To this episode today we gonna talk about um you know something that’s uh I always say it’s something that’s near and Dee to my heart but this whole thing is near and Dee to my heart but you know I I truly am an advocate for kids being
Able to uh um experience things that not only that we might not have had the opportunity to experience when we were younger but just you know to experience life because you know people get stuck to the point where as we grow um we’re just alive but we’re not
Living life you know what I mean and so there are certain experiences and there are certain um knowledge to obtain and all these other things that you know some people don’t allow their children to to have or or maybe they are having some experiences that they maybe shouldn’t be
Having so we gonna break that down and kind of talk about what our thoughts are toward that um and that is in the subject of you know what are or why is it important to expose our children to certain things that may benefit them um on a mental emotional
Uh physical level and then what are some things that we we shouldn’t expose our kids to and why so I’m I’m G start it off with this because you know um you know all glory to God you know I had a single mom who was who was putting
In the work you know what I’m saying each and every day to make sure that we were provided for to make sure that we were um fed roof over our head you know all the essentials um um whether we had to go to Goodwill or had to go to uh
Well they had Ross on the west coast there’s roses over here like all type of stuff right um we made sure we had clothes on our backs blah blah blah however Kama um you know and I talked to my mom about this of course so shout out to you
Love you but you know I talked to her I was like you know there there are certain things that we didn’t get to experience as kids and she didn’t get to experience when she was younger and even in her adulthood she didn’t get to experience things that I feel like she should have
Experienced and we should have experienced but we felt like it was Out Of Reach because we weren’t exposed to it um and and so there’s there’s things like for instance you know uh a lot of people when or a lot of adults when they go on vacations like they go to Mexico
They go to Hawaii they go to you know whatever the case be and they don’t they never take their kids now I get it we all need a break from the kids sometimes trust me I get it however comma um your kids aren’t being exposed to life
Beyond their uh four walls their four walls or their well I want to say four walls but you know their daily radius you know what I’m saying they go to school they go to the playground whatever but they’re they’re not getting an experience of oh you
Know I can go here I can reach out and touch this you know I can you know whatever and I I feel like that hinders the the child I feel like that it kind of puts a a barrier on what they think they can accomplish in life what do
Y’all think about that Dez what you think about that um I’m really I’m really big on that I too was raised by a single mom um but you know my mom was was was was was a little different than yours though my mom was
Um you know she had to work so she would like my Aunt would always go would be taking us places and stuff like that she’ll pay for it but she was never she she came sometime but she didn’t come all the time I’m saying not to say this
I made it to like when my son when my kids especially my younger kid now I’m older and I I just know how to deliver it better to him and what to EXP Expos to and I got more money now too so I can do more things and Expos him to new
Things too but I never try to keep him in a box always let him explore there’s never um anything he couldn’t he can’t ask me I don’t care how crazy it is he can ask me I always made him go out and talk to like you know the kids in the
Neighborhood when we first moved to our first neighborhood even when we moved to Houston I made him go and actually talk to the kids in the neighborhood and not be afraid to do that a lot of kids they get caught up in in the iPads and these
Phones and they don’t know how to Communicate then he he I want to preach social I want him to be social I want him to be you know not afraid to talk not afraid to get up in front of a um a crowd and do a presentation if need be um when he was very little like I mean
Christian started traveling because I travel so he traveled with us all time he’s been to probably more islands and countries than you know a grownup because every time we went somewh he went and I’m not big on really leaving my kids Behind letting somebody watch
Them while I go to Aruba it probably not gonna happen and but that did happen but the only reason why it did because he was in he was in the Northern Mariana Islands with his grandparents you feel me so like oh yeah he’s always traveling
And and and I and I I I believe that that has placed him above a lot of his peers because my my my my nephew that I stay with now my nephew he’s nine and the levels was totally different because he’s never been you know on a plane
Before he’s never been to different states he’s never interact with different types of people you know he’s just been kind of I ain’t gonna say sheltered but he hasn’t been exposed to all these different things that I exposed my son to and you can and you
Can tell you can tell a clear difference yeah it’s a clear difference and my son is very mature for his age but that’s because um he he just been around maturity you know what I’m saying like we didn’t we I I never talked to him in
A baby language like that soft baby talk I never I made him talk I made him complete sentences you know it’s just I just exposed him to something that is not the it’s not the norm like I didn’t treat him like a normal baby I I really
Ever since he was an infant I tried to like make sure he was able to do for self exposed to just going around to talking to people not being a stranger knowing how to start a conversation um man everything he wanted to do I I let
Him do and he’s a big reader he likes to he likes to read about dinosaurs and Science and stuff like that and whatever he’s into I’m gonna especially when it comes to like science and stuff like that I will always get them like um projects and stuff to to do to explore
Whatever he’s telling me about it’s either about planets or about dinosaurs or uh rocks you know things like that so I try I tried and I continue to try to push him to do whatever he want to do be what he want to be and let him
Understand that he needs to do the same thing with his family that’s that’s the most important part to me I want him to be able to do that for his kids like you know I wasn’t able to go out the country until I was a grownup but you know if
You can take your kids out the country like I did you that’s what I’m trying to um expose him to and it’s working sometimes it work too damn good because he spoil now I’m glad you said that I’m glad you said that because that was my next point I feel
Like there’s a lot of adults and trust me I get it um that you know we’re I want to say there’s a fear but there’s there’s some type of there’s something that’s stopping us from continuing to bless our kids you know because you know we think they’re going
To get spoiled we think and they trust me they do get spoiled because they they build these habits but at the same time they deserve it you know what I’m saying they’re they’re living beings that we brought into this world our kids deserve that um now granted they need to have
The right attitude about it however yeah yeah you know me personally as a Believer God put you on this Earth for a reason right and he didn’t put you on this Earth to to suffer and you know and being in pain and anguish and anxiety all the time you know what I’m saying
You’re supposed to you know enjoy the fruits of your labor right so you know for for me it’s like who am I to you know say hey we not gonna take you on you spoil we not g We’re Not Gonna Take You here we’re not gonna take you there
Because you don’t get spoiled no we you deserve the world you know and you need to understand that you know if you put in the hours and you know the effort and the consistency and all of that to do to accomplish things in life to hit your
Goals to hit benchmarks and blah blah blah blah blah you know you should be able to treat yourself you should be able to take your family wherever um and and accomplish whatever you want to accomplish but like I said a lot of people they and you said the word
Sheltered a lot of people do shelter their kids because they’re like okay well you know either one they think they can’t afford it um which I’m about to touch on that in a second um or or two they feel like you know um you know we want our kids
Not to be spoiled we don’t want them to be Bry blah blah blah and like oh man there’s so much stuff out in the world that you know if your kid just sees it um you know they know that it’s it’s another level that they can they can reach it’s another
Thing that they can go after and not only when it comes to ambition but you know there’s there’s literally people in the United States right now who have never been outside of their city they’re never been outside of their state but they dream about vacation and freaking
You know uh Italy and they they want to go to Africa and they want to go but they never been outside of their state like we talked about that one episode people don’t go to other states haven’t seen it probably never will see it it’s like y’all missing on so much life I
Think it’s just a I think it’s just a fear that their the parents installed in them too you know and it comes it comes to Breaking that chain and you don’t want to go out and see other states or anything else like that but then you got
To look inside and be like why don’t I because my parents never did or because I truly fear what’s out there but all that’s been installed by their parents yeah absolutely and and that was that was kind of the thing with my mom is you know it’s not that that she
Didn’t want to and it’s not that she didn’t have the desire to on the inside but you know she was in a routine and you know me talking to her I was like I feel like you’re stuck you know what I’m saying I was like I ain’t I gonna spill her business
But I said what’s stopping you from from leaving regene what’s stopping you from going outside of regene I don’t know why haven’t you stepped across a border ever what’s going on yeah I don’t know you know what I’m saying and it’s because it’s not normal well it’s not perceived to be
Normal for her because it wasn’t done with her she you know her parents didn’t take her out of the uh State her parents didn’t it ain’t got to be a vacation but you know just to be able to see something outside of what you think is reality like there’s other stuff out
Here and when I say exposure like it it does something to your brain you know what I’m saying it when you see things that you’re not used to seeing um positive things that you’re not used to seeing yeah you know it does something to you to to make you want more out of
Life it does something to you to give you drive and ambition and it could be over the littlest thing like you know what I’m saying oh I want to see uh what storage they have you know in this city or I want to see um I want to experience
A new culture or something like that food chains you know like you got things all over all over the coast you right you got like you guys got what Zach be’s and and all this uh Raising Canes on that side and then you know we don’t got
That stuff over here it’s just one of those things that you just got that you can’t shelter your kids that much because honestly I feel like the brattiest kids are the most sheltered you know what I mean the ones that never get to go outside or anything
Else like that because they just want you know they want this this and that in the home and like uh like Dez says you know these parents are shoving these iPads in front of their kids but they’re like oh I can’t afford to go there you
Just spent $2 $300 on an iPad to give your kid and you and you’re not even spending time with him yeah abut you know what I mean it’s it’s just it’s just backwards it’s all backwards you know you know what’s crazy and then I’m gonna let Diego speak but you know
What’s crazy I remember so I just finished telling you I used to be a dancer I used to crump and I probably still got it in me but you know I’m a little older now so um but anyways I used to crump and um you know I remember
Going to a dance event in New York it was in I believe was in the Bronx um and I went to mind you I was a teenager I probably was 14 15 something like that and uh me and my homie me one of my little homies bought a bus ticket
Cost 12 bucks bought a bus ticket to go to New York and freaking you know because of where I was at in life and mentally immature I’m was like all right go ahead you know y you know keep me updated you know blah blah blah and you
Know we went to New York and um those are some of the best times you know I remember because I got to see things like Diego said outside of my quote unquote four walls you know I was like wow there’s really other life out here except for you know in Richmond Virginia
And um I feel like that played a role in my ambition because I was able to see other people do other stuff and other cultures and other like I get to talk to random strangers you know what I’m saying I get to see a lot of weird stuff
On the subway but it was still like fascinating like wow there people out here crazy like that dang it’s crazy you know what do you think Diego what are your thoughts on this um I think when it comes down to exposing our kids to whether ex is experiences or information I think it’s
Uh I think it’s critical and I think it depends on uh on how you’re raised and then on how much on um how is it going to affect the kid right so one thing there a lot of when it comes down to like information a lot
Of the stuff that we hold back as parents or that our parents hold back on us is based on taboo right taboo plays a big part on culture right so like especially for our Hispanics right so if you’re talking about you know sexualy right you know
You ask your mom if uh you know when is it time to use a condom or how to use a condom you get slapped in the face right you don’t talk about sex parents right but you know what happens when when you don’t talk you’re not able to talk to
Your parents about that the first thing that happens is when you when you get that into that experience or that moment where you’re supposed to do the right thing you’re just gonna act on action because you don’t know you want to experience it everybody’s talking about
It you’re just G to go and do it right um and hence why uh Our Generation you got a lot of parents that are like young parents right 15 16 years old you know they have kids kids having on kids why because you know parents you not you’re
Not uh allowed to talk about that with parents you your parents were like oh you should be at school right now you should be talking about this you know and and that was drilled on us on me when I was a kid uh so what I decided to
Do is expose my kids to as much information they can based on their age right um that way it is not a it’s not a thing for them to be like oh my God everybody’s talking about it I want to try it right um they’re going to be like
Oh you know what my dad already talked to me about this I have no curiosity about it I already know what it does what it doesn’t do friends my my kids are not never will be pure pressure because they have been exposed to a lot of things now I’m not
Saying I I Won’t Say Never right but they were going they’re going to experience that peer pressure but they’ll be able to manage it a little bit better because they hold that information right my kids know talk about sexology I’ve talked about every single level based on their age right so
That way they know exactly what to do if they fail in that circumstance my son will ask me anything he’ll pull me to the side hey Dad you know what about do this this this I got some friends well I got a I got this girl what what should I
You know what I mean and and I gave them my advice and then I say all right there’s going to be a moment where you’re gonna have to make the decision mom and dad are not going to be there for you so hopefully the information I
Gave you will allow you to make the right choice right um when it comes down to like weapons right my kids have been exposed to guns they know how to shoot guns I know for a fact 100% that my son will never take a gun and go and act out
Of anger right because he understands what those things do they don’t have curiosity they don’t they don’t see it as a toy right um absolutely obviously I practice safety right I’m not saying that I’m I am uh not safe around my house but because they’re already exposed they don’t have that Curiosity
About it of like oh what does this thing do and then have a NE negligent discharge in my house or whatever right so that’s that uh when it comes on to uh like de was talking about like traveling right uh my I took my kids to
Ecuador uh not only to meet and know their where they’re coming from their culture but also to learn how to be appreciative of what they have and Ecuador considered a second world country right where sixy old kids are in the streets selling candy to make a living right parents send them out my
Son is six years old he’s not out there selling candy right so I out there and I and they I Expos them to that kind of Lifestyle so they can see they’re like oh kids work here they don’t have no shoes they’re walking around wh and you
Know trying to make a living they’re asking for money or whatever and that made them humble you know I mean because when you talk about you know we don’t want our kids to be feel like they’re spoiled well I that’s how I thought my kids to understand that what I’m giving
You is not because I’m trying to Expo you it’s because I want you to be thankful that now you don’t get to experience uh those those um those struggles like all the kids in all the parts of the world you know I mean you get to travel and and
Understand different culture and like de says get to meet other people and stuff but also be thankful that you’re able to do that because not everybody gets the the luxury to do it you know what I mean exactly I love the fact that like de was
Saying like taking his kid out there it forces him to just go out there mingle with other kids my did my kids did the same thing we met up with a with some of my mom’s friends and they had kids that don’t speak English and my kids don’t
Speak Spanish but dude they had the blast of the best time of their life voice and they communicated all by signs it it was hilarious it was awesome but it was funny that is dope playing they were playing Soldiers with two three equadorian kids that speak speak no English whatsoever my kids don’t
Speak Spanish and dude they were out there and just have a blast they didn’t want to when it was time to leave they’re like can we stay here longer and they’re like wow like you know what I mean but if you don’t push them to fcking go out
There and like experience and and stop being shy and whatever they’re they’re not going to have the those those opportunities they’re just G like I said they’re going to go in their rooms and be Hermits and be in their iPads and and and Nintendos and all the stuff and
Never uh be around people and socialize so um it all depends on how you expose it to them I think if you overexpose them you could also do harm right I know people that overdo it right because they don’t want to be parents they want to be friends right there’s a difference
Between being a friend and being a parent right I don’t want everything right um I don’t want my kid I don’t want to talk to my kid about girlfriends and and dates like he’s he’s 13 years old he should know about whether if he’s got a girlfriend and he gets to a
Situation where like he’s got to be safe he knows what to do but I don’t want to be like what’s up uh how many girls you got you be getting them them numbers you know I don’t want to talk about that because he shouldn’t be focusing on
About he should be focusing about school some parents over expose them thinking that they’re doing right and next thing you know now you got a 12 year old acting like he’s 25 right and you getting to that point where like I feel personally uh that uh then they they
Cross that line and they don’t understand the line between I’m your dad and you need to respect me and now they’re like you know they’re they’re able to blow me off because they know too much information that where they think they can you know handle themselves and like dude you don’t even
Know how to wipe your butt yet and you think just because you learned this from your friends you can go out there and be a big dog in the world and little do you know is that you’re setting yourself off for for failure so yeah um it all
Depends on on management I would say like you would you have to expose your kids as much as you can but expose them based on their age this one thing I don’t let schools expose my kids to when it comes on to uh sexualy and all this
Stuff now I decline that stuff because they don’t know how to do it the school system sucks and uh so y now I do it on myself I do it on my terms I tell my kid okay I have a I have a 12-y old and I
Have a 16y old but I tell my 16 year old is way different different 12 year old you know what I mean yeah absolutely and it and it it keeps them it keeps them humble it keeps them aware of of of the world it doesn’t keep them you know
Bubbled up um so I I that’s worked for me um I think uh exposure is not a bad thing as long as you have a good plan and a good control over it but you know absolutely and I think you know just to piggyback on what you just said about
The school system and you know um sexuality everything else the school nowadays um and the government tries to expose our kids to you know I think first and foremost that child is your child yep your your child is your child not anybody else’s child so that’s first
And foremost a parent job anyway and if you’re not taking on that role and responsibility there’s other organizations that will there’s other people that will you know take advantage of an opportunity to to either Miss teach or teach from what they know and what they know might not be accurate for
Your child or for your household or the principles and values that your religion all that stuff all that stuff that you’ve you know um spent you know all of this effort trying to uh instill in your child what they might try to teach your child doesn’t might not uh match up to
You know what you trying to steal in your child so I just wanted to say that you know just to piggyback on that because you know that that’s that’s a big issue in the world today and you know we’re not going to harp on it but um take take control of your household
You know if if you’re the man in the house you’re the head of the house be the man in the house and the head of the house um that doesn’t mean be you know um such a dominant force that you can’t be you know um talked to or you can’t be
Um vulnerable but that does mean uh take control to a point where you’re moving things forward in a in a positive direction toward the vision for your family um so yeah you know whatever you guys do you know let’s let’s try to to give our kids opportunities let’s try to give our
Kids opportunities to see uh to see possibilities to see to see dreams you know what I’m saying when I say dreams I mean to see the the world beyond what they think is the world because when I was was younger I thought the world was the street that
I lived on when I was younger I thought the world was my neighborhood until I start walking further than my neighborhood I was like yo this is crazy out here this is this is other stuff and when I say crazy I mean like dang it’s really it’s really
Different cultures out here it’s really you know um different people I can talk to it’s really different communities it’s really different people you know doing different things other opportunities out here and I think that’s why you know I have the ambition that I have is because and my kids have
The ambition that they have because they see outside of that little box they see outside of you know um what other people may perceive to be normal they see the abnormal and it’s normal for them you know what I’m saying it it it our kids deserve so much it shouldn’t be abnormal
For them to to go to a football game basketball game or you know whatever they like you know what I’m saying it shouldn’t be abnormal for them to go to you know for instance my oldest daughter likes Jazz it wouldn’t it shouldn’t be abnormal for her to go go to a jazz
Concert you know it’s it shouldn’t be a rare opportunity it should be something that’s normal for them because they deserve it not only do they deserve it you know um you brought them into this world right it’s your responsibility it’s your responsibility to to expose them because
Like I said a few minutes ago or a few seconds ago if you don’t expose them to something somebody else will so take the opportunity to be able to to walk your child through that to be able to you know like we said in the first couple
Episodes use it as a teachable moment like we always do as fathers use it as a teachable moment hey you know this guy is a doctor you know let me expose you to you know maybe he could talk to you about what he does and blah blah blah it

Morning and uh you know he was putting his daughter in his car seat and um you know I stopped over there talk to him about the podcast he was like he was I don’t listen to podcast but I’m about to now because he to he takes his father
Thing serious you know what I’m saying that’s how that’s how we all should be we should be excited you know what I’m saying we should be ecstatic about fatherhood because it’s really there’s nothing else like it you know what I’m saying and I get there’s nothing else
Like motherhood shout out to all the mothers um shout out to mama upstairs but you know there’s nothing like fatherhood there nothing that you can compare it to um and the the world needs more fathers that are stepping up to the plate doing what’s necessary for their
Kids so hey this has been another episode of hey Jay can I say things real quick yeah go ahead go ahead what I what I think that a lot of parents don’t do these days and I and you sign off after this is they they don’t expose their
Kids to germs anymore right and then help build their immune systems they don’t take their kids outside I take my kids camping do all that kind of stuff you know parents parents want to avoid like water parks or even to freaking slide in the mall or at the park you
Know like they you put this bubble around your kids and when you let them back out in that world that when that bubble breaks they’re just going to shatter to Pieces they don’t yeah I what I do I expose my kids to Sportsman like good sportsmanship right like I’ll be
Playing games with my kids and I’ll rub it in their face but I want to make sure they react properly because that’s going to happen to them you know or when they win you know they don’t want to they don’t they know not to rub it in my face
Because Dad’s a sore loser but they know they know they know not to gloat because they know what it feels like to be on that other side you know so that good sportsmanship parents please you know expose your kids to germs and I’m not telling them go take your kids to
The hospital let them run around barefoot no I’m talking about let your kids play in the dirt you know and you know and and play outside whatever stop putting bubbles around your kids plain and simple yeah when I went to um was it Lake wash T Tech
That’s the last thing and then we gonna sign off but I went to Lake wash T Tech um that was the first college I went to and um I had an English project talking about stuff like that and doing a research on it it was a research project
Doing research on it I swear I was so astounded by the numbers on the generational shift right because back in the day like you know we always say this but it is what it is back in the day um we used to go to the playground we was
Outside all the time if you scrape your knee or if you cut yourself blah blah blah blah blah you fall off the monkey bars get your tail back up and go do it again keep going figure it out you know what I’m saying we didn’t we didn’t even
See freaking um blood on our hands or something like that until we got in later that night because we kept on playing and so when I was doing the project you know it was it was teaching me about you know the generational shift between or the not the generational
Shift but the um connection between kids not being able to go to playgrounds or them putting uh the little padded stuff at the playground um and anxiety issu issues and depression and um germaphobes and you know granted like we’re saying we’re not we’re not saying that germs that you
Should freaking uh do something to embrace you know an obscene amount of germs but what we’re saying is allow your kids to experience life allow your kids to live life not just be alive because when you don’t you’re you’re causing internal issues you’re you’re causing in things that can
Damage them for life you know what I’m saying you’re causing things that you know uh can strip them from their freedom you know what I mean in multiple ways you know what I’m saying when he’s talking about you know uh going to the mall and playing on stuff like dude
They’re kids let kids be kids we always say this every single episode let the kids be kids you know what I’m saying it’s your job to monitor them and make monitor them and make sure they’re safe you know what I’m saying but also let let the kids run around and you know be
A little reckless sometimes because guess what they gonna fall they gonna learn how to get back up and then that’s a life lesson that they need to know for sure especially yeah teachable moments going back to teachable moments so y’all hey this has been another episode of the father head exclusive please please
