Regarding her attitude toward self-defense against bullies, Jaiden said, “I don’t regret my decision about what I taught my son.”
Regarding her attitude toward self-defense against bullies, Jaiden said, “I don’t regret my decision about what I taught my son.
‘People think there are other ways to deal with bullies, such as telling an adult or walking away. But the problem with bullies is that they don’t go away.
‘They find their purpose and are focused on it. They will keep coming back if you don’t defend yourself.
“Growing up, no one ever taught me that I could defend myself physically or verbally and a lot of the time I would just stand there.”
Her eldest son was diagnosed with a learning disability, with Jaiden believing the need for self-defense is even more important.
‘In our case, my five-year-old has ADHD and autism and with that diagnosis the risk of becoming a victim of (bullying) is even greater.
“Not only will learning self-defense against bullies be helpful, but later in life, if he ever needs to use self-defense, he would be prepared on how to respond.”
“I think there are parents who believe that physical altercation is forbidden, but honestly, their children are probably the so-called bullies.”
She shared some of her other parenting no-no’s, including not allowing sleepovers and not forcing her boys to clear their plates.
The last thing she has thrown dirt on is her family’s sleeping arrangements, as she believes the whole family gets a better night’s sleep together.

“People tend to think that if you don’t allow your child to be a child and do things that a child does, you are being a helicopter parent or limiting his or her experiences.
‘Some people believe that you should force your children to sit and eat, regardless of what you have cooked for them.
‘I would rather make him another small meal than cause him a lifetime of trauma by shouting and forcing him.
“I don’t let my kids stay over because you have to worry about the parents, the siblings, or absolutely anyone who could come into that house that you have no idea about.
“I won’t allow my children to be exposed to that because we don’t have the same morals in our household.”

“My babies and myself have always had a better night’s sleep when I co-slept,” she revealed
Jaiden believes that many people have the same views when it comes to teaching self-defense to their children
‘As a newborn, I was always so afraid for their safety when they weren’t next to me.
‘My babies and I have always had a better night’s sleep when I co-slept.
‘I’m also breastfeeding, so it was just that much more convenient to have my baby so close when it comes to nighttime feedings.
‘Many people think that co-sleeping is unsafe for all kinds of reasons.
‘I use the Safe Sleep Seven, a guideline for safe sleeping with newborns (and) younger children.
‘My five-year-old occasionally sleeps in his own bed, but always ends up in our bed at the end of the night.’
Safe Sleep Seven is a “set of guidelines designed to make bed sharing safer for a baby and their parents,” the report said Healthline.
It includes no smoking inside or outside the home and no alcohol, as well as caring for the mother both during the day and at night.
It is also recommended to sleep the baby on the back and keep the baby lightly clothed without swaddling to prevent sweating.
