    Tyler, you did right in not allowing Dave to go out at 9pm... You see, that's what he was accustomed to in his old environment and it will take time for him to adjust to his new environment. Keep at it my friend, one day you will feel proud about your efforts. He needs a structured life in order to progress. Have a happy weekend.

      Perfectly said! It is an adjustment for all I am sure, as a parent it is always easier to say “yes” however, that is not always the best response. No takes more effort, and structure but will pay off in the long run.

    Hi Tyler and Sonia, I am a new subscriber however I have been watching for a few months. I am so pleased to see the work that Tyler is doing with the children so i decided to become a subscriber. I am very impressed to see the effort he is putting in to mold thess beautiful lives. I am so in love with Andre, his willingness to work in the garden harvesting the produces, and the bonding between him and Tyler. I am new to this so my question how I can help the children especially Andre monetary wise to buy what needed and yes they like going to the pool for fun. Thanks

    Omg! I had to pause the video (watching your channel on my TV) to comment. When you were leaving Sonia in the laundry room & started talking about going to do the dishes "The Break-Up" came to mind. Then you started talking about it @7:08 I almost spit out my passion fruit drink 🤣. That movie is a classic & should be watched by all couples. Nobody really wants to do the dishes, man or woman, but it's just what has to get done so we should just help each other with the chores.

    Dave, young man, you are going a great job. As children, we don’t always like what our parents say or do, however, once you grow up and are an adult, or perhaps have your own family, you will be so thankful for the rules and structure in your life today, that will mould you to continue to be the best version of yourself, and the man you are destined to be! God bless you 🎉❤

    I must say there were so many teachable moments in this episode. The conversation between you and Dave was very positive. Kudos to him for actually agreeing to have a sit down with you on camera. He is not perfect, no one is, however, he does have a lot of great qualities. In addition to his nickname "DJ Dave", he shall also be called, "the baby whisperer". He seems to have a knack with children. So, Mario will have his own barber shop in the future, while he moonlights as a DJ with Dave. Dreena, Craig & Junior will have a successful restaurant as long as they remember to say "behind". Andre will be great at whatever he puts his mind to because he is a self-starter & a go-getter. J.J., wish he could be around more because he does have a self-confidence about him that is refreshing to see in a child that young. Tyler, continue to do the hard work. See you guys next episode.

    As far as Dave goes, I think he was doing his own thing so it's hard for him to change so fast. The thing is though, you had him long enough for him to change around by now. It also depends on who raised him before. I meant to tell you not to play around with them so much because I know those children will not respect you after a while, it also depends on how they were raised the first 10 years. My dad was very wise and we learned a lot from him. Remember you went there to retire not to deal with any stress or you will age fast😂 when you take a child from a undisciplined home, it will be tough.

    That’s how most humans are, don’t want to be told what to do even if it’s best for them. Most humans ( adults or kids) will keep it within the heart because of learnt behavior but it’s best to express oneself even if inappropriate. That way you know what’s in another’s heart. He will learn how to express his true feelings in a more acceptable manner as time goes on.

The goal of this channel is transparency, and while not all interactions are going to be a highlight real, I'm proud of him in being able to recognize it's okay to talk about it.

He is learning that they are available and willing to help him effectively talk/work through his difficulties. He is learning. I believe they all are.
