Kids Starting YouTube, Opting Out and New Interests with Lisa Bass @farmhouseonboone | Ep. 303 

I clicked this SO fast haha! ❤ I absolutely love Lisa and am so excited that this is an in-person episode! They just "hit different" as the kids say 😂

I love Lisa! I feel like she's so real and relatable and also so chill. We think everyone has everything all together and figured out to the T but I love how Lisa doesn't act like she does. For example some of the questions she's like idk we haven't really thought about that yet lol.

Another vote for "The Coddling of the American Mind"! 👍 Highly recommend for parents, aunts/uncles, coaches, etc.

LOVE this podcast. Thanks for hosting Lisa for us

Omg same here as soon as I saw she was interviewing Lisa Bass I clicked instantly. Just love watching her so inspiring!

yay i love in person interviews! so much better than the virtual interviews!

Congratulations on Baby 6 🎉❤

Greetings from North Idaho! I’ve never commented before but just wanted to say thanks for creating such positive and interesting content. I try to keep screen time at a minimum but over the past 6 months you guys (and Lisa!) have been helping me get through the sleepless nights with a newborn/infant. Keep up the great work guys, love what you’re doing! -Jordan (posting from my husband’s account)

Oh wow I must’ve missed the pregnancy announcement!! Congratulations!

Love BOTH of your RU-vid channels so much, and have learned a ton from both of your families. I couldn’t be more excited for this episode. ♥️

I AM SO EXCITED FOR this video!!!!! I LOVE Lisa’s channel and the this podcast as well and so this collaboration is AMAZING! God bless!☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️💕💕 and congratulations on BABY🙏

I love the kids in the background! So fun watching this!

Love Lisa! I requested those books on Libby. ❤

This was SO fantastic, thanks for sharing. Love Lisa and now I have 4 new books to read 🙈.

I smiled so many times during this! ❤️

Nice to see you in one video together! I like both of your yt channels and podcasts so much 😊

I love lisa!!! Never seen your channel. Saw lisa..that's my lady right there. Beat bread recipie out there

Loved this episode! Very relaxed and relatable!

Haha I was watching the bump in the striped shirt with a whole bunch of side eye... then Elisha's face when she dropped that. Great moment! Congrats guys!

Anyone else here part of a walkie-talkie childhood? Born in 89 and we always used them when we were kids. We’d have them when we were out in the neighborhood playing and also out and about at bigger locations like camp grounds or a theme park. It was the pinnacle when you were trusted enough to wander off for a few hours of adventure w/cousins or close friends with your walkie-talkie in tow. I only had a flip phone once I got to HS. my parents pre-loaded 30-60 minutes on it monthly for after school activity check ins.

Loved the podcast! Congratulations on baby number 6 🥹🥹

Gosh this was such a great interview. I babysat 3 kids all day when I was 11 years old. I know parents around my neighborhood keep their kids close and not out and about. So sad......

I've been waiting for this one!! I live in your town, and she mentioned speaking at the Homesteaders Convention and being on your podcast. I watch you both regularly. It was a great conversation! We do 4H and sometimes swim lessons on and off, but we try not to be involved in too much either, we love the freedom.

Better to be safe than sorry, keep your kids always close by!

Loved this one!

The fact that her family is in the other room...that's real.

Congratulations!! So exciting!

it is also a cultural thing, though. here in Germany it is rather common for kids to walk, bike, or also take public transport to elementary school. or go to the park and playground by themselves. however, i have heard that in the USA authorities would be called if you let your child play in the front yard alone. so, it is even hard to change the helicoptering even if you want?

I loved this talk! Such great insight about getting kiddos outside despite your current living location. We do live on acreage now and doing the homesteading thing, but before we moved we lived in very dense suburbia in South Florida. We did the whole 1000 Hours Outside challenge while still living there. It was hard, and hot, but we needed that! It rewired our brains to spend most of our time outside. Then, when we did move to land last year, we were prepared for the amount of time we actually are *forced* to spend outside now, starting and maintaining the homestead 😅 If we didn’t have that “training” period we would have been in shock. All that to say, if you are in an urban or suburban environment, don’t keep saying you will spend more time outside once you move to more land. Start now! 😊

This was a treat!!

❤❤

Congrats you guys!!! 🎉❤

yay you’re pregnant?! When did you announce?! 🎉🎉🎉

You guys this is amazing! Congratulations !!!!!!!!!!! Is this your first time announcing on social media or did I miss it? What a huge blessing from the Lord!!!❤❤❤❤❤

Whaaaaaaaat!!!! Congratulations ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Aww congratulations!!!!

Loved this episode! I feel very blessed that we live in a very nice neighborhood in WI where the kids all play outside. We have a cul du sac and everyone has ring doorbells as well. But I remember that same feeling “can I/should I let my kids play outside alone?”.

I've had way too many life experiences to allow children to go to a park alone (they don't stand a chance of fighting off a kidnapper) In the 70s, when I was growing up in Reno, Nevada, a brother, age 12, and sister age 6, went to nearby Idlewild Park without an adult. When they ran out of money at the small amusement park, the older brother made the fateful decision to send his sister home alone to ask for more money. Somewhere on her walk to the house (blocks away), she was kidnapped and murdered. The brother has to live with that for the rest of his life. When I was about 6, living in that same neighborhood, I woke up late for school one morning during a snowstorm. My Mom was a single parent who left for work at 6:30 a.m., and my older brother never waited for me. I walked alone in the snow to school. A man pulled up and told me he was a teacher and asked if I wanted a ride. I told him that I didn't recognize him, but he lied and said he was a substitute teacher. I got in. He drove slowly. I looked over and realized he had his pants down. He started saying perverted things to me. I started praying in my heart and was freaked out, knowing this was a bad situation. Miraculously! He pulled up in front of the school, and I got out and fled. When you learn about abductors, they virtually NEVER let you go. God saved me. Another famous case happened at Lake Tahoe. The girl , Jaycee Duggard, went to a convenience store alone. She was abducted, and her bike was found. A friend's son was bike riding to sorts practice, I think it was, like we used to do in the 70s. He was hit and killed in a crosswalk. I know things happen, but this is not safer than the 70s.

kids in the 70-80’s were great at entertaining themselves and being creative

YAY LISAAAAAAAA

Hearing you guys talk about kids walking around the neiborhood themselves makes me think we need to have a house in town because our town kids are pretty free.

There is a very crazy world out there. Kids disappear all the time! Stay on the safe side.

It’s like this crossover is made for me!! And she’s there in person!! 😂🩷

Wooow!! Lisa!!))

I have to say my number one reason for using screens is to keep them safe while I cook or shower or something. My husband's parents were a nurse and a police officer added with my fear of the kids hurting themselves which has happened so don't feel it's an unfounded fear. I'm not sure how as parents we can move past this fear.

WELL CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! omg 🥹

I think the US is physically safer, but not digitally. My main concern about letting my kids play outside is the neighbor teen with a smart phone.

It's kind of interesting that you haven't really gotten to it about the phones we homeschool as well, but our kids have at least wanted a watch or something like that to be able to talk more freely with their friends.. And my 14-year-old is actually advocating for my 16-year-old to have a phone. But to be fair since he is driving or we've taken them to sports practice or something we have sent what we call the home phone with... Doesn't have access to anything except for calling and texting basically. So they can let Us know they made it safely or are coming back or whatever...

Congratulations on baby #6, can you guys touch on breastfeeding & formula feeding. How to ween & what has worked for you with feeding with breastmilk & formula. Thank you

Wait, I missed the pregnancy announcement! Congratulations!!!

For hot days tree shade and water ❤❤❤

I love to hear that y’all don’t get baby sitters for a 10 and 13 year olds! I was left alone at 5/6 very independent raised by a single mom who had to work and I just had to figure things out she would drop in on her breaks cause she worked so close not that people should leave there 5 year olds alone but I mean you just figure it out but I always see post in our community page for parents looking for a sitter for a 10 year old and it just blows my mind 🤯 like why does your 10 year old need to be watched for a couple hours for a quick date night 😅

I want to let my kids have more freedom but I’m not there. When my son is older I’ll feel better because at least then he can protect his sister!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Which episode was the pregnancy announcement in?

I'm quote sure Lionel will be one in July and in their newsletter Elisha says she's 11 weeks pregnant. Anyone wanna do the maths for me? 😅

Where are they moving to? A farm i guess? Did threy talk about it anywhere yet?

Hold up, Chad and Janice didn’t take an overnight trip until Katie was 10?!? I was planning to leave my first 10 month old with my mom for an overnight anniversary trip coming up and now I feel so guilty! Is it wrong to leave while babies are young? 😅

Wait. Is Katie pregnant?

10 years old overnight watching younger siblings?! What?!

someones pregnantttttt
