So, special needs kids are God’s gift to the planet in one way or another. Speech issues gives the gift of sharpening our “telepathic” abilities as humans. Gabe’s dad almost said it. We are all telepathic but we are taught to dumb it down as we grow, these kids are coming in numbers to help humanity cultivate this innate gift. They are truly brave souls that come with such selfless missions❤❤❤.
Mom and cameraman I admire you both. a lot of people around the world don't have that much courage. All the love everyone is writing about in the comments comes from you💖 Nick started the channel, but you created the universe together. It's a wonderful thing that entertains people, teaches them and makes them better parents, siblings and people in general💖I'm honored to be able to watch this and I love what you say and show not only to your fans but to the whole world💖 Thank you
Thank you so much Jarmila 💙💙💙 your comment floored us and made us all smile. And right on the mark, this channel is made by all of us. And a shoutout to mom and dad! Lots of love to you from all of us ❤️
@@SafierUniverse Thank you Safiers💖
Hi
M,mbmnh:: …. S vbćgˋbb& fsv. Dcv´
You are a great person and family for the way you are to Gabe I love watching you daily ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for giving me more information on Down Syndrome. Some people think, people with special needs are not going to make it in this world. I rebuke that. Take care and God Bless
You could not have a Better Friend and Sibling like Gabe.
We all have off days and need to express how we feel. The problem is how we express those feelings and the consequences we pay for behaving inappropriately.
Gabe; You're one amazing young man. Thank you for sharing your life and family with us. Gabe, I'm sending hugs and nose kisses.
People like Gabe is why I became a Special Education teacher. Everywhere I went someone with Down Syndrome would come over to me. Once I was in the park studying and 3 down syndrome adult's, on an outing, come over to me. They took my hands and tried to pull me over to their groups location. One of the adults in charge kept telling them no. I informed the adult that it was okay and asked if I could join them. I had so much fun. I will always remember that day.
Thank you 🙏🏼 for inspiration videos you post , me and my 7 years old daughter love to watch every single video , I have 13 years old son he is Down syndrome he doesn’t talk but he is very fun loving boy like Gabey ❤and my 7 years old daughter loves her brother so much they have a amazing relationship… and after watching you guys videos my daughter was saying mama when I get little older I will make video me and dada , dada means brother 😊thank you so much all the videos you post , it’s just amazing.. amazing family’s
Always a connection somehow. Had a cousin with down syndrome. They have more love then you will ever know. Gabe is filled to the top with love.
I took have a cousin with Downs syndrome. She is happy and thriving in NY. She loves people, but she had a evil streak with me. She loved to trip me and laugh.
Vicki Koster; That is so true.
Absolutely, on the nail 💙 big hugs to you and yes, unconditional love
A precious brother to brother relationship ❤️ beautiful
I had a cousin also with down syndrome and she did the same actions but loved a lot
This is a rich conversation. My autistic brother was the happiest little guy in his first 10 years, then his next 20 years were filled with bitterness and anger and no one but me could get through to him. I love seeing how Gabe seems to work through his day to day life...
Thank you for sharing you story. I'm a retired behavioral specialist and special education teacher. I love watching the relationship with Nick and Gabe and I'm so reluctant to offer an unsolicited thought for you to consider. When individuals have behaviors their consequences need to be natural consequences. Gabe's natural consequence was to not be able to attend his program the following day. If he was truly missing his sister, taking away his call to Grandma was taking away another important person in his life even only for a moment. All behavior has a function, its either to avoid something unpleasant or to gain power and control of a situation. I've worked in public schools, community day programs like Gabe's, Residential and Hospital programs before I retired. My note is meant to be helpful and not intrusive. I hope you have a great holiday.
Gabe is such a happy soul and a sweetheart I always watch ur shorts 🥰love when he wants to wear the same clothes as u and when he made u change for a date 😁love watching both of your bond together so sweet:)) he's so intellegant and loving 🥰
You made me cry, I have a sister with down syndrome, I'm her care and I would not take nothing for her, she my love, and yes sometimes she go's off I just love her till it gets better, thank you so much for the video I just love and the hold family, love Gabe laughter,
Thanks for all you do with Gabe it's so special ❤️
I had a brother in law with down syndrome he was such a sweet person and had so much love Gabe is such a loving g person too Your videos are wonderful they always make my day all of You are amazing people
I am so happy Gabey is doing better after what happened that day. We ALL are human beings, Gabriel EQUALLY so. He has rough moments just like every other person on this planet does. I think the Safier family has things firmly under control, y'all are doing EXACTLY what is best for him, as you are the ones who know him best. You are loving on him, helping him navigate boundaries and consequences in a loving and supportive manner, and showing him that everyone else loves and supports him too. Just keep doing what you have been doing all along, Safier family. I don't think Gabriel could have been born into a better, more loving family.
2 days after my 4th birthday my mom gave me a baby brother, he passed away in his sleep 7 weeks later. He had water on his brain, and it burst. Had he lived he would have had a lot of health issues and autism. I often wonder about him and what he would have been like. I'm the 2nd eldest of 12 and he is the only one to have this problem. I think God knew how tough it would be on my family and took him to him and I know someday I will meet him
Thanks for sharing Gabe with us. Love you all like family.
@@margeelliott1846 I am so terribly sorry to hear about what happened. I am othe only living child my parents produced. I would have had a younger brother but there was a miscarriage involved mid - term. I, too, wonder what mine would have been like, what he would look like, and who he would be. We will meet our respective brothers one day. Thankfully, I got married and inherited 2 big brothers (I married the baby), the older of which is married so I inherited a sister, 2 nieces, and a nephew too. Plus my husband's parents, who are like my own now. Also got more cousins, aunts, and uncles now than I could possibly count, in addition to the 6 biological cousins, 2 biological uncles, and 3 biological aunts on my dad's side. My mom and I are both only children.
Such a wonderful example of unconditional love in this family...
Did.......r.. future....t....rare....baby
🥰💙🥰💙💙💙
The love that these children share and give is unblemished, uncut and unpolished. It's
priceless.
Sometimes silence is louder than words
Love you guys sooo much ! You and you’re family are a blessing to all of us ! Your videos make my days much better and I smile ! I just love Gabe ! Love y’all ! 💙💙🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oh my goodness, I love Gabe’s “triple fingers” heart sign for I love you !!💝
I so appreciate your honesty and trust. It can be a little intimidating to be transparent at times. Your compassion and wisdom to handle Gabe's off days. It reminds me that humans are not perfect and there is really no such thing as normal. Every day presents a new normal
Hello Safier family, my younger sister has Down’s syndrome, and it is beautiful to watch your videos. Because people with Downs are so lovable and joyful, I find that people (outside my own family) expect them to be super happy ALL the time, they have feelings just like all of us. My sister was suspended from her day centre twice for refusing to partake in activities (for a day at a time), and it transpired that she was being bullied there by another attendee. Your family are right, these comments help everyone. I hope that Gabe is feeling happier now ❤. Love to your family 🥰
The nose kiss it’s lovely...❤
People need good around and positive relationships, we miss good love goodness.You are beautiful with your Family 💙💙💙💙.With Love from Poland
I have a slight learning disability myself and I’m 43 I had trouble with reading writing I still do and I live on my own and I have a 13-year-old daughter who lives with my sister and she also had a slight learning disability but I have a lot of other problems as well epilepsy depression anxiety panic attacks and her issues but I don’t let that define who I am and I love watching your RUclips channel and your RUclips shorts it’s amazing to see you guys together
U and all of ur family and others are so blessed to have Gabe in ur life
I love the brother bond you have. I love following your story, please keep on posting.
My great aunt had Downs & we lost her about 10 years ago. Your videos have gotten me thru a weepy christmas season (in the best way!). She actually quit talking to anyone for about 15 years. No one knew why & we just learned to follow her lead. Then on christmas morning (2008) she just asked my papa, her big brother, to hand her something. Our jaws dropped & we all started clapping and cheering. It was the best sound EVER. She then proceeded to call every person she knew & she chattered nonstop for the remaining years we had with her. Im not sure what my point is. Your videos have just brought up some very happy memories. Gabe is absolutely wonderful & the bond you have with your family is so awesome to experience. Thank you for sharing these moments. They really do mean a lot to so many different people!
I don't have people with Downs in my family, but families at church do; I'm sharing this channel with them. It's so positive and loving. Definitely one of the best on RUclips! I know they will appreciate the resource.
Cynthia thank you so much for the love and for what you said. This ability to connect here and be able to be a voice for so many families is truly a power and a gift 💙 much love to you
My brother is special needs also but different from Gabe. He has severe speech delay and started getting therapy around 3yrs old. Now he's doing ok and just turned 32 last week.
So lovely watching you .. . 👍. Gabe is so fortunate for having a loving family especially his brother . I have a son with Downs Syndrome and he is 21 now . I know and feel God has given us to look after his Angells because He knows that we can . AlmytyGod bless you all .
God blessed beautiful family 🙏
I am so impressed that Nick shows such love with Gabe❣️As well as rest of the incredible family 😊
My cousin has always been a good talker, expressing himself. He's 57 now and definitely my best friend love him dearly xxx Gabe is wonderful young man 💗 and we all have our off days xxx
Thanks for sharing Nick. I worked with the Starkey Foundation in Wichita, and for two years worked with (persons served) Down Syndrome people. I loved that job. They taught me more than I taught them. Angels from heaven.
Thank You!
. I have a son with autisum and sometimes he cannot say what he wants.. Not everyday is easy and I think it is important to share and educate people. Hugs from canada
God bless you all 🙏❤️😘
Thank you for keeping it real. I know have seen a comment here and there where a couple particular individuals thought everything you do is pre-planned and just for show. That’s on them though for not seeing enough of your videos to understand what you are trying to accomplish. Unfortunately, there will always be some who will be skeptical regardless of what you do or don’t do. You are an incredible human being, Nick and I love to see the love and bond that you have with your whole family, but especially with Gabe. You just keep doing you and don’t worry about the skeptics out there!
Let me start by saying how much I love the show . Having a special needs child is hard work and a lot of ups and downs. But well worth it. My grandson Everett is six . He has autism . If he wanted something he would take your hand and show you . Then he went to words . He would get so frustrated at me if I couldn’t figure out what he wanted. It would break my heart ❤️. My daughter Morgan is an 👼 angel sent by god . She has such patients and a gentle heart. I give her credit for working with him and teaching him what it looks like to be sad ,mad, angry ,happy and knowing what they mean. He’s turning seven in a couple of months. He is now speaking sentences. I’m so very proud of both of them . There are no words that can express the love I have for him. ❤
You guys are amazing and are doing wonderful job !
Love you!!
This entire family is absolutely beautiful loving kind. I watch this every day I love the relationship between Gabe and his brother it's so endearing
I love watching you two act the way you do with each other. The connections you have are amazing and true. I really do think that you have shown the world that this is what happens and this is how you help him. Keep up the great work and showing us how he gets his points over to the you and the family. Love the RUclips videos.
So Happy when y'all come on . My son is Down Syndrome and y'all know the never ending Love they give . They told me he would not live to be 4 years old He surprised them . My son is so much like Gabe sometimes my son was that way and I didn't know what to do . Love y'all so much . Thanks for all y'all do . Love From Illinois ❤️❤️❤️
Hi from the UK I hope you are all well 😘❤️😘❤️
I have just joined the Safier universe yesterday and I just love these videos, they do make my day. Gabe is such a sweetheart who always makes me smile 😃 The relationship you all have with him and him with you is an inspiration.
I have worked with children and adults with learning difficulties including Down’s syndrome and I can’t imagine how difficult and frustrating is is for Gabe when he is having an off day and knows he’s having an off day but just can’t express how he is feeling in his own way and in a way that is understood by others.
In my work we used visual aids to prompt like pictures that our clients would pick out. That would give some small indication about the underlying issue but sometimes it could be the last thing they remember that’s not necessarily related. So sometimes it’s harder to get to the bottom of it. Sometimes the build up could have started a few days before. So there could have been different things there that triggered behaviour. It would have been a case of looking at events leading up to that and finding out which one was most important to them.
His relationship with each member of the family is just so beautiful to watch especially with Nick and Kira, you’re his idol. Who better to lovingly teach and support Gabe in navigating the world around him.. Gabe is such a beautiful, sweet soul who is also teaching us about empathy, understanding, love and compassion
Sending you all lots of love and a huge hug from me to you Gabe 😘 ❤🤗❤
That was such a lovely video. So much love permeates your whole family.
They guy saying everything’s not always rosy is true. Nobody would want to hurt your feelings. So didn’t say anything.
You all were so loving & caring! Who’d want to spoil that!
Back when first started watching. I wondered how in reality it would be ok. Everytime he kisses your nose. He gets his way.
In the real world this wouldn’t happen.
If when anything would happen to any of you. He’d have to go with others.
Always getting his way with not work with strangers. They would think badly of him. Think he was spoiled.
I’m a nurse. Worked with disabilities & downs. First thing they told me. They can’t have their way all the time. Some reacted with fury.
Was just worried about him in the future.
So glad you’ve made him such a happy life! Many don’t get that! 👍🥰😍
I also have to make a huge shout out to Mom and Dad. You guys are awesome. My parents couldn't handle my brother and I am blessed and frightened by the fact that I've been responsible for him since I was 8 years old.
You shouldn't be thanking us, we thank you and your family for brightening up our lives, I could watch you all day, I never feel down when watching you all. Thank you. X
There needs to be a lot more families like you guys the guys are an inspiration
Thank you for expressing your thoughts on comments you have received. Everyone has bad days, it was important to understand why Gabe had been having his bad day. That in itself shows people who have children with special needs that it is important to try and figure out why it has happened and how best to find that out. We all struggle sometimes to find a way to help our loved ones. I certainly do. Thank you for ALL your videos especially the one going for ingredients it was inspiring x
I am so privileged to have spent a lot of time with special needs children with Down syndrome . They taught me to be patient and let them have their space. They show a lot of love and careing towards others. What I learnt has helped me with my own children. Gabe is such a loving sole and has a sweet personality. l love watching your videos ❤
We love gabe what ever he dus sending lots of hugs I have a nephew with downs and he is very Hanson and loving ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m really grateful that your family shows ALL aspects of what it means to have a family member that can’t always be what everyone wants them to be 100% of the time. It’s also wonderful that you didn’t “over discipline “ Gabe! When my son with intellectual disabilities has an off day with his staff, it is important to follow through (like disallowing the sleep over,) but then making staying home a fun time! (Let’s face it, when any of us have a bad day, do we get punished for not quite being ourselves?!). My son and I usually “play hooky” the next day, and take in a movie and lunch!! Does wonders for both mental health and our bond to each other!! I can only imagine how hard it must be for Gabe to miss his twin. They love each other in a way only twins can understand. Thank God he has the rest of his family to help him feel better when Kira can’t be there. Bravo to your family, and the endless source of love you have for each other!! ❤❤❤❤.
I love this family!! Love the connection, bond, love, respect. I can't stop watching your videos! Love u all! God Bless❤
I love your energy and your efforts to create awareness for all people with special needs ..my view of people with special needs is that they all have special qualities ..love you guys see you n the universe 😘👍🤗
@7:21 when Gabe yawned and "politely" covered his mouth speaks volumes to the quality of learned behavior y'all, as a loving family, have taught him! I have seen grown adults rudely yawn and moan and you can practically see their tonsils!! We all can take several lessons from Gabe! I love you guys; thanks for being authentic and sharing your lives with us. 🙏🥰
Quit being rube so special to nicky.
Please read again, I was giving Gabe a COMPLIMENT!!! His family taught him well! ❤
Communication is Key. No matter how He dioes it, You will get it sooner or later. You all are doing an Awesome Job. There's a lot of Love. Where there is Love there is a lot of Joy. God Bless You All. ❤You .
Not just breaking boundaries but educating.. those of us who dont know.
This is heartwarming it gives positive ways on how to deal with someone who got Down Syndrome and an inspiration too , & conversation is really important.
Hi there I found your RUclips page by seeing a short. I love the bond you and the family have. My cousin has Down Syndrome but I didn't grow up with him. But my father has ALS and he can't speak and he's on an emotional rollercoaster. That's all we can do is give them space and let them know that we're there with love and support. Thank you for your channel
Your parents are a strength! There was no artifice, they were two parents, talking honestly.
It’s a beautiful thing to witness. Xx
Gabriel is a loving gift that keep giving. God bless you.
Thank you.
Two adult sons,- one chronic pain- the other a body builder with type one diabetes.
A nightmare.
I recently found your channel and like so many...
You guys rock!
Thank you.
Gabe, thank you.
Ms. Kitty
I love watching your videos,I have a grand daughter with downs and she' an inspiration to us all as is Gabe .Watching how you all work together with encouragement,love and dedication for each other is fantastic.

Gabe your a great guy with a "Big Heart" and a great love of life. Love you Saftronauts. xxx
Knowing more helps me to understand. Thank you for sharing. You are making a difference in the world!! 💗💗💗
I appreciate the "honesty" in your videos! Life is full of ups and downs for all of us- Gabe included!
Aww over these type of videos. I love them all but these are great. Gabe is so adorable & I just want to hug him. LOL
i love watching you play this video i am special needs myself i am 33 years old i am glad i am i have a wonderful sweet family and friends i love being around them so very much i care about
I absolutely love you all ❤️. Whether I'm having a hard time with my brain cancer or something your videos make my day every day and I appreciate you all so much!!! ❤️🎗️
🙏🥰👋
I love how open and honest you all are with your everyday life and struggles. You are an inspiration to all families. Thank you ❤
I love Gabe he is an inspiration. Wether he is up or down, it shows how to deal with someone who doesn't always understand
I want to know how he tells you what he wants for xmas and birthday. I have terminal cancer and Gabe puts the sunshine light on. You are one heck of a family unit. Love n hugs xx
Hi again from Bloemfontein, SA. I just love the way Gabe sits with his arm , half leaning over/into you. So casual.....!! Lots of ❤. Cindy.
I love your videos. I am a teacher and I have worked with all kinds of special needs people. From infants to adults. They show so much love that you you feel so special to. I dont treat them any different or make them feel different from anyone else. I have cousins that are special needs. Yall show how much Gabe means to yall and how much yall mean to him. I can go on and on about it. I fight for them and stand up for them.
You are always awesome Nicholas. Gabe is the luckiest to have you as a brother. God bless.
I think all of you are amazing people. I love Gabe. He's so sweet.
Usually people with DS after very affectionate and i think. Gabe gets unconditional love from his family. I've worked at National Centre of a Autism. It was a joy and helped me to appreciate my regular kids differently. Love and blessings to your family 💕 💕
Wonderful family!
You as a family give Gabriel so much love and what you give him, he gives back with his amazing heart💜
Unconditional love is so important in the world💜
I hope you see my comment and look forward to a new video.
God bless you &
Sunny greetings from Switzerland🇨🇭
Love all your videos, so nice to see you two together🥰. The best thing is when Gabe kisses your nose, sweetest thing ever (and I tear up every time as I believe or maybe I should say that I feel so much love between the two of you). Needless to say y’all are so blessed 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for sharing, you are not alone. Love from France 🇫🇷
We love you too. Seeing Gabey hugging you Nick makes my heart happy ❤. You are the best big brother ever. Love to the whole family ❤
This legit is the best thing that has happened to me today. Thank you so much! I love you guys, and look up to Gabe as a role model ❤️
Your family is full of so much love 💖 you all warm my heart 🥰
I love you all! God is blessing you with an angel, Gabe! Btw, I saw Harry Potter butter beer candy at five and below store! Hopefully you can find it. ❤️
Thanks for this heartwarming but direct video. Before I retired I was privileged to be a support staff for mentally but not love challenged adults. Wasn't I just a lucky to get payed for such a blessing. They helped me much more than I helped them. Did they have off days? Of course but don't we all? We are all in thus together ❤💛💜💕♥💙. LOL from Carole and the kittens 😻😽🥰.
I have a deep appreciation for your family. I have CP so I understand some tough things. I also have several close friends with Down Syndrome. Those friends bring me such joy.
My younger brother had Down syndrome; he didn't walk until he was sixteen and never learned to talk. And, still, he had a wicked sense of humor. His teachers weren't sure if he was a good candidate for ASL. He learned a few words and could apply them to objects as well as concepts. What I learned from that was to not limit people with my own conceptions or misconceptions. I learned not to put limits on him and became a better advocate.
I admire your family and how loving you are. ❤️
That was so heartwarming ☺️, having seen the previous video where Gabe wasn’t himself, that you open your hearts to your saftranauts and show us how much you all love each other, and what a wonderful family you are to Gabe, and the amazing joy and love he brings you.
Wrapping virtual arms around you all for huge hugs 🤗 🥰
❤❤❤ Your family is amazing and so inspirational. Thank you
They have so much love and they are so beautiful
As always, great video. Thank you all! ❤️👍🏻
Dear Mom,Dad,Nick,Kira and Gabe you are a warm,loving family and I admire how you all share your life in hopes people understand
more of what life with Down Syndrome is for Gabe but also for the family. Life is not always sunshine and roses and you showing
us the off days, the days where things are not fine is pretty brave. But it gives us a real look into your lives. You are all amazing
and Gabe you will get through your though days because you have a family that loves you.
I’ve been that God looks for special families that have lots of love to give to grace them with a special child. God choose you and He did a good job. The love you show is amazing. I appreciate that you show the bad days as well as the good days. Gabe is lucky to have you but your family is very lucky to have Gabe in your life. ❤
What a wonderful beautiful mom
Such a wonderful supportive family.
We all have days when we are in a funky mood and can't explain why, I had one yesterday. I am sending supercharged prayers of love and peace to your family.
I personally do not know anyone with a special needs child. However through my job I talk to many people who have specail needs children. This channal is giving me a better understanding of what these parnets are going through. Thank you for that. And all of you sharing your lives is very inspiring. Nick your parents are inspiring in showing you and Kira how to love Gabe and to be accepting that he has needs. A lot of times I feel that people with special needs still want to be treated with respect and dignity and all of you are doing that!
I love how you try and understand Gabe and his needs you are doing such a good job of raising him. Keep up the good work.
My son Down Syndrome 29 years old now I feel you all yes indeed 😊 Listen carefully as well when they're saying things too.😊
Love that I found you on you tube...I've worked with all ages with different challenges.....and it's TRUE about how much love they show.Was a job I had but to me it never felt like it was a job.when you love being there every day....I had some of the best experiences of my
life.When you walk through the door and they want hugged or held.....best thing ever!!!!!
We all have our bad days. So Grabriel is no different than any other person, but, this is very helpful and informative on how you deal with his bad days. I'm a foster care social worker and though I don't have any children that I deal with have down syndrome as of yet, I do have children that are autistic and some are just troubled by their personal life that they are dealing with. Foster care children do need extra care, understanding and patience and your videos help me help them. Its inspirational on how honest and pure your videos are. I'm learning so much. Thank you and God Bless!! 😊😊
I admire your family so much ,for sharing your life with a child with Down Syndrome . Gave looks like a very special person .
I love these and your family for doing this.
Every one has good and bad days so being comforting and supportive is a good thing to help him
My grandparents adopted 3 ♿ children before and after I was born. Two with Downs, they are the best people to be with. I worked with all special needs. So much in life can be better than any schoolroom. Life good and bad. Xoxoxoxo
We all have bad days sometimes ❤❤❤ gosh school can’t handle it? Maybe they need more love and patience! So what!!! We love Gabe and family.
Love all your guys’ video. Truly makes my day. I have adhd and pervasive personality disorder and a lot of other things.And it makes me feel so good that y’all do these videos for everyone else who has or has not a person who has a person who is disabled. Love y’all.
