Real Talk with Kids: Korie Robertson, 2Mama & the Littles | Sadie Robertson Huff

What's up everybody? I hope you're having a great week. Y'all I am so excited to kind of pop into this episode Just to intro it up So actually they recorded this episode while I was on maternity leave and I got to come up here and see it in person It was so cute all the kids getting interview and I was just so thankful for this moment But before we get into the podcast my mom and two mom are actually hosting this podcast and they're actually interviewing our kids Which is so sweet and so adorable, but I wanted to give you a little context as to why I wanted to do an episode like this So I'm a mom right on 28 years old three kids and it is crazy It's hard like all your moms out there I just want to say you're doing a great job Christian, I were actually talking about how we want to like make little stickers or something to pass out to moms of the airport It being like you go girl like you're crushing it Because there's so much that you're trying to carry as a mom Just being a good mom doing other things right You know raising your kids to be awesome people and thinking about all the things social media throwing at you And it just can be overwhelming and one of the things that helps me the most is that I get to go to my mom and ask your for advice If not my mom and go to my grandma I see my grandma for advice and it's really cool to get to have such sound wisdom and advice from two women who have Raise kids and they've lived through like a lot of different Trends I guess I should say and I say that because some of the parenting Tips of our day are just that they're trends. They're like hey, this is a good idea This is something that we're trying this is like the hype or the big thing everybody's doing the method that's working But it's nice to kind of hear your grandma say hey, we didn't do that and y'all turned out just fine And so I always think to myself man Like how do people do it without this sound wisdom in their life without just like going to someone who Is you know anchored in their faith and really has raised a lot of children and so with that being said I wanted to invite them on the podcast for all your moms out there who might not have that voice in your life who might not have Someone to go to who can just say hey, here's some tips and tricks that I did with you guys Here's how we talk to our kids here's how We raised y'all and look at how you guys turned out and so I hope this is a blessing to you I hope that this encourages you in Parenting and then also if you're not a mom if you're not a parent and you're like Should I even listen to this podcast? I encourage you to listen I encourage you to dive in because children are such a blessing And even if they're not your children, I think we can learn so much to them and the Bible is really clear on that that We can learn so much from children and the way that we influence children matters So before we get into I just wanted to read this from Matthew 19 So Matthew 19 Just to kind of set it up all these little children or these parents are bringing their little children to Jesus to bless them and the disciples are like No, we don't have time for this and Jesus makes it very clear that we absolutely have time for this We absolutely have time to bless these children and I'm actually not reading it from the Bible I'm reading it from the study commentary. It's the Bible knowledge commentary of the New Testament and I just like the way it kind of Paints it but in Matthew 19 it says Many parents were bringing their children to Jesus for him to place hands on them and pray for them But the disciples felt like this was a waste of Jesus's time. They began Rebuking those bringing the children and apparently the disciples had forgotten what Jesus had just said earlier about the worth of children and the Seriousness of causing them to fall which is in Matthew 18 Jesus rebuked the disciples telling them to tell the little children to come and not to hinder them The kingdom of heaven is not limited to adults who might be considered to be worth more than children Anyone who comes to the Lord in faith is worthy subject for the kingdom This implies that Jesus had time for all of the children that day and did not depart from them in that region until all of them Had been blessed and I just thought that was really cool. Just reading that commentary on the story of Matthew 19 that Jesus Not only said this not a waste of time, but it's actually very much so worth my time that I'll stay here and bless all of these children And so I wanted to keep this at the forefront of your mind this holiday season as you're surrounded by little kids So learn from the little kids take time to bless the little kids take time to speak life over them and listen to the things that they're saying It's so important and it might be silly It might be fun, but just your engagement in their life It's gonna shape who they are and who they're becoming so I hope this is encouragement to all of you who are around kids this holiday season And for the moms out there you're doing a great job And I hope you feel so encouraged by the advice that my mom and grandma give during this podcast Oh Hey there everybody welcome to whoa, that's good I hope you're having a great week and I am really Excited about today and I think it's gonna make your day even better because we've got a lot of cuteness in the studio right now If you hear anything That is kids. Yes We are doing a very special podcast first with my mom Chris Howard here in studio and then later we're gonna invite some extra special special guests Our grandkids my grandkids my mom is great grandkids to the studio and we're just gonna talk a little bit about talking to your kids This whole podcast is just gonna be about how to have good conversation with their kids. How do you be your kids best friend? How do you? Keep your house open and Speak it off. We've got a little friend come here. You must sit on my lap Okay So haven if you're just listening and cannot watch I got a little haven on my lap and she's got one of these little pop pop it toys Very good. Okay, so we thought we would just use today to really talk about Building relationship with your kids and starting that when they're young and how do you have age-appropriate conversations with your kids to Just develop that relationship to where whenever they are older they'll come to you with anything and everything Sadie always jokes that I made her feel like I had to tell her everything and I was like, yeah, exactly It was purposeful. I wanted you to tell me everything and so she always felt like there was nothing she could not tell me and Not only could she not but she had to tell me everything and I think it's good I think your kids need to feel that that they can tell you tell their mom anything and not only can they but they should so I really did try to foster that in our kids and I know mom did that in me as well and so I'm gonna Throw it to throw it to two mom right now Tell me kind of how you feel about conversations with their kids and why it's important Well, I think the fun thing about it is your kids all will have a different personality about their them having conversations true like and my three kids Oddly enough, it was the boy who was the talker. I used to say Ryan could not get within 50 feet of me and his mouth was already moving Tell me something that happened that is odd because I'm always don't tell you as much usually it's your boy that you kind of had to pull things out of but I had a boy who was a talker so that was great and then your personality was so different than ashes personality and so that's just one of those things as a Bond that you get to figure out and have so much fun figuring out how and then who to talk to how to talk to each one album so I love that I want you to think you have a figure that out then the next one's different It does is different and so on to work a little bit harder exactly you have those moments of conversations with Because I would say for you Bella may have been a little bit harder than you Because that was just her personality so yeah, I think that's the fun thing about whatever it is that is part of our job is Apparent to figure that out right so that we can foster those conversations and I know as y'all got older my time was in At night after you got to bed I would go into each room and have a conversation you probably don't remember that now but Oh now this one we don't have a tremble talking it with it all Do we do you want to say hi to microphone can you say hi? Don't touch it don't touch it. Oh She loves the new so white. She loves to know why it's her new favorite movie. Yeah, what's your favorite song on so white? You what what which one do you like princess problems? Yeah? And does honey sing it all the time And Elsa she loves Elsa. She loves all the princesses She does well. I was thinking about how I think some of the things that we used to just have to do out of necessity because there wasn't things like iPads or Are even TVs in the car or all that? Yeah nail days you have to be more intentional about it because there is some are so many distractions for your kids And so I think the car is a great place for conversation You know dinner wherever so I think one of the real challenges is for this generation is in raising their kids is to limit the distractions because there can be so many things that can Pull pull you away from having those conversations that We just didn't have before and I do remember when even like the first time I got a minivan that had a TV in it of course the kids want to watch the TV every time you're in the car and And I just we didn't do that we said no the the TV in the car is only for long road trips But we're not going to do it every time we're driving 15 minutes or 20 minutes to school or to church or whatever because that is the time when you can have really good purposeful conversations with your kids That's a very good point because Every generation has their level of distractions, you know, everybody's got to have that on some level and of course when I was growing up TVs came into popularity and I'm sure my parents thought the same thing. Oh, we need to be talking to our kids and yes you do so however Whatever the distractions are for your generation. It's your job to manage that That's right. We it's be charged with that. This girl is just having a good distraction Would you like to sit on our lap and come have a conversation? No, she said nope Come here baby girl nope. Okay I Remember whenever we started low and I had all the what ifs what if I fell what if it isn't where I need to be and looking back I can see so clearly that God had his hand and the whole thing starting something new is exciting But it's also very scary and that's why I'm thankful for Shopify Shopify is the commerce platform behind millions of businesses around the world and 10% of all e-commerce in the US from Massive brands to tiny startups team low starts on Shopify every single day for managing inventory and staying on top of orders It just works you can build a beautiful online store with templates to actually match or vibe and their AI tools are game changers They help write product descriptions page headlines even enhance product photos plus everything's in one place So inventory payments analytics and they have a 24-7 customer support It really feels like you have a built-in business partner I think it's so amazing for anyone starting out a business.

It's time to turn those what ifs into With Shopify today sign up for your $1 per month trial today at Shopify.com slash woe go to Shopify.com slash woe again that Shopify.com slash woe All right, you're so silly So I know you are always really good about having intentional conversations like after you would go see a movie Talking about the movie and what life lessons you learn from it and something that I always say you could any you could turn anything into a teachable moment And that's just like the teacher in you so talk about that. Yeah, I think that is a teacher But I really do think that any moment is a teachable Teachable moment everything that we do in life. There's some lesson and they're to learn and so for y'all I was like that. I would try to pull out the answers to things that I didn't I would not let my kids shrug their shoulders Or say I don't know I would say I don't know is not an answer and shrug your shoulders are not answers So let's think about that again now what what did that show? What did that movie tell you about you? Maybe you know, so I would think of those questions to kind of draw them out like that But like we said earlier all the kids are going to have a natural inclination to how they handle conversation And so you don't would embarrass them You don't want to draw attention to them But you have to be mindful that you're the manager of that you're teaching them how to Handle their emotions and their feelings and big feelings and little feelings and things they see in movies Their thoughts you're you're the one helping them learn how to handle all those things and they handle that by conversations Yeah, we were having the discussion of the day with Sadie and Christian about like Training and discipline and things like that and that scripture it talks about train up a child in the way he should go And um we were talking about training and you really do with children you have to train them You have to that's part of teaching you go from this There are babies that we were just caring for them and every one of their needs and that's your whole role for a while And then they hit taller phase and it is about like training and part of training is repetition practicing right practicing Conversation practicing looking somebody in the eye practicing what do you have when you're going to meet a friend What would you how would you what would you say first, you know, right that role play yeah Practicing how to do that and that's part of that training Um some of the things that we did in the car remember growing up with the kids loved we rhyming games They love to learn to rhyme and that's part of it. It's just games I think you're actually you know that they're learning things they don't know they're learning they're just having fun Playing I spy rhyming games we used to play a fun little storytelling game called fortunately and unfortunately Where you would take turns and yeah It would follow a little thing where you could say unfortunately it rained today And the next kid has to add on to that story but fortunately I had an umbrella It was a really fun one and just something that they can use their creativity and continue a conversation And we would also just do a tell a story game like you would have to say a sentence in the next person Would say a sentence and I remember what the kids ended with my grandkids We're just getting old enough with the gray grants, but with the grandkids like you they have to learn that like that They're like what is that? But you're actually teaching them how to carry on a conversation Which is an invaluable life skill So when they learn how to complete a sentence or do a rhyme all of those kind of things are actually just learning how to have a conversation with people Yeah, there have been studies done about um just how much conversation is happens in the home and how that affects IQ and how that affects learning later in life Just from from babies, you know, you should talk to your babies talk to your toddlers all day long You know talk about what you're doing Talk about what you're feeling what are what you're thinking all those kind of things it helps develop their brains and their language skills And their conversational skills and then also helps in so many aspects of Of their learning later in life that you don't even you may not even realize or understand you know our generation was the generation Really and truly set down around the table every single meal And then your generation with the generation that we got away from that and I was very mindful of that because The older generation was very critical of our generation because we found ourselves in restaurants More than we were around the table But I used to say even that if you it doesn't it really doesn't matter if you're a restaurant You still can use that time meaningful and I think we did that, you know We still had a conversation around the table you ask what happened in your day What was a good thing? What's a what's high? What's a low you can have those conversations wherever you are So if you find yourself that busy mom and you're picking up the kids from football and you're like okay We're just going to stop on the way home for dinner That doesn't negate that you can have a meaningful conversation around a dinner table You know, so good. Yeah Willie and I grew up very differently in that aspect and that their family was Around the dinner table K cooked three meals a day literally. I don't even know how that was possible when I first You know join the Robertson family was like maybe cook three times a week exactly Like wait you actually cooked three meals a day what but But yeah ours was different we ate out a lot, but we ate Because we were busy we were active We were all involved in like all the sports and all those things and then I was teaching Right, and so we were very active family, but we had this conversations an intentional time even if we were at a restaurant or if we had picked up takeout Or whatever it wasn't just kind of everyone go to their own room Right. Yes, you know that's the thing today about it did not have it your iPads out yes If you're in a restaurant where you can have a conversation and I was telling somebody just recently they were flying Oh, my niece had called and they were flying and she was like I mean to my wife I just had to like Give him anything and I said there are times when you just give them everything and one of those times is when you're on an airplane Yeah, you've got other people involved and you get the iPad out you do Right, you give them the sexer times more special because they don't have it all the time Yes, you have it and this is this is a baby. He's not yeah old enough yet But as your kids get old enough to have a conversation they need to have the conversation With you while you're around the dinner table that's will become so valuable to them. Yeah, and you know We're of course from an older generation And so you don't want to be those old people that are critical But it is so interesting you know I have been places like an ice cream shop where parents are there with their kids And you and you know they like playing a little ice cream date or whatever and the kids eat an ice cream and the parent is on the phone Are the You know we were just in Taiwan and we were in the subways a lot and it was really fun And we had the kids so we weren't on our phones because we were with kids and all this kind of stuff But you looked around and everyone else is in the subway on their phones And you know, it's one thing if you're about yourself, but another thing if you're with Kids and with people they're seeing you and they're watching you and that's limiting the conversation The kids are sitting there kind of left to their own devices while you're on your phone And sometimes you don't even realize it because you're distracted and you are and so I think That's why this conversation we thought like was really important right now was to just challenge you guys as parents to Be intentional about those conversations. Don't be distracted. Don't let the modern-day distractions Distract you about looking at your phone our iPads distract your kids all the time to where you're not having this conversations But well one more thing too quickly because the laws have changed uh in the education system where kids cannot have their phones at school now And I've just already talked to teachers who've been They're like it is so fun to see the kids having a conversation at lunch I think they didn't they couldn't have them in the classroom then but they got them at breaks at lunch and You know whenever they were nodding the classroom Which I was even ever Me too, you're saying how They let what Them have phones and schools at all. Yeah, I've ever given that yeah, but I've been following several teachers who are like we are loving this so much because at break They're out there talking to each other at lunchtime. They're talking each other and wow that that's great I've been seeing some things about like things like the little clapping games You know that we used to do or the jump rope games and the songs and all that how there's been a decline in that kids don't know them anymore They don't do them anymore and so but how important those are even for your development thinking about things like rhythm and rhyming when you do this little games and how you're you're learning coordination and also you're doing it with somebody else So there's and there's connection and interaction that's happening and those just simple hand clap games And if we lose that you know, they're losing they're they're not realizing what all they're losing when they're losing that It's not just something of the past. It's something about the future. They're losing So when you think oh, we did that piece points, but that was old time you think but really like you said you're teaching rhythm And clapping and all of those things that are going to affect your future right if you don't get those skills down Exactly that are so valuable. We yeah, we don't want to be guilty up and Mary Kay was doing a couple of them in the pool the other damn was so fine to hear Ella yeah doing those with John Luke and John Shepby and and Mary Kay and and I just love seeing that Yeah in the in the kids because that's those are things that seem like oh this kind of simple. It's just like You know, that's old time me, but no Those are development skills that our kids are missing. Yeah, skills. Uh-huh. We don't do it. Yeah So I think that this conversation is not to like shame me anybody or make anybody feel like okay We did it better in this generation because there were definitely things that we did not do right and I think that we're learning from this next generation About parenting and about teaching kids and all that that are great things But there are also some things that like we can easily lose if we're not aware of really the importance of them So this is just kind of a little bit of reminder and so we thought it'd be really fun if we invited the grandkids in today And we just asked them some questions One of the things that I Wish I would have done more of honestly. I did it a little bit and I have a few funny notes in my phone where I just Quizzed our kids and I asked them things like you know, who's your teacher? You things like that just to have them have it written down What do you want to be when you grow up all those things and I wish I would have done it more and written it down more intentionally But the ones that I do have are so special and um because it just captures this moment in your kids I have a lot of What what they care about in that time and whatever age that they are so I was gonna have my phone So you can talk a little bit and I'll see if I can find any of them because we said we think this is gonna be fun So we're not really sure how this is gonna come up but um because we do talk to them our kids a lot But they're still little our oldest one is six so we've got six five four four four three Two one. I mean they're all different ages So um we're gonna see if we bring them out here how they're how they're gonna handle this and it's one of those things that we tell the kids a lot Well get what we get we want through a fit So that maybe how this goes today or just don't know what we're gonna. We don't know what we're gonna get But when my kids were little we we didn't have course have so many things to type in and write things and and I'm like Coria I wish I would have written down more things but we do have we did have our baby books So we kind of did baby books pretty well Mm-hmm back in that day Yeah, because we didn't have any other kind of way so I'm like you I just I'd love to look back at there and see things that Ashley said or yeah or he said or Ryan said and like that is just like the sweetest memory to have that so I would encourage you if you have a journal or you don't have a journal yet Just get one and even if you just write down four things a year that will come back to be some of the sweetest things That you'll find in your house and just put it in notes in your phone if you're sitting there You know at dinner or whatever ask a few questions put it in the notes in your phone I'll be so fun to have you're after a year Mary Kate and I did that with um John chef and Ella recently and one of the questions was what's your favorite thing you did this summer And John shepherd said a fish with K-Mama And that just made my heart so happy because we loved to fish together and Ella said she loved K-Map K-M-Ch-Yoka and she did she loved it so much and so it's just really sweet to see like What they love what they care about and um, so yeah, just ask your kids the questions So that is what we're gonna do today and we will see what happens So should we invite the kids in?

Hey, I got another question. What does your mommy say to you in the morning when you get up? So I did the one. You're the Lila world. Oh, that's so sweet. Because we were done watching a lot. We were done watching a new light of the word Jesus movie. But my dad was trying to do that. And that's what it never came on. Oh no. It was the TV didn't make it. TV wouldn't make it work. It never came on. And it never came on. No, okay. Were you a little bit sad about that? Yeah, I went there to watch it. Yeah. Oh, I know what story I want to hear. I want to hear that story about. But what? What? Tommy prayed about for a kid to go party. Whenever we prayed for a kid, she got a poop. Whenever we were already playing for the, she already pooped. Yeah. Oh, the bad boy.

A big boy. Poor her pig. She did. Why does mommy love Peter in the Bible? Because he has faith. Because he has faith? That's right. He has faith. What does it mean to have faith? It means that you're not scared. Yeah. Oh, very good. Very good. You mean you look at Jesus and trust Him? I didn't want to see this. He looked at the storm. He looked at the storm. That's right. And what happened when you looked at the storm? He found the water. On the water. But Jesus was still there for him. He helped him get out, didn't he? Yeah. That's right. Tell me about the truth. The truth doesn't tell me the truth. It says, one time I had a pink top and I even said it's French. And I said, hey, hey, even said the top of the dress. But mommy said truth doesn't change the truth. That's right. So even if Haven says the cup is red and it's actually pink, the truth doesn't change, the cup is still pink. Isn't that right? Is that your favorite thing to say? The truth doesn't change. No, I had a purple top and I had a top and a star that pink. But I had a purple top that was purple. Like that top. Yeah. I see that.

She never goes to sleep. I never, I never did that. You never did that. She never desired it. You know, it will definitely make me tired. What? Your wife. My lotion. It makes me sleepy. That makes you sleepy. I have a special magic lotion beside my bed that makes some sleepy. But we had a girls night and there would be a wild in my bed. And so we had to use the magic lotion beside my bed and it made them sleepy as soon as they did it. They started yawning. I think we might need some of that magic lotion. That's what Sadie said. We were really, no, they can't go to sleep without it. That's so funny. I never can get a sleep without it. I'm going to have to buy you some magic lotion. Well, you know what I think? I think you did so good. I'm so proud of you. Thank you for answering all these questions. OK. One last question. What? Who is the craziest cousin? Oh. Oh, man. I'll invite your hand on that one.
