .Thanks for sharing & keep doing what y'all are doing its working & you're all thriving,Im sure ..👌🏽✌🏽🌞

[@our_ohana]

My oldest was non verbal up until age 5/6 and I didn’t start intervention for him until about age 3.5-4. He is 12 now and thriving. You both are doing a great job at raising Koa. It bothers me a bit because some of these assumptions are pretty harsh and yet people can’t give grace where it’s due. Y’all are first time parents going through the motions of life and parenthood and I think y’all are doing a fantastic job ❤ love y’all

[@BellaFerreira-kv2iy]

I adore you guys ❤ huge support from London 🇬🇧 I think true supporters would only give good advice! Never criticise! My advice as a teacher of learning difficulties would suggest.. When you speak to Koa To speak short and clear And consistent with the same words x Short and clear so he takes it in x Same voice tone every time x Don’t pro long the words ! Short n sharp 👌 as then Koa will eventually take it in x Both a team ❤️‍🔥

Koa will do fine. Continue with the speech services and continue to think positive. I’m praying that his speech begins to blossom. It is done! These kids are smarter than we know. And you all are the best parents for Koa. You all got this!

I am a 21 year old mom to a 2 year old who has a very advanced vocabulary for her age her teachers always tell me. I feel like screen time and interaction with me, other family or kids at school helped a lot. My girls very smart but in turn she’s very VERY sassy 😂

Des find a church’ has you build relationships with God you guys can also build healthy relationships with godly families/ friends+ a church with Sunday school for kids it’ll be so much fun for Koa while he gets to grow up learning about Jesus Christ!

[@acaciasmith]

I appreciate y’all sharing this. One thing I’ll say is that I don’t think people mean now about the baby talk but from newborn stage and up it’s important to speak to them regularly than with baby talk but I do work with children with disabilities and I get it. I like to say all abilities because truly they are capable with their own faculties

[@nanabosefe.danemark8]

[@anissamaldonado5698]

I hate the questions about Koa, that’s nobodies business, for them to even ask y’all that is gross. A speech delay doesn’t mean you watch tv all day long, doesn’t mean the kid isn’t paid attention to, it’s just how the child processes things & using their voice. Y’all are doing everything in y’all’s power to help him & that’s all that matters! 🫶🏻

You guys are doing great! Don't mind the haters. idek how ppl get these assumptions 😂 You guys are definitely very patient and kids need patient parents, especially when they cannot verbally tell you want they want and need. You'd think it's hard for you. Imagine being a tiny toddler can't dont know any better and cant tell. Koa will definitely talk one day... enjoy the time he's not arguing back. Lbvs! ❤❤

Kids should not be corrected, they should be redirected! No, don't touch that... verses, If you touch that it can fall, break, and you can get hurt. •Don't sit there •if you sit there you can fall and get hurt. Sit on your chair so you don't fall. You guys are doing a great job!!! Teaching and spending a lot of with the kids is the key. My granddaughter is 14 months and has learned so much from Ms. Rachel. I limit the time with the ipad, but sometimes she get up and plays with other toys. I wouldn't take it away from her. Computers are in the schools and they need to learn how to use them. Abusing it all day and no other activities beside the ipad is the problem. When a child is not given other choices!

[@livvy.mcguire]

I know I've spoken on this before. But my son has a speech delay and in speech therapy, he has an IEP, failed his vision test and had to have behavioral screening done and all I know/was told is that he failed and is testing at a 2-3 year old age range at 4 years old! All I could think at first was my poor baby! What else could happen? but once we started taking the steps that HE needed to flourish BABY he talks (in his jargon 😂) to me but he won't answer a direct question, he's stubborn but thrives off his routine! he loves tv and playing with friends but enjoys independent play more. He hyperfocuses on the weather, dinosaurs and cars. I say alllllll of this to say: don't listen to everyone else. listen to your baby and you parental instincts. YOU know your child more than anyone. Just know the true supporters love him and want the best for him!! (and y'all 🤪❤)

[@lifewithnicole2717]

Are you afraid that koa might be on the spectrum? I think ABA would be so helpful!

My nephew is on the spectrum and he’s no different from other kids. He’s wonderful! I feel like I see a lot in Koa as to what we saw in my nephew.

I pray ne married couple fights to make it thru any trials n tribulations stay strong n always remember y u chose each other n that god makes zeroooo mistakes. My assumptions were : 1) Julius misses he's friends , he wants to live in a different state probably, he's bored , misses the fun part , prob wants his own channel outside of the family typa channel 2) destiny is a cry baby 24/7 and needs emotional support about everything more then the average girl Some things obviously deserves tears. Most things don't . I think destiny cares too much what strangers think. 3) i think you guys are worried about koas development , worried somthing might be seriously wrong . But I think ur using all the resources u can ur doing ur best and that's all u can do . Thank god you r financially stable enough to afford help 4) I think koa is a loved baby . He shows affection because he is shown affection
