And how you work them through their melt downs. There’s many parenting techniques out there but I love how you are so kind and caring towards the girls and give understanding. There’s not enough of that in the world and I wish there were more parents like you ❤❤❤❤ Edit: Thank you for the sea monkey update 🥰

I made a comment that not many people liked. I apologize if I offended anyone. I just want to add that Guinevere and Anastasia‘s parents are great parents that handle all the up and down emotions of toddlers with grace and ease. It is good to see that they do not scream at their kids for doing some thing wrong. They simply teach what’s right and wrong calmly. God bless them.

[@gailpaton1680]

Fun and educating projects with a reward of sea monkeys at the end. What a great learning tool to help kids to develop patience. This was such fun for the girls and Dad.

Well, it happens. As a family you run out of things. Kids need to learn that, too. When it's gone, it's Gone. I couldn't imagine running out to the store bc my child cried for more. That's just a fact of life we all learn.

[@elaineholtkamp1775]

I agree. And while Gwen had her meltdown, both mom ans dad try over and over to appease her "do you want this? Do you want this?" One day, they will go to school and the teacher will not do this. It's best to learn now everything we want does not go our way.

[@user-lq5pk6ke3e]

right. time outs sometimes are necessary or just ignoring it until she calms down and is ready to continue. I'm glad they let her dig more out though

[@phyllislen2792]

Yes, I too agree. Don't think I heard dad repeat strongly emough that everything was put into the tanks and there wasn't any more left. He did try to comfort Guin when she cried and hid herself from view, but think she needed to hear again that there was nothing left. Kids do have to learn that there are disappointments, which as they mature will learn to handle. Very patient parents!!

[@caroledmondson3119]

You guys are awesome parents.

[@OptimusPine20]

For two years old it amazes me they share so very nice. I love seeing them grow and learn. We all get frustrated and will learn (I’m 67 and still learning lol) to deal with their feelings. Sometimes just being able to express emotions is all we need. I loved seeing their little arms! They are just precious. Does the “Guinster” have a boo boo on her forehead?

[@tvic4038]

So fun! When Ana said ‘perfect’ as Guin put in the gem Dada found on the floor was so sweet!

[@karenevanoff8586]

That was cute❤❤

[@lisalivingston6473]

Such a wonderful science project for the entire family, and I loved how engaged and enthusiastic the girls were in growing and feeding their sea monkeys and Sally shrimp! The plonking sound as the tiny pebbles hit the water sounded so sweet, and it was funny to see how the girls couldn't resist touching the water even as Mom and Dad kept warning them to stop. Guinevere gets easily impatient and frustrated, but I love how her mood can change so quickly on a dime when her outbursts are ignored and soon all is well - great parenting! Anastasia always just seems to go with the flow - LOL! I look forward to seeing the sea monkeys and Sally shrimp grow and thrive. See you all tomorrow row row row for the promise a new day brings in the adventures in the lives of the Barton twins! 🥰💜💖😘👍👍

@@yanaarsyadi8965 I do not believe that you are familiar with the American colloquialism. It is not meant in any way as derogatory, but only means used like this as a child that is very spirited and emotive.

For those who asking…per google…Sea-Monkeys is a marketing term for brine shrimp sold as novelty aquarium pets. Developed in the United States in 1957 by Harold von Braunhut, they are sold as eggs intended to be added to water, and most often come bundled in a kit of three pouches and instructions. Wikipedia
