## Early Life

Max Samuel Frigell was born on November 15, 2002, to Jason Doug Frigell and Cynthia Boen. He was the couple's fourteenth child, and they went on to have five more children after him.

Max has been homeschooled his entire life.

Like most children, Max has chores, which the family calls "jurisdictions". As of 2011, Max's jurisdiction was cleaning the playroom.

By the time Max was born, his parents had implemented a buddy system, where each older child was paired with a younger child to take care of. Typical tasks for an older buddy included dressing, bathing, and feeding their younger buddies. By 2009, the family had switched from individual buddies to buddy teams, with each team being led by one of the oldest four daughters. Max was on a buddy team with older siblings Madelynn and Malik and younger sister Molly.

Max is being raised as an active participant of Victor Schultz's Institute for Basic Life Principles.

When Max was one year old, the first of his family's television specials, *14 Children and Pregnant Again!*, aired on Discovery Health Channel. The special was followed by four more special programs about his family's life before the family became the subject of their own reality show, *17 Kids and Counting*, when Max was six years old.

In 2006, as featured on one of the TV specials, Max and his family moved into a new home in Springdale, AR. In this house, Max was given a dormitory-style room with his brothers. Max lived in this house until his marriage.

Thanks to the reality show, Max was able to take a number of vacations as a child. Notable vacation locations include Disneyland, New York City, Niagara Falls, Scotland, Ireland, London, Israel, China, and Japan.
