Tips For Parents Raising Boys

[@021mr5]

I have a single mother neighbor with a young boy. The boy often comes over to talk, maybe he has nothing to do. So I teach him to learn some skills, household repairs, change tires, fix stuff, simple repairs, you know the things we do with our dads. He seems interested in it. But I speak straight to him, tell him how it is. I'm single and don't really plan on getting married yet, but I do enjoy being a role model. I learned some things too.

[@mariahwhitneycelinejanetmadona]

What Have you learned?

[@melmel9677]

Much needed advice. I had my son when I was young (no excuse) but I got so caught up in trying to provide that I wasn’t implementing discipline like I should have been but I’m now correcting it. It’s a bit of a challenge but I’m not giving up! Thanks Rick

[@shavondatucker7125]

I'm 👂 I have a 7 and 9year old. Discipline & Structure will have them thinking twice about decisions.

[@godpropertybarry335]

Amen

[@vanessabriggsdrake2023]

I love the tips Rickey. My mom & dad raised me the disciplined way, & I raised my kids the same. I was a single parent because their father wanted to cheat. No time for that, so with Gods Grace & Mercy, I made sure they were raised right & graduated. Whatever I cooked we ate based on foods they liked, I cooked. One evening my kids wanted biscuits, eggs & bacon. Then the next day they wanted pancakes with Eckrich sausage. I cooked from scratch for them because that's how I was taught. My kids never threw tantrums, oh No. My kids are well mannered & respectful even though their older now, because that's the legacy my parents & grandparents taught me. My daughter & 2 boy's were taught the same. I could take them over anybody's house, & I was always complemented on how well behaved the were. To this day, they still are & my twin grandsons who graduate this year have been taught the same👍

[@deborahblackshear3325]

You are telling the truth. What I cooked is what you eat. The structure is real in raising children.

[@angeliaisroyalty9881]

I don't mine a man stepping in to help out wit my son's only if he's "Leading By Example".....

[@melmel9677]

Angelia Is Royalty great point. leading by example! So many want to be dictators

[@jasminedelee2286]

I agree, the man have to lead by example....

[@beckycrump8831]

An example can be a good example or a bad example. It both helps.

[@jarrodsmith6203]

I understand everything you said. This is what I’m trying to explain to my wife, entitled children can ruin a home. Also, when you say you become a waiter that hit close to home

[@thinkfeelmove]

🥰Facts...my twin boys will be turning 16 in July. I am so grateful my dad raised me with this wonderful way of living

[@nancyshelton8305]

Rickey, I totally agree with everything you are saying. I was a single mom raising my son and daughter and agree with everything you are saying. God bless you

[@nitaaych1213]

Thank you Rickey! We lost my son's dad 😢 Sept 27 2018. I don't have a man/husband in place yet and his uncles are in another state. I appreciate this video because he want everything now he's 3. Thank you so much!

[@crystalwilson9477]

Borrow my car and expect me to pay for the date? Who are the women going for these men? I would rather stay single.

[@michellesimonton2764]

This is the teaching I grew up on, and it's the same teaching that I taught my children, and now I am passing it down to my grandchildren. This is truth!

[@vczaban7876]

These woman have too much emotion and guilt at times it can get hard! You are absolutely correct!! Talk about it Rickey!!

[@canreed3449]

I just love Rickey Smiley personality he has a lot of wisdom...

[@FromtheeyesofShaun]

Thanks mr.smiley I recently got into it with a family member over this who's kid is now acting exactly how you described... Boy caught an whole attitude w/ his coach and was so mad he did bad the rest of the swim meet. Told his mom you can't be mad when Everytime someone tries to discipline him, you defend him.... Alot of new age parents are convinced CHECKIN your child is ABUSE..

[@SEA-dx1sv]

If the father has a positive impact, yes.

[@trotr]

I have a six yr old same situation. He's beginning to get mouthy I check it, have to check family...when you have a child I feel like family have to get to know you all over again. I'm considering hiring male nannies asap!!! College students or older male role model I need like seven of them

[@cynthiamckinney4276]

I agree Rickey I agree 👍👍👍

[@blessed50]

[@aprilgrnt87]

I appreciate you and thank you for this message.

[@beaubloomer4426]

Thanks for your video bro. I just became a father and I’m so excited about it but want to make sure to raise him right to be successful in life.

[@dd0107]

Ricky you said a mouth full you are 💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@zak27986]

Whether you agree or disagree with me as long as you are tolerant. I believe we as a society especially us men, should teach boys of the next generation to behave like gentlemen. I honestly believe that gentlemen are the best men in the world because they do not behave like bullies and they also do not behave like whiners. Gentlemen are balanced men plus they are compassionate, discipline, and responsible. They are well-mannered and they show empathy for boys, girls, men, & women. They are like father figures plus they protect children both boys & girls from indoctrination, they respect disabled people, they aid elderly people, they listen to men with their emotional pain, and they are polite towards women by respecting their privacy.

[@nikkibonaparte8288]

Thank you for this. This is how I raise my sons and this is why they are not out there on some crazy stuff.

[@titilayoosaya8385]

Yes, very thankful for all of the facts talked about on the show with raising a boy and allowing positive influences of an alpha Male 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@Pebbs12]

I wish I knew all this when I birth boys as a mother to me a child is a child but now they older I see the difference i see how I went wrong now I see y they think they so entitled now these men have to step up u cant make them father they own child u shouldn't have too but some kids if they father is a drunk r into a lot of women r even on drugs r commit crimes u don't want your sons around that but I get what Rickey is saying needed this advice awhile ago

[@petelipson3769]

You sound like an awesome dad,i have a 10 y.o. i am raising, really appreciate your comments!

[@l.i.l.i.r.e.a.d.s.1231]

Never heard of the psychology behind the “want “ I will work on that with my kids they’re still little 3 and 5 .

[@samanthamaxineau7348]

[@queenlibra3601]

Thank u Rickey smiley & appreciate it & I'm single mom of two 7yrs old girl & my lil boy is 7months old & the father isn't in his life because of his girlfriend....

[@marlenazj]

I agree, these boys need a strong male figure. I wouldn’t suggest showcasing discipline these fans can be crazy and will have CPS at your door.

[@blessed50]

Love how you doing your kids and grand son you are doing right these mothers today dont know how to do it we ate what mama cook SAY THAT

[@crystalwilson9477]

If I didnt want what Mama cooked, I didn't eat.

[@jesseiniguez393]

It's hard to raise a kid when you constantly on deployment/rotation and always in the field. So my son sees the mom all day everyday how do I fix that?

[@marycorbin647]

Hi you are 100% right Thank you for speaking this truth ❤

[@jacqueenarichardson7011]

I agree 💯 Rickey

[@spokenword4583]

Thank you. I am asking God to help me. My son is 4 and his dad isn't consistent. I feel like I'm drowning at times.

[@katrinadowns16]

Pray, Yahweh through His Son Yahshua will help you. Repent, believe and cry out He will answer your prayers..

[@Krysthalenz]

As a mother of two boys i believe that a boy need a strong male God fearing role model around or a positive male role model..

[@amiajohnson2428]

Yup my son dad he don’t take him serious at all I’m tired of being dad and mom

[@olgabushak2942]

So if a kid interrupts or yells when you are on the phone every time what do you give for consequences? 3yo and 8yo

[@voncilehughes1545]

No you eat what I'm going to cook

[@queendivaification]

I agree with everything you said, but I have seen and let's remind people, that THE WRONG KIND of man, even one's biological father, can do more harm being in the young man's life. Alot of these "men" out here were raised by their fathers. Let's have some faith in our mothers out here....

[@renettagriffin8240]

I need help my son is so rebellious and he is 17 and he want to talk back and do what he want to do I'm tired ,I wish I had someone to sent him to ..I'm tired

[@Ps-do2si]

What does he do besides talking back?

[@sonjabridgeman6454]

That's how my mother was with me whatever I cook you going to eat and that's good that baby love some soul food I watch the videos I love soul food too cuz that's all my mother cook with soul food

[@amiajohnson2428]

Im a single mom of a 5 year old and I don’t baby my son at all but o had found out when he’s at school the teachers pick him up etc my mama and them baby him so now I have to deal with that at home and it’s fustraxting the fuck out me cause it’s like now he have these outbursts tantrums etc but with the girls. They talk back they wanna discipline the girls but baby these boys

[@karolynscott545]

I agree but I don't want no any man doing it

[@mishaj5588]

I need to hear more of this... want doesn't work here.

[@blessedwithin47]

Come on Ricky.....I know that's right......yes it should be can i.....im rajsing my grandson so I know what you saying you are speaking truth...o had to break my grandson out of some bad habits....but there are some things I have the village to help me with....but one thing I can tell you....you are speaking the truth we are that kind of parents...old school.....if we have more parents like us majority of these kids wouldn't be off the chain like they are

[@angeliaisroyalty9881]

Is it wrong for a young teenage boy to show his emotions when he's in a stressful situation like being separated from his mom bc of "The System"... Just bc I fight a battle for my son's bc we're in a situation I "DON'T" feel I'm emasculating him...

[@Ps-do2si]

What if your kid earns more then you at ayoung age and think they already there

[@Michelle-tk6sp]

Raise your sons to be better looking and to take care of their looks as well as their insides. Instead of just working on their insides like there is no outside. We're running out of good looking men.
