24 HOURS IN MY LIFE AS A MOM 

Hi!!! 24 hours in my life as a mom!! Let’s go 🥳

When my toddler has a tantrum I have a rule for myself where first I acknowledge their emotion letting them know it’s okay to have those big feelings, then I tell him why he can’t do the thing he is doing, and then give him one or two things that he CAN do. This is really a game changer for us, obviously first trying to prevent the tantrums in the first place but like in your case you couldn’t have anticipated her getting upset over not having more oranges. So for example in this case I would say, “i see you are upset that your oranges are all gone. We don’t have any more, but we can color a picture for daddy, or we can go take some deep breathes outside and see how many cars we can count! Which would you like to do?” It gives them a sense of control. If it’s a smaller thing like this I think distraction is best. Offering them a different food likely will upset them so you want to detract the attention from food and give them options that might excite them. Hope this helps!

idc what you guys tell me, but kayla is such a good mom to her kids and i LOVE it!!

sometimes at the childcare center i work at, we take them outside to cool down & collect their emotions while talking through what they may be feeling

Watching Ellie just makes my day… it’s kinda sad that she’s growing up so fast 🥲 but it’s also cute to see her talk 🥺

As a speech-language pathologist, this is the best advice to parents on increasing their child's verbal skills! Also, a child's play is their learning time (turn-taking, requesting, joint attention etc.) so have productive playtime! And remember, a child will know 50 words before they can say 10, so if they seem to have a limited, don't freak out! You got this!

Ellie’s breakfast always looks like it slaps I’m jealous 😂😂

My mom always says when I was a kid her or my dad would take me to the car and talk me out of the tantrum. Just talk to me softly and see what’s bothering me. It really helped them!!

My mom told me that when I was a baby, I was not happy whenever someone did the baby talk with me, I’d be like 🤨. I do love what you’re doing with your little one and her growth has been amazing, along with yours too ♥️♥️

when I’m ready to have kids one day, i’m gonna look back at her videos for advice … so thank you in advance kayla ❤️

you are absolutely glowing Kayla. you are such a good mom and proud of you🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Does anyone else want to be a mom like Kayla, when they have kids? 😂😅

It's very nice to see such warm home videos with your baby inside and with the baby next to you. I wish you happiness and joy! Enjoy every moment.

I love the way how you handle your pregnancyyyy and toooodler! So proud of you. Its motivate me ❤️ in my 1st trimester ❤

I’m sooo excited for baby sister to be here and to watch them grow together!! My baby girl is about to turn 2 months and I’ve watched Eli grow up and you are such a great mom ❤

Your videos are just so calming, i look forward to them ❤️ really excited for the new addition 💜

your videos bring me so much comfort and know that I will be binging all of your mom videos so that I can take notes for when I start a family in the future!

I can tell Ellie is gonna be such a good big sis

You are an amazing mommy. Both of your girls are lucky they will have you as a role model mom.😢❤

I feel at home when i see your videos, you're so inspiring. Lots of love to you and your family 💗

Love your little family so much!! You inspire me so much Kayla 🖤

I’m so happy tat you posted this ❤❤

I’m not a mom but I’m the oldest sister (22) to twins who are now 5. I would take them to the car, let them calm down, Talk to them, play soft music. You never want to cause a scene by yelling at them, it will make it worse. You’ll be able to resume whatever your doing with a happy baby, unless she’s tired 💕❤️

Your little family >>>>> ❤

you’re such a good mom kayla 🥹❤

Finally, I missed you and your family 😊♥️

Toddler tantrums are her feeling big feelings and not knowing how to handle them! Whether she's in public or not, I think a good thing to try would be to meet her where she's at, show her that you understand her emotions, and co regulate with her before correcting any misbehaviors or focusing on the root of the tantrum. Have her practice things like hugging you/rocking back and forth with you, deep breathing, etc. while she's calm so that her body will learn that feeling of relaxation and it'll help her when she's in an escalated state of mind. Meeting her where she's at, showing her that you understand, co regulating, offering little distractions to gently shift her emotional state, and then having a conversation to correct any misbehaviors or talk about what caused the tantrum if necessary is generally a good approach. Toddlers can't process complicated language when they're feeling big feelings, and even if it's in public it's okay to step out to the car to calm down. Even adults need to step out and take a break sometimes! I'm not a mom, but I have a psychology background and experience working with kids :)

Kayla I honestly love these videos! Puts me in mind of me and daughter while my fiancé at work🥹❤️

Kayla pls be careful and don’t do a lot of things take careful of yourself and hope the best for you!❤

Kayla you go gurl you are doing so good like💪🥺💗

You are an amazing mom!🤍 with two kids!!🦋

I am not a parent but a much older sibling and I find the approach of gentle parenting/responsive parenting really good, especially because the child herself mostly doesn't even know why she is mad or wants to cry and scream and gentle parenting is a way of trying for them also to understand themselves better, of course this won't work immediatly or anything like that, but it is way for them and also you to handle all these big emotions (Iespecially like mommacusses on youtube, she is great)

Can’t wait to see when you have two of your daughters in the vlogs 💞

girl??? your hair and skin looks AMAZING

Kayla your a brilliant mother

cute Kayla, congrats !!!

omggg ellie is literally the cutest

You know you LOVE kayla when u watch her vedios over n over just to watch the ads to make her happy..

Happy your back I missed you lolz 😂 I’m not a mom but I pretty much raised my niece and when she would have tantrums in public it was usually because she was tired and picking her up and rocking was enough but every kid is different 😊

Hi Kayla I love ur videos btw ur baby is too adorable ❤

We usually take our kids outside to walk around and calm them down. It’s always worked and they can get some energy out by running outside.

Super random but you’re stunning 🤭 and you have gorgeous hair! ♥️ love your vids girl! 👏🏼

I’m a mom to a 1 year old and you’re my idol 🥹❤️❤️❤️ i love your relationship with Ellie ❤️

Finally the long wait is over

Where I live, we were only allowed to have the non flavoured glucose drink and even that isn’t too bad. I used a straw and I was able to chug it. I failed the first 1 test and had to do the 3 hour one and the drink is even sweeter. Hope you pass your 1st test this time!
