- Peyton is 1 of only 6 people in the world known to have her diagnosis. When Peyton's family learned that she was Deaf they moved to a Deaf community so they could all better learn to communicate together. Now these four siblings connect with sign language and Peyton can spread joy to her sisters by telling jokes and offering candy.

I first met and interviewed Peyton in 2017... 5 years ago! This latest video was filmed just a few days ago. Thank you to everyone who continues to watch and support SBSK. You make it possible to maintain friendships with people across the world among many other things that would be impossible to list in a RUclips comment! Thank you!
Wow, she changed a lot! I'm so glad I can watch her second time.
How old is Peyton
Can you link the 1st interview here so we can find it ? Thank you for all you do
Thank you for being awesome! ☺
@@BrittneyM7777 you can find the interviews I've done with Peyton and her family over the years by searching "SBSK Peyton"
Can we talk about how incredible the mom is at interpreting? She captures her daughter's emotion in the inflection of her voice. What a beautiful family!!
She's really good ey.
YES!! It’s so so incredible.
I do not know asl only a couple basics but yes! I felt the same way and I hope peyton knows her mom loves her
I met them a few years ago at a Deaf convention. Very kind people!
yes her mom is great
You know you're getting old when you see the SBSK kids become teenagers. Great to see her doing so well!
Exactly my sentiment! I did not even recognize Peyton until she stated signing. Great to see her again!!!
right? it feels like just yesterday i was watching the video of her as a little kid
I know 😭😭😭
Seriously. I thought the first interview with Peyton was just a year or so ago. Though you really feel old when the kids are adults now with a family of their own.🫢
Don't grow old resist at all costs
Damn the the body language and look in the siblings' eyes... They look absolutely done
I would be too
yea i was thinking that too.. they look like they cant wait til they are 18. kinda sad. Hope it calms down some.
Yes, absolutely I sensed that from the get-go, siblings
not too fond of her to say the least. I found her to be profoundly rude to the siblings. Plus, she doesn’t seem to realize it or doesn’t care is dangerous.
You know, sign language isn't hard to pick up when you have a family member who needs to sign. I'm sure the siblings could have gone to a regular hearing school. Why make them attend a school for deaf students? The mother said they moved to a community where most of the people were deaf. They would have picked it up on their own, for sure. It's like, well, one of you has disabilities, so you will all be in the same boat, without a choice. And, also, I believe signing is a great skill to have for communication. But I wouldn't put my hearing kids into a deaf school because of one sibling. That seems odd.
@@Nan-Elle they must have been frustrated and And felt alone . Hard to make friends. They where they ones who where different
Her siblings look like they want to cry.
The sister in the purple shirt looked like she was getting so sad talking about being teased by her sister. Awh😔😥
I noticed that too, and I think also her brother looked quite sad and tired. Or maybe annoyed and fed up. He spoke about his anger. I think that her siblings also need to feel validated and loved, and they are teenagers so also they need their own space and peace.
@@CatherineDoII definitely.. she kept talking about annoying her siblings and just called it being sassy
Agreed.. seems like some things need tasked about and adjusted in their home so everyone is healthy and happy.
@@isabella7927 Agreed.
The look on her brothers face when she said she felt like he could protect her.
They should teach sign language in all schools, honestly.
They taught sign at a school where I worked as an interpreter for the Deaf. We were blessed to have a Deaf woman on staff. The kids loved learning sign language from her. The deaf kids appreciated it too.
I agree. I would have loved to have learned it in school.
TRUTH
Agreed
I was trying to learn sign language as my high school language because I have family who is deaf and i don't know sign language and they told me I can't take it because it isn't a language and it made me so mad because it is a language
Am I the only one who feels she gets away with being a bit mean to her siblings, and annoying them, due to her disability? I would really like to see if the siblings give it back to her, and if Peyton takes it OK, and if mum allows it.
Yea i feel like it was an important part of bonding with my brother. I teased him, he teased me back, sometimes we fought and got punished. Eventually learned this sucks for both of us and its better if we get along. We're friends now. If one sibling has free reign to tease and the other doesn't thats just gonna build resentment haha
Well Im a bully to my siblings..
@@jauume Just bcuz she special needs, doesn't mean she cant do all of this, Im rude to my brothers😂
@Sкıттlэ Снåп
Grow up & stop bullying them or you won’t have siblings who won’t want to have you in their lives when they’re older. You think it’s funny now until you don’t have relationships with them once you all are independent. My sibling was like you & I don’t talk to her anymore. I know MANY siblings who got tired of their siblings like you.
@@a.evelyn5498 Who asked
Poor siblings, I agree with the comments saying they are being marginalized. Their sister is allowed to be pushy and 'sassy', which is just another word for rude, and you can clearly see the unhappiness in their faces about her. Imagine being a child in a family that is only about one child, and that child isn't you.
I get this gut wrenching feeling that Peyton's older sister and brother shown here really don't like her, they feel somehow lesser than, especially the brother who says he takes his anger he feels towards his sister onto the football field. And the older sister, her eyes - the way she looks at Peyton. There is a LOT of anger and resentment there. It's sad to see. I hope they grow and at some point become not just "Peyton's older sibling" and try to find themselves. It will take time.
Beautifully said! I couldn’t agree more.
I can imagine they haven’t had much of a childhood because of her.
I feel bad for her siblings.
They live with a sassy villager
Que sabi vo malaya qla
Body language speaks 1000 words. My heart goes out to the siblings, Peyton is very fortunate to have such a caring mother and she will be just fine as she is not affected mentally but I do feel for her siblings for many reasons. They should also teach the dogs sign language, a lot of deaf dogs easily learn it so hearing dogs can learn it too. Would make it easier for Peyton to watch them.
im autistic and i genuinely cant tell if this is satire or not LMFAO
@@iwillregretthisuwu I was being serious but glad it made ya laugh 🤣🤣
Ze ziet er leuk uit,het enige,ze kan niet praten,maar ze doet gebarentaal
I never knew dogs could do sighn language.
@@iwillregretthisuwudogs can actually learn sign language or gestures instead of voice commands, and it’s usually VERY easy to teach!
Seems Chris may have been a bit tone deaf in this one. The siblings seem to be going through a rough patch and didn't have a lot of positive things to say about Peyton and Peyton seems oblivious to their frustrations and feelings. Their non-verbals screamed "oh great, another conversation about Peyton". While I'm sure it's difficult, I hope mom and dad are balancing the needs of the siblings as well.
How does that make him tone deaf? He can’t control the dynamic
@@lilballerina Tone deaf in maybe not having done the interview at the time...
Totally. Difficult to watch.
He feels awkward or not getting it and I think the rough patch is life long. It's extremely sad.
@@FLMegan I'm with you. These kids are very obviously tired of the dynamic in the household. This isn't a one off event, or a rough "patch." This family is tilted alllll the way towards Peyton and that makes me sad. Those kids deserve just as much love and attention.
the tension in this video made it really hard to watch tbh
I do feel an unhealthy dynamic is happening between Peyton and her siblings sadly. It was really hard to watch as someone who grew up with an abusive older sibling, especially since that person, unintentionally, put me in situations that made my childhood way harder. I hope the parents notice how Peyton's behavior isn't just "sassiness" and could be genuine bullying, even if it's meant as a coping mechanism. I'm so happy she feels confident in herself but it hurts to see other kids not have the same confidence around her. I don't know if it stems from Peyton, previous situations the family went through, or a number of other factors. But you don't have such a strong vibe of discomfort between siblings without something going on
At least you had "unintentionally". I had the opposite.
@@Nan-Elle it's not a contest
@walnut_raisin exactly
Agree totally, about her bullying her siblings. It's not fair to the siblings.
Agree!! It's sad to see. You'd think we would have empathy for Peyton, but I honestly felt empathy for her siblings.
Peyton is the center of this family. U can tell her needs come first. Just like them moving. I’m not trying to be mean, it’s just what I’m seeing. The siblings love & and have her back in public, but at home Peyton isn’t just sassy. She’s a bully. It’s a fine line between the 2 things. Peyton may be doing this as her way of control. She might be jealous bc she isn’t the “normal”. She was adorable when she was younger. Not saying she isn’t now, I just don’t like the way she is with her siblings.
I learned with my first child that things people do when their babies are not cute when they grow up. Peyton is out of control and mean I think the parents are very negligent of their other children and that's not right. This keeps up they're going to resent her and be gone
With all do respect to Peyton, I was thinking that too. However, I think that there’s more to the story and we are only seeing a small glimpse of the whole picture. She is a young teenager and we all remember that awkward time in our lives. However, she also has a disability and a very rare syndrome of some sort and has had to put up with people treating her differently or staring at her, making faces, etc… When you grow up with that, you can put on this tough shell, so to speak. Peyton takes no BS and she seems to be quite outspoken about it. Teasing her brother and sisters may be a coping mechanism for her, especially when she is teased by others.
I have some understanding of what Peyton has gone through. I have a very rare syndrome myself and I’m hard of hearing. There were bullies and a ton of low self esteem that I still struggle with today and I’m 38 years old. However, I never thought about being mean to others, especially my family. Sure we teased each other like most siblings do but to purposely tease them until they were angry or practically in tears, no, to me that crosses the line. But at the same time I can see where Peyton is coming from. However, she needs to be taught better ways to cope with her disability.
Seems like they walk on glass with her and did not pay much attention to their other kids. All of them have severe lisps, that is an speech impediment. I feel for her siblings, especially Brock, he seems like a kind kid who loves her sister, but feels that he does not get any attention and would feel guilty to express that.
@@jaimiehex9420 I agree, I am surprised that some/all of the hearing kids went to all-deaf schools. I absolutely believe that family members of Deaf people should learn sign language, but that just seems unfair to them and their development.
@@jaimiehex9420 yeah what is up with that? no one in the comments section asked about the siblings severe lisps nor did they mention a single word about it in the video. i don't understand. the only thing I can think of is that all the immersion in the deaf community and deaf schools caused their severe lisps. they spent too much of their time signing and not enough time talking in the outside world. it's like how people from France move to the US and forget french. am i wrong? can someone please tell me why they all have those severe lips??
I think Peyton needs to be kinder to her siblings. It seems like she’s allowed to treat them any way she wants and they are forced to endure it. Just because one child has special needs doesn’t mean the others should be targets of her bullying and her making them targets of social ostracism because of her overly-demonstrative “sass” as she puts it. I was subject to this kind of treatment by a special needs sibling and it’s not okay. They all carry a profound sense of defeat and it’s apparent.
I agree, i wish more people in the comments section would observe this
Yes, I agree with you 100%. My grandma had a brother who was mentally challenged, and she took care of him after their parents passed away.. Although she expected him to do what he was capable of. She made him help milk the cow and other chores when they were children. He was my sweetest and most favorite uncle. This girl might have special needs, but she just seems snotty and mean!
None of it has to do with being “special needs” it’s just sibling rivalry.
I agree, everyone says that she annoys them and makes them angry and they look how uncomfortable they are around her, no matter how positive the interview tries to seem, it is very evident, she is mentally capable and should be aware of it, treat his brothers in a friendly way, always sure that their attitude would be different and they would all be invested in it with a lot of love.
@@nul3017 bru these people stg they never had siblings
You can def tell the sibling relationships are strained. Hopefully that can improve as they grow..
No, we were born to take care of our siblings... and always being in second place...
@@SarahLynn__ No. No child is born to take care of another child. That's the parents' responsibility.
@@Stopthisrightnow560 Lol, obviously but tell that to some parents not to me.
@@Stopthisrightnow560 I would say both of you are correct.
Yes, it's the parents' responsibility. But it's our duty to take care of our older and younger siblings.
They help us grow and help them grow also.
@ThePmso
You are talking about what SHOULD be, not WHAT IS. Many parents do use their children as caretakers for another child(ren). Then those children have no childhood.
Please don't criticize the siblings or ask of them to be nicer or more patient. You know that the mom had to prioritize Payton a lot before the others and herself, so they often got the short end of the stick. They stick up for her when she gets bullied. They had to grow up real fast. And it's probably hard to create healthy boundaries with a disabled sibling. Lots of love to them in particular.
amen
I agree! I grew up with a disabled sibling so when i see the siblings in these videos i always empathize with them
@@AnaandTheBooks yep. A lot of people don’t realize how hard it is to be a sib sometimes.
yeah, people tend to forget the siblings. a child with disabilities always needs accommodation and attention, that's not a bad thing, and often not something that can be changed. but it can still be tough on siblings, especially when there's 4 children, getting undivided attention can be hard
Plus, all siblings act like that, deaf or not
As a sister to someone who is special needs, it would have made a world of difference if my mom had not prioritized my sibling so high above me. I can tell clear as day that's happening here with Peyton's siblings and it is on the parents to find that balance. Its so hard living with a disability but frankly the issue of being the "other kid" is one we rarely talk about. The frustration on her siblings faces shot me right back to my childhood. Its traumatizing honestly... Its like "oh well your normal, you don't have to struggle with the disability so you don't need extra attention" when in reality you need just as much love an attention as any other child. I know its not easy being a parent to a special needs child, but it is part of the burden you accept when you become a parent. Learning how to balance all your children's needs is paramount and it doesn't look like this family is doing well in that regard at this point. I really hope that changes.
I know this is so late, but you're correct. I'm sorry for what you had to go through and I hope things are going well.
I went through something similar. My sister has Down syndrome. My parents - they were mostly good. However, I did felt growing up that they didnt put me much attention to me as they did to her. Besides, she was very rude to me, and my parents were Ok with it because she is disabled and I am not. On the long run, I think it affected our relationship for the worse, we dont have much of a relationship nowadays. I bet things would have been different if my parents acted differently. But oh well...
agreed
Your comment made me feel extra better about my choice of not giving my special needs child a sibling. I can't imagine having to referee or made one child feel less than the other.
Skill issue
It is clearly visible that the siblings are very uncomfortable with Peyton.
Watching the video was hard, you can feel the tension in the family. I think it’s good that Chris showed this side of having a family member with a disability/ disorder/ a sort of diagnoses. A lot of families go though this phase before reaching balance. I can only imagine how hard it’s for her siblings to go to deaf school…I feel that they hold a lot of resentment towards her probably for lots of reasons. I really hope they get the proper help so each family member can get their deserved place in the family.
@Lucile She refers to brothers who study in an exclusive school for the deaf and who also need to develop their social skills, which are different from their sister, so they should not be deprived of developing their social skills to express themselves through speech. It must be hard to be deprived of the conversation and have the speech stifled.
@@lucile4650 Still, there is nothing wrong with some professional counseling now and then in order to keep those healthy family dynamics strong and sustainable. Afterall, this family will continue to have ongoing challenges. It's good to have help going thru challenges.
I don't know Peyton's life expectancy with all of her health issues, but she appears to have such an alert and robust mind. I'd like to see her really go for it! Achieve higher education, credentials if time and circumstances allow.
I feel due to her condition she seems spoiled. I wouldn't put up with her teasing her sister the way she does and making her mad just for fun and she thinks it's funny.
You could see the frustration in their faces. I wouldn't tolerate that behavior from any kid, disabled or not. I'd take her stuff infront of her and then tease her and make her mad and see how she likes that.
That's not a healthy way to seek attention.
@@aqua6613 That's why it's good for them to have family counseling along the way to help Peyton's family to cope with the changes Peyton will go thru along the way and especially to guide Peyton to better, healthier ways to communicate her feelings, and to be a responsible family member who can give back by being loving and supportive without loosing her sense of humor which comes to her naturally. A family social worker can help her find that happy balance.
Her being deaf does not allow her to bully her siblings. Shame on her and her parents. Period.
why are you judging the worlds rarest teenager
She's not bullying just being a bratty teenager that's good she's that bright and healthy she could a lot worse have you ever been to a special-needs Institution?
THANK YOU! What I’ve been saying. People are so love bombed by this mess.
@@magiccheeseballNo she’s literally bullying them.
@@dirtysploof5890😂😂😂😂
I feel like this family would benefit from seeing a therapist if they aren't already. All of them individually, but then together as a family. I see a lot of frustration from the siblings and Peyton is seeking connection with them but with the wrong ways/attitude and isn't very concious of how they are feeling or maybe in general. She is a tough girl. But perhaps overly so and that might hold her back in ways, especially emotionally and with getting closer to others. I am not trying to be judgmental, just being observant. And I also could of course be totally off about it. I'm not in their family, nor have I spent time with them, so none of what I'm saying is with ill intentions! I see a lonely and angry girl and siblings who are exhausted and over their sister running the household and being the center. They seem to put up with her "sassiness" and I think the word sassy is an excuse and dismissal for/of her behavior/feelings and absolutely not a "personality trait" or "just who she is". Sorry, but I had to be honest with my opinion. I think she loves her family and I believe her family loves her, I just think it would help them all with handling treir emotions and communicating them more often and honestly and feeling seen and heard equally. I think they are a great family and have done a great job, I just also think having a great psychologist is helpful for anybody and everybody! I think Peyton is one very strong young girl!
I kind of got that vibe too but didn't know exactly how to put it into words for fear of coming off angry or accusatory, but you did such a great job. I agree completely!
Agreed
I also noticed that. How do people not see the body language of the siblings, it's very clear there is something going on.
i agree
I noticed everyone in the family shown crosses their arms in front of them. That's generally a sign of distancing yourself. Peyton does it too. The siblings look as if they don't enjoy what's going on. Perhaps because a special needs kid necessarily gets the most attention in the family.
Idk what's behind it, but there's definitely difficulties there.
I hope Peyton can learn some better coping skills. Her future will be much happier if she doesn't anger those who care for her. Because she is a good communicator she should put her skills to use in a more positive way.
I was thinking the same thing... actualy feel a little bad for the sisters and brother at the recieving end
@Crazy Mai same. They may not want ro be around her as adults.
She's 14yo for God's sake.
@@whychoooseausername4763 but still, at 14 you have a general idea of what’s right and wrong. She’s still a kid she who can expect her to act grown? But at 14 you should try and think about how your actions and attitude effects others
@Snippet X Yes. . . when Chris asked "How do you feel when she makes you mad and then laughs?" Brock said, "I just walk away" -- but with an undertone of sadness and resentment that may keep him (and the other siblings) away when they're all adults and don't HAVE to spend time with her. I know teens fight as siblings, I certainly did too; but if the parents prioritize one teen over the others, that's going to cause resentment when they're adults, which won't help any of them, least of all Peyton, who seems to be allowed to bully the others with impunity.
Of course, this is just one video, I don't know any of them personally, and I'm adopted, which is a whole nother thing too. However, I'm forever grateful my parents never prioritized one child over another, even though I've had medical issues since I was born. I don't think we'd be as close, as a family, if my parents had encouraged me to use "sassiness" to bully everyone else in the family merely because I was born with a harder physical reality.
It's impossible to ignore the real exhaustion evident in the siblings.
Being sent to a deaf school when you have no hearing issues, while in some ways a lovely thing to do for Peyton, will possibly be a potential cause of resentment for the siblings.
You do get a sense that they're tired of all the focus being on Peyton - even extending to her seemingly getting away with bad behaviour, or 'sassiness'.
It's really tough to balance the needs of all three children, and clearly they're doing an incredible job. But I can't help feeling like some therapy could be useful for the siblings and certainly could help ensure they remain close as they grow up.
Not judging the family at all - just an observation.
Yea group therapy is absolutely necessary in this situation, I hope they're all getting it. But if you have deaf siblings you simply all have to learn sign language period. Luck of the draw. I agree with the mom about full communication in a family being necessary. However "full communication" doesn't just mean that can literally all communicate, it also means they can understand and express their true feelings toward one another... otherwise the "full communication" idea is pointless. And that requires therapy.
Yeah I felt bad for the brother and little sister kinda sitting awkwardly while talking about being bullied even though they stand up for her when it's needed.
She sounds like she might calm down when she's not a teen but it's still evident she's the queen of the house and I feel a bit bad for her siblings.
I'm surprised they were sent to an all Deaf school, that seems just as harmful as sending Deaf kids to a hearing school tbh, but who knows. :/
I agree. I don't think that was fair to the brother. The little sister is almost painful to watch. I feel for both of them.
You can see their faces when she's joyfully tell how she's playing with their emotions. It's a lot of pain and frustration. And you can hear in mother's voice that she thinks it's normal.
@@itstoogooditswaytoogood3211 I don't agree at all.
🙄
I think their parents made the right decision.
Peyton is the one who has a handicap, she obviously needs "extra" attention.
Seeing how frustrated and annoyed her siblings are make me glad that my parents made sure that my special needs brother was given appropriate discipline and that he wasn’t able to use his disability as an excuse for that sort of behaviour
From the siblings' body language, it looks like the wish Peyton would get gone. They don't seem to like her very much. They have had to accommodate her... A LOT.
As someone who grew up with a disabled brother who was repeatedly allowed to ostracize and bully me, I am absolutely shocked that no one realizes the toll this is having on the siblings. If I even tried to stand up for myself I would get punished, reassured of how bad of a person I was, and labeled a troublemaker. It got to the point where I stayed in my room and read books for years of my life, as that was my only peace and escape. I grew to resent my brother and my parents, and as a grown adult I still do. Shame on the parents for not doing something about this, and shame on all of you that are enabling this girls behavior.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, and I understand how you feel. Dealing with a special needs family member can be challenging, especially when there are differences in how parents handle the situation. It's important for your family to find a solution that works best for everyone, and I hope your mom can achieve the separation she's seeking to ensure the best care for your brother. If you ever need to talk or have questions, feel free to reach out.
I'm disabled an me an NY bro get along great. You gotta forgive your people's. They ain't always gonna be here. I mean I don't know your situation or anything but me an my bro have done some screwed up stuff to eavlchother. But you gotta forgive. If not for them do it for yourself .
@@dustygatrell-ru7tg that might not be as easy as you think
Peyton is a bit of a prima dona to her family. I can see where she is hurt by the reactions of others outside her home, but I hope she can learn to control her temper with her siblings. Friends may come and go, but siblings are forever. I hope that the sibs can hold each other close with love and support and drop all the mean teasing.
Could just be because she's a young teen, I remember being temperamental at this age. she seems completely normal to me in the way she expresses herself
She’s coming across as a total terror.
She's just a teenager!. And they love each other what is seen especially when the sister is saying that she needs Peyton when she's sad 💓
I can tell by the looks on the siblings face that this girl is a handful, special needs or not.
Yeah, they seem to be quite tired. Peyton is really cool and witty but she needs to stop annoying her siblings so much. Also they need their own space and peace, like herself.
Totally agree, sure teens can be a handful but her siblings look exhausted by her and i dont think its shyness at all. I don't want to assume but I would think she monopolizes most of attention, all the way to where they live and how they communicate. It's not entirely fair and they may crave just as much attention.
She’s definitely hard work. They probably feel forgotten and stressed out
having a disability is a lot of stress and frustration for both the person concerned and the people around her. it's not easy on anyone. i don't know them but i don't think Peyton is just an annoying teenager. she struggles a lot, and doesn't always cope the right way. it's probably hard for her too.
@@smollilbean i agree that it's not easy for the siblings
Seems pretty apparent that this girl is having a hard time accepting her reality and is not only actively taking it out on her family but being allowed to do so. It's unfortunate because what should be her primary support group, her siblings, they're going to get far away from her as quick as they are old enough. This girl needs some tough love from her parents before it irrevocably splits the family apart.
Those poor kids. You can tell they have so much built up rage and resentment and rightfully so.
rightfully? you're nuts
well Peyton keeps teasing them and they HAVE to got to a deaf school? That's rightfully so, at least rage and resentment towards the parents@@spitgorge2021
@pitgorge2021 they are allowed to feel rage and resentment. Those kids clearly feel left out. Just because you're disabled doesn't give you the right to act like a jerk.
I hope her siblings have a good support system
Peyton might not have intentionally taught me these two words, but now I know how to say 'sassy' and 'always' in sign language :D Nice to see an update, too!
Also, the word yes
I recognized the word “use”!
I learned "grumpy" lmao
@@alext9760 Me too! It looks kind of like “mad”.
i’m learning sign and i reccognized “nice” and was very proud of myself
Her Brother and Sister rock! They do look worn out! Bullying is not ok, just because you are handicapped, neither are mean pranks. She is blessed to have such loving sibs. On the other hand, Peyton is wrong - she has beautiful hair and eyes, great complexion and cute build. She is smart. It is all about working your best assets! Blessings to this family, and kudos to Mom.
Worn out is the perfect description of her siblings.
honestly she DOES have nice features and im not just saying that to be nice
Omg, never say “sibs” again lol.
I agree with your comment but when you said built good the classic TCAP phrase "I'm cute though, built good" came to mind.
kudos to mom for sending healthy children into a school for disabled? she has probably ruined their chance at a normal life. imagine going to school and never being able to talk to someone casually
Chris, I have to thank you for inspiring me to become a geneticist around 5-6 years ago. Today I am working with doctors in the department of children's neurology and rare diseases, trying to do my best to figure out the genetic causes behind different kinds of inherited conditions that these kids have. I don't see the children myself, since I only work with their genetic data, but your show lets me see a lot of the same conditions I work with every day and it reminds me that every one of those case numbers has a story and a name behind them. And I'm doing all I can to make both their life and their families lives easier.
Thank you, Chris and SBSK.
I absolutely love that. I wanted to become a genetic counselor (my daughter has Down syndrome) and I am just very inspired and intrigued by all of these genetic variances...ie genetic diversity. Unfortunately, when I applied I was not getting the support or needed information to go though with the program thanks to the university I applied to. Maybe someday, I will continue on that journey. Good luck to you, you will do wonders!
That’s so awesome!!
That’s amazing and thank you, we need more people like you. I am in the process doc getting diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome at nearly 30 and I’m so frustrated that so many genetic disorder are so poorly understood or not heard of, missed or not screened for at all
That’s awesome! Have you heard of Pfeiffer syndrome or met any kids who have the syndrome? It’s a rare one too. Effective 1 in 100,000 births and less than 85,000 worldwide have it. Which is still a lot of people but not in comparison to the almost 8 billion in the world population.😊
@@SobrietyandSolaceYup, same here.
The body language of the siblings is strong!
Sure is.
Her siblings are awesome. I hope they find their own individual peace outside of their family and home life.
Peyton is going to make 0 real friends with her attitude
Pero que les pasa! Que esperan que sea una víctima que la vean con pena, ella tiene carácter,se ve que pone en su sitio a gente burlona,está muy bien eso,yo la aplaudo,y claro que sí haría amistades,yo si sería su amiga
Her siblings seem very annoyed being honest and not even in a silly way.
Yeah, they seem to be tired and fed up. Her brother spoke about his anger. They are teenagers so they need to feel validated and loved too, and also they need their own space and peace. I feel a bit bad for them. :(
All kids are self-centered.
I agree. I feel sorry for them.
@@msprincessangel12 no. This is not normal teenager individualist behavior, they clearly seem tired and annoyed in her presence like ffs they got enrolled in a deaf school bc of her lol
The mom let’s it happen. Poor kids, she is annoying.
God, im sorry but i really feel for those siblings i wouldnt want to be around her either! I was bullied in 1st grade by a special needs boy and because he was special needs he got away with it and i was the one told off. Hated him for it, a lot of resentment. Even in high school i hated that people were nice to him and acted like he was the coolest kid in school because he wasnt, treat special needs kids like normal kids because if not theyll be spoiled bullies who can get away with it (sometimes). Also its just good in general to treat them normal, they still are intelligent they understand.
I hope those siblings help each other out.
That brother looks soooo uncomfortable. He’d rather be anywhere else.
The siblings faces and body languages throughout this🥺😭
I know Peyton is in her teenage years. But I hope she outgrows being so mean and “snappy”. This world is already a tough place. People will look at her anyway, and yes, she looks a little different. But if she grows to accept that people are inquisitive it will be a bit easier on her. And also, be nice to your siblings. They are in your corner. Treat them as such!
I think it's healthy that she's like that it's normal for a teenager to be bratty
@@magiccheeseballno it isn’t
@@magiccheeseballno it isn't. Her siblings look fed up. You don't get to be mean because you have a disability and need a coping mechanism.
Her siblings look mostly pissed at her, especially the brother. She needs to learn to cope better and not be annoying and "sassy."
She's grown into a beautiful teen now. And those things which Peyton hates about her mom, I guess we all have moms with the same trait.
I know. Those reasons were such a typical teen response. I had the same complaints about my mom too. 😂
That part in the video made me laugh
Not having a mom with those traits would be something to be sad about. :)
I've been a teenager, I raised two girls through their teens, now I'm seeing my two teen granddaughters through that faze.😆 In some ways we're all alike. 😁
Ну это ваше личное суждение Девочка не красивая у нее деформировано лицо Скорее всего была заячья губа а возможно и волчья пасть
Her brother and her sisters looked so fed up with her.
We can hope that the family might’ve seen these comments and are making adjustments and maybe Peyton is maturing and realizing there’s a really fine line between sass and straight up rudeness, and maybe there can be new norms and expectations put into place for how the siblings treat each other. Yes rude teenagers/terrible sibling dynamics are common but it doesn’t make it right or acceptable, no matter the situation.
you know 100% she looked at it and ignored all of them because she was taught she is superior to everyone else for being special needs
Moving to a deaf community and putting your hearing kids in a deaf school just because one of your children is deaf is an… unusual choice.
Their oldest was only 4 when he went to the deaf school and he picked it up within a year, so it's not like it was some life-ruining change during his teenage years. Seems like a solid way to immerse a kid while their brain is still really spongy so they can learn without having to put in much effort.
Just say you're ableist and go.
Not really...the siblings look annoyed and it's sad for Peyton.
@@calliemahrer8867 No, it's not ableism. Ruining the lives of three just for one person is very unfair.
@@Odd-Vegan-Singing-TFOL nobody is "ruining" their lives. You are being absolutely, disgustingly, embarrassingly ableist.
I work in a Deaf school and 90% of our families don’t learn sign language. I wish all of our families were like you! Thank you for doing the best possible thing for your daughter. Also- Peyton is an SBSK fave of mine! So glad to see her again.
I don’t understand that. If you don’t learn sign language and you have a deaf child you create a language barrier. I would want to be able to communicate with my child in the most effective way. I think not learning sign language would be a huge disadvantage for the child and family since that is the child’s MAIN source of communication.
Wait what? How do they communicate with their child/sibling? If my child was deaf I'd make everyone in the extended family learn to sign!
I am also really interested about how they even have a relationship with your child without learning it... I think learning it would be hard af but that's your child and unless you are seriously disabled and can't why? Are narc parents really that common? Because I'm assuming a big portion of that 90 percent COULD learn if they really tried.
I heard something like less than 10% of parents with a deaf child learn ASL. That’s just appalling to me.
That's SHOCKING to me. I can't fathom not wanting to speak your own child's language.
She needs to be nicer to her siblings though. You can tell she puts them through a lot.
Okay, I am so sorry that Peyton has so many issues HOWEVER she is running her family ragged and she is being allowed to do it. Her siblings are coming a distant second to her. Her Mother needs to go to parenting classes and then therapy for everyone!
Easy for you to say. She's a mom taking care of 4 kids on her own. On top of having a disabled kid on top of it. That's gotta be hard.
@@dustygatrell-ru7tg hard yes, impossible to treat them all the same? no...special need's people do deserve support, but you can't have such a harsh power dynamic between them. She deserves support, absolutely. If that means she gets to stand on a pedestal over people, that's not support. That's gonna make her into a person who can't make friends, all cause the mom lets her have that power. "sassy" isn't funny when everyone only looks at you with side eye's.
Definitely underlying resentment from the siblings…this family needs to take the “annoyances” they’ve expressed as something more serious honestly. From the sibling’s perspective, I can see where it comes from considering everything revolving Peyton usually takes priority, even having to move to the deaf community. It doesn’t help either that Peytons attitude and relationship with them is not the greatest to put it lightly.😬 Her declaring she’s the “sassiest” proudly like that shouldn’t be seen as a good thing, disability or not. I’d pay attention before relationships between siblings become more strained as they get older.
Yes....
Watching this video, it is so sad. They want to say something but don't. Wondering if Chris ever caught on.
Sassiness = brattiness
That girl was a total brat, yet no one will do anything because of her disability. And she doesn't even have a mental disability, so you can't use that as an excuse.
LOVE Peyton’s haircut, nails and fashion sense. So great to see her expressing herself! She’s growing into a sassy, wonderful young lady💜
I know right!!!
Absolutely!
So incredibly sassy lol
There’s nothing wonderful about her bullying her siblings. Don’t encourage this type of behavior lol
@@BabyMango They pick on her as much as she picks on them! You watch one video and you act like you know what goes on with them 24/7! Im gonna say that it aint right for you to bully her behind your keyboard!
Peyton is beautiful and smart, but I hope that she grows more empathy, cause the "sassiness" makes her siblings to grow resentment. If she is interested in close relationships with them in the future, it is about the time. :-) Jokes are funny, when both sides laugh. An illness or handicap is not an excuse for sassy behavior. All sibling's body language looks like they all have enough already (closed arms, facial expressions, tightly closed mouth, like they are mad but trying not to speak out...).
She seems kinda toxic towards her family tbh
I agree with you!
I was going to say the exact same she must be going throug a lot especially as a teenager in this time i am sure she love her siblings dearly but she gonna need her mom to make her learn and respect the boundaries of others
i know how they feel. i’ve had to be around people i can’t stand a lot before, and i can feel the anger coming from them
She's 14
It looks like the whole family has adjusted to Peyton's world. I think its time now for her to adjust to the real world because that's what she will be living in sooner or later. I can see the other kids moving out and moving on with their lives as soon as they are old enough. Mom needs to realize she has not given the sibling's a normal childhood and they resent it.
I find it interesting that all 3 of her siblings have a bit of a speech impediment. I wonder if it’s from being forced into a deaf community and deaf school at such young age, where they weren’t exposed to spoken language as much as other kids. Just a theory.
I noticed the same thing
I was wondering the same thing
I noticed it too. As a mom with 3 kids who received speech therapy, these kids' speech issues would have been addressed in school if they'd been attending a regular school. Kids are referred to & screened by speech therapists if teachers have concerns about any articulation issues or language delays.
A *game* theory
What are you even talking about? There's no speech impediments going on.
It would seem like she needs possible Therapy for her tantrums and mood swing in my Opinion. I have watched this channel for many years, I can see slight distress that she may be causing the family by no fault of her own except not having the right tools. I would get her into some kind of adaptive sports or classes on anger. It looks like everyone is on edge around her including the mother.
They don't look and don't sound comfortable with her.
I like the fact that Chris lets people speak and express themselves, but it feels like he should have dug deeper in how the siblings feel and having a better view of the family dynamic. Also asking the mom how she feels about that and how she responds to the conflictual relation between them. As people say in the comments we don't really know if she makes any effort to give as much attention to the siblings as they do with Peyton. Really interesting interview non the less
I think that these types of film makers can't go in telling people that they have a dysfunctional family and asking about their parenting and asking children how they really feel. They spend time with the people and film a lot then edit it to show people who can see it. All the clues are there. The mother was there when the children where talking about their relationship. It was the mother who told of Peyton's manipulation. We see Peyton's joy about upsetting her siblings and her view that she's top in the family. The makers could have manipulated the film, but it's not really that type of channel. They're more likely to have manipulated it to make them look better than worse. Their viewers like the stories of overcoming adversity. Many wouldn't want to watch about people like these ones.
I noticed right off the bat how uncomfortable her siblings felt by the way that she is treating them and they don’t seem to feel as appreciated with all the attention that she gets because of her disability I think her mother and father need to step up and make her follow love and respect just like the rest of the family you don’t get a pass because you have a disability
She is so expressive! I love it! I’m a nurse, and I really want to learn sign language especially for healthcare providers. I think there is such a need for that.
Do it...
The siblings do not like Peyton. No wonder. She runs the house. They have raised a narcissist.
Seems the whole family are going through rough teenage times. Love how the mum is so calm and attentive.
She's doting on her though clearly. And at the detriment of the siblings' happiness.
Attentive? That woman has the emotional insight of a door knob!
It might be calm, but not attentive, I assure you, I also have a special needs brother.
Her brother looked sooooooo fed up man she needs to chill
This girl does an amazing job expressing her intelligence without saying a word. Great family too! Wishing her the best and hope to see her again in another 5 years
I mean technically she is speaking, just in a different language :) but I agree with you
she is technically saying words just with her hands not with her mouth.
But we don't say "speaking" we say "signing" to differentiate signed speech from spoken speech.
What a spoil little girl, I felt so sorry for her brother and sister
Peyton needs to learn how to be nicer to her siblings
All of the siblings look annoyed with her. I wonder what isn't being said for the cameras
That's an understatement they look like they're completely over it lol
They might just have an annoyed looking resting face
@@finrise4865 Brock literally says around 5:10 that he's annoyed
@@kasey7638 Yeah because she was doing the noises she does to annoy him
@@finrise4865 yeah and it’s probably a common occurrence that hes getting fed up with. you can tell by his body language through the whole video…
I hope she sees the messages and understands that her frustrations and anger should not be taken out on her siblings. They look like they hold back on saying things to not hurt her feelings. Just because someone has disabilities doesn’t mean they should take their frustrations on others. Love your family and enjoy them because you never know what can happen.
I have watched this video and her first one, I love how confident she is! But I can't ignore the looks on her siblings faces, especially her brother
They’re going to grow up resenting their sister and distance themselves…being a glass child isn’t easy
I grew up with a best friend that had a deaf sister. They all hated her. She was super mean just like Peyton. Parents allowed it just like Peyton’s. Sad really.
None of the siblings look like they are excited to be on the air and questioned. Way too much energy is devoted to making sure Peyton is happy. It’s like the rest of the kids don’t matter.
The fact that her mom became fluent and moved just to be able to communicate fully with her. Same with her siblings. That's beautiful.
I can't tell if i just don't like teenagers or if she is super rude to her siblings.
She’s very rude to them
What kind of question is that 😂😂😂. Does having a sister like Payton make you a better football player 💀💀🤦♂️🤦♂️ 2:24
Lol. Yeah.
Yeah, i hit the ball a lot harder. The anger in me really helps me to be competitive.
That's not sassiness. The whole family needs intervention to give the other kids and the mother support to establish boundaries.
Precisely that! All the kids are struggling and it is not a thing that just goes away on itself 😢
Looks like bullying
Very painful to watch. 5:00 Peyton demonstrates how she annoys Brock. That look of his... After that, look at Kenzie her expressions and then 5:57 'Yeah whatever'.
The mother sees and hears it all but is oblivious to Peyton getting in her siblings' hair? People with disabilities can act awful, just like anyone. Her mother has to straighten Peyton out, for her own and her siblings' sake.
I feel sorry for the siblings .... I don't see close sibling relationships when they are adults.
Her siblings look kinda beat up.. Even though she has a diagnosis it's still kinda sad to hear that she teases her siblings I mean lots do, but in this case her siblings don't like it. She's definitely the favorite child.. :(((( and the mom is a great interpreter
I don’t understand why the family doesn’t sign the whole time they talk? But I also agree with the others on how “over” the other siblings are on Payton being the center of attention. Having so much focus on one child causes issues in any family
Don't know about other people's experiences, but I'm from a bilingual family (farsi and english), and it really depends on what language is being spoken to you. If someone talks to me in farsi, I respond in farsi without thinking. If someone talks in english, I respond in english. As for the other siblings, they're all teens and payton is 14, aka the absolute peak of being annoying. I have a 14 year old brother who's fully abled and he's just like her, but arguably worse because of teenage angst. They'll all grow out of it
“Simcom” isn’t ideal. When we verbally speak our signs become jumbled and we revert to signing the way we talk verbally
I know Peyton must feel alone, but her family must as well. Her :voice" seems to be being heard, but her brother and sisters don't have that
Ok payton is deaf but i mean, she is normal after that, she can be jyst educated to respect her siblings
She was cute before ...but the behavior needs to be put in check now...i feel bad for the siblings
I agree. She is able to get away with bad behavior it seems and the siblings have negative body language with her
Seem like watching this… peyton is only pushing away those who care the most. And that sucks in end . Mom doesn’t even correct actions to point its just a normal behavior and its okay.. its just Peyton being Peyton… type of vibe…..witch is not right. Poor siblings
She looks so cool doing sign language... almost like she's dancing! I can really get a sense of her personality from her signing, she has a rhythm to it which makes it almost hypnotic ✌️💕
@skybee001 - Yes! I agree.
YES!
She is not a nice person she picks on her siblings for no reason
@@v1a7 haha like most siblings 😂 🤣
@@skybee001 not at the abundance she does I’ll admite my siblings like to bother me since I’m the oldest but you can see she does it way more intensely also if you saw the siblings looked really tired and stressed and look unhappy beside her
I met Peyton once at a summer deaf/HOH camp! She was friendly and definitely sassy lol. We also liked Harry Potter and we had fun during camp activities. Surprised to see her on RUclips but glad to see she’s doing good! :)
She’s not friendly she bullies her siblings

Agreed mate
You can tell Peyton is being more than sassy. Now I get why she need to be prioritized. But it seems her family prioritized her than the others. The brother HAD to learn sign language in order to pass school...
Something so affirming about Peyton's laughter. For starters it's a really sweet laugh, but also, I love that someone who's never even heard laughter still laughs so clearly and purely. Like how blind people smile without ever seeing smiles. It's just beautiful to know that these things aren't taught but are a part of human nature.
I love your comment.
blind people usually have touched smiles of other people, and have touched their own face. they also can hear when someone is happy or not, and thus learn that you smile when you are happy. cool how people can learn similar behaviours in vastly different ways.
The brain knows how to compensate.
She’s not sweet she bullies her siblings knowing that she’ll get away with it because of her disability
@@v1a7Why have you trolled so many comments? You are quite bullying.
Wow this was reaaaally uncomfortable to watch, her siblings seemed fed up with her.
I love this but the other siblings don't seemed pleased at all
“Does having a sister like Peyton make you a better football player ? “ lol her brothers face of absolute disgust , what kind of question is that 😂his interest/passion have nothing to do with his sister .
It breaks my heart when the mom said "were use to it" us as a society shouldn't be so judgemental and cruel. Nobody should have to get use to being bullied, picked on, or judged. Humanity is lost thats for sure.
What a beautiful family
It’s really nice to see these follow-on interviews, but it also hits home that their difficult lives continued, while we got to return to our own reality. The strength of these kids, their parents, and their siblings is truly impressive.
Her brothers and sisters are awesome and I’m sure when she’s out of her teenage years she’ll appreciate it so much 😊
I hope so !
That will only happen when they don't live together with their parents, who are taking advantage of the situation.
I think they will move out as soon as they can to get away frim her.
My heart goes out to Peyton. I believe that if she were not so sassy, her life would change for the better. I can see the conflict in the faces of her siblings. I can only imagine the reaction from the public when she sign's "turn around and go away." Maddie and Bess are prime examples of how to invite people into your life. I would recommend that Peyton watch those videos for a better understanding of what works and what doesn't work in relationships.
Her nails look so cool when she signs!
🤟
Moving to a Deaf community was such an awesome thing to do for your whole family, not just Peyton. I feel like everyone would benefit from learning a sign language. (I'm CODA)
Also my sibling's nickname when we were little was Sassy XD
Yea it's such a devoted thing to do for your child
@WAKING UP TOGETHER child of a deaf adult
(Ahh! This turned out long! Sorry!!) 200%. My uncle lost his hearing at 1 due to I believe meningitis (this was right before the meningitis vaccine was introduced) and the only way he wouldnt die was a treatment that would 100% no doubt make him deaf. Not a hard choice. My grandmother would drive this one out of her 5 kids to a school for the deaf completely across Houston, to speech therapy, to classes to learn with him, etc.
Then he met his wife who has a hereditary disease that my cousin got. So whereas my uncle doesn't remember speech, my aunt does and my cousin can still hear when a room is silent and I'm talking to her. Her brother, nor his child, seem to have inherited though. But that one little introduction for my uncle created a new community, a new family, and now his son is growing up in more of a deaf community so he can understand his grandparents and aunt. It's really awesome to see what they can use to include all.
I wish where I live in NY did that. We are hours above NYC though where across from me is a farm, so even sending me to a cheap private school (too many hard drugs and even some gangs in my public schools in the 90s) was a good hour drive and had very few options. I keep telling myself to learn, but just fail at following through.
I feel it wasn’t fair to the other children
I would love to be able to have an interview with Chris. I have Autoimmune Hepatitis which led to having cirrhosis of the liver. At 25 years old, everyone expects me to have boundless energy, and no one understands why Im so tired all the time. An invisible disability is a blessing and a curse, and Chris is so good at handling these topics with grace. Thank you for all you do SBSK.
I really hope he sees this and you get that interview!
I'm commenting because every like and reply pushes this up in the algorithm. PLEASE LIKE AND REPLY, EVERYONE, IF YOU AGREE ❤
I also have an invisible disability, and too few people understand what it's like. "But you LOOK so healthy!" 🤦🏾♀️
@@zxyatiywariii8 Thanks sis, and good luck. I hope things stay the best they can for as long as they can for you.

The kids don't seem very happy except for Peyton. I hope they are happy and they are doing well.
