My daughter just turned six, and in the past month white children at her school have engaged in racist bullying towards her twice. All research shows that most children of color first experience racism at this age. My daughter's Dad and I have had to force her school to reckon with the abuse that she's experienced as there should absolutely be a plan in place to address it, and to create a parent/teacher group to address diversity and inclusion at the school. As a black American in the UK, I have no problem making them uncomfortable until there are concrete changes in place. I'm having none of this and we should all feel that way.

[@dojnbeck8609]

Way to go Becca. This will diminish a child self confidence. Good that you've taken control of the situation👍

[@judithcampbell216]

Good bless your family. I have followed you guys for sometime and commend you for the way you are raising your kids. Looking forward with anticipation to the little girl. Peace and love

[@TayMeify]

My nephew first experienced racism at this age, I flew from London to Dubai to sort that ish out.

[@dahtchima8798]

Good that you took it to the school. Such behavior should not be swept under the carpet. Sadly, things like this happen as a reflection of what goes on in society. Again kids are kids and if at an early age, they can be taught that not everyone looks like them and it’s okay, incidences like this will not happen

[@guguncube2308]

Would this not happen in the USA also and would you not have dealt with it the same way? I know plenty of parents in the uk who have had to deal with the school on such matters especially predominantly ehite school. I was very fortunate i was the only black child in primary school and i went to 3! Some places lke Newcastle under lyme didnt have any black people at all i was a novelty most of the time in those days durng high school i was one of 9 in a school of 400 i had a few instances but my parents had instilled something in me and i was quick with words and was able to deal accordingly!! And i grew up in a little village in a town where they held national front marches every saturday !

[@pearlinecrews6826]

It makes sense from the kids point of view. His friend probably can't wear his hair like that and may have cause some jealously. Since he has curly hair you may want to help him not conform for other people. Accepting and knowing how to handle opposition about his hair at an early age helps with his self esteem while growing up.

[@jofreeman3611]

I'm trying to tell you. That's exactly what I was trying to say. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@avalangrin4904]

I have been a subscriber to Adanna and David’s channel for at least four years maybe more. Their videos always are interesting and heart-warming whether they are doing mundane things like fixing a meal for their boys or having a discussion about relationships or political issues. It is nice to see them RAISING their boys in a thoughtful, compassionate, and love filled manner. The boys are not being raised by technology spending hours in front of the television or an iPad. That behavior chart is brilliant. I am a retired teacher, and I often used a chart like that in my classroom. I loved that parents are using tools like that to discipline and provide accountability with regard to their children’s behavior. It also gets children to be communicative and thoughtful. I tell you I always have a smile on my face at the end of an Adanna and David family video and this one is no different. Thank you Adanna and David for sharing your family and your life with us. I have been blessed by your efforts. 😌😌😌

[@TRUTHFUL2000]

Poor Kian. But i think removing the Braids didn't solved the issue coz he loved them, that's all that matter. Kids can be mean.

[@Cj-en4fj]

Facts. Perhaps just a cultural difference though. I don't know a single African American mother in the US who would've taken those braids out. In fact, they would've rocked some form of braid indefinitely, JUST because of the incident, lol! This is the age where our babies start to experience racism for the first time that will carry through their lifetime. So we use every moment to teach our kids when they're young how perfect and dynamic they are JUST the way they are.

[@mtebraak1]

Its because its not commen for others children to have that kind of hairstyle. Something they don't know. And that why they say its not nice 😀. But kian let me tel u....it is very beautifull on u. ♥️😍

[@lv6852]

should teach him to say to his “friends”: i am not here for you and you don’t define me! then find some real friends

[@LetaLuvaLuva]

Glad Kiki is okay. Don’t know if they allow this at his school but maybe the children would benefit from learning books on different kinds of hair and people. It’s somethings easy to be unkind when you don’t understand a difference. Noah is hilarious 😂 Such a clever boy. Coco is a lovely dog.

[@GrowWhereYouArePlanted]

It was comical watching David's rant about great danes. David's enthusiasm was similar to Noah's excitement upon receiving a smiley face.

[@lindajeanetteusikpo7710]

So true

[@oliviachivhanganye5721]

There is that look on Kian that is just like David. Adanna you are glowing and so relaxed. My favourite family. Blessings always.

[@TRUTHFUL2000]

So Noah bites and he knows he shouldn't😅😅😅😅, he's so cute

[@carolynricks3123]

David attracts the love of everyone and everything he meets. ❤️ Coco has to be put to bed like the boys. My heart melts whenever I see him interacting with your sons. Noah seems to whine a little more than usual, I hope it doesn’t get to difficult when the baby is born because there will a lot of tears. I appreciate the language you shared with Kian to address the rude little child’s comments about his hair. It appears that some homes don’t teach acceptance of diversity.

[@ednanelson1897]

Noah: I want to go to Africa. Adanna: What country? Noah: Ireland 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Flourish_today]

😂😂😂 the most innocent answer. I think the family should buy a map of Africa and teach them how to pronounce each country and its capital. My parents did that when I was growing up. I know almost if not all capital cities of each African country.

[@bernettamorton3626]

I love the way you style the boys' hair. Their hair is very neat and stylish. I hope they will embrace and love the textures of their hair because they will be able to wear it many ways. Society just has to catch up. Children can be very cruel and should be taught to love and appreciate their friends for who they are like you are teaching your boys. Very excited about the new baby! ✨♥️🍼🚼🍼♥️✨

OMG...I haven't watched this channel in a while and I can't believe how big the boys are! They're adorable and so smart. David and Adanna are still wonderful. Your spirits are so beautiful. The baby saying that he wants to go to Africa is the greatest! What a beautiful family. Is it true that twins are on the horizon? That would be awesome! Blessings!

[@riannekeb.5842]

I always love watching your videos and I love the idea of a behavior chart. These it can be very helpful. I would make a few suggestions from my work as a behavior therapist. I would recommend to make the behavior a little bit more specific. For example, behaving well in school is more an interpretation of behavior then observable behavior. For now focus on one behavior, for example following up the teachers instructions without complaining or any other behavior that bothers him the most. When he shows no problem anymore with that behavior you can move to the second most bothering behavior. But it is easier to explain to a child what you expect from him specifically rather than behaving well (that has so much components to it). Then the other thing is want to remark collecting smilies for a whole week before getting a reward is a very long time to wait for young children to get their reward. That requires certain cognitive skills that a Noah doesnt have right now. Even waiting until the end of the day might be very long (but you would have to monitor that) But I would suggest a small reward at the end of every day if they have a smiley face. And then keep the movie night for X amount of smilies as the big reward.

[@christinaduplessis4332]

Very interesting…. found a new technique and very practical

[@j.n.8153]

A reward every day is a lot. Sometimes acknowledging a specific behaviour with cheers, hugs, and claps are good enough. It's also healthy to not always give tangible rewards. I'm not trying to take away from what you said but balance is good.

[@riannekeb.5842]

@@j.n.8153 hugs and high fives are considerred rewards. You call them social rewards. And I agree that social rewards are more natural than tangible rewards and many times more preferable. However, you always want to make sure it serves as a reward for a child (is it strong enough to encourage the behavior you want to see in a child). I was just trying to make the point that it is very difficult for a 3 year old to remember: I need to listen to the teacher today, otherwise I wont have a smiley today and I need X amount of smileys so I I can have movie night at the end of the week. So my suggestion was to make the duration between showing desireable behavior and the reward much shorter (regardless of the type of reward: tangible or social).

[@jofreeman3611]

The Mr. and Mrs. knows better than anyone when it comes to disciplining their children. Remember? Noah is their 2nd child. You raise your children the way you see fit. Ok?

[@Irene-gk8oq]

Noah is such an amazing blessing, I just love his wits of course he took after his big brother. May God Almighty continue to bless you guys and bestow upon you all the desires of your hearts.🙏🏽❤️🌹😍🙋🏽‍♀️

[@APLACE4JOY]

I have loved watching and am always inspired by your positive purposeful parenting. The days are LONG, but this season is so short. It is wisdom and a blessing to purpose to enjoy your children. Well done 👍🏾 from a Baby boomer.

[@alesiaja1647]

This video had me cracking up, Noah is a little comedian. I loved the braids, the first few times I put braids in my sons hair it didn’t go so good. I told my sons they just wish they could get their hair braided; then they told their classmates. No problems afterwards.

[@jofreeman3611]

Thank you! But this little boy was affected. The old him he couldn't be apart of whatever he wanted to be apart of. If we're ever going to put a stop to sestimic racism, we need to step up as parents and call a meeting beginning with the head administrator, principal, other childs parents, and include him, teacher all in a school conference meeting meeting, and talk openly about how did that make Keean feel when that little boy told him that. Then ask that little boy why did he say that to Keean.

[@yaahemaasandra3929]

Noah grew overnight Boy is ready to be a big brother,so mature 😊

[@adelaosterloh68]

Kian is Papa and Noah looks like his mom it is amazing to watch these changes take place.

[@stephwa1296]

Reading a book together is so much more special than movie night alone, actually😍

[@sweetspice9120]

It is jealousy. I have a story about this with my whyte realtor daughter who came home asking for braids like the blk girls in school. My realtor said some very negative words about the braids. This is how the racial behavior is nurtured at home. Of course I changed my realtor after that.

[@joannbrown3607]

Tell Kian that he is so handsome with his braids. Noah and Kian are so smart. Coco is definitely a part of the family 🐕. David & Adana you are great parents 👏🏽 💕.

[@jofreeman3611]

That other little boy needs to apologize to Keean and shown the error of his ways so that he doesn't transfer this bulling to middle school and high school, because it just may save him from getting socked in the face by a much older student.
