I think this girl is very wise, don't get me wrong. But I don't necessarily think it's because of herself alone... It's also because her mother respects her enough to grow in her OWN understanding and wisdom, she allows her to articulate her own opinions and feelings as an equal and actually listens. She's an amazing mom☺️

Her environments are definitely nurturing and enriching. She's more articulate than most adults
I love how smart the daughter is and the open dialogue she has with her mom. I can't imagine the daughter ever having asked her mom - 'But why?' and her mom replying. 'Because I said so!' 😀

TheMovieMyLife your comment just made me cry. It made me think about how lucky other children were/are not to have that experience of their parents telling them "because I said so". It's a very ineffective and lazy way of parenting. Assuming that their parents actually taught them lessons and spoke to them respectfully. As pondered this, I just had an epiphany that I'm afraid to have children; I am very displeased with the way my parents parented me. I'm afraid of becoming them, as they were my major influences on how to be parents.

thats how i have been raised too, but its not who i am and the same goes for you :) it's part of your journey and it's a good thing we don't have to do the mistakes our parents did by our own, instead we can learn from it. So its also a good thing that we are raised like that. Don't be afraid of the future and the mistakes you'll make in future. Just give ur best, with your knowledge you already know more than ur parents knew back then :) Trust in yourself ^.^ u decide with kind of parent u gonna be, not the way u were raised like :)

Alexa's a prime example of the ideal dream of all parents - that their children grow up to be better versions of themselves. She has many of the great qualities of her mother in at least twofold measure on top of her own unique traits as a person. Instead of wallowing in self pity about the fact that no one would be a friend to her at school, she took initiative and became a friend to those who were lonely like her. She's a natural born leader and a gifted speaker. She's one of those remarkable souls who lead by good example just by being true to themselves and their strong sense of humanity. I wish this young lady a successful, happy and beautiful life.

What a beautiful description of her motherhood and parenting style!
My favorite part of this video is how the mother has her daughter answer her own questions about why she couldn't be on certain sites on the internet. My dad was/is an excellent communicator: when he was disciplining, he would have me say aloud what I had done wrong and ways I could improve. When I wasn't allowed to go somewhere or do something, we would talk through his reasoning. The time he took to explain developed a deep level of trust between us, because I always knew that he was coming from a place of love, and those messages sunk in deeper when we were the ones who could reason out loud. Communication is SO key to development; it just takes a little more effort on the part of the parent to take the time to sit down and talk with their kids. All moments are teaching moments! I'm so pleased to see that there are other parents like that out there, because I know how much it will benefit and empower this little girl in the future.

Absolutely love this mother and daughter duo
"I don't know why I love you. You're a part of me. And you being a part of me has taught me that loving yourself is an amazing thing as well". Never in my life I had thought about it like this. I guess we tend to identify love as dependence to other person (wether it's romantic love or not) when maybe it can also be about someone else teaching us how to love ourselves by accepting them in our lives and more importantly, accepting the love we're getting from them. I feel inspired now, thank you.
"And suddenly I realised how much you were educating me... It was amazing!!" *teary-eyed*
"My natural instinct is to love you. Cos your face is so bright. Your laugh is full with might,.. And you!" My goodness Alexa is so wonderfully wise and intelligent! In awe!!
This little wonder is wise beyond her years
I loved these two the first time. Glad they're back. 😊

Maureen Wambui this bitch is my problem, how was that not clear . She spams every channel's videos with multiple comments on each literally as soon as the video has been posted. I can't go anywhere without seeing her annoying ass. And she usually has the stupidest comments too. Sometimes I finally think I found a channel where she ain't, but no she ends up finding it too. And blocking won't help. Can't stand this bitch

They are my favourite. They have such a good relationship and the daughter is so articulate and intelligent for her age... even in the first video.
omg what she said to her mama at the end was the cutest thing everrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!💛💛💛 i hope they have fun in Mexico!
“Words do hurt they just don’t hurt you the way sticks and stones do” so wise!
I want to be like this mother when I have children. She is so supportive in the best possible way - and the daughter is so so bright and wise. You can see how proud the mother is. Awww. This makes me emotional, like her, being a mother is something I have just always wanted to be.
Alexa's last answer is wonderful, so well-spoken and sweet
Gosh, they have such a mature and deep connection. Such understanding and emotional depth. I love it.
An activist and a writer, yes. This kid is so intelligent. ❤❤
I hope to be a mom like her and have this kind of relationship with my future daughter

Lol omg was the website they were taking about "wattpad" 😂😭 anyway They are sooo cute! I adore their relationship. The little girl is so smart! And the mom is so patient and I love how she makes sure her daughter understands why she can't do certain things. Good luck in Mexico! I hope everything goes well with the dad.

This pair is so genuine, honest and connected! Thanks for bringing them back!
I'm so glad you brought them back! The little girl is so intelligent but I noticed in this episode that it's because she has an intelligent mother. Her parenting has changed as her daughter grew and the way she communicates with a 9 year old is different from when her daughter was 7. It's amazing! I can only hope to have this connection with my future kids if I have any. They aren't afraid to express their feelings and talk about things that are awkward and uncomfortable. The love between them is so strong and it shows through the nurturing from mom and admiration from daughter. Take care in Mexico!

That girl is amazing, wow, she's so wise for her age. I don't think I've seen a child even similar to her before
Alexa is much wiser than her 9 years. Her mother raised a bright and strong young woman :)
Such a thoughtful and intelligent little girl.
"It has to be what you really think"! This kid is even more amazing the second time around!
I love the way she looks at her moms face... i have watched this so many time
I love their relationship. I love that the mom speaks to her daughter maturely but not over her head while the little girl is clearly very smart and obviously she's stinking adorable.
I have never commented on a KZread video but I felt like I had to. These 2 had such a profound effect on me after their first video. I watched it over and over again. This one hit me even more than the first. The relationship these 2 have is so special. You can feel the pure, unconditional love right through the screen. Thank you for capturing this.

Seriously this is the most beautiful, rawest and honest mother to daughter relationship I have ever seen. I only hope that I have such a bond with my daughter if I am ever blessed with one in this lifetime.
It was really nice to see how the Mom stopped herself from talking to hear her daughter voice her opinion. I think listening is super important in family relationships. I wish I had that growing up more than I did.
Ooohhh my heart
Mom's hair looks beautiful on her
"I think you'll be an activist" That's also my answer! With all that positivities opinion, thought and behaviour, you're a glimmer of hope for this world
Please do a Round 3 for this lovely mother-daughter pair!
Such an important conversation for the mother to share reasons why she places boundaries on the internet. I remember I was resentful for my dad doing that, but he never made me fully understand why he did that. Also - when she described it felt like her job to cheer people up in the playground - I was moved to tears. I would not be surprised if she grew up to be an activist too.
I love this little girl so much (and her mom!) - she reminds me of…me lol and my daughter who is just like me. “I went around the playground and helped the kids that looked sad” - what an incredible kid. My god.
This is what happens when you treat kids as whole persons and not as problematic pets
This girl is going to grow up to change the world. What a beautiful heart she has, and what a beautiful mom who nurtured it❤️
She reminds me so much of my daughter. so wise beyond her years.
they have such healthy communication
I just can't handle Alexa. She is the most amazing little girl. She just brings tears to my eyes during every video.
This child is more mature than half the adults in the world. If everyone had so much of empathy and caring attitude that the little girl embodies, the world would be far better place than it is now. Thanks Mom for teaching your kid stick great values.
Their video was my favorite. I'm so glad they're back!!!!!!!
"it felt like my job" what a sweet soul and humanitarian ❤️
I think no one know you Alexa and he could forget you!! You're such an amazing unforgettable person.. god bless you
I agree with her mom I see her as a person who would def have some sort of activism roles to play in her life such a beautiful soul
The daughter, omg. So smart and sweet. She seems so special. And the mom too. ❤️
I have grown up reading novels, books and writing stories and the best thing you can give your child to have them succeed in life, for them to be accepting, broad minded from a younger age is to get them to read books.
She is Definately God's gift to you. What a beautiful daughter
They are my favourite pair on skin deep. I love the love, honesty and acceptance between them. I hope to have my own version of this love with my future daughter one day.
The mother/daughter relationship makes me melt. Alexa possess an intuition beyond her years and it will be interesting to read her words because I think her perception of the world would be spot on. Alejandra should so proud. She has raised her children well and kudos to her.
She's so wise and mature,What a cutie! and her mom is a sweetheart 💕💕😻
She’s 9 and she’s in middle school ? That’s wonderful
I just love this mother and daughter duo so much!! They (along with Keisha and Andrew) are my FAVORITE group that's ever been here on this series!! I'm so happy they were able to come back again. 🙌🏾🙌🏾😊😊
Oh my gosh, this girl is so bright, the communication and bond that this mother and daughter has is beautiful. She does not seem to feel like she has to act like her daughter’s friend or a strict mother to get her daughter’s love, respect and trust. This mother is a perfect example of a medium between the two, she’s the perfect example of a mother. Her daughter is so articulated, so kind, and the mother answers all her daughter’s question as if she’s an adult, because she knows she will be able to understand and learn with every answer. I hope we see them again when the daughter is older, in her teens and I hope their bond is still as intact and full of love. I just can’t get over how well they communicate and understand EACH OTHER.
Waiting for a part 3 😭😭😭💗💗 these two are amazing !
THEY ARE MY FAVORITE!!! Thank you so much for bringing them back!! ♥️♥️ my heart is happy
Many people here we're praising the adorable child but to me the person who deserves most of the praise is her mum,she is a great mum..
I was SO excited to see this pop up! My favorite duo. The little girl expresses herself so beautifully and is incredibly wise for her age.
Could we PLEASE have an update from these two? I was so touched by both of their conversations and think of them often.
This little girl is so special I can't see it in her when she speaks. I love this so much.
This is the most amazing wholesome mom I have ever seen. And seeing her daughter being so lovable, reasonable and great proves that. I want to see who the grandma is ❤
Watching this at Mother's Day! You're raising her so well. Keep it up!
This is beautiful! Their communication is so precious and pure
Bless her!! this girl is a gem, I have a feeling she is destined for great things!! 💜 💛
this is authentically beautiful and wise
I just love their family, they are so close and intimate. I wish I could have this with my mother so watching this is amazing to me.
Their connection is something special. What an AMAZING mom, and that girl really is such a treasure. I've been thinking about this video all day. What Alexa says to her mother at the very end really hit me so hard. What a beautiful soul, thank you for sharing this with the world!
She is so young but so well spoken and intelligent! I love their relationship and can't wait to see the things she accomplishes in her future!
this was so beautiful. the rapor between the two of them is refreshing and rare.
I could watch them converse on and on forever. I love their conversations, how they interact, and how beautiful they've grown, inside and out. Alexa is definitely a trailblazer. I wish I get to "grow up" just like her (even though I'm 22). Best of luck to the next chapter in your life, Alejandra and Alexa 😘

I love how vulnerable this mom is with her daughter.

I hope they could make another video together or with all the family! totally love them. very inspiring relationship
Very mature for her age she's so wise. Reminds me a lot of me when I was smaller
