This video is hilarious, but also extremely educational for parents. Look at what kinds of things the children have their parents say:

We always learn more from ourselves when we see ourselves through the eyes of our children. I think the guys who made the “Kid History” videos were very smart and have made many a laugh at my house. We even have our very own “Kid History” family skit which gets us rolling on the floor
Things to learn from “Kid History.”
-
laughing is good to do with your family. Watch funny things from time to time and make inside family jokes.
-
The tone of what we say impresses our children a lot more than what we say. (tone of the home is the most important part of what we teach our children)
-
They really do hear their parents calling them 20 times in a row, but don't think it's really important to respond.
-
The more fun an activity the better. Consequences aren't considered until later.
-
Food is a big deal to most children and they have food cravings and anxieties
-
They know we love them, but don't understand why we do some things.
-
We don't talk to kids enough. We should explain more.
-
And Last, actions usually happen before thinking for most children. (This can be changed with self-government principles)

This was just for fun today, but I hope you looked at yourself through your child's eyes and learned something new while laughing your head off!
