This video went viral a long time ago.
It’s this cute 3-year old kid arguing with his mom saying: “Linda! Listen to me!”
But, notice that she isn’t actually listening to him.
Unconscious adults make the mistake of thinking that their kids are stupid.
LISTEN TO ME 😉
Your kids are NOT STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!
They deserve the exact same amount of respect that you would give to any other adult.
Look at the mom’s classic argument at the end:
“I’m the adult and you’re the child so you should listen to me or I’m going to spank you.”
But, unfortunately, what Linda doesn’t understand, is that just because this little dude is 3 years old, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve to feel seen, heard, and respected.
This doesn’t mean you have to let your kids walk all over you…
but you have to develop the emotional maturity to be able to hold space for what they’re trying to communicate to you… and genuinely hear it.
This video had comments turned off… but I already know that there were TONS of comments along the lines of:
“Wow! This kid is such a brat! This mom must have it so hard!”
IDIOT!
That’s the exactly incorrect way to think about this situation.
Your kid is literally a mirror of you.
Look at what the kid is doing:
He’s literally just mirroring her own attitude back to her.
HE’S NOT BEING LISTENED TO!!!
Remember:
if your kids aren’t listening to you…
it’s probably because YOU AREN’T LISTENING TO THEM!
I bet you didn’t think of that, did you? You selfish ego.
😜
