Thank you for helping Landon find lots of fun activities he CAN do with a broken wrist rather than getting mad at him for wanting to still be super active and not understanding. You’re a great mom for validating your kids feelings.
Jess, as someone who grew up with her emotions never truly validated, I'm so glad you told Landen "it's ok to feel frustrated". The best thing a parent can do is validate their kid's emotions - even when it's tough.
Validating your kids feeling and letting them know that it’s ok to feel those big feelings and it’s ok to cry is the best thing you could ever do for them!
Yes!!! Do you happen to listen to Glennon Doyle’s podcast? They recently talked about this on there, how the worst thing in the world is to tell someone to not feel the way they feel, just validate how they’re feeling and it will immediately almost magically make them feel better.
Aww hearing Landon cry is soo heartbreaking! I can’t imagine how frustrating it is to not be able to do the things you love! Best luck to Landon and hope he feel better soon!!! ❤️💜
You are such an incredible mama to those kids. As someone who has rough relationships with my own parents, watching you talk through Landen's frustration and help him find solutions warmed my heart so so much. You've got this ❤️
I really appreciate the rare moments when you parent, I totally respect that you want to keep those moments private but it helps me as a mom so much...
Poor Landen him crying just broke me 🥺 I know how hard is it not being able to do something for the longest time but it does get better as the time passes and you are healing!
A word to describe Landon is Resourceful! Meaning he uses what tools/abilities he has and adapts to things so he can resolve necessary situations/challenges.😊👏🏼
Maybe have big Caden talk to Landen about his break since he just got over a broken leg! Also, I’m totally getting Monster Inc vibes from the costumes 🤔
I saw the yellow and thought Charlie Brown 😭😭 but there’s no way if they are going to a Disney thing they aren’t doing Disney especially with how much they love it
The validation and support that radiates from Jess like even when she’s frustrated she continues to make everyone feel important. When addie put stickers on her hand while she was frustrated the “I appreciate you” LEMME JUST CRYYYY I loveeee the love you have for ur kids they’re gonna remember the support and validation for their lifetime ♥️
Oh, Landen just broke my heart!! It’s absolutely devastating to realize that you can’t just do all the things you’ve always done. It’s not fair and it’s frustrating and I feel his pain and sorrow. Please give him a hug from all of us. So happy Lilia finally got in the school!! Hope she has a fantastic first day. Thank you for sharing your life with us. ❤️
Aww hearing Addie try to comfort Landen is the sweetest thing! She is so encouraging! "Maybe you can do that Landen?" I'm melting I'm hoping Landen feels better soon! Let him know that resting the arm and not doing dangerous things for a while may help the arm heal faster! ^^
When I had a cast it was really hard to get used to at first but after the first week or two it got better. I started getting used to what I could and couldn't do. Hopefully Landen can find something he enjoys that he can actually do.
Landen’s cry broke my heart. & You handled it so well. I hope that at least one person sees this & learns that a child’s frustration shouldn’t be matched with more frustration, but matched with compassion! You’re an amazing Mama. ♥️
Aww Landon, it’s heartbreaking to see you so sad. Moms right on this, you can’t do all the stuff you want to do right now. I’m so surprised you don’t have more pain and so glad you don’t. You need to definitely need to rest and heal so you can get back to your regular play, you definitely don’t want to get it hurt more so you don’t need surgery. I’d love to see how you can do art, drawing and painting. Hope you heal quickly.
I’ve been following you since the birth of the twins, and to this day you’re still my role model in this crazy parenting world. I’m a new mom and I learn a lot from you, the way you validate the emotion of each kid just amaze me❤️❤️❤️❤️
Broke my heart for Landon and Jessica. Brought back memories when my at the time 5yr old broke her elbow and needed surgery. She wanted to play so badly. Being these ages can be hard. Jessica, remember you are an amazing mama! Hugs!
I feel for Landon, when I was a little younger than him I fell out of a shopping cart and broke my arm in two places. The day I got my cast off my mom took me to a park and I tripped over some tree roots and rebroke my are in two places. But I know Landon is a smart and brave little champ and he will be able to do so many talented things one handed in till he is 100% again!!! From one mother to another I am sending you extra superpowers to get through this. It's always harder on us to watch our babies hurt or be sad!!! SENDING EXTRA LOVE ❤ AND PRAYERS FOR YOU AND LANDON!!!💚❤💚❤
I’m gonna be honest, I just finished having a mental breakdown. All I wanted was for you to post! And you did! I love you guys sm! You mean truly everything to me
I feel so bad for him; I had the same thing happened to my daughter & you feel so helpless. She broke her leg and then her arm back to back. It was refreshing to see you explain to him why he couldn’t play & then find ways & things that he could do. 💕
Jess, Thank you so much for not invalidating Landen's feeling, I grew up not allowed to have my feeling validated, and you gave me so much relief from ou letting him feel freely and giving him space, you truly are an amazing mom. I look up to you. So much.
I had to stop the vlog to comment on how damn impressed I am with how you handled poor Landon’s frustrations!! I absolutely LOVE how you let him know you understand how he felt and redirected his attention! Way to go Jess! ❤️
I said the same thing she did a hell of a job with handling that I could see her frustration but she made sure he understood what she was saying and brought it to his attention that this is what you have to deal with when you do things sometimes
@@deyonnadreher1221 ....she’s raising them to know how to deal with their emotions...kids need that! I’m a 27th year high school teacher and I can tell many of my kiddos haven’t been so lucky to have an understanding parent like this! ❤️
Jess, You teach me how to be the mother I have always wanted to be when it comes to talking to my kids, helping them through emotions, remaining calm, and loving .. if I have a question about something when it comes to being a mom I can literally look through your videos, and find advice. Wether it be through your words, or actions. Thank you for inspiring me to be the mom I know I am capable of being.❤️
I really respect you for not filming Landen being vulnerable, some vlogers out there would always shove the camera into their kids faces every time they cry. Also that doll at 16:30 freaked me out lol.
@@veesevie I don’t think she’s “using” her kids for clickbait.. This is a FAMILY channel where they document and share there lives, the good/fun times and also the hard times. Which isn’t always easy because of judgments like this.. She posts multiple times a week.. You think that no one would notice his arm had a cast on it? Of course she’s going to share what happened! As a fellow follower we care about them and we feel like part of the Fam!
@@leahrae4673 8 on years on you tube posting this kind of content >? , all i have to do is go through video list thumbnails and titles, = Click-Bait as for family channel , what is lackng in your lives that you need this ? em// ....exploitation from nonconsentual minors= wrong , their privacy is forver gone .you think thats fab,>
It was so hard to hear him cry! I cried for him your an amazing parent Jess your kids are so lucky to have someone who truly cares about their feeling and emotions❤️
I think you handled it the best way possible you where telling him it’s okay to be frustrated is something parents sometimes forget to tell their kids you are a amazing mother to the kids ❤
Oh no, that sounds really painful! I hope the Landon is doing okay now. Accidents can be tough, but it's important to stay positive and take good care of ourselves. Stay strong! 💪😊
It breaks my heart seeing him like this! At least he’s got a wonderful family that is there for him and to do fun things with him, I can’t imagine being young and not being able to play like a kid. He’ll get through it ✊🏻
Love your gentle parenting. Sitting down with them and understanding their emotions and helping him understand the situation and coming up with something to fix the situation 💕
I’m 26 & broke my leg recently, so I understand his frustration completely .. not being able to do what your normally able to do is really frustrating. I’m still trying to heal. You’re such a great momma 💗 love your videos!
i dislocated my ankle and broke my fibula 2 years ago and actually had to have surgery. not being able to do anything for 3 months was so incredibly frustrating. as an adult it was extremely difficult to handle, i can’t even imagine having to deal with it as a kid. just keep reiterating that it’s not forever even though it may feel like it. you’ll be back to your normal active self in no time, landen! ♥️
when I shattered my elbow as a kid I remember being devastated about not being able to play with my friends. my parents definitely accommodated by getting toys that I could play with! like hand held toys! I did go through a few DS lites too 😅
So sorry this happened to Landen. My son broke his arm in kindergarten and for 2 weeks he had no cast because they first diagnosed him with a sprain until his broken bone popped up and I took him to emergency again. Then I was told he may need surgery, it was so scary. Thankfully a cast fixed it but still as Moms we can't see our babies in pain. You're an amazing Mom, your kids are so lucky to have you ❤
Omgggg I think there Halloween costume theme this year is going to be Monsters Inc. The yellow suit was the CDA and the glasses with the rhinestones is Roz ahhhhh I’m so excited❤️
I pray that Landen has a speedy recovery. I love you Jess and your doing a amazing job during this frustrating time. I could feel your pain when your were telling landen no. I love that you talked to him and explained to him what could happen. He is one blessed dude to have you as a mama. Love you guys.
I vividly remember watching the vlog where Landen broke his arm before his fourth birthday trip to Disneyland and he ended up with a Hulk green cast. He was very brave then and he’s just as brave, if not braver, now. He’s got this 💙
i love seeing you go on one on one dates with the kids! a few vlogs ago, i loved seeing you and Lilia go shopping and to Starbucks, and watching you, Lilia, and Roxie (Roxy?) go to Starbucks makes me remember when I was little and would do similar things with my parents. I also loved seeing you take Landen to get a donut, it’s really little moments like those that they’re going to keep with them forever. I know I still do from when I was little & i’m 20 now❤️
Thank you for being so open and honest on your channel. It’s rare people on social media are like that nowadays. It’s what makes channels like yours so special 💛
Land on is such a remarkable young man. Nothing phrases him. As for injuries. I've had many operations because of my disease Rheumatoid Arthritis.Each time you recover from not being able to you and arm. Or hand. Etc. You just naturally educate yourself to do basic tasks differently. I'm sure Landon has done this. He is a very clever young man.. Love all your children. They are just so much fun. With such a caring and kind attitude. Your a brilliant mum Jess.😍
So sweet Jessica I LOVE how you ENCOURAGE your kids!!!! And motivate them despite there odds encourage your baby that he can still play drums while only having one hand! Love that your showing them anythings possible 💜
You seem like such a good mom. I haven't ever really watched you guys before but some of your videos came up in my recommended so I watched them, and just in all of them you seem so caring and loving towards your kids. And the fact that you didn't show Landon's face when he was crying just says so much about you. I know a lot of RU-vid family who film their children's whole meltdowns and will show their face and just the whole thing. I think it's really good that you still share with your viewers what's going on but still respect your children's privacy. I juat think that's great 🙂
I needed that “what’s up fam.” I had my first day of 7th grade homeschool today. It was stressful and boring 🤣🤣 love your family so much! I also LOVE Lilias style and name! 😘😘
enjoy 7th grade! it's a crazy time in your life but just enjoy the little things. 😊😊 the one piece of advice i have is not to let people make you feel bad for liking things you like. don't let people minimize the importance of the things you're experiencing, both good and bad. adults tend to forget what it was like before they got old 😉 hope school gets less boring for you! 💜
Hearing Landen cry was heartbreaking and my eyes were watering but I love how you handled the situation and told him its ok to feel frustrated, such a great mom, I love how you googled what he can do with one arm to make him feel better and show him that he can still do fun stuff ❤❤❤ hope he heals good and fast
I had surgery on my arm when I was 16 and was in a full arm cast for 12 months. I remember how frustrating it was to lose some of my independence. The thing I struggled with was asking for help. I feel like you handled the situation with Landen so well. You never let your frustration show in your conversation with him. I think all you kids will go back when they are older and watch your videos, recognizing how well they were loved and supported.
*happy sigh* I love Mimi. 🥰 She always makes me happy, but now I love her even more for calmly teaching the children about Praying Mantis and to respect it. Love that. He was so cute with his little arms up.
I broke my ankle in two places and one of the breaks split about halfway up my leg. I had the same debate about whether it would be considered a leg or ankle fractue, and they said it was technically an ankle fracture. They had to put a bunch of screws and a couple plates in
Me when I fractured my pelvis, clavicle and shoulder.. Getting upset I couldn't take the dogs on walks (cause sitting at home was so boring), got to the point mum almost wanted to strap me to the bed
I was never allowed to have big emotions from anger to sadness to frustration among others without being made to feel like I was doing something wrong. Thank you so much for letting Landon know his feelings are valid and helping him with a way of coping (focusing on the positives, what can be done not what can’t be) with said frustration. As an adult I still really struggle to manage my big emotions so this will be an amazing lesson among what I imagine are many more behind the scenes to help him cope as an adult without you 💞.
imma just say .. when jess put on the glasses when she was unpacking the amazon halloween stuff, it reminded me of velma from scooby doo👀 that might be their costumes
I can tell you're doing Harry Potter halloween with those Rita Skeeter glasses and green dress, especially after just seeing your recent trip to Universal!
I just want to thank you for your vlogs, I’ve been watching for forever & have been so inspired by what a kick ass mom you are! I just gave birth to our first baby, Sadie Faye on the 7th at 1:53am. Unfortunately she’s in the nicu at the moment (she had fluid in her lungs) she’s passing every milestone with flying colors & off every machine that was supporting her just 2 days ago! Breastfeeding & pumping for her has been an amazing process but so beyond difficult. Being able to watch your videos for a double pump session during such a hard time has brought me so much joy. Thank you 💗
