Typical scene with my kids below..
They're playing scissors, paper and stone.
Anna: Didi, show paper. (Cos she wants to show scissors and wants to win)
Didi has no reaction, continues to show stone.
Anna: *in higher volume* Didi, show paper.
Didi: No movement.
Anna: DIDI, SHOW PAPER. And biang! She hits ayden. And ayden hits back before proclaiming loudly that jiejie hits him.
Or, Ayden says papa is at home. Anna says he's at work.
Anna: At work.
Ayden: At home.
Anna: At work.
Ayden: HOME!!!! And biang! hits anna.. which will send anna crying and hitting him back.
Very trivial things are required to trigger a scene such as the above..
How? How? What do wise mums here say?
