Alexis: "I haven't gotten in trouble today" Mama: "well the day is still young...give it time" The girls have entered that stage of talking back...how would you deal?
There goes those cutie pies again!😍😄 (Ava!!!...pinching Alexis to try and shush her..😏) they both are the CUTEST💜❤️ (Ami and the girls: do you only shout out people who's on Instagram 😯)...not accusing you of doing that, just curious💜❤️💜
She is talking to them about talking back but the whole conversation they are talking back and talking over her.Ami is not getting anywhere.Good gracious these kids could talk .Aaaaah.
I love that you talk with them like this. Alexis was able to say that express how she doesn't always understand when she's talking back. I felt like that growing up, but I would just get hit. Thats not good at all.
Yeah everyone has attitude though like it's normal and it's especially expressed when younger because you are you're purest form. you haven't learned much yet and even if you have its hard to grasp concepts quick and really understand consequences because your brain is still forming n growing so no one should be too harsh and understand a child's development
Some of these comments are highly inappropriate and not helpful at all. They're children and she's absolutely doing the right thing. She's definitely taking measures to correct the behavior but feels unsatisfied with the results. So, she called on her "community" for alternative ideas. Good job, Mom! We must always be trying to do better...at everything in life! Especially child rearing. My suggestion is am echo of another response. When the "back talking" begins, do not respond. Stoically. They will immediately notice you are looking at them but not responding. Give it a minute or so, a question or two...then respond with one question: Are you talking back? If they don't self-correct, repeat. No anger, annoyance or raised voice. Just laser focus until they get it...and they WILL get it. I could tell you invoke self-correction in them from paying attention to their demeanor during this video. You've got this! It's an ongoing process for life, to reevaluate and try something new if you want a different result. Just keep keeping love at the forefront and God in the lead. You and Justin will raise intelligent, beautiful and respectful human beings. I have no doubt. 🙏🏾💙
thanks Twyla! we are very confident in our parenting and ask for suggestions because we want to involve others who have dealt with the same thing.We aren't negotiable on our effort to mitigate back-talk:)
@@Sachi52 I don't agree with that assessment but you are certainly entitled to your opinion. We see different things as individuals because we don't have the same perspective. My children are adults but at 25 and 26 they still exhibit manners instilled in them at 5 and 6. That is not to say I have always said or done the "right thing". There will be a line your kids won't cross because you have repeatedly shown them it's the best way. You won't accept less. The world MAY, at times, but as a general experience....it's just not acceptable to be rude, mean, dishonest, disrespectful, etc. Not everyone has that guidance. Not everyone will be civilized. Perspective is key. You can only control you and what you do. How you react. Whether you agree with how Ami conducts herself, maybe there's a way to ADD something vs judging the Mom. I find her brave to be so open with the world and vulnerable enough to even acknowledge seeking ideas from other moms. That's sacrificial for the sake of doing what's best for your child. You're probably awesome in your own right. You surely have a heart for young people. Let's try to have one for everyone while we navigate through this world. Have a blessed and prosperous week!
“I’ll tell dada to cut that out” lol I was just as slick and bossy as a kid lol 😩 my granny would set me straight no matter where we were which was embarrassing enough on its own & would give me all the worst (age appropriate) chores to do around the house and eventually I learned that she wasn’t the one to play with lol.
Women bump heads with their daughters because their ego gets bruised and they improperly respond with spitefulness and being vindictive towards the child
That’s what we call “backchat” in the Caribbean. When we did this, my mom would make us pick up a book and stand in front of everyone and read a chapter or two out loud. She said, “read a book since you have so much to say.” It actually helped us in the long run. 🤷🏾♀️
Saphire 64...I thought I was the only one. My Jamaican parents did this to me. You're lucky it was only a chapter or two...I swear I never understood how answering what I was asked was "backchat"...If you asked me a question...shouldn't I answer????? When I didn't answer it was..."Pikni yuh deaf...yuh nuh hear weh me ask you"SMH...
I think one idea is to ask Ava what’s her definition of a diva? Then ask her if she sees it as a positive or negative trait. She seems to hear that word towards her a lot so it can easily make her act a certain way if she constantly believes everyone thinks that about her. 💁🏾♀️
Nope, it’ll continue well into their teens! I have a 19yr old daughter! Good luck mama!! The tudes that they give and display, WHEW!! When you feel your blood pressure rising, due to their behavior/attitude, I’ve found it best to walk away or have THEM walk away, and come back when they get themselves together and are ready to talk. I agree with having open dialogue. This allows them to see and know that their feelings DO matter, even if they’re in the wrong, or we STILL may say “NO!”. They’ll see that they too have a voice and learn how to voice feelings and opinions appropriately, regardless of the outcome(they may not always get their way, not all the time will we, as parents, agree OR disagree). Love this video!!! One love from the Jersey Shore(Neptune-near Asbury Park)❤️
It’s pretty common. They’re doing the classic “testing the boundaries” thing. Most of all, you have to be consistent with correction. And that’s what it seems you are doing. Girl, you just have to keep on it. They are at that age where they want to know where they stand in the family. Too many parents trying to be friends. Just. Be. Consistent and keep on talking to them. Continue to let them know YOU are in charge, and there must be consequences. Consequences back up the fact that YOU are in charge. Ok, because you talked back, we WERE going to get ice cream, but now we are not. We WERE going to the park, but now we’re not. If there are no consequences, they don’t care. They are smart. They know they aren’t supposed to do it, but unless there are real consequences, they won’t care about it. You have to give them a consequence that really hits home for them, to let them know YOU are in charge.
@florence, she can be all that and more without the attitude, she looks like a mean kid, that's how other kids will perceive that, mama better nip it off the bud. Glad the mama's noticed and doing something about it before it's too late, in my time, my mama used the rod, she didn't have time to talk to you, just by her tone of voice, eye contact, i knew not to open my mouth again lol.
And her great confidence and strong personality can lead to a negative attitude towards people if not corrected from now.... Im happy she has parents of discipline.
Yes, Ava did dominate this episode. I felt pain for both girls somehow and even Ami, because she has to steer these girls without destroying their personalities. That's HARD...😬
Excellent parenting, Ami. They’re at a stage where they’re definitely testing boundaries. Your kids are precious; however, it’s very important to correct inappropriate behavior at this stage, because when they reach the pre-teen years it will be far more difficult to correct. Good job! ❤️
Lol. I see Ava is back to being the "dominable sprinkler." 🤣. Love that the girls have grown so much and can express themselves so well. You are raising lovely girls. Keep it up. Love you guys.
I actually understood what Alexis was saying because there’s times they may not mean to appear to be talking back. By the way, wait until the teen years, Ami 😱😂
RIGHT! I got in trouble a lot as a child for "talking back" and I was just saying how I felt or what I thought. I think there's a thin line between talking back and having a voice.
I’m still going through my teen years and I’m just trying to have a normal conversation with my mum about whatever it is and then she’ll just become rude towards me and then say I was talking back. I’m just normally speaking and the she’d go insane towards me
@@Faidisfat as a parent of grown children, we sometimes forget we were your age. I learned I had to listen because sometimes our teens don’t always know how to say what they want us to hear and understand. I hope it changes soon for you.
Ava needs more love ♥️. You can tell she's starting to live in the world of her own making her to careless. She needs more attention than she's getting. That sassy attitude is a defense mechanism to shield something. Please pay attention to her
I agree.. Shes way too tough on them. U hardly see any loving words touches or tenderness shown to the girls. Even when Ava had a tear on her face mom scolded her and almost ridiculed her asking ARE YOU CRYING!!!??? And Ava's defense was no I'm not crying it's from the sun...smh. Sad to see such lovely beautiful sweet girls subjected to this treatment.
I hate to say but I feel like its all just for money... Moms getting surgeries and they are taking trips leaving the girls behind. They bought a new and btw HUGE house. Parents closet is like a celebrity closet. While it seems the girls live very meager and are micromanaged and dictated to. No freedom to just be a child. No.. they must be documented daily for their parent's financial gain. Smh 😢
Mrs.McClure you're doing a great job with the kids by taking the time to speak with them about their attitudes. As a former elementary school teacher from kindergarten to 5th grade I've seen it all. As cute as they are the girls will be ostracized in school by adults, their peers, (who might already be jealous already), and potential business partners because they feel disrespected. God trusted you with three beautiful children. You are not wrong to expect respect and responsible behaviors. If there are no expectations one day you'll lose it all, and the girls will blame you because you're the mama. There is only one woman in the house and that's you. P.S. Jersey's taking notes.
Funny how Lexi talks about Ava all the time, just look at the beginning of the video and it's fine, she talks over Ava all the time, she whines if Ava raises her own shoulder, but Ava is always the one reprimanded
Ami, Ami, Ami, how many times I call your name now? You have create these little intellectuals who are learning how to articulate communication which benefits their curiosity. However it's backfiring on them because they are challenging the wrong person YOU. I have found the best punishment with children when they're being disrespectful stop talking to them. They will ask you, why won't you talk to me(?) That is when you get the chance to correct them and say, " when you learn to talk to me and respect me then I will talk to you" This is worse than a spanking try it!! Work's like a charm for me. 😊
@@vanessameighan7537 ; When you stop talking remember you take things away they will notice. All that yelling repeatedly/repeating yourself, Too much work! ☺ our children are smart they are intelligent. Your children watch you they learn your ways. That's how they know what they can get away with little opportunist. Lol
I see myself in Ava😢😍 growing up I used to be "a loud mouth" one of my teachers even wrote in my school report that I'm "a chatterbox" and as I reached my teenage years I started getting self conscious about "my loud mouth" and "bossy attitude" that I started hating that about myself (this is getting too deep so I'm gonna cut it here..) my "deep" voice didn't help either... but when i was 16 I met an angel of a woman at the mall while being my loud self she stopped me and said something along the lines of "your voice is so resonant I love it..." long story short she was in radio and that's how I landed my first job.. my confidence came back but I was still feeling sad about people calling me bossy and to be honest I still struggle with it today as a Law Student in Africa's number one university. And everytime a person calls me bossy, honey I tell them "I'm not bossy I'm a leader and I'm I'm defs not loud I'm a young woman with something important to say.." 👑👑👑👑 don't take me wrong its important to teach baby girl wrong from right but its imperative that we dont call her "bossy" and "loud" its scars us as black girls 😔 confidence is fragile... love your family loads❤❤❤❤
Mihlali Gaiza wow. my teacher wrote a letter to my mom when I was younger as well about my “chatter mouth” lol again....I was conscience of my loud mouth that the people that really knows me noticed I’m much more quiet now but deep down I struggle with it cause in my heart I am who I am. I love to yell at Heavens about any and everything. It’s how I show my excitement and my sadness and everything in between. Some people just don’t understand and it is hard cause I don’t like to run people off or annoy others but I can’t help who I am.
This conversation should have been discussed privately, putting your children on blast like that it makes them shy to even tell you anything else that’s important 🥺
Yes that would be nice to see, I'm sure Ava might be a little bit more tame, she is the oldest so they tend to me more bossy, jus sayin'. But sometimes that isn't the case.
When they started twin talk, Ava was the dominant speaker. She was reserved for sometime but it seems she is coming around again. So this is no new news. But I think this suggestion is good, let them do the talk in turns but about 2 Tuesday's and let's see
Me too...because when together they 're blocking each other and at the end Eva seems to always be the one who talks the most...I'd love to see them express themselves separately in these talks
Ava is an old soul with an INCREDIBLE mind and intellect, and I feel like mom is threatened by this. Both of the girls are so gifted emotionally and mentally, and I have a feeling “back talk” is really their curiosity and thirst to really understand your demands as a mom. It’s so important not to stifle the mind and feelings of a child, let alone on camera. Parents do NOT give children enough credit and it’s heartbreaking. I love this channel so much, and mean no disrespect. I definitely understand this is just a little glimpse into you all’s lives... I’m just broken watching this, because it reminds me of my childhood.
Literally same. 😭 I absolutely adore this family and I’m very happy to see that Ami is encouraging a productive discussion if the girls don’t want to do something or need to express themselves. But these comments are killing meeee. These people condemn talking back but forget that their shero’s were considered sassy and some of the smartest people started out developing new ideas and ways of thinking by questioning authority (their parents).
I said the same thing she sees something in Ava. I feel like she is either intimidated or jealous that she is head strong. This is not a bad quality but Ami sees it that way. She treats her like she is holding a grudge. Both girls are very smart!
@@marionpope4379 Alexis started out the video blaming her sister in the beginning ARE YOU DEAF? 1:13 Ami says you girls talk back a lot Alexis immediately deflects to her sister saying she talks back a lot. AMI SAYS NOTHING Soon as Ava does it she tells her she needs to stop acting like she's perfect and does nothing wrong. LIKE TF??
@@marionpope4379Well if you watch and pay attention to this video and past videos Ava gets ganged up on and reprimanded but rarely Alexis and if she does Ami uses a different tone with her. I SEE WHY SHE ACTS THW WAY SHE DOES...Save it 🤚🏾
omg ava’s attitude ISSS nasty 😭 she use to be the sweetest one . i’m sure it’s just a phase or if it’s the kids at school . but it’ll pass . but keep us updated on the back talk ! i’m sure this talk will help them
You guys are doing a great job! Parenting is hard when you really do it ‘right’ ... when you care enough to correct and teach instead of letting your kids run wild. They are testing boundaries and asserting their independence - totally age appropriate, but you guys are doing a great job helping them navigate healthy ways to do that. 👍🙌❤️
9:14 to 9:40 Alexis suffered there. I was sad watching that. This Ava diva comes strong and Alexis struggles to come through. Mama I think Alexis needs more chances to assert herself since Ava is the stronger personality.
It's really great parenting to talk with your kids like this. I think it really helps kids to learn how to think and problem-solve and essentially grow up. Having said that, I don't think they could be any cuter
I agree with the previous comments regarding the twins testing their boundaries with your authority as parents. Continue to let them know exactly what behavior they manifest you consider inappropriate , and if necessary take away some of their privileges. On another note, I would like to "Shout Out" to Mama Ami about your attractive and beautiful selection of dresses for the twins to wear. On "Twins Talk Tuesday", they always look absolutely adorable! I have watched other twin shows, and I think you do the best job at selecting their clothes.
@EMMANUELLA KONADU DESU, the funny thing is she's always telling Alexis to speak for herself, but doesn't allow her to speak. Like when she cuts her off, talks over her, and says "sissy I'm talking." They remind me of my friends twin girls.
I Love & appreciate That we get to experience the growth & development of the Twins! They are so beautiful to see. That said I often have opinions that I'm not sure if I have a right to share as they are NOT My Children! But watching them so regularly almost makes you feel like a surrogate Aunty! You just wanna get involved. 🤗 I think you do a very good job Ami & Dad Too! The Girls are special & quite unique despite their "identical-ness" My Personal favourite is definitely #Alexis!! 💖 She has a nature that I just adore! Ava is quick thinking & seems more mature but I think she overshadows her Sister too much! However I think they will grow through it eventually & as Alexis becomes more Confident, they will settle into their roles as Individual yet Identical Siblings much better! Ava defo has a head start in that area! She constantly points out her individuality! More #Lexi Please! 💖💖
They must be disciplined when they talk back to their parents. My niece's children talked back because she let them debate with her. When I baby sat them they.never got way with talking back because I am old school. What i say is what I meant and that's it.
Thank you for allowing us into your world. It’s good to see real videos. This was a great teachable moment for both parents and children . Real life experiences are the best.
Seriously, the way Ava explained what talking back means, for a second I thought it was Justin talking. She was talking fast, repeating the same thing in different words just like dada. She learned from the best
Ava has a great understanding of the topic good job . Hopefully both of you will learn not to back talk . And be respectful to your parents whether your young or old 👌
I raised one. Its their intellect, being precocious. Because of those reasons, my mistake was asking too many times "what do you think? what do you want? its your choice'. Sometimes they need to be TOLD instead. Bring back the balance.
Also maybe to change most of their "I want's" to "Can I?". To correct themselves, stop & think about how it sounds. I used to ask my son "are you asking me, or telling me".
Ava doing all this explaining like she gonna follow the rules 😂 n she think her agreeing with mama gonna get her out of trouble lol I was the same way when I was younger lol 💗
At 7:50 Alexis asked such an important question! I find it fascinating that at such a young age she’s asking for clarity on what it means to talk back. It shows maturity and her wanting to avoid trouble. Growing up in an African household, there was no such thing as expressing your thoughts or feelings. It’s interesting because I still struggle expressing my thoughts and feelings to my mom as an adult. She believes everything I say and do is rude and disrespectful when all I’m doing is expressing my opinion. I understand tone and body language contributes to delivery in a message so, I’m VERY CAREFUL with how I talk to her but still I’m rude. Lmao so at this point I choose to stay silent and growing up I was always silent. I only spoke when needed and still do. This is such an important video and I hope all parents take the time to sit down with their kid and have this conversation with them. Teach your kid how to be respectful but don’t silence them. Allow them to express themselves in a respectful manner. But you have to teach them!
Yes the talking back doesn’t stop! My kids are 12 and 13 and my daughter has a smart mouth and my son thinks he grown so it doesn’t stop you just have to stay on top of it
Sometimes Ami comes across as clashing more with Ava. She is young, trying too hard to tame her might make her coil into her shell. I find Ava as confident and deep thinker. Moreso give Ava a chance to express hetself, trying too hard to control her might backfire
Let Ami raise her children as she sees fit. She’s training them for life and life lessons are important in child rearing. They will not always be little cute girls they will be big beautiful women someday and the beauty must be more than skin deep. Anyone who watches often will notice that Ava is sometimes domineering and gets an attitude when she doesn’t get to dominate. She also does it with lots of attitude. It’s her personality we get it....but she can learn how to take turns in life. Turn taking in conversation is good manners. Being expressive cannot be mistaken for poor manners. Neither can domineering be equated with being expressive.
2fly4thedrama it’s just the generation most kids act like that when they turn that age bc their starting to understand how to do more things than before
I think all children do this especially independent strong minded children, they will challenge their parents at times. Good communication, proper discipline & praise is a key to being tactful. However, a tactic that works one day may not work the next it's mind boggling raising children they are illogical at times when it comes to a parent's reasoning.
YES, I remember that age, my daughter, is 13 an OMG. Just stay consistent with reminding them of their manners, words and being respectful to parents and each other.
I am LIVING for this look today!!! Omg the color and the hair-gorgeous!!! 🧚 Also you guys are fantastic parents! I swear I live vicariously through you 💞
I felt them when they said they don't even know when they talk back. I thought I was the coolest kid who doesn't talk back until I started Expressing myself and tht was regarded as "talking back". You are blessed to have kids tht talk freely to you...yes they need discipline with attitude..but dont let them be scared of you.. I grew up being scared of my father not bcoz I was scared he was gonna hit me..coz he never did. But to talk to him like a father, ask for advices e.t.c...I still can't do that..he is trying to get me to talk in every way but I'm just not there.. I'm glad they are open minded
This video definitely shows the difference between the girls!! And it was an eye opener to how they actually raise the girls and discipline them. A lot of times people think that children who are popular on social media don't get disciplined a lot or that they get away with everything. This was a good video!
When they talk back you discipline them and tell them to clean small areas in the house and when they do good in school and behave well you reward them with a toy or an educational toy
I really feel sad when Alexi pleads for Ava to let her talk as well and even though she is given a chance to talk, she talks less and then Ava picks up from there again!!!
Asia Riddick She's not self-centered, just faster in her thinking. Alexis needs more time to gather her thoughts and by the time she gets there Ava is already revved up. They both have their ways and Mom just has to be aware and help them be balanced. #NatureNurture
Ugh omg Alexis you’re amazing keep being sweet these people in these comments are trying to say you’re not the strong one you are and I love these talks but sometimes they get so cringe when Alexis looks defeated and overlooked 💯❤️
Hi, Ami First, I want to say I'm a 55 year old African American woman in Chicago. I want to comment on the "back talk " issue. It seems the problem is the "attitude" with the back talk. I was just like the girls. I only knew how to speak the way I felt at the moment. Just like Ava and Alexis, I didn't know it was with attitude. You may have to sit them down individually and address the "attitude". You and Justin are teaching them that they can say what is on their mind with respect, albeit . This means with the two of you, also.This is the only way they are going to speak their minds with others. Raising kids to have a healthy self- esteem is hard.
There is nothing wrong with using some of the methods our parents used. People are allowing kids to run the house. I'm grateful of how I was raised. I've seen your girls around other kids from youtube and it was embarrassing for the other kids because the twins were so well behaved and mannerable. So you are doing something right.
Ami, I love the way you and Justin talk to the kids, I did this with mine and my 3 year old was spelling the word ambulance. It makes a big difference when you don’t talk baby talk from birth. I have 3 girls that was raised between me and God, they grew up to be beautiful inside and outside, and college educated. So when people say kids need a two parent home, try raising them with God in the mix, I also didn’t spank my children for everything, and you have to let them express themselves. When my girls would throw a tantrum, I waited until they were done, then talk to them and tell them, that they need to channel their anger in a better way and to never let other people see them act that way. Then I would tell them to use their words and talk to me.
Omg, Ava is the female equivalent of my son, nothing seems to be their fault ever, and slyly minipulative, that pinch was so sneaky, but I must say Ami you and Justin are doing an awesome job with them.
This topic is cool. I hope they listen, hopefully they will change and stop talking back. It is actually good that their mom has started talking about that issue because it won't be very nice when they are grown and used to talking back attitude. They will change for good. If their parents keep talking about it over time they will stop doing it.
Oh boooooooooy! The girls are growing up! Waaaaaah! However, I am so glad to see Momma McClure is not accepting the attitudes. It is good you are having this conversation now, because as they continue to grow, and their celebrity grows, they will hear so much from the world that may inflate their egos. I love Momma & Dada for being who you are as parents. Firm, fair, and loving!!! This is the age known as the testing phase. As they begin to experience their independence (reference to making choices); they begin to push boundaries, and as parents we must help them become respectfully assertive, but NIP unwanted behavior when it begins! #real #twintalk #Tuesday 👯♀️👩❤️💋👩👭💖💖
My girls, 5 and 7, have been watching Ava and Alexis for some time now. This video was on their tablet this evening and I just wanted to tell you, we relate to many of these things! It was a great teaching moment! Thank you!
Alexis: "I haven't gotten in trouble today"
Mama: "well the day is still young...give it time"
The girls have entered that stage of talking back...how would you deal?

I talk back to my mom
This is where we realise how different this girls' personalities are
Ikr Ava is a diva 😂while Alexis is the shy one.
Funanani Jessica their body language (especially being reprimanded) and facial expressions says a lot.
Ava talks alot wile Alexis is the one that takes the blame
She is talking to them about talking back but the whole conversation they are talking back and talking over her.Ami is not getting anywhere.Good gracious these kids could talk .Aaaaah.
They can never discipline these kids.
I love that you talk with them like this. Alexis was able to say that express how she doesn't always understand when she's talking back. I felt like that growing up, but I would just get hit. Thats not good at all.
Skylar A. Same!!!
Yeah everyone has attitude though like it's normal and it's especially expressed when younger because you are you're purest form. you haven't learned much yet and even if you have its hard to grasp concepts quick and really understand consequences because your brain is still forming n growing so no one should be too harsh and understand a child's development

She's definitely taking measures to correct the behavior but feels unsatisfied with the results. So, she called on her "community" for alternative ideas. Good job, Mom! We must always be trying to do better...at everything in life! Especially child rearing. My suggestion is am echo of another response. When the "back talking" begins, do not respond. Stoically.

It's an ongoing process for life, to reevaluate and try something new if you want a different result. Just keep keeping love at the forefront and God in the lead. You and Justin will raise intelligent, beautiful and respectful human beings. I have no doubt. 🙏🏾💙
thanks Twyla! we are very confident in our parenting and ask for suggestions because we want to involve others who have dealt with the same thing.We aren't negotiable on our effort to mitigate back-talk:)
It's they way she talks to them. Even her tone gives them the idea that they have privilege.
Like she tells them not to talk when others are talking, then she does that very thing.
They are actually mimicing her
@@Sachi52 I don't agree with that assessment but you are certainly entitled to your opinion. We see different things as individuals because we don't have the same perspective.

I find her brave to be so open with the world and vulnerable enough to even acknowledge seeking ideas from other moms. That's sacrificial for the sake of doing what's best for your child.

“I’ll tell dada to cut that out” lol I was just as slick and bossy as a kid lol 😩 my granny would set me straight no matter where we were which was embarrassing enough on its own & would give me all the worst (age appropriate) chores to do around the house and eventually I learned that she wasn’t the one to play with lol.
she thought she was slick by saying that lol...he didn't cut it out!

Ava has her mother’s personality. They’re going to bump heads, a lot !!!!
Women bump heads with their daughters because their ego gets bruised and they improperly respond with spitefulness and being vindictive towards the child
Yup bingo. Its almost like a competition
@@queenjustice9994 damn im glad yall see this. Almost like jealousy huh?? They are young gorgeous famous & in the spotlight
Not if Mom stays on top of it. Good job Mom!
Yea
I love how when they don’t know something like what a word means they ask
That’s what we call “backchat” in the Caribbean. When we did this, my mom would make us pick up a book and stand in front of everyone and read a chapter or two out loud. She said, “read a book since you have so much to say.” It actually helped us in the long run. 🤷🏾♀️
lol that's a good approach!
@@MightyMcClures
I for sure believe so.it's so funmy though.
Saphire 64 omg that is a good idea. I’ll do that with my kids (when I have them) 😂
Saphire 64...I thought I was the only one. My Jamaican parents did this to me. You're lucky it was only a chapter or two...I swear I never understood how answering what I was asked was "backchat"...If you asked me a question...shouldn't I answer????? When I didn't answer it was..."Pikni yuh deaf...yuh nuh hear weh me ask you"SMH...
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I think one idea is to ask Ava what’s her definition of a diva? Then ask her if she sees it as a positive or negative trait. She seems to hear that word towards her a lot so it can easily make her act a certain way if she constantly believes everyone thinks that about her. 💁🏾♀️
Thank you
So true
@The McClure Family
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is so important
I love Ava confidence and intelligence! It's just part of growing. Mama McClure got it under control.
Nope, it’ll continue well into their teens! I have a 19yr old daughter! Good luck mama!! The tudes that they give and display, WHEW!! When you feel your blood pressure rising, due to their behavior/attitude, I’ve found it best to walk away or have THEM walk away, and come back when they get themselves together and are ready to talk. I agree with having open dialogue. This allows them to see and know that their feelings DO matter, even if they’re in the wrong, or we STILL may say “NO!”. They’ll see that they too have a voice and learn how to voice feelings and opinions appropriately, regardless of the outcome(they may not always get their way, not all the time will we, as parents, agree OR disagree).
Love this video!!! One love from the Jersey Shore(Neptune-near Asbury Park)❤️
It’s pretty common. They’re doing the classic “testing the boundaries” thing. Most of all, you have to be consistent with correction. And that’s what it seems you are doing. Girl, you just have to keep on it. They are at that age where they want to know where they stand in the family. Too many parents trying to be friends. Just. Be. Consistent and keep on talking to them. Continue to let them know YOU are in charge, and there must be consequences. Consequences back up the fact that YOU are in charge. Ok, because you talked back, we WERE going to get ice cream, but now we are not. We WERE going to the park, but now we’re not. If there are no consequences, they don’t care. They are smart. They know they aren’t supposed to do it, but unless there are real consequences, they won’t care about it. You have to give them a consequence that really hits home for them, to let them know YOU are in charge.
Sharon Hutchins This is great advice. My granddaughters are like this but the Mom is trying to be a friend. It can’t work like that. 😊
Great advice!
Great insight and we totally agree!
💯
My mom would ask me what did I say to make me think about what I said and how I said to correct the attitude. With a very stern tone in her voice.
I think Ava is a deep thinker and very confident! Her personality is on point too. Give them equal chances to express themselves.
@florence, she can be all that and more without the attitude, she looks like a mean kid, that's how other kids will perceive that, mama better nip it off the bud.
Glad the mama's noticed and doing something about it before it's too late, in my time, my mama used the rod, she didn't have time to talk to you, just by her tone of voice, eye contact, i knew not to open my mouth again lol.
And her great confidence and strong personality can lead to a negative attitude towards people if not corrected from now.... Im happy she has parents of discipline.
Yes, Ava did dominate this episode. I felt pain for both girls somehow and even Ami, because she has to steer these girls without destroying their personalities. That's HARD...😬

Excellent parenting, Ami. They’re at a stage where they’re definitely testing boundaries. Your kids are precious; however, it’s very important to correct inappropriate behavior at this stage, because when they reach the pre-teen years it will be far more difficult to correct. Good job! ❤️
Sandie Wynn well said.
Trueee
Lol. I see Ava is back to being the "dominable sprinkler." 🤣. Love that the girls have grown so much and can express themselves so well. You are raising lovely girls. Keep it up. Love you guys.
Poor Alexis, she is trying to make a point and Ava just keeps on talking, and talking, and talking. They are so adorable!!!
I actually understood what Alexis was saying because there’s times they may not mean to appear to be talking back. By the way, wait until the teen years, Ami 😱😂
RIGHT! I got in trouble a lot as a child for "talking back" and I was just saying how I felt or what I thought. I think there's a thin line between talking back and having a voice.
John Doe Exactly! I would get a pop from my mom because she said I was talking back and I wasn’t, I was just trying to explain 🤷🏾♀️😆
I’m still going through my teen years and I’m just trying to have a normal conversation with my mum about whatever it is and then she’ll just become rude towards me and then say I was talking back. I’m just normally speaking and the she’d go insane towards me

Ami: **Asks Alexis a question** “...I know it’s hard.”
Ava: “No it’s not I can answer it easy peasey lemon squeezy.” 😂omg
Ava needs more love ♥️. You can tell she's starting to live in the world of her own making her to careless. She needs more attention than she's getting. That sassy attitude is a defense mechanism to shield something. Please pay attention to her
🙌🏽🙌🏽
Very true
Agree
I agree.. Shes way too tough on them. U hardly see any loving words touches or tenderness shown to the girls. Even when Ava had a tear on her face mom scolded her and almost ridiculed her asking ARE YOU CRYING!!!??? And Ava's defense was no I'm not crying it's from the sun...smh. Sad to see such lovely beautiful sweet girls subjected to this treatment.
I hate to say but I feel like its all just for money... Moms getting surgeries and they are taking trips leaving the girls behind. They bought a new and btw HUGE house. Parents closet is like a celebrity closet. While it seems the girls live very meager and are micromanaged and dictated to. No freedom to just be a child. No.. they must be documented daily for their parent's financial gain. Smh 😢

Mrs.McClure you're doing a great job with the kids by taking the time to speak with them about their attitudes. As a former elementary school teacher from kindergarten to 5th grade I've seen it all. As cute as they are the girls will be ostracized in school by adults, their peers, (who might already be jealous already), and potential business partners because they feel disrespected. God trusted you with three beautiful children. You are not wrong to expect respect and responsible behaviors. If there are no expectations one day you'll lose it all, and the girls will blame you because you're the mama. There is only one woman in the house and that's you. P.S. Jersey's taking notes.
I think that I just realized just how bossy Ava is! 😯
Funny how Lexi talks about Ava all the time, just look at the beginning of the video and it's fine, she talks over Ava all the time, she whines if Ava raises her own shoulder, but Ava is always the one reprimanded
Alexis is more bossy Ava is picked on and is ganged up on
They're at the I'm going to see how far I can get' phase
I too have been watching them for years and I've definitely noticed that she's always harder on Ava and more lenient with Alexis🤷🏾♀️
We have to keep in mind that we only see a few moments of interaction on video. We have no idea what they are like in private.
Alexis is so patient 😂 like Ava has to calm down
Ava is in Diva mode.
And it’s so weird because a couple of months ago Lexi was the diva
@@ke_mathe, na Ava has always been the diva years ago.
They both get impatient when the other is talking and seem to think that one is gonna get to talk more than the other. They try to outdo each other.
@LORIS MEGUENO ava is also kind
Ami, Ami, Ami, how many times I call your name now? You have create these little intellectuals who are learning how to articulate communication which benefits their curiosity. However it's backfiring on them because they are challenging the wrong person YOU. I have found the best punishment with children when they're being disrespectful stop talking to them. They will ask you, why won't you talk to me(?) That is when you get the chance to correct them and say, " when you learn to talk to me and respect me then I will talk to you" This is worse than a spanking try it!! Work's like a charm for me. 😊
Hmmmm. Not sure not talking is the best approach; seems more like a last resort option.
I might have to try this with my boys.
@@vanessameighan7537 ; When you stop talking remember you take things away they will notice. All that yelling repeatedly/repeating yourself, Too much work! ☺ our children are smart they are intelligent. Your children watch you they learn your ways. That's how they know what they can get away with little opportunist. Lol
Love it! Sounds good! And now is the time to catch them before they become too full of themselves.
Children don't like being rejected. By not speaking to them implies the same. These girls are so adorable! Same face but diff personalities!😘😘💃💃😍😍💜💜
I see myself in Ava😢😍 growing up I used to be "a loud mouth" one of my teachers even wrote in my school report that I'm "a chatterbox" and as I reached my teenage years I started getting self conscious about "my loud mouth" and "bossy attitude" that I started hating that about myself (this is getting too deep so I'm gonna cut it here..) my "deep" voice didn't help either... but when i was 16 I met an angel of a woman at the mall while being my loud self she stopped me and said something along the lines of "your voice is so resonant I love it..." long story short she was in radio and that's how I landed my first job.. my confidence came back but I was still feeling sad about people calling me bossy and to be honest I still struggle with it today as a Law Student in Africa's number one university. And everytime a person calls me bossy, honey I tell them "I'm not bossy I'm a leader and I'm I'm defs not loud I'm a young woman with something important to say.." 👑👑👑👑 don't take me wrong its important to teach baby girl wrong from right but its imperative that we dont call her "bossy" and "loud" its scars us as black girls 😔 confidence is fragile...
love your family loads❤❤❤❤
Mihlali Gaiza wow. my teacher wrote a letter to my mom when I was younger as well about my “chatter mouth” lol again....I was conscience of my loud mouth that the people that really knows me noticed I’m much more quiet now but deep down I struggle with it cause in my heart I am who I am. I love to yell at Heavens about any and everything. It’s how I show my excitement and my sadness and everything in between. Some people just don’t understand and it is hard cause I don’t like to run people off or annoy others but I can’t help who I am.

This conversation should have been discussed privately, putting your children on blast like that it makes them shy to even tell you anything else that’s important 🥺
I'd also like to see you talk on here with each one separate. Just a suggestion.
Kimbo Krg me too. Ava has become quite rude in talking over Alexis. I wanted to remove her.
Yes that would be nice to see, I'm sure Ava might be a little bit more tame, she is the oldest so they tend to me more bossy, jus sayin'. But sometimes that isn't the case.
When they started twin talk, Ava was the dominant speaker. She was reserved for sometime but it seems she is coming around again. So this is no new news. But I think this suggestion is good, let them do the talk in turns but about 2 Tuesday's and let's see
Me too...because when together they 're blocking each other and at the end Eva seems to always be the one who talks the most...I'd love to see them express themselves separately in these talks
Ava is an old soul with an INCREDIBLE mind and intellect, and I feel like mom is threatened by this. Both of the girls are so gifted emotionally and mentally, and I have a feeling “back talk” is really their curiosity and thirst to really understand your demands as a mom. It’s so important not to stifle the mind and feelings of a child, let alone on camera.
Parents do NOT give children enough credit and it’s heartbreaking. I love this channel so much, and mean no disrespect. I definitely understand this is just a little glimpse into you all’s lives... I’m just broken watching this, because it reminds me of my childhood.
Literally same. 😭 I absolutely adore this family and I’m very happy to see that Ami is encouraging a productive discussion if the girls don’t want to do something or need to express themselves. But these comments are killing meeee. These people condemn talking back but forget that their shero’s were considered sassy and some of the smartest people started out developing new ideas and ways of thinking by questioning authority (their parents).
jade colon EXACTLY oh my goodness! Thanks for adding on to this!!
I said the same thing she sees something in Ava. I feel like she is either intimidated or jealous that she is head strong. This is not a bad quality but Ami sees it that way. She treats her like she is holding a grudge. Both girls are very smart!
@@marionpope4379 Alexis started out the video blaming her sister in the beginning ARE YOU DEAF? 1:13

You guys are doing a great job! Parenting is hard when you really do it ‘right’ ... when you care enough to correct and teach instead of letting your kids run wild. They are testing boundaries and asserting their independence - totally age appropriate, but you guys are doing a great job helping them navigate healthy ways to do that. 👍🙌❤️
9:14 to 9:40 Alexis suffered there. I was sad watching that.
This Ava diva comes strong and Alexis struggles to come through.
Mama I think Alexis needs more chances to assert herself since Ava is the stronger personality.
Exactly its sad
For sure Alexis needs more chances
It's really great parenting to talk with your kids like this. I think it really helps kids to learn how to think and problem-solve and essentially grow up. Having said that, I don't think they could be any cuter
Thank you. We want everyone to see that we take raising kids seriously
I agree with the previous comments regarding the twins testing their boundaries with your authority as parents. Continue to let them know exactly what behavior they manifest you consider inappropriate , and if necessary take away some of their privileges. On another note, I would like to "Shout Out" to Mama Ami about your attractive and beautiful selection of dresses for the twins to wear. On "Twins Talk Tuesday", they always look absolutely adorable! I have watched other twin shows, and I think you do the best job at selecting their clothes.
yah we like to let them voice their opinions but, in the end, back-talk will not be tolerated. appreciate your input!
@@MightyMcClures exactly

@EMMANUELLA KONADU DESU, the funny thing is she's always telling Alexis to speak for herself, but doesn't allow her to speak. Like when she cuts her off, talks over her, and says "sissy I'm talking." They remind me of my friends twin girls.
@@nurturingresiliencemahalia4233 no ava is the meanie
I Love & appreciate That we get to experience the growth & development of the Twins! They are so beautiful to see. That said I often have opinions that I'm not sure if I have a right to share as they are NOT My Children! But watching them so regularly almost makes you feel like a surrogate Aunty! You just wanna get involved. 🤗 I think you do a very good job Ami & Dad Too! The Girls are special & quite unique despite their "identical-ness" My Personal favourite is definitely #Alexis!! 💖 She has a nature that I just adore! Ava is quick thinking & seems more mature but I think she overshadows her Sister too much! However I think they will grow through it eventually & as Alexis becomes more Confident, they will settle into their roles as Individual yet Identical Siblings much better! Ava defo has a head start in that area! She constantly points out her individuality! More #Lexi Please! 💖💖
Alexis acted so cool and patient.....😍
yes she us and my name i s imani

whew chile😂
You're thinking what I'm thinking
We all know what happened when the camera stopped😅
She is going to be a DIVA AND in charge!!! This is inevitable!! 😂😂💯
They must be disciplined when they talk back to their parents. My niece's children talked back because she let them debate with her. When I baby sat them they.never got way with talking back because I am old school. What i say is what I meant and that's it.
Twin Talk Tuesday...my fav day of the week. I love these little cuties!
thanks Sharon!
@9:20
"Can I talk now Ava 🥺" Aww poor Lexis 💞🥺 broke my wittle heart
Thank you for allowing us into your world. It’s good to see real videos. This was a great teachable moment for both parents and children . Real life experiences are the best.
Seriously, the way Ava explained what talking back means, for a second I thought it was Justin talking. She was talking fast, repeating the same thing in different words just like dada. She learned from the best
lol!
Rightt she sounds just like him 😂😂
Ava has a great understanding of the topic good job . Hopefully both of you will learn not to back talk . And be respectful to your parents whether your young or old 👌
I raised one. Its their intellect, being precocious. Because of those reasons, my mistake was asking too many times "what do you think? what do you want? its your choice'. Sometimes they need to be TOLD instead. Bring back the balance.
Also maybe to change most of their "I want's" to "Can I?". To correct themselves, stop & think about how it sounds. I used to ask my son "are you asking me, or telling me".
“ stop sissy I’m talking right now” that got me laughing
Ava doing all this explaining like she gonna follow the rules 😂 n she think her agreeing with mama gonna get her out of trouble lol I was the same way when I was younger lol 💗
When did you. Start. Twin. Talk. Tuesday do. A. Life hack. Video.
I'm so Alexis, the thought of me getting in trouble upset me as a child😞😞
Raaven Holland Same😞😞
Raaven Holland what’s your horoscope ?
At 7:50 Alexis asked such an important question! I find it fascinating that at such a young age she’s asking for clarity on what it means to talk back. It shows maturity and her wanting to avoid trouble. Growing up in an African household, there was no such thing as expressing your thoughts or feelings. It’s interesting because I still struggle expressing my thoughts and feelings to my mom as an adult. She believes everything I say and do is rude and disrespectful when all I’m doing is expressing my opinion. I understand tone and body language contributes to delivery in a message so, I’m VERY CAREFUL with how I talk to her but still I’m rude. Lmao so at this point I choose to stay silent and growing up I was always silent. I only spoke when needed and still do.
This is such an important video and I hope all parents take the time to sit down with their kid and have this conversation with them. Teach your kid how to be respectful but don’t silence them. Allow them to express themselves in a respectful manner. But you have to teach them!
So true, I was told a child should be seen and not heard and then they sent me to my room😕
Africa is not that bad
"And you're STILL gonna wear the shoes!" 😂😂😂 Exactlyyyy
Keep doing what you are doing, talking and teaching with a lot of patience. I commend you and Justin on being the best parents you can possibly be.
Yes the talking back doesn’t stop! My kids are 12 and 13 and my daughter has a smart mouth and my son thinks he grown so it doesn’t stop you just have to stay on top of it
Sometimes Ami comes across as clashing more with Ava.
She is young, trying too hard to tame her might make her coil into her shell.
I find Ava as confident and deep thinker.
Moreso give Ava a chance to express hetself, trying too hard to control her might backfire
Recently she frequently says Ava is more difficult. If she is not careful it will come true. Plus Alexis is crying out for positive recognition.
Let Ami raise her children as she sees fit. She’s training them for life and life lessons are important in child rearing. They will not always be little cute girls they will be big beautiful women someday and the beauty must be more than skin deep. Anyone who watches often will notice that Ava is sometimes domineering and gets an attitude when she doesn’t get to dominate. She also does it with lots of attitude. It’s her personality we get it....but she can learn how to take turns in life. Turn taking in conversation is good manners. Being expressive cannot be mistaken for poor manners. Neither can domineering be equated with being expressive.
@@maxxitee4761 well spoken!
I agree, I don't like that at all. Alexis is a kiss up. They same to favor her over Ava. I love Ava more because of this.

2fly4thedrama it’s just the generation most kids act like that when they turn that age bc their starting to understand how to do more things than before
@@sxniaa exactly
Niia this is a unavoidable cycle shaped like a trapezoid
I think all children do this especially independent strong minded children, they will challenge their parents at times. Good communication, proper discipline & praise is a key to being tactful. However, a tactic that works one day may not work the next it's mind boggling raising children they are illogical at times when it comes to a parent's reasoning.
YES, I remember that age, my daughter, is 13 an OMG. Just stay consistent with reminding them of their manners, words and being respectful to parents and each other.
I am LIVING for this look today!!! Omg the color and the hair-gorgeous!!! 🧚

I'm the Alexis in work meetings: What are we here to talk about??? Let's get to it lol
No fr that's how I feel like they had better things to do
Alexis I’ve just noticed has a distinct tic which is more pronounced when she’s upset or stressing bless her 💕
I've noticed that too
Ava the diva.Bullies Alexis and her mom
Ava is going to become a lawyer 😂😂❤❤😘
I felt them when they said they don't even know when they talk back. I thought I was the coolest kid who doesn't talk back until I started Expressing myself and tht was regarded as "talking back". You are blessed to have kids tht talk freely to you...yes they need discipline with attitude..but dont let them be scared of you.. I grew up being scared of my father not bcoz I was scared he was gonna hit me..coz he never did. But to talk to him like a father, ask for advices e.t.c...I still can't do that..he is trying to get me to talk in every way but I'm just not there.. I'm glad they are open minded
This video definitely shows the difference between the girls!! And it was an eye opener to how they actually raise the girls and discipline them. A lot of times people think that children who are popular on social media don't get disciplined a lot or that they get away with everything. This was a good video!
Ava squeezed Alexis and we witnessed 🧐
She's mean to Ava I hate that

Jay Jay that’s the other way around Ava is more mean to Alexis
@@millicentanaman7614 nooooo, I know that but Ami is more strict to Ava than Alexis could it be that she is 1 minute older

When they talk back you discipline them and tell them to clean small areas in the house and when they do good in school and behave well you reward them with a toy or an educational toy
I really feel sad when Alexi pleads for Ava to let her talk as well and even though she is given a chance to talk, she talks less and then Ava picks up from there again!!!

I love Alexis too I have no beef with her or Ava
Hi, Ami
First, I want to say I'm a 55 year old African American woman in Chicago. I want to comment on the "back talk " issue. It seems the problem is the "attitude" with the back talk. I was just like the girls. I only knew how to speak the way I felt at the moment. Just like Ava and Alexis, I didn't know it was with attitude. You may have to sit them down individually and address the "attitude". You and Justin are teaching them that they can say what is on their mind with respect, albeit . This means with the two of you, also.This is the only way they are going to speak their minds with others. Raising kids to have a healthy self- esteem is hard.
I love Twin talk Tuesday!
Y'all look so cute in your outfits.
thank you!
I love Ava's attitude 😂😂😂...she my best
There is nothing wrong with using some of the methods our parents used. People are allowing kids to run the house. I'm grateful of how I was raised. I've seen your girls around other kids from youtube and it was embarrassing for the other kids because the twins were so well behaved and mannerable. So you are doing something right.
Ami, I love the way you and Justin talk to the kids, I did this with mine and my 3 year old was spelling the word ambulance. It makes a big difference when you don’t talk baby talk from birth. I have 3 girls that was raised between me and God, they grew up to be beautiful inside and outside, and college educated. So when people say kids need a two parent home, try raising them with God in the mix, I also didn’t spank my children for everything, and you have to let them express themselves. When my girls would throw a tantrum, I waited until they were done, then talk to them and tell them, that they need to channel their anger in a better way and to never let other people see them act that way. Then I would tell them to use their words and talk to me.
"I'll tell dada to cut that out"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The more Alexis tried to speak both of the strong McClure females, Ava and Momma talked her down and her tics got more and more pronounced awwww 🥰
I noticed too :/ little nervous ticks... I have something similar just not in my face, in my speech
It’s what makes you unique 🌸
Thats so sad. They needs build confidence in her she seems so insecure and she is clearly sensitive
Good girl
Omg, Ava is the female equivalent of my son, nothing seems to be their fault ever, and slyly minipulative, that pinch was so sneaky, but I must say Ami you and Justin are doing an awesome job with them.
This topic is cool. I hope they listen, hopefully they will change and stop talking back. It is actually good that their mom has started talking about that issue because it won't be very nice when they are grown and used to talking back attitude. They will change for good. If their parents keep talking about it over time they will stop doing it.
My 7 yr old son talks back. He went from an angel to talking back and I talk to him just like you talk to the girls.
Lol when Mama McClure said, "The day is young, give it time" I felt that.
Ava started a whole new conversation “if u try stuff you might like it” like girllll
Oh boooooooooy! The girls are growing up! Waaaaaah! However, I am so glad to see Momma McClure is not accepting the attitudes. It is good you are having this conversation now, because as they continue to grow, and their celebrity grows, they will hear so much from the world that may inflate their egos. I love Momma & Dada for being who you are as parents. Firm, fair, and loving!!! This is the age known as the testing phase. As they begin to experience their independence (reference to making choices); they begin to push boundaries, and as parents we must help them become respectfully assertive, but NIP unwanted behavior when it begins! #real #twintalk #Tuesday 👯♀️👩❤️💋👩👭💖💖
My girls, 5 and 7, have been watching Ava and Alexis for some time now. This video was on their tablet this evening and I just wanted to tell you, we relate to many of these things! It was a great teaching moment! Thank you!
I like their personality and how they expresses their feelings.
Yes it's a dialogue
