#kids #parenting #singing
I lost it when she said her son didn't speak for 2 years and 8 months and his first words were "momma". You know Ms.Rachel waited every minute everyday waiting to hear that beautiful word. We love Ms.Rachel at our household.
😅😅 q qp
I lost it when they showed the guys daughter making the hand signal. Both my girls (1 & 3) are behind and I see them both do this same signal everyday.
Glad im not the only one. I really cried…. Becoming a mother changes you emotionally lol

Rachel, if you read this, thank you for everything. My 2 year old has a developmental delay, and your videos have not only encouraged us, but made this whole experience feel more "normal" and supported. I wish you could see the look on our faces when he responds to your prompts! You are the true MVP for many parents!!! THANK YOU!
ㅑㄴ너
She is fantastic!!!!!! They all are! Something I catch myself singing even when I’m not around my grandson is that sticky bubble gum song lol
That’s exactly how we found her! My now 4 year old WHO CANT STOP TALKING didn’t say his first word until he was 2 and a half and it was still all stuck in his throat, and not coming out. Then we discovered Mrs. Rachel, and it was AMAZING to finally find someone/something that helped that wasn’t over saturated! Pinterest is amazing, but it can be very overwhelming for a parents who’s trying to find simplistic information!
Probably got the delay FROM Rachel.
I'm so preggo that I practically cried through this video. I am so grateful for how Ms. Rachel has positively impacted my 21 month old from when he was only under a year. He knows so much (including few sign language gestures) and I can attribute it to watching Ms. Rachel every morning. ❤
When I read the first few worlds I sung it to the tune of “I’m so happy”
I'm not preggo and I cried through the whole video
My baby is 8m and I'm crying right now, hiding in the comments lolol 😭😂 she is so great!!!
@@southernbelle2478 that's what I was going to say😂🤧😥
I love that she teaches sign language! It helped my son communicate to me when I couldn’t understand his gibberish. She’s taught both him and I so much! I love her!
Ironic how I discovered her videos not through the internet but by word of mouth. Parents actually talk about her and recommend her videos. My son loves and has learned a lot from the interactive videos. Thank you Ms Rachel!
That’s exactly how we learned about Ms. Rachel! All of my friends who are parents LOVE Ms. Rachel!
Exactly me too
So did I, I’d never even heard of her until someone mentioned her channel
Same! A coworker was talking about her and I looked her up and my little has been watching her since 4 months. She is 10 months now and can say dada, baba, and Hi so far we are now working on mama
My son had a speech delay and miss Rachel has helped us SO MUCH. We also love all the other cast members and appreciate their work so much. You guys are like extended members of our family!
So you mean the teacher is a star to little babies? The title is so misleading.
What do you mean that the title is “misguiding”?
I was anti-screen time for my son until Ms.Rachel. She's the only show we allow him to watch in moderation and he lights up like a christmas tree whenever she comes out.
Same here !
Same!!
Same ❤
@@user-eh3zz5jg9i I don't disagree with that. My 1.5 yr old watches Ms. Rachel and select programs. I also managed a library up in WA where I would have to teach 70+ year olds how to use computers because they didn't move with the times. I'd have to tell them that it was no longer acceptable to ask Staff to just do things for them on computers. It monopolized Staff time. Because of the growing demand to do almost anything electronically, I would have to be firm and tell them that Library Staff would no longer "do things" for them, we would instead get them back on track, help remove hurdles, find resources, etc. We even did weekly Tech-Help where they could bring their devices in and we could help them trouble-shoot. But it's extremely important for everyone to understand technology and tablets, computers, phones, they're all powerful tools. But on the flip side, my 7 year old has noticeable issues with managing emotions, energy, critical thinking, attention, willpower, and creativity if we allow him too much time with screens. I think the sensible position with this topic is limited screens, or at least curated activities/programming when using them for kids. We're about to get our 7 year old into Coding so I'm definitely a proponent of screens when used responsibly.
Same❤
YES! I was just talking to my husband about how Ms. Rachel is the best screen time there is because it actually is interactive for our daughter. Our daughter hops and laughs and interacts with a real person on the screen. She's so good!
Omg yes! My daughter also had a speech delay and started speech therapy and began watching Ms. Rachel on youtube thanks to my husband, who found her when we searched helplessly for different teaching methods. A couple of months of speech therapy and zero change.. we decided to get rid of speech therapy and strictly show our daughter Ms.Rachel since that caught her attention much more and we literally saw reaults within 3 months and now my 3 1/2 year speaks full sentences to where as a year ago only knew "mama". I definitely recommend Ms.Rachel to any parent ❤️ the sparkle in my kids eyes when they hear her voice is undescribable.
@CaramelSwatches yes my daughter had a delay but wasn't interacting at all with speech therapy and showed zero interest to the learning method being used with her. So no it wasn't just her speech delay. All children learn differently but maybe you wouldn't understand because you don't have a child in this situation. So keep your bitter and negative comments to yourself 🙂
@@CaramelSwatches Mommyx3 tolllllllldddddddd you 😂
Man… We have definitely contributed to the billions of views… my boys are 11 months they say Mama, Dada, Baby, etc. They sign and dance along with the shows… Ms. Rachel has helped so much with their development! She deserves all of the things!! I love her story!!
Ms. Rachel is an absolute treasure.
My son had 2 words at 18 months. He’s now 2 and has 400+
All thanks to this lady here
I have been doing signs with my daughter since I got home from the hospital (5 weeks after she got home😢). Her daddy thought I was crazy…that is until she could tell us when she wanted “milk” and “more” and was “all done” herself. THEN I found Miss Rachel and she was doing a lot of the things I’d been doing on my own and my daughter LOVES her SO MUCH!! It’s like Miss Rachel is our friend bc we all do the songs right along with her. My daughter turned 1 in October and LOVES music (of all kinds) and she started “singing” along because of this show. Her first time was to her “Row row your boat, if you see a crocodile don’t forget to scream” and she’s been doing the scream for MONTHS. She follows along to all of the songs now.
BLIPPI and COCOMELON WHO????!!
My daughter always does the scream too🤣
My daughter too!
My daughter too 😚🤣 I love the scream part 🤣
That is the freakin cutest🥰 my baby loves all the raindrops, and any song that involves hopping 🥰 he even knows how to hop now 😍
@@mlolvera91 My daughter, TOO!! Those are probably her two favorite, especially the hopping song. Her dad and I sing that song even when she’s not in the room. Lol. Now I’m singing the “Uh Oh” song ALL OF THE TIME, too. I think that’s a new favorite since she started saying “uh oh.”
Thank you, Ms Rachel ❤❤❤
My 2 year old son has speech delay and he loves to watch your videos. Now, he's starting to talk little by little. He was born Dec 2019 and with the pandemic..your videos helped a lot 😍😍😍
I live in the UK and I discovered Ms Rachel in 2021 when my son was 12months and hadn't said a word including "Mama" then I came across "Songs for littles". I honestly did not care if he developed an accent because I was desperate. She helped him learn the words "mama..daddy..jump..bubble pop!..hand gestures for milk stop! More! Etc" He loves "the banana song, wheel on the bus, zoo song etc.
When we went for our 27months developmental and speech review, I was told this "your son is doing amazing" a song every parent wants to hear. I can't thank Ms Rachel enough.
We need more Mrs Rachels in this world
The feedback of parents/guardians are overwhelmingly positive.
Rachel, if you're reading these, I can't thank you enough!!! My son is 26 months and has speech and developmental delays and hasn't said his first word yet. I joined a lot of facebook groups for parents with speech delays and I kept hearing about you! Screen time is such a controversial topic, but I never worry about screen time when my son is watching you. He's picking up on the motions of some of the songs and then clapping when it's over! I feel so connected to you as a mom in the same position you were in. I literally teared up listening to your story - we're not alone in this journey. Thank you so much for all you do! We love you!!!
Thank you Ms. Rachel for making my job as a pediatric speech pathologist a little bit easier! You are doing great work ❤
Why am i literally crying! Im so proud of ms. Rachel, she is such an amazing mom and teacher. Im so greatful, she has helped both my kids so much!
I cried too! She seems so genuine. So happy for her success.
Crying again as well!
She is a gift from god. My son was diagnosed with ASD level 3 and is 3. Barely talked, I found her through his therapist and he says so many words now. I am so great-full for her and every kid she helps ❤
With our assistance, our little one has learned so much through her videos. Our bun is so attentive and loves repeating the lessons and songs learned.
This is how I introduced my kids to a screen. At 2 years old my daughter is begining to read.
The best way to spend time on the screen if they are going to be on a screen.
We love Rachel and don't know her. Last week I was thinking of how special this Woman is. She has shown our babies so much through videos. She is passing along so much information, helpful information, educational information to our kids and prepping them for pre school.
Thank you so much
God bless us all and prayers for Mrs Rachel. Thank you for being such a great impact in my child's life and ours.
I find myself singing and learning sign language. It helps our kids communicate more effectively.
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
I Hope to see you performing across the country for kids and us adults too!
Ik!!!kkkkkk
Ms. Rachel has helped so many kids speak, including my two. Speech therapy is not cheap. She has such a good heart.
This makes me so happy. My son looooves her. The only show he’ll watch. He’s been watching it since 4 months and he’s almost a year. His face just lights up when I ask if he wants to watch ms. Rachel. ❤
Thank You Ms. Rachel.
Thanks you you, my 15 month old says “I DID IT” for every little success he has. I’m tearing up right now.
My daughter was born in November 2019, right at the start of covid. Ms. Rachel has been absolutely amazing for her learning and development. That hop little bunny and sticky bubble gum songs are pure gold around this house. I know if I have something to do around the house and I need my daughter to be occupied I can turn on Ms. Rachel, she holds her attention and I don’t feel guilty about tv time because it is so educational. Thank you Ms. Rachel and team!!! ❤️
My 18 month old daughter’s vocabulary has exploded over the past couple months after starting to watch Ms. Rachel - she anticipates all the hand motions and is so amazing at imitating the words! I am so grateful for Ms. Rachel 😇 she makes it wayyyyy more fun than I would alone at home!
OMG ! YESS !! My 22 month old granddaughter LOVES Ms.Rachel !!
She had learned sign language from her and is learning her #’s .
I am so HAPPY that we found her on RUclips and this is ALL that she watches .
Ms. Racheeelllllll!! We love her in our house!! My baby girl always waves at the screen and says “HI!!” when Ms. Rachel says, “Hi, Friends!” 😂. She is 18 months and she talks up a storm with a lot of thanks to her and the gang! Thank you for everything you guys do! ♥️♥️♥️ You guys should do a meet and greet 🙏🏾
My little guy had a speech delay too. Someone recommended Miss Rachel and he is actually talking SO well now!
My son was only allowed to watch Mrs Rachel. He knew all his letters and sounds by 18 months. He just turned 2 and knows how to read 3 letter words. Thank you for all that you do Mrs Rachel!!
Oh can’t forgot about Jules and the rest of the helpers. Lol.
Ms Rachel you have no idea the impact you’ve had on the Littles and the parents never been more grateful
My daughter is 5 n she has speech delay but she loves most of your videos n she repeats whatever she says. Thanks to you ms Rachel.
I will forever be grateful that we found Ms. Rachel! My girl absolutely loves her and we do too. We are always dancing and singing to her songs! 🥰🥰
Such a well deserved segment on Ms. Rachel! She is the Mr. Rogers of this new generations of tots! Thank you for all you do - and please go on tour!!!!
She is amazing! I am so so so grateful for all her work 😍 My 17 mo daughter loves Ms. Rachel, and she is literally a hero in our household. My daughter loves listening to her sing and copies the dances and signs❤️❤️ We're a bilingual household and now I need a Korean version of Ms. Rachel, and that would make everything perfect😂😂
You really deserve all the views in the world! God bless you, Ms. Rachel, and your family and all the cast members and everyone else involved in the making of your contents❤️
Thank you so much rachel for having an amazing impact to our children. YOU DESERVE THE 1 BILLION VIEWS! 😍😍😍🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
There's never a day that Ms Rachel isn't on in my house. Her videos have helped them learn words, they're signing, they sing and dance. When they're fussy, she makes everything better. I primarily work from home so her videos help provide educational entertainment when I'm busy. We love Ms Rachel and her entire team!
I introduced my baby to Ms. Rachel at 6 months. She totally loves and she learned how to say mama and papa at 6-7 months. She’s learning so much for a 11 month old baby. She’s always so happy when watching Ms. Rachel and she’s always hyper. Always dancing and jumping up and down. I am always thankful for Ms. Rachel because my daughter is progressing on her speaking and her certain actions like hi and bye also clapping. She’s so talkative and joyful because of Ms. Rachel. I am very grateful for songs for littles for everything.
My son also has a speech delay. I feel encouraged that We are not alone and that there is a show like Ms. Rachel's. My son loves this show and it is working!!
This lady bring so much joy to our family with our daughter.
Yes!! My daughter will be 1 year old next month. She puts her hands up. Does the “more” sign and waves hello. My family and i love Ms. Rachel
Rachel is the best! I am a Behavior Technician and recently been watching her videos with my client who has Autism and he knows sign language! Her videos are great practice for him!
I'm a 61 year old Nana, Ms. Rachel is such a hugh star to my 20 month old granddaughter, Gia. Her speech is a bit delayed, and watching Ms Rachel has made a huge difference. In our house, she is a goddess
Songs for Littles has been such a huge help in our household. Speech therapy waitlists are 6 months long in my city and we all learned so much from Ms. Rachel, her husband and friends! So thankful for them all 💝
I LOVE Mrs Rachel. My daughter is one and counts up to four says colors and says over 50+ words and sings song. This lady is amazing.
Ms Rachel absolutely saved 2020 for us when my son was 2. I really felt like her videos included everything he needed during that time: learning, imagining, and moving. My second son is now also almost 2 and she's still a superstar in our house.
Miss Rachel, you are amazing! I’m a single mom with very little support. My daughter will be 1 in January. You’ve helped support me as a mother and gave us a chance to bond! ❤
Hats off to all the parents watching this on their phone while their kids are watching Ms Rachel on the TV!
Man I could really cry watching miss Rachel. Every time I worry about my baby’s development here comes miss Rachel to save the day 😭 she’s such a blessing to parents everywhere ❤️❤️
ms Rachel
kids mommy 5:19
I hear these songs in my sleep, my kids have to have her playing in the car 😂
My 2 year old Twins love Ms. Rachel more than they love their mom and I lol. Now we all gather around and sing all the songs together. Their favorite is icky sticky bubble gum!
She is a HERO and deserves more than just a recognition! We play her videos everyday and sync through them all. No other channel. Thankyou Teacher Rachel❤
She’s amazing! My daughter loves her so much. She’s 17 months and already says full sentences like “I did it” “high five dude” and counts up to 10. I didn’t know how to talk to my baby before finding miss Rachel, I’m very thankful
So proud of Miss Rachel. My daughter Sienna adores her. Love from the Philippines.❤️
I was hooked the minute I found Mrs. Rachel. My daughter learns so much fun you. We love you Mrs. Rachel and now that I know how you were inspired I love you even more! Thank you for all that you put into your awesome videos!
She’s been such a gem in our household
Ms Rachel has had a HUGE IMPACT on my 18 month old daughter. Like, HUGE. She loves her and learns SO MUCH from those shows. She starts montessori next month and she is AHEAD developmentally, in large part because of what she's learned from the show. I'm grateful!
My 18 month old daughter loves her shows. U start singing the songs and she will now do the movements ms Rachel does
Omg, Rachel you are SUCH a gem and I'm SO HAPPY you got this much-deserved recognition! I'm so happy to see this video FLOODED with love and appreciation for you because as we all know, comments on children's videos are no longer allowed. So we had NO WAY to tell you how much of an impact you're making! I've utilized your videos for my two sons, and they had so much fun!
Ms Rachel has been a GOD SEND to our son born in the midst of the pandemic. We were so afraid of delays and wanted to help him the best way we could. Ms Rachel’s videos caught his eye and he’s been hooked every since. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
my daughter LOVES ms rachel. i thanked her on twitter and she replied a few times
She is soooo sweet. Her voice is so relaxed for kids ❤️❤️
My two year old loves this channel! He runs to the TV and claps when she comes on and says “hi friends” and has such a huge smile on his face. I love how a close up is done on Ms. Rachel’s mouth so children can see how to pronounce words correctly. My mom is a kindergarten teacher and shared that when facial masks were required in schools, this prevented children from seeing how their mouth should move to pronounce words. This is so true as I’ve noticed that my son watches how my mouth moves when I read his favorite books and pays extra attention when his favorite word in the book is coming up soon so he can learn how to pronounce it.
Literally watching this while my little watches the show. ms Rachel you are awesome!
Love that Ms. Rachel is getting some recognition. She's daily viewing in our house. My 18-month-old still surprises me with new things he learned from her. Thank you so much!
Not all hero’s wear capes! Thank you Miss Rachel 💗
Ms. Rachel, you are absolutely amazing. Our three year old daughter watched you continuously from the age of one, and now at three she is reading already at the 2nd grade level. Whenever folks ask us "how we did it", we tell them about your shows.
The only show my son will watch. Any time we say Miss Rachel, he gets so excited. We watch her every night before bedtime.
My son loves her. He will watch her and repeat it later. I'm so grateful for her show for kids.
This is so awesome I’m so proud of her been watching her and her family and friends for years now and it had been such a blessing
I’m a nanny and I watch Miss Rachel with the two boys I’m taking care of !!!!
We LOVE YOU MS RACHEL my daughter loves you omg she’s obsessed with your videos I’m so grateful you decided to help and teach kids in the best and fun way possible ❤️my daughter is obsessed with your videos and her favorite is the elephant song that your husband is in 😭 thanks to you my daughter has had more words in her vocabulary ❤️❤️
As a Father I cant thank her enough for facilitating my daughter's developmental stage
I am truly grateful for Ms Rachel. I am so thankful that I discovered her videos in Feb. 2022. It really helped my daughter with her speech development and she just loves watching Ms Rachel. The videos are truly helpful and they work! My child eventually spoke her first word at 2 years 7 months after watching Ms Rachel's videos. Thank you Ms Rachel and team.
Ms. Rachael has been helping my nieces of 3years old and developing her speech. She see a speech therapist and ms.Rachael has help her too and see my niece using her hands to communicate with me. I love it ! ❤🎉😊
My daughter is learning SO much from her videos. She's 2 and says and signs "more" and it makes my heart melt! Thank you for everything!!!
As soon as my 8month old grand baby hears Ms Rachel’s voice she immediately smiles and gets excited! She loves Jules as well ❤
My grandson absolutely loves Ms Rachel. He has learned so much from her. I am thankful for her videos.
Ms Rachel is a Star in our house. My son has a speech delay and I found Ms. Rachel and she has changed what appropriate TV viewing is in our home. I'm an educator myself and she's top notch!
Ms Rachel & company are a blessing. I would never have a chance to eat if it wasnt for her videos.
My niece is 7 months and lights up watching Ms. Rachel and the team, thank y’all!!!
Between Blippi and Muss Rachel, I love both of them. They've taught my children so much. My twins hardly spoke at all until they were 2 and because of these shows, they started speaking sentences and doing dances to songs and telling me all about what they're seeing and hearing. It's very reassuring. 💕
Our little family love's, love's, love's, Ms Rachel!!!! Thank you for all you do Ms Rachel, your show has been a blessing for our child. Thank you!!!
My autistic daughter LOVES Miss Rachel!
Who could NOT love her and her crew?!
I am so glad that she took the time to make youtube videos and that they took off and helped kids.
Ms Rachel has helped our family so much. A friend recommended her to us and her videos have helped my speech delayed toddler so much. And when the screens are off, I mimic how she talks and learned her songs so we talk like this all day 😅 She went from 15 words at 1.5 years to 110 by 2. Ms Rachel, if you see this, THANK YOU for all you do.
My 19 mos old daughter lights up like a christmas tree whenever she sees Ms. Rachel on our tv. She's learning so much and i am so grateful to her educational videos. She would twirl and clap and just learn to wave bye bye 💕 her first word was duck and she would say da da when i say quack quack 😁
My kids absolutely adore her and she's helped them so much. Wishing her and her family all the best.
Our daughter LOVES Ms.Rachel ❤️ and so do we!
Ms. Rachel is amazing my son is speech delayed and goes to early invention. She has helped him so much. He signs more all the time. Thank you.
My 20 month old heard Ms Rachel in this video and came running over to watch! Loves her!
Very grateful Ms. Rachel and her team. They have really engaged my son and he’s so excited about learning!
If you see this ms racheal,we love you,my 2 year old son speaks soooooo many words and he interacts like this little adult because you.thank you so much.
