I love your kind hearted approach to supporting fellow moms. Particularly, I love that you acknowledged that perhaps that was a “bad day” for the child. As a mother of two non-neurotypical children who have significant behavioral regulation issues at times that spoke right to my heart. With my neurotypical children, I can’t agree enough about modeling and expecting respectful behavior. (Of course I model it for all the kids but my expectations are slightly different based on the children’s’ capabilities.) Side note, you have such a calming voice!

I myself have a lot to work on. Very humbling. Thank you for sharing this. ❤

Thank you for this! Love the bit about parents having a loving tone, not nagging or yelling, so kids can more easily respond in the same way. Also love the focus on the child's heart, not just outward obedience.

During this quarantine, one of my goals are to give my children moral and biblical lessons. Thanks soooo much for having this channel. God bless you!

I talk to my children about situations like this so they can understand there are things you don't suppose to do as a child while living under my roof. Thank you for sharing.

I'm 15 and I obey my mom to the max, she is the one that is in total control.

Great video! Thank you!

Great topic! We are working on this right now in our home. Again, a lot of teaching our kids these things starts with being an example of them. Good reminder!! ♥️

I look forward to these mom talks now! Awesome topic!❤️

You always do a good job of sharing your experience without preaching. Thank-you for sharing the resources you use, that book looks awesome. I think it is important as a parent to respect our children and treat them as equals even though we have authority and responsibility over them. It seems like you do a great job of that.

This is excellent. These are SUCH good videos Shirley. You have such a sweet way of challenging moms to raise their standard and be more intentional in the way we raise and nurture and train our children. Good old-fashioned wisdom right here. ♥️

Your channel is SO helpful to me and such a Godsend. I am learning so much from you.

This was so good... I'm sad to say my kids are very disrespectful...I don't know where to start to have this all change. But I see it's in praying to ask God for help and then I'm to learn to speak respectfully to them. I grew up in a house where although there wasn't yelling, there was an unkindness or authoritative way that was demeaning. I guess I really didn't have a good emotional example. But I know God can teach me and you've given me huge encouragement too. Thx a ton!🤗👍

Thank you for this video! Its very inspiring, practical information and beautiful energy💖

Thank you for sharing! My oldest daughter/child is 11.5, and we are struggling with this. 💓

As always, beautifully said and encouraging! Thanks you!

Wow Shirley, you have this KZread thing down! 👏 I love your quality content, and coming to your channel is like a breath of fresh air - not to mention I could listen to your sweet voice all day! 😁 Can we be neighbors? Haha.

I'm a father, so I ignore the greeting to mom only, and other phrases that seemingly are directed to only moms. But everything else, mercy days, this is so great!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this. This is just what I needed to hear today.

This video is so needed. Many people need to hear your advice. This generation is a generation that feels entitled. Thank you sharing such a great topic. God bless you 😊
