Bairn and a Backpack
Великобритания
Добавлен 30 мар 2020
Hey everyone! Hallo zusammen!
I’m Kara and welcome to my channel, Bairn and a Backpack. 'Bairn' is a Scottish word for ‘child’ and I am mum to a two year old toddler called Ben and I really enjoy taking to the mountains in my free time with him on my back, hence the name of my channel.
As with all toddlers, Ben is adorable and incredibly active and is also growing up speaking two languages as my husband, Thomas, comes from southern Germany.
On my channel, you'll find videos about being outdoors and travelling with a toddler, Montessori inspired and respectful parenting, activity and craft ideas and raising a bilingual child.
Thank you so much for watching my videos and I would love it if you'd subscribe if you are interested in joining us on our parenting adventure!
See you soon! Bis bald!

HALLOWEEN CRAFTS FOR TWO YEAR OLDS | 6 simple Halloween activity ideas for young toddlers
This is child #6 for me, however this was so helpful as I've been out of practice! Loved the ideas on how to incorporate ths toys as well! Thank you!
im american and i hope i have children one day. im a gay guy but am dressed up as a girl in my picture. im definitely gonna raise them trilingually and have a tutor read stories, talk, etc on a tablet. the less my babies are around people the better. i hope it works, i think it will. ill do this the day i bring them home fron the hospital. they actually begin to learn language in the womb and its amazing how much you can improve your brain by feeding it. bilingual babies just after birth show on brain scans they can reconize sounds that their monoligual counterparts cant. ive never found babies cute. theyve always looked scary but whenever i see a baby i know im looking at a genius and am amazed. its crazy how fast they can learn languages and they can master a perfect accent unlike adults. they can easily learn 3 languages in 3 years. children learn languages really fast and forget them really fast. theres kids who move from france and forget french. im black and live in chicago-the most dangerous place in america but a rich white family adopted me. so i speak english with the standard american accent but when i go to the city the blacks are always so amazed at how "proper" i sound. polish is the hardest langage ive seen. each word has 13 different ways you can say it because of the cases. german doesnt have as many. the number two has 22 differwnt ways you can say it and when spelling the three to's in english i always got them mixed up till i was 16. threres three genders like german. polish people speak crazy fast. i think to myself it would be funny if they changed the curriculum entirely to polish in the city schools in chicago. the ghetto blacks would go from speaking a ghetto accent to speaking the worlds hardest language that only white people speak snd speaking a zillion miles per hour🤣🤣
Thanks for the video , camping for the first time with kids can be taunting especially but you made look so easy and stress free and you've definitely given me some useful tips!
Excellent, we enjoyed this! Great video
thank you! we live in a similar size apartment (57 m2) with two kids and we always rotate the toys like you do :) also we dont need as much clothes as people would think, if we have too much clothes it is just too much washing hehe. Thank you for the good advice and good channel
"we have a wheaty stacker called a toggles mule" what?!?!
I love how he plays on top of the coffee table! My son is one year old and he would just fall in a second. I love it!
Get my Osprey Poco Pack tomorrow cant wait to get out with my 9 month old over the weekend (so long as the weather allows)
Thank you! Your son is too sweet ❤️
Thank u so much. ❤ So much inspiration for our first birthday😊
A very helpful video. X
That's gorgeous
Love the channel new subber
Love this! Also from Scotland but don't live there now so lovely to hear the accent ❤️
Would love to see an update now - although understand if you are trying to keep Ben out of the spotlight now as he has grown older :)
Wow!! I would absolutely NEVER be able to do all of that in so few days!!
If English becomes very dominant, will you consider both speaking German at home?
Hey! It's definitely a consideration for us and one we review quite often! Luckily his languages are still pretty balanced (he's now 5) although it definitely helps that he goes to school in a 3rd language, Gaelic. I think it helps to stop English becoming too dominant! 😀
@@BairnandaBackpack Tá sé sin iontach uile!!! Caithfidh mé a rá go raibh roinnt uaireanta ann agus tusa ag rá rudaí áirithe agus mé féin ag ceapadh "m'anam nach bhfuil blas na gaeilge ar a cuid cainte". Níor thuig mé go raibh sibh in bhur gcónaí sa nGaeltacht!! Not sure if you can read Irish (I can usually read most Gàidhlig so I figure maybe you can) but that's wonderful!!
@@BairnandaBackpack Watching your videos I have often thought you sounded like someone that speaks our language :)
brilliant video Kara!! Can’t believe I came across this video! Hope you are doing well :) I want to go camping with my almost 3 year old but last time I camped was for DOE when everything’s planned for you haha. This video has been helpful ❤I’ll check out your other ones too
Hey! What a small world! 🌎 We now have our 5 year old Ben and 1 year old twins and have upgraded to a campervan. Still exploring the mountains though! Give us a shout if we can help with your adventures! ♥️ Hope your whole family are well!
I was looking for things to do with our beaver Scouts this weekend, some of these are great activities! Might adjust some things to our 5-7 year olds tho. Thanks for sharing <3
Thank you for this video! This is really interesting, as I have an 18-month-old girl, who we have raised bilingual with (mostly) OPOL since birth. Our combination is also that I am an English native speaker and my husband a German one. We've already seen her starting to use both languages and knowing which to use when - it's so exciting to see!
I somehow knew ben's father is german. Ha Ha... Enjoyed the hike video. I really want to do this with Maya But scared.
Thanks! This was great :)
These are all such great ideas! Thank you!
Thank you for this! When looking for toddler books, I've been surprised and annoyed to discover that 90% of books seem to be about animals acting like humans... or they're really ugly... or they have a political agenda. So hard to find just nice stories about people! I've never heard of any of the books you mentioned and look forward to checking them out!
Lovely video :) i Wonder how much stuff can u fit into thé baby Carrier...
Lovely video. Also reminded me how much I love German, haven't spoken it in years so I must start again.
Totally showing this to my wife to persuade her to allow me to take my little girl wild camping 😜😜 Done 5 wild camps in the Lake District with my 5 year old son but really want to spend the same quality time with the wee lassie too! Thanks for showcasing the possibilities. Do you still get out together? ❤
Cute ideas!
Loved the video! Appreciated how thorough and honest your review was! I just signed up for the Koala Krate for a sweet 2 year old that I Nanny. I have preteens and was a kiwi crate subscriber for them for a couple years but never at the Koala age range. So thanks!!! **There were some parts where you were speaking rather fast, that coupled with your (beautiful) accent I had a little trouble understanding. Im sure you aren’t an American focused channel but I would hate for people to miss out on your wonderful and quality video ❤
Can you please tell me the location
Is there a way to motivate a young toddler without rewards to use the potty? Mine (16 months) will no longer use the potty because he "doesn't want to."
Great Great video!!! Thank you so much for all these great advices!!! 😍
Love the video. Using aftermarket carseat covers are not safe. To protect the carseat during potty training you can use a pull-up over the underwear, rubber underwear, or a cloth diaper cover over the underwear ❤️
My child has loved your book recommendation
That's so great to hear! Happy reading! ❤️
Thank you! That was useful and beautiful. Will try hiking with my baby as well:))
Have fun and enjoy making memories together! ❤️
Getting ready to start light walking/hiking with my five-month old boy in a few months, and this was ready helpful. Thank you!
This video is so beautiful and inspiring, i was searching for a vlog to see how it is to travel with a toddler. Your vlog inspired me to start planning; please continue this good work :)
Nice hats
So awesome! Hope I find a new wife someday to accompany my daughter and I on adventures like this ❤
What play food do you have
Great video! 👍
Thank you! 😀
Such an excellent video! These games look so fun - can't wait to try them! Thank you <3
Have fun trying them out Madeleine. 😀
So cute
Thank you! Our family and friends loved receiving them!
Thank you for the ideas! I’ve been trying to figure out challenging activities for my toddler that help to work on her motor skills.
So glad they were useful for you! 😀
wow. Iove those ideas.❤thanks
So glad they were helpful! 😀
OMG packers fan here too
Go Pack Go!!!
These are great simple ideas, thanks!
