Funny, my YouTube account recommended to me the other week Family of 10 build Gingerbread Houses. I need to say, that I have not watched any YouTube families in the past, I find my algorithm goes more towards gardening, tiny homes, travel, and DIY’s. But I was sick in bed and had a YouTube binge watching day. And this came up.
First of all I would love to congratulate this woman, she looks incredible for birthing and raising 10 unique children. I think the reason why they have grown to their popularity is the uniqueness of their dynamic. I don’t believe it is an act because it is apparent that the older ones do have their social freedoms and hobbies. The episode today showed the ‘Nappy Gang’ hanging out while 2of the older ones practiced 90’s alt rock on their electric guitar and base.
I noticed that it is as if mother Tiana has given or assigned the older children one of their younger siblings. If you notice Jerusalem usually has his eye out on little King James, or Romeo is looking after Aphrodite, and Cleopatra watches over Nephratit. So even though she is filming her children, she is teaching them the values of taking care of one another and respect. Her teenages are so patient for their younger baby siblings. It is as if they were The parents. Another thing that I noticed is that Tiana has a fantastic dynamic and all age appropriate with all her children. She gives them love and respect and they reciprocate to her.
The religious factor shouldn’t put people off. She doesn’t proclaim their beliefs but only really mentions that they are a Christian Family and that she is blessed for god giving her the life she has. There is absolutely nothing bad about this, but a beautiful guesture of her gratitude. They do live in Finland ??, and Finland is predominantly Christian religious country. There is a lot of great reasons to live in Finland as it is said to be one of the happiest countries in the world. Taxes are high, it is a democracy, but healthcare is provided for all people free of charge, University is free to citizens of Finland. They have some of the best drinking water and they are very active and make health and technology a majorty of their economy.
Tiana dedicates her attention to all her children, you can see this. Often large families feel like they just become a number or lost in the bunch, or middle child syndrome, but this dynamic doesn’t appear to have these issues as we can see she gives all her children equally and age appropriate attention. Meanwhile she still balances her own time. This most likely is because of the well rounded caring relationships all her children have with each other.
It looks like her husband Paul, as he is in the vid, he is not looking to be a focus of her videos. But that’s fine. They have a life to live on camera and off camera. Perhaps the YT channel helps them with an income to go towards their large family experiences and life style. Which is great her family needs the experience to travel and part take in activities.
Thing I’ve wondered about them is,
1. I’m curious if the Veganism has contributed to the beautiful even temperament of this family dynamics, even though as it looks on camera, they children get a nice helping of sweets ? “lollies” as Tiana says. I love that!
2. Also the white minimal theme. You’d almost think for a large family you wouldn’t want white. Although thinking about it more, to me it totally makes sense. How easy is laundry ? washing if it’s all the same, colours can be extra hard to care for, and even though whites are hard to take care of. With proper care and more a minimalist it’s great. There is. It gives a peaceful sense to her videos as well, where the little ones still have baby shades of pink and blue. The older ones stick to white. But I have heard Taina ask her children if they were wearing colour, like the older ones, so she doesn’t restrict them from their choice to wear colour. It seems like a choice and a dress code for her videos. But that also gives her videos the uniqueness feel that they have.
I wish this family well as the children seem to be very well rounded and it would seem that home schooling has been in their favour. I hope they all grow to be happy and healthy and successful has the familybof 10 branches and grows with the years ahead, ?
