I just wanted to chime in and say - don’t give up on picture books, everyone! For sure, there is some trash, but there are also so, SO many great children’s picture books. You just have to sift them through. My eldest is 6 (2 more) and they’ve each been read to since birth for every nap and sleep; we go to the library every couple of months and borrow 40 books at a time. You have to pick them out yourself and find the good ones. As well as there being many, many, great lessons and concepts to be learned, picture books help kids learn to read through illustration, repetition and rhyme. All I’m saying is, don’t give up on the picture books guys - they do have a purpose and there are so many wonderful books that we love to read with our kids.

I agree! When you know what to look for there are sooooo many wonderful picture books.

Can I JUST!! You guys are younger and years behind my husband and I in parenting and our walk with the Lord, and you are just such a huge blessing to us. It’s so encouraging to see the immense growth in your marriage and family life. I’m a long time follower and so thankful for your example. This content is very helpful. I have five kids and I still need reminders to include my kids in my duties. I am 36 and my parents were believers, did a great job training us, and I can attest that it’s a great blessing to my life as an adult. I find things being easier for myself than my other adult friends, just because I am more responsible for my own messes or routines. Interesting stuff.☺️

I love how your channel has evolved!

[@deborahcamillemcghee]

Yes girl I’ve been waiting for you to come back I’m taking notes

[@americandreamrevival]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@stephanieodom8813]

Also, totally agree with teaching your kids how to act, and interact, with company or just in general. Kids today have zero respect for elders or any one for that matter.

[@emmadocious]

I aspire to have a screen free home, so thank you for these tips!!

[@randisanders]

I loved the idea of intentionally working with them on the conversations with visitors. My son has no problem talking to people 😅 however I may use this to help work with how to properly deal with our friends!

[@stephanieodom8813]

I’m usually a silent viewer, but I wanted to comment today and say that I’m so happy how you guys are doing things. I used to watch and think how do they survive?? lol everything was always chaos. So happy you guys have joined the simple life crew!!!

[@MamaJeanMontessoriMusic]

Thanks for sharing all this! I loved the teaching them a skill they are interested in and read aloud… I had heard about that but you explained it so well and inspired me to start that with my little ones at night instead of random books they are choosing from the library!

[@msmusliimah]

We need a list of books that you guys recommend to read for kids. Also, a list of books for parents to read for parenting and raising kids . Recommendations of books about certain skills to teach kids .

[@beckyparker2863]

I would love to hear how you do this with your three year old (if it’s possible) my daughter is 3 and son is about to be 1, so what activities would you suggest for the toddler age kids?

[@BaudelaireOrphan1]

So good thank you so much! We always turn on the tv at the end of the day to relax and cuddle and so I can finally slow down. But I always feel guilty. Thank you for the ideas

[@walkinfaithnotbysight]

I love that you mentioned the book of virtues. I just ordered it a couple days ago!!

[@americandreamrevival]

It’s so amazing! I have my dad’s book and we have another a friend got for the girls!

[@AlliyScott]

Our toddlers' nap times seamlessly turned into quiet time in their rooms when they stopped sleeping.. it is such an important time for the whole house! I have been loving reading them chapter books too, I will look for your suggestions at the library. Do you have a list anywhere of your recs?

[@jojobaja]

Love your family way of life!

[@godsgirl7201]

I’m convinced y’all have psychology degree y’all are good at analyzing!

[@whitedoveoutpouring]

God bless you both!

[@americandreamrevival]

Thank you!!! Hope it helped

[@hhholmes714]

LOVED y'all's picky eater video❤️Only critique is to maybe not assume people don't want to do these things but are learning/relearning bc they were never taught/traumatized/never considered, ect

[@lindsaystrawsburg8689]

please help me train my kids!!!!! id love all the recs❤

[@godsgirl7201]

I never thought of that 😅😅😅

[@emmakate6518]

Where did you guys learn of these ideas for child training? I need more ideas/resources cause as a kid i was never trained in any way really so i have nothing to pull from.. Hope yall answer this. Thanks!

[@julialee143]

I know they’ve mentioned they watch “now that we’re a family” KZbin they have some videos on that topic

[@Pocketlint143]

Love this! ❤

[@blippo]

Hi! We sent you an email a few weeks ago! Have you seen it? Looking forward to hearing from you! 💜🥰

[@seasonalliving2881]

Can you provide your guidelines for screen...it sounds like you still incorporate them but within reason...working online, asking google definitions, KZbin for tutorials, music playlists, etc.

[@AMuslimMiss]

By the way, you touched on the topic of giving your kids something that they like to do to get them to sit down and listen when you're reading. So does your "training" involve giving rewards and providing consequences? Just curious how you get kids to do things that are not "fun" or they are not interested in doing.

[@karricovelle6946]

What classic books should i read to my four year old son ?

[@AMuslimMiss]

Very interesting video! So until what age would you recommend no screen time? Because eventually won't kids need to have their own cell phones, tablets, or laptops for school etc.

[@julialee143]

I highly doubt they will be giving their kids their own personal electronics for school….they don’t necessarily need that, especially since they are homeschooled. I personally got a flip phone in junior high so I could call my parents. I plan to do the same for my kids. I also just used a home desktop computer that everyone had access to to do my school work/print stuff out.

[@godsgirl7201]

Do y’all have any tips for autistic kids?

[@godsgirl7201]

I don’t understand why you don’t have a million subscribers

[@glorias.2930]

They are amazing but they are NOT consisent. They are very random with their uploads and the KZbin algorithm does not like that. I wish they would just vlog on a regular basis like other channels.

[@helgadomguez7163]

Why the new name?

[@emmagillette6249]

You guys lost me when you said that you don't read picture books to your kids 🤯

[@paulinag3545]

I miss the old them so much, when Annabelle was first born and they had their little condo, now all they do is preach. I just want normal everyday family life stuff not just sit there and talk. They are trying to figure this YT stuff out but honestly it’s not working

[@godsgirl7201]

I’m convinced y’all have psychology degree y’all are good at analyzing!
