Real Families: Expert Advice on Parenting Challenges

[@hollymay3173]

I can't cope with how Tracy treats Aaron especially constantly putting him down and swearing. No wonder he acts out, the dad clearly wants to change bless them

[@opalgoon6154]

I can't imagine going through that trauma when Elizabeth was born then having to parent without guilt...I get it, she's a strong mom that can really turn it around if she puts a lot of work in

[@janicewolk357]

You take the kid OUT of the restaurant and do it every time until she learns.

[@lucehoust989]

It’s just crazy how Tracey finds it weird to praise and show affection to her son. It’s like they’re not her children, makes you think how was she treated when she was younger? Because we obviously copy our parents through nearly everything, especially parenting

[@22Purplemist]

Not true. I raised my children completely differently to the way I was raised. You can break the the chain

[@lucehoust989]

22Purplemist well like I said ‘nearly everything’ I’m not saying the whole of humanity are exactly the same as their parents

[@libraz83]

So True to the Fact of how we were raised coming into our own parenting. And Yes We can change it, but it takes the awareness to be in place first. Some people Never See anything different then how they were raised though to be able to notice the difference of Fear based discipline and positive discipline. This is the closest thing to the Conscious Discipline Classes we took I've seen. It takes A lot of work to change how we react and to be assertive, and use positive perspective but it has been a huge blessing for us. Also were taught it takes your brain 2,000 times of doing something to break that habit and to be able to start using it as second nature so Anyone that gives it a try, stick to it, stay positive and you will be amazed! Point out what needs to be done instead of what's not (ex: hitting- hands to yourself, instead of stop or don't hit) getting on their level, making eye contact and physical contact are key. My hardest thing was giving praise to the things she already done every day properly, bc even us as adults don't give ourselves praise for the things we do everyday. In the states it's called Conscious Discipline.

[@kheperasekmet5197]

My mom ignored us I'm Always encouraging my children 💃💅🤓

[@retro.raider]

Some people struggle to show affection. I know I do. But I know id have to change if I ever have children. My shortcomings aren’t their fault

[@StandedInUtah]

The way Tracy talks to her son is horrible. Hearing people use foul language with their kids just makes me cringe. When their kids use the same words they are shocked.

[@sandcastles73]

You can see she is out of her depth with the praising because she herself probably didn't get any positive praise as a child/grown up. Her husband is constantly shouting at her too, so that won't help her own self esteem. He seems to get it, with the praising but isn't helping her understand.

[@StandedInUtah]

@@sandcastles73 I think you are right. She was raised with yelling and cussing and needs to have a new method of parenting taught to her.

[@janebullimore9]

What made me laugh in one clip the mother is swearing then the dad in another was saying it's his 5 year old fault what a joke can someone say denial

[@jaggirl]

wasn't he the dad who said that people think the kids get that foul language from them? Yes they do. It is from you..lol

[@lilianinafrica2243]

Easy to judge these parents. I feel for them. I think, I would also loose my patience.

[@Starritt_Piano]

Aaaawww that just melted my heart when I heard the child was premature!!! I was born 4 months early weighing 1 pound 6 ounces, I was back and for the hospital a lot and became blind as a result of retinopathy of prematurity. It’s tough when you see others aren’t making it, which is why the child is feeling so vulnerable and looking for attention. This is the most inspiring and relatable episode in the series, thank you so much for sharing it!!! I wish Elizabeth every success in her life 🤗🤗🤗💞😘

[@Jordan12709]

Paula seems like she has waited too long to receive support. She is overwhelmed and over tired and doesnt have the focus and energy to be positive. She needs a time out and then take on the challenge head on. She really needs to make sure Angus is safe and then walk away from the situation and take some deep breaths

[@kayvangarden9265]

O.M.G... tracey should not have kids or have them taken off her. The way she treats them an speaks to them is disgustingggg!! 👊

[@arianbaseball1089]

Agree

[@joeywilson6069]

If you ain’t want em don’t have em

[@caitlinlyons8376]

Angus whines at his mom and his mom whines at him, she whines as she says he whines 😂

[@maryamcc3689]

Haha soo true

[@Ebby-lu3cy]

Caitlin Lyons I feel badly for her tho...she seems like she tries the hardest. The little girl’s parents r trying too, but I think they’re just clueless as to how to deal w her being deaf & how frustrating that must be for children when they can’t express themselves.

[@pommiebears]

Caitlin Lyons yeah...I noticed that too. Her whining at him was as bad as his tantrums. A child his age really doesn’t understand when she whines about her lips cracking. It’s ridiculous.

[@c.elizabeth4503]

I feel so bad for her.

[@Footprints1921]

I'm not even 8 Minutes in and my heart is hurting for little Angus. I grew up with a verbally abusive mother myself and it left wounds and scars that run very, very deep. I desperately hope his mother learned something and stop her behaviour at once.

[@moonkissed3033]

Why is Tracy HORRIBLY VERBALLY ABUSIVE to her child......she DESPERATELY NEEDS some PARENTING COUNSELING just for herself!!!!

[@charlottem5325]

paula makes me so upset! i have adhd and a lot of angus's "bad behaviour" are entirely harmless typical adhd behaviours. "when he shuts up..." he is doing what's called stimming (short for self-stimulatory behaviour) it is calming and aids in focus for people w adhd, autism, etc.

[@Emyetmarina]

I'm really interested by your comment about stimming. Can you tell me more about it or point me to a ressource about this subject if you please ?

[@lynnelusch9508]

The majority of doctors in the UK don'r believe in ADHD here in the UK. Based on studies where children with this 'disorder' Have been put into an entirely different environment and disciplined differently . Their behaviour returns to a normal level without meds. It's shocking how many GP's would rather give pills when all that's really needed is a parenting course.

[@yoshidababies4222]

charlotte m What stimming behaviour is he displaying?

[@marie-andreec5164]

Right! He's not looking for attention, he's trying anything that will give him the endorphins that his brain needs. ADHD also explains his sleeping problems. I have ADHD (diagnosed as an adult) and have had sleeping problems as long as I can remember. It's not the child's fault.

[@azsli2]

Exactly! He's just stimming. Join him or leave the room. As long as he isnt hurting himself it's normal and necessary for all children but especially nuerodivergent kids. I have adhd too and if cant handle my daughter's stim i leave the room. If i can stay I'll dance, bark, howl or shake my shaker.

[@The2009An]

Tracey seems as though she’s never received praise herself. The couple should work on praising each other. Or rather, work on praising their own self and love yourself. We should all work on ourselves and learn to love ourselves so others (kids) can follow. I hope she knows she’s doing the best she can and she’s learning now to make adjustments in her life. She’s capable of changing. She’s just letting the frustration take over her. But that can all change. It’ll take time but it can. Respect to all mothers out there.

[@libraz83]

Beautifully Said💖

[@charmelalane4022]

Tracy should not have any children at all i dont think . Her behaaivor is bad

[@sandcastles73]

You can see she is out of her depth with the praising because she herself probably didn't get any positive praise as a child/grown up. Her husband is constantly shouting at her too, so that won't help her own self esteem. He seems to get it, with the praising but isn't helping her understand.

[@raph3156]

I think she has fasd too. Shes got the physical characteristics a bit, low frustration threshold , her impulse control is weak, and her inability to understand social norms is very clear. She does also have trauma and I think she plays it out on her children happily because it would probably release tension in her. I think her husband may also have fasd ,or a developmental disorder or an intellectual disorder, but hes got a willingness to learn and wants the best for his kids.

[@TheLadyaec]

Elizabeth often picks up magazines. I’d love for mine to always want books. It might be bc she can read since she can’t hear. Get her a book on tantrums. I don’t think she knows how loud her screams are either. She can be shown that she’s not behaving like other children , which she probably wants to be more like.

[@charlottemurray6279]

Paula keeps unloading on her son and it's totally confusing him. She needs to set appropriate boundaries.

[@taniaodesho4601]

I so agree. Kids are not therapists

[@annabarham155]

I have a congenital defect which means I’m visually impaired and on the Autism spectrum, and my parents tried to give me all they could to give me the best life (still do). The difference is they didn’t give into every single whim and demand when I was Elizabeth’s age, they raised me like any other child, but just with a bit more support. Like other children, this included teaching me respect, manners, and what’s right from wrong.

[@HopeHouseHealing]

Well done to the mommas and daddys for praising and thanking your kids for all the little things they do right

[@yordapeeweeladygaga]

Tracy is a complete disgrace, people like her shouldn’t be allowed children. That kind of verbal abuse can scar you for life. Horrible, loveless mother.

[@myrealtorjanie]

It is heartbreaking to hear how the parents talk to their children. The children learn from example

[@tinatina1104]

Tracy don't use foul language to your children. Talk to them with respect and they may learn to treat you the same

[@lucaleutar2762]

He laughed. Hahaha. He probably thought to himself: "wtf, she said thank you haha"

[@dominewimbury2039]

Exactly

[@VimeleosZen]

When I was young we weren’t that rich and there were five us siblings. When my sister and I wanted toys my mom would tell us that the money for milk would be used to buy the toys and that we wouldn’t get milk for a week. We valued milk more coz it helped us go to sleep so we backed down from asking for toys. My parents would buy us toys like on holidays and it made us giving up those toys on those days worth it. Because of that we became money conscious and learned to spend wisely. We didn’t become spoiled but rather developed smart decision making. My parents also said that all five of us didn’t throw tantrums and were well-behaved kids but I think it was because we were afraid of making mom mad.

[@CynthiasTikka]

And you knew that mom meant it when she said no and was probably consistent. You knew the rules and what was expected of you. She sounds like a really good mom. 😃

[@robinholbrook6576]

If I’d had a tantrum I’d been sent to my room without dinner and gotten the belt when Daddy came home. I had no tantrums! Period.

[@fidgetssailing4725]

Tracy has already decided she hates that child - and he knows it and has no idea why.

[@robinholbrook6576]

Why isn’t Elizabeth in a deaf school? It would make a world of difference! The deaf children who go to SUNSHINE COTTAGE here in San Antonio are delightful!

[@joannewall5499]

Angus must feel so bad about himself and that’s why he acts up, he’s being shamed all the time

[@calexprenas]

she’s at 100 all the time whether he’s at 10 or 99

[@ayagirlbjd9620]

The way some of these parent talk to their kids made me almost cry, heartbreaking. I have kids and yes, they are not perfect, and I am not perfect. But wow this is so sad : (

[@sandcastles73]

What is apparent watching this now, as apposed to when it was on TV, is that these kids are mostly suffering from anxiety. Their parent's raised voices, lack of understanding and knowledge around this is fueling the behavior. I am no expert, I don't even pretend to be, but I live with a child who is highly anxious and these behaviours here are all part and parcel of the uncontrollable and unregulated anxiety they are feeling. Putting adult feelings on children "you are pushing me" is wrong. A child does not do this for fun and kicks. Yelling, screaming and smacking them is showing them you are out of control, and when a child perceives their safe person to be out of control, they panic. Angus has far too much put on him for a 4yr old. The bribery isn't working because the child is highly anxious and the 'gifts" are a momentary bandaid which does little to cover the feelings of anxiety. Parent says "I can't take this" = I'm losing control. I'm am not safe. Therefore, you are not safe = child goes into fight or flight. The amygdala kicks in and causes chaos. Sometimes they don't know any better. It's what their parents did, after all. You can see Tracey is out of her depth with the praising because she herself probably didn't get any positive praise as a child/grown up. Her husband is constantly shouting at her too, so that won't help her own self esteem. He seems to get it, with the praising but isn't helping her understand.

[@kaitlynkubacki6525]

Thisss💙👏👏👏👏well said and I agree!!!

[@N.Sardone]

The part about parents saying I can't take this- I never thought of it that way. But it makes sense. Definitely will make me think about the words coming from my mouth!

[@lrose463]

Tracy is an absolute disgrace. Makes me feel sick seeing her talk to her children like that!

[@FlutePlayer777]

Discipline is one thing but the parents are part of the problem.

[@lynnelusch9508]

Part!

[@displayname5100]

In certain situations parents are 98% of the problem but in most situations parents are 100% of the problem!!

[@dominewimbury2039]

Paula needs to STOP unloading on that poor little boy. He don't know how to help you luv, he's four and shouldn't know adult issues

[@conniedykes7225]

It’s the parents doing!!! Never seen anything like this in my life....

[@angesolo9978]

Sleep deprivation makes you forget that all kids want is your love.

[@jojoscogsable]

I would runaway, I really would.... God help them parents.

[@kazzahotpink]

Reading to your child at bedtime should be routine, if not every night at least twice a week. No way would you have the tv on

[@cupcakesthompson6118]

Agreed plus the t.v. can be a stimulant therefore keeping the child awake, though as adults some people can only sleep with the tv on. But a child's mind is underdeveloped to say enough sleep time now. Hope the parents have progressed now though.

[@22Purplemist]

I read to mine every night. It's an excellent bonding time. TVs are too overstimulating and shouldn't be used. I had a child that needed little sleep so I used audiobooks which worked a treat. Also VERY low lighting. The lamp in Angus's room is far too bright imho

[@Goldensouloutlaw]

Me and my partner read to our son every night, we have since he was 2 months old. We take turns. I miss it when it isn't my go, especially if I have had work that day. My family think that's partly while his language skills and vocabulary are so advanced. There are so many benefits to reading to your child. He loves cuddling up with a book, and would happily read 10 or more a day.

[@ToeKnife166]

Or white noise machines work too

[@robinholbrook6576]

EVERY NIGHT! My kids and my granddaughter ! Sweetest way to settle down for sleep! 😴

[@evelynreid2880]

Yeah becuASe swearing and trying to kick your child is going to get them to behave!!! Sure my parents lost the rag at me and shouted at me....but they wouldnt swear at me as they didnt want me doing that to them. Treat your kid how you want them to treat you.

[@DaddysFavourite-ju8gi]

Is it any wonder these kids are do badly behaved. All Angus mum does it whinge and whine, she makes my nerves ax just watching this. And Tracy WOW why are people like that allowed to have children, she and her husband have absolutely no, NO! skills at all. They way they speak to their children is horrific!!!!

[@dominewimbury2039]

Excuse me Paula! Your son is certainly not a weirdo FFS

[@traceyparish7403]

Yes Paula is very negative towards her son so her son acts negatively back.

[@calexprenas]

that’s straight up verbal abuse, i felt so bad for him

[@spacewombat6174]

Tracey, I think four kids is enough for you. Perhaps you should consider contraception now

[@shannonm.4087]

I feel sorry for Angus and Paula. Keep in mind, this woman is sleep deprived and this is her 24/7 life. I would be completely insane.

Jesus I've had 5 children and none of them have behaved like this. Some of these parents are abusive!

[@cupcakesthompson6118]

I'm not judging, parents are sometimes better discussing the child when not present, because if the child is attention seeking hearing, this is a platform for knowing what upsets the parent.

[@pommiebears]

cupcakes Thompson most people know that swearing at your children is extremely wrong. It shouldn’t take a tv show to tell any parent that, it’s common sense. It’s verbal abuse.

[@kimtastick9010]

[@annmodroborowski5092]

Calling your kid a weirdo when he is naughty is not the end of the world. Aaron's parents are frightening.

[@Ebby-lu3cy]

She’s not terrible, she’s exhausted. And she’s a great example of why the family unit is so important. Fathers matter in the home....well, good fathers matter in the home.

[@22Purplemist]

@@Ebby-lu3cy - I have a friend with six children who left an abusive partner and she has managed to raise them alone. None of her children are like this so no a father isn't necessary. A single parent can raise well rounded children as long as they set boundaries from day one

[@jaydencolour1072]

She is such a bad mom selfish mom.

[@GHTTLKKLL]

I agree but also disagree, being called a weirdo is not the end of the world. I have been called a weirdo quite a lot of times, and it’s not a big deal.

[@BugsandBees]

I think if Paula took all of her anxious and worked up energy and turned it into calmness it would go a long way with Angus. I'm sure he feels and plays off the vibes she gives out. She's very high strung.

[@ValmaPCronau66]

The way these parents talk to and treat their children is heartbreaking. That is abuse and explains a lot about the children's behaviour.

[@marie-andreec5164]

I was born very premature and if it wasn't for my parents' stories, I would have no idea how difficult my first few months were so there's no need to give Elizabeth everything because of the "ordeal" she went through. It's not like she has any memory of it. As far as being hearing impaired, she's always been that way so she probably doesn't feel great loss over it. It's just who she is.

[@HopeGardner3amed]

1.Who doesn't realize that they don't praise their child? Children are people and need encouragement too. 2. I agree with people saying that miracle children shouldn't be spoiled. But please accommodate everyone as needed (help kids to teach them how to do things.). 3. I had a TV in my room. I don't recall watching it before bed until I got older. It was more a "the older children have it, so the younger ones should too". When I got older tvs helped distract me from nightly anxieties and invasive thoughts.

[@annmodroborowski5092]

She's extremely tired. They are going to be ok once he's a little older. I don't think she's a bad mom, just doesn't understand him right now and tries to reason with him too much.

[@_Lindsey_Beth_]

I think Paula is a horrible parent. She is constantly yelling at Angus for normal child behaviors like being investigative and inquisitive. She yells and yells telling him he is horrible but she doesn't explain to him what he is doing wrong. How is he supposed to know what he is doing wrong if she doesn't tell him??

[@spacewombat6174]

I know. What a novel idea! Spending time with your child and reading them books at bed time.

[@rebeccashields9626]

Yeah she’s so micro managing. She complains at the park that he’s playing wrong. If she would just be nice to him and play with him he would behave better.

[@joycetaylor8057]

If I were Trace's kid I would misbehave too. Just because you can have children doesn't mean you should. Poor little things.

[@tammyramey]

My daughter was also extremely premature. She weighed a pound and 4 oz. at birth. She was given a 5% chance to survive. She is blind in one eye and has partial sight in her other eye. She also has cognitive delays and had autistic traits growing up. Her twin sister died right after birth, It wasn't easy raising her from infancy. She had many surgeries, was on a heart monitor and oxygen for the first year of her life, and her school years were spent in special education classes. These parents have a long struggle on their hands. I do know there is light at the end of the rainbow for them and their daughter . :)

[@sonogabri1]

Her husband is the dam problem ,he has no backbone ,and is playing the nice parent ,it's crazy they are not working together ,he is literally passing the buck when it comes to discipline ,is why she is losing it and boiling over ,she is totally out of order ,but he should take a huge chunk of the blame ,as he is sitting back and doing nothing about his behaviour !!

[@nonjudgmentalteenmom159]

.. children learn by example, I’m not a perfect mom and never will be, but if that’s one thing I learned, kids copy by example. Remain calm, discipline when necessary and talk to them. You have to teach them to act rationally, remember that their brains are still learning to regulate emotion but still have the same strong emotions adults feel.

[@justsandra71]

I agree. I talked and explained things to my kids. They didn't rebel and were easy to raise.

[@baizeenamz]

" he didnt get it from us, he got it from.his brother" Uses expletives every other word while talking to her kids

[@crissln8654]

it's common sense kids responded well if you talk to them with love. lots of kisses and lots of praises

[@22Purplemist]

It really is common sense. I know from my own experience if I was shouted at I would dig my heels in. As a parent myself I tried my best to be calm. I wasn't perfect all the time and if I was in the wrong I would apologise. My children describe me as firm but fair 😉

[@nightstar3171]

I was also born premature at 26 weeks, spent the first 3 months in the hospital and my parents were very careful with me until I was about 3, then I catch up with the other kids my age.

And I completely understand that my child was a miracle child and needs to be spoiled and given what they want because the parents carry this guilt and I get it I do . But my son is here and a wonderful miracle but he also is a child in this world that needs to know parent from friend . And I’ll be gentle with my child and my deep love will never change maybe the guilt will never go away but he’s here now and doing amazing so you gotta somehow let some of thag guilt go because it’s not way it’s your fault your child was born early

Lip reading isn’t a quick fix. Maybe if they lip read to her less and signed to Elizabeth more, she’d communicate her wants and needs better.

[@cazw179]

I thought that. Poor Elizabeth must be so frustrated not being able to hear. I would learn Makaton to make communication easier.

[@WeatherInOrlando]

I thought this too. It looks like she's getting very little communication from her mum and dad. A lot of the time they're talking to her when they're not face to face, so Elizabeth can't understand! I bet more education on how deaf people experience the world would have helped them immensely.

I see Children controlling parents, and hurting them and they do nothing. The kids then hurt the other kids . How on earth did this get like this. They will abuse other people im sure. Like their wife , or husband, teachers and others when they grow up.The younger one's in the home will abuse also. This is terrifying . What will they do to mom when they are 15 years old and up?

[@pommiebears]

Why take your child to a restaurant and upset everyone else’s dinner? How selfish is that? Keep your unruly children to yourself. I had a premature baby too, born at 29 weeks....I didn’t allow him to become a little monster. He’s 25 yrs old now.

My mom told me that I'd thrown myself in the floor and had a tantrum like the 3yo. She took a glass of water and poured it over my head. I was sputtering but the next time I threw, rather tried to throw a tantrum, she'd get a glass of water, hold it over my head asking if I wanted it. Nope!

[@susihuber2388]

Quirky Quipster seriously I believe it „worked“, but Thisbe how you teach a dog, not how you treat your child! There are a lot respectful ways to communicate, thank God!

[@amandamason342]

What a concept..talk to your children like human beings🙄 these parents are thick

[@claireosborne692]

Amanda Mason that’s not kind!! They are the product of how they were parented and there conditioning that doesn’t make them thick.. it’s all they no!! They are trying to relearn to better there parenting for themselves and there children x

[@JesseSShaw]

When I grew up, I was told "I brought you into this world, I can take you out".... it worked.... don't baby the kids!

*I wish parent’s would consider what they’re doing to their kids when they don’t discipline their children. This bad behavior will only cost them dearly as adults.* 🤷🏻‍♀️

In the previous episode Cameron Dad said when he was at the bank “a member of the public” said “I wonder where he gets that.” upon hearing the younger brother cursing. Offended, his dad responded that he got it from his 5 year old elder brother. Yet we hear their mother yelling and using the f-bomb in nearly every scene with the kids! 🤔🤨🙄

[@Ava_Orchid]

How good is her sign language though? And can she even be evaluated fully for the potential brain impairment? Because a child who can not communicate effectively can also act out. I am not at all saying that is it lol Obviously they say they spoil her and so they do but perhaps in time other factors will also come out

[@agnieszkakozlowska6577]

Im fourteen and my mum has only ever sworn at me once..watching these parents is awful

[@DaddysFavourite-ju8gi]

Is it any wonder these kids are do badly behaved. All Angus mum does it whinge and whine, she makes my nerves bad just watching this. And Tracy WOW why are people like that allowed to have children, she and her husband have absolutely no, NO! Life or parenting skills at all. They way they speak to their children is horrific!!!!

[@Kaybug150]

I was born three months early, myself. I have cerebral palsy. I do understand how her parents have to feel.

[@lilblacklamb222]

The little girl tgats deaf is probably also pretty frustrated with not being able to communicate fully. Lip reading is alot of guessing and its no good if the person isnt facing you. I hope she learns more signing its such a beautful and expressive language.

[@natashamueller927]

I do not like Paula. Shes clearly overwhelmed, but she is very hurtful. Shes not cursing at him but shes still calling him names.and going on and on and on about how he makes her feel awful after hes stopped. Its about her. Not him at all. I dont understand why people think just because your not yelling suddenly your not cruel or causing more problems.

[@shindanaedwards974]

These kids want to be living in the Caribbean

[@cupcakesthompson6118]

Cultural differences, how you speak to a child and link tone of voice is very important. Can't swear at a child not expecting one day they won't repeat. Behaviour didn't come in 1 day. So its gonna take time.

[@erikalouwrens3992]

LMAO! I have to say I think you have a point!

[@MsPiinkFllamingo]

They played Massive Attack!! ❤️

[@kiragill6720]

I think most of these kids, except angus behaviors are just from spoiling them to much like Elizabeth’s mother said they spoiled and gave her everything because they felt guilty of what. They went through and the other 3 year old still has a pacifier that should have been out the way .

[@22Purplemist]

My friend's 7 and nine year olds still have a bottle 🙄 I have spoken to her and she says they like it. I said my son loved his milk at night but he had an Anyway up cup from a very early age. These are both old enough to drink from a cup which they do any other time of day
