Homeschooling is awesome! We just do lots of sports, playgrounds, and the deeper friendships are with neighbors and cousins. Also, so much freedom! Kids can just be themselves instead of trying to fit in and be like everyone else.
I remember being that age and I'll say this: My parents never said that they were having problems, but I felt it and I tried my best to be "independent" so they don't have to worry about me. Your child loves you as much as you love them and even though the situation sucks, as a kid you would still try to ease your parents mind.
I just think about how once Taika is older, he will be able to watch these podcasts and see kinda what was going on during his early years. I can't imagine how hard it is for you guys to limit his diet, but eventually when he's older, he will appreciate all you guys are doing for him. You guys are doing a wonderful job
It doesn’t matter if your childhood relationship is still ongoing, the friendship you made at that age helps you learn how to treat your friends. The way I treat or don’t treat my friends is because of the experiences I had in my younger years. Also teaches you that people will come and go in your life and you have to be okay with that too.
My friends child has Angelman Syndrome and suffers from seizures. Keto helped reduced seizures tremendously. It is incredibly difficult but it’s been helpful. Best of luck to you guys and hope it’s helpful for Taika and you all.
I'm Chinese and my mom used to be really strict with our diets when I was young. There were no sodas or artificially sweetened drinks, no chips, no processed snacks, no fast food available at home. But she would cook delicious nutritious meals. Snack time were healthy fruits or Chinese soup desserts (green bean/red bean soups, soy bean milk which were lightly sweetened). But she never cared what I ate when I was with my friends. I would eat all the junk I wanted outside when I was young but still look forward to eating her cooked meals. As I grew older, I actually gravitate towards healthy food and I rarely crave for junk food (except for boba). It was a really healthy balance and I grew to love to eat healthy at a really early age. I loved all my greens since I could remember. Have been following you guys since Bart and Jo's Unco Chin and Unco Same days. I'm a mom of a 2.5 yo now and still loving your content! I love how honest and positive you guys are! Love from Singapore ❤
I know Bart and Geo are asking other parents with kids with seizures how they are managing it, but have they asked older people with seizures for advice? I’m sure someone who’s lived a decent life while having seizures can give different advice from the parents who are experiencing this for the first time themselves.
I heard that there are homeschool communities that you can join so that your kids can be around kids and still make friends, im sure there are a few in cities like las vegas
I had to do this with 10 year he was having stomach issues and inflamed liver we had to changing he whole diet I felt the same way you guys did. It even harder when his siblings get to eat whatever and he would ask can some too but he did really good even at school lost 25 pounds not having any problems anymore
as a kid growing up in sweden i never considered milk with cereal to be a regular thing LMAO. i always had filmjölk or yoghurt with some type of granola. i only got sweet cereal once a year.
There are so many keto snacks nowadays that you guys can find some fun and decent replacements for him! Real Good Foods for breakfast sandwiches, Mexican, and Italian foods, countless keto ice creams, Smart Sweets are good as long as he doesn't eat multiple bags and get GI issues. Fat bombs are bomb. You may not be able to keep it super clean 100% of the time but a nice treat once in a while should be ok and allow for a good balance.
I was born on Los Angeles, public school all the way. Now I homeschool my four daughters after retiring from the military. Adapting to the current fabric of society.
Ok so farm life…. 14 yrs ago my husband was deported to Mexico. I with my then 6 month old daughter followed him. And for my family it was the best decision I’ve ever made. On one side my family is together on the other side my kids get to be free to do kids stuff that they would never get to do in the U.S.. my kids ride bikes and come back home covered in mud and they come back with stories of how they went out bird hunting with their slingshots. Now my oldest two are 13 and 15 and I can say that they are enjoying their childhood.
Taika could be homeschooled up until the middle to latter-end of middle school; so (7th or 8th grade). And, while home schooled, do as Geo said and do extra-curricular activities. This way he can solidify his foundation in his education, and then finish honing his social skills through middle & high school.
Middle school are the hardest years socially, so it might be a really bad idea to just throw him into having to learn to navigate that at the age where he's most vulnerable
@33:00 and on...by my informed deduction, I have concluded that Taika is a born innovator and scientist at heart☺️🥰☺️🥰 And it’s no wonder that he Loves the movie *Dennis the Menace*😁😁 Also, him being 5 and wondering whether a baby will grow out his tummy...he understands more than most at that age...scientist through and through 🥰 I think the way his mind works is helping him understand why his parents changed what he eats. He connected some of the dots; knowing they’re just trying to help him be and feel well.
There’s so many different kinds of parenting throughout the world across Africa, Europe, South America, Asia, and in different points in human history. We have no idea if one method is better than another.
lol Bart how are you surprised at the way Taika behaved at the museum after what you said on JK about Taika throwing the rocks and flower petals into the bounce house at his cousins birthday party, and then he described it as being so beautiful.
I think what Geo said, is the best of both worlds. You home school your kids, and then you put them in a bunch of extracurricular activities for the social aspect.
In chinese culture, they say that people who have passed come back to you to send messages, check in on your family, and watch over you through your dreams. I hope you guys are okay. You guys are the best parents! Sending love!
Homeschooling doesn't mean sheltering. Attending public school doesn't mean you'll have great critical thinking skills. I believe regardless of education it's up to the parent to teach critical thinking.
Kids are great. My son is 9 now but to this day he still talks about his past life. He started talking about it when he was 2 1/2 years old. It’s wild 😜
It’s so much easier when other kids aren’t eating junk food all the time and adults aren’t offering it all the time. But we live in areas (American cities) that normalize it so much. Kids in the countryside or kids in Thailand, etc. aren’t thinking about protein and amino acids when they are eating healthy food. They just eat what is available and what’s available isn’t horrible for their bodies.
Hello Bart & Geo! I don’t have a kid, but am the same age as Geo. I’ve been around my fair share of people who have kids and one of them always complained about the education system in the US. What intrigued me was she wished the US was more like Finnish schools. She wasn’t even Finnish herself (she’s a Korean parent). Kids don’t have to be in school until the age of 7 and their time at school is only from 9 - 2 for developmental reasons. Getting glimpses of Asian school systems being strict and stressful to the point of suicidal isn’t healthy, the American school system failing, I can see why she felt that way. With all the standardized tests, common core methods introduced in the 2010s, and exponential costs of attending universities that questions if college is worth it, I honestly feel if you have the means, opportunities, and most importantly benefits for Taika in his development at the times that’s right for him - do it. ❤
Taika is still young enough it will be easier for him to adjust to keto. He is blessed to have parents who are well equipped to help him w his health. Alot of people homeschool their kids now. Much love and prayers for you all. 💛🙏
Lmaooo at the way they talk about "farm life" it sounded more like raising kids in the wild life. Just coz you were raised on a farm doesn't mean you don't get taught how to be a proper human. If anything, growing up in a farm it makes the kid more responsible and regimented. My husband grew up on a farm and it was hard work starting at dawn before school, then, breakfast, school and more farm chores after school. Every kid had their chores that had to be done every day. They learned team work and how to be responsible at a very young age, and then they grew up to be very responsible adults. Kids who grow up on farms are just all around healthier, since they would eat a lot more cleaner than city kids, and they are always active. I would love to raise my family on a farm!
Idk if this will help but try the eat anything that’s not processed diet, it has helped me out with a couple of my health problems and also getting an allergy test and avoiding the foods I found out that I’m allergic to or intolerant to.
Homeschooling is so fun!! My kids actually love it way better than public school. I battled myself thinking I was cheating my kids and thought I would rob them of their experiences in school, I was so wrong!! We decided to homeschool because the school by us sucked! They can’t keep teachers, the teachers are not passionate about teaching like back in the day, plus the kids are exposed to some crazy shit as such a young age. We can travel, which they love, and they are more socialized than public school kids. They are in activities and we have friends and family that have kids their age and so they are always getting opportunities to hang out and play. It’s funny because if they act up I threaten to send them back to public school and they are like nooooo! Lol 😆
Relationship Convo-Goals: “It’s not a weasel pussy… wait… is it a pussy if a weasel?” “Do weasels have pussies?” “Yea… if they’re female” Bart & Geo y’all are tooooo funny!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Yea him homeschool at a young age is fine so the parents can monitor his health and take him to hospital asap when needed but hopefully by the time he in middle school ish 6th grade he can go back to school experience it and meet someone in school and have a social life
Homeschooling seems to be going well for the Ballinger family. They are another YT family. Their kids do homeschooling with online classes, yet also do activities that interest them with classes offered in their community. Like a couple kids do gymnastics. And one does a youth ninja warriors obstacle course class. Their daughter just did a play in a community theater as well.
I don't know anything and I'm paranoid half the time so take this lightly but if the seizures started in Vegas. Again don't know if they did but if they did could it be the water 🤔🤷. Maybe testing the water 💧 won't be bad either way.
I homeschool my kids, state funded, my 5 year old goes to forest school, he gets dirty and wet! Climbs trees and learns science. Ask ryanima and popper Can for David Do number. I’ll help you guys out. All three of my kids are schooled. Yes they have prom! Lol
Home schooling was the worst thing that ever happened to me thank god my parents changed their mind or I woulda been a fucking weirdo with no social skills
Fit Learning can do sessions online (one hour a day) so you can homeschool and still make sure Taika is learning, being taught by actual education scientists! We got it down!
A lot of Curse Words are allowed on Cable TV. Heck they even show full on frontal nudity on certain channels. I think the rule is they’re allowed to show uncensored content after 8pm.
The food discussion was very interesting. Coming from Germany the food in shows are mostly viewed as something unrealistic. Why should you be sad about giving your child healthy food😅
Taika has been having seizures. The tests the doctors have done haven't really given them a lot of answers as to why. The doctors just keep adjusting the dosage of his anti-seizure meds; which isn't necessarily helping since he still had a seizure even after taking the medicine(like within a couple hours after a dose). And Bart and Geo were worried about the side effects of Taika being on so much medicine; he was at the highest dose for his age/weight. So they want to ween him off the medicine and find an alternative way to try to help control his seizures thru diet instead of medication. So Geo has been researching other ways that may work to help in a healthier way.
🚨 Hi Geo and Bart. Do research on Lose dose Naltrexone and seizures. LDN has been proven to help with inflammation, chronic pain, autoimmune diseases seizures and much more,.... Its changing my life. Naltrexone (50mg and more) is a medication use to treat addiction. But at lower doses is natural medicine... I'm talking (.25mg to 4.5mg) Taika will get better, one way or another 🙏🏽
Kids who grow up on a farm are taught there is a time a place for everything. So when they are on the farm, they are working hard and getting dirty. And can explore and be "wild." When they are not on the farm, they will adjust to "society standards." 😁
Some people have said that switching to a keto diet has helped their children reduce the seizures they were having. Geo has been doing research into what others who have experienced with their own children having seizures, that they have found that has helped.
@@DemonFox369 ketogenic diets and non processed diets are not the same thing. Keto diets are designed to facilitate your brain to use ketones instead of glucose for energy. Typically your brains first energy source is glucose, but in a state of low glucose, your liver makes ketones from fat which your brain can metabolize. Non processed diets are vague and not research backed like keto diets for the prevention of seizures in treatment resistant patients. I had originally typed a whole comment abt this but somehow it was deleted lol
Let me be the first one to say that junk food, especially American junk food, is trash. So you are doing your kid a favour by not letting him eat that. He's not missing out on anything except for unhealthiness. It's not you being strict, it's you being a good parent.
i feel like some cuss words are just empty cuss words like if i call someone a fg, im not referring to a certain person whos a certain way lol, its like calling someone a bch youre not a female dog lol. Some cuss words are just words lol
I’m only 20 mins in so you might talk about this later, but have y’all ever considered sending Taika to a nature school? It sounds like it would have the best of both worlds, get all that “savagery” out of his system 😊
Aw I love that taika loves and trust you guys so much that no matter what rules you guys set for him, even a fucking KETO DIET THAT MOST ADULTS CANT MAINTAIN, he trust you guys endlessly and doesn’t try to fight against it. The fact that you guys want him to this is what let’s him know that it’s what’s best for him. He knows he has the best parents❤️🥺
Honestly I am not surprised Taika has health issues. One of the last vid I saw from this channel was Taika eating boba when he was very small. It was really telling of what kind of diet he was having. To be honest it would be best to start cooking healthy home cooked foods (eating out healthily is not really possible at many restaurants) for not only Taika but for yourselves too. Its a call to change your lifestyle with how you eat food which will be kind of hard and probably will require a mind shift with how you look at food but itll be good in the long run. Research eating healthy - whole foods, no vegetable oils, no corn syrup, low sugar diet, ect.
Love y’all so much and this is a great episode, best of luck for Taika. On another note I’m gay asf and I have been called a Fa***t by a few old white men. Not a insane amount but there’s fools out there really using that word to spread hate and violence
I have heard about some celebrity who did that during Covid lockdown. They would have their different friends use their skillset over zoom to teach their children different activities to help with meeting their educational needs.
Diets will be recommended for certain health conditions. Keto can be helpful for children with seizures. As a child I had to restrict certain foods to control the frequency of migraine attacks.
Homeschooling is awesome! We just do lots of sports, playgrounds, and the deeper friendships are with neighbors and cousins. Also, so much freedom! Kids can just be themselves instead of trying to fit in and be like everyone else.

“But they don’t even use it that wayyy!😩”
Taika came out HARD in Bart in that moment😭😂😂
I agree with bart.. a homeschool child will have a more difficult time making connections n friendships that are meaningful
praying for taika hope you guys are well 👍🏽
I know Bart and Geo are asking other parents with kids with seizures how they are managing it, but have they asked older people with seizures for advice?

as a kid growing up in sweden i never considered milk with cereal to be a regular thing LMAO. i always had filmjölk or yoghurt with some type of granola. i only got sweet cereal once a year.
I normally don't sit through anyone's podcasts but Bart explaining parenting Taika had me cracking up.

I'm such a big fan, Bart and Geo.🙂💚
I was born on Los Angeles, public school all the way. Now I homeschool my four daughters after retiring from the military. Adapting to the current fabric of society.
Hey geo. I will DM you a video on homeschooling that really helped/ inspired me.
Ok so farm life…. 14 yrs ago my husband was deported to Mexico. I with my then 6 month old daughter followed him. And for my family it was the best decision I’ve ever made. On one side my family is together on the other side my kids get to be free to do kids stuff that they would never get to do in the U.S.. my kids ride bikes and come back home covered in mud and they come back with stories of how they went out bird hunting with their slingshots.

Watching kids grow and developing their own personality is awesome! Most are so bright
Taika could be homeschooled up until the middle to latter-end of middle school; so (7th or 8th grade). And, while home schooled, do as Geo said and do extra-curricular activities.
This way he can solidify his foundation in his education, and then finish honing his social skills through middle & high school.

I think the way his mind works is helping him understand why his parents changed what he eats. He connected some of the dots; knowing they’re just trying to help him be and feel well.
Behaviors are not used up until “they are out of your system” behaviors are reinforced and thus continues
There’s so many different kinds of parenting throughout the world across Africa, Europe, South America, Asia, and in different points in human history. We have no idea if one method is better than another.

You home school your kids, and then you put them in a bunch of extracurricular activities for the social aspect.
I think extracurriculars can even be better for making friends than school. Bc I never did extracurriculars and managed to make only 2 friends lol
In chinese culture, they say that people who have passed come back to you to send messages, check in on your family, and watch over you through your dreams. I hope you guys are okay. You guys are the best parents! Sending love!
Love y’all
Bart childhood “sucks” but he grew up successful . Sheltering them will limit critical thinking skills
Homeschooling doesn't mean sheltering. Attending public school doesn't mean you'll have great critical thinking skills. I believe regardless of education it's up to the parent to teach critical thinking.
Hey Bart and Geo have you looked into Magic Spoon cereal it’s high protein low carb keto . Taika will thank you
They’ve been sponsored by magic spoon in the past

4:36 the fact that he wasn't rebellious too aw :(
Have you guys thought about CBD for taika with treating/combating his seizures?
Relationship Convo-Goals:
“It’s not a weasel pussy… wait… is it a pussy if a weasel?”
“Do weasels have pussies?”
“Yea… if they’re female”

Keep feeding him well as long as possible. He has his whole life to eat garbage and indulge, and you know he will when he’s a teen.
Yea him homeschool at a young age is fine so the parents can monitor his health and take him to hospital asap when needed but hopefully by the time he in middle school ish 6th grade he can go back to school experience it and meet someone in school and have a social life

Maybe, suggesting to the public places he participated in to include KETO snacks in their displays of food to kids.
Try looking into more progressive schools and different schools of thought 😊 Traditional schooling isn't the only way~
Two words. Raw veganism … it’s soooo hard but so worth it for curing things.
I’m only 20 mins in so you might talk about this later, but have y’all ever considered sending Taika to a nature school? It sounds like it would have the best of both worlds, get all that “savagery” out of his system 😊
Twitter links and neither of you use twitter lol
Aw I love that taika loves and trust you guys so much that no matter what rules you guys set for him, even a fucking KETO DIET THAT MOST ADULTS CANT MAINTAIN, he trust you guys endlessly and doesn’t try to fight against it. The fact that you guys want him to this is what let’s him know that it’s what’s best for him. He knows he has the best parents❤️🥺
Mr TaikA
Honestly I am not surprised Taika has health issues. One of the last vid I saw from this channel was Taika eating boba when he was very small. It was really telling of what kind of diet he was having. To be honest it would be best to start cooking healthy home cooked foods (eating out healthily is not really possible at many restaurants) for not only Taika but for yourselves too. Its a call to change your lifestyle with how you eat food which will be kind of hard and probably will require a mind shift with how you look at food but itll be good in the long run. Research eating healthy - whole foods, no vegetable oils, no corn syrup, low sugar diet, ect.
Love y’all so much and this is a great episode, best of luck for Taika.
On another note I’m gay asf and I have been called a Fa***t by a few old white men. Not a insane amount but there’s fools out there really using that word to spread hate and violence
I wish Geo was married to David he would put her in her place lol
Don't be stupid, it's not a become trait to have.
Cant stand David
Have uncle Joe be one of his teachers.
that's a bad idea lol.
I have heard about some celebrity who did that during Covid lockdown. They would have their different friends use their skillset over zoom to teach their children different activities to help with meeting their educational needs.
isnt he to young to be on a diet though? i am confused lolz
Diets will be recommended for certain health conditions. Keto can be helpful for children with seizures. As a child I had to restrict certain foods to control the frequency of migraine attacks.
Diets don't necessarily mean restricting calories. Vegetarian is a diet. "No fast food" is a diet.
@@Madison-tf6qf ik but i m ajust saying cause of his age and all i also suffer from migraines to glad u are doing better
Diet just means what you put into your body
there are for sure ppl who say the f word in *that* way lmao
