re:little neuro tree

tinkabel, haha! my son oso was super addicted that's why i decided to wean him off. Nothing to do take pacifier, see pacifier on the table also take and put in his mouth.
michviv wow! So many teeth? my son only has 4 on top and 2 below. Is he slow?
Re: Flashcards. I'm using the Glen Doman set, but dunno much about the linking method. Is that the Shishida method or some other method. Any websites for me to browse?

cindy, we took her to a $10 cut ($6 for infant) after her visit to the doctor. She was cranky and ended up the hair slant one side lol. Normally my granny and aunty bring her to a home salon and she very guai one according to them. I find she's more well behave when me or hubby not ard.
cindy, she has a pacifier milk bottle & water mug in school, they will sterilise everyday for the kiddos.

our kids development:
mummies, i find that the more enrichment course and the faster your kid develops, the more demanding they are and of course the more active and naughty.
Hanns considered quite fast in term of physical and speech but he is very very active, very demanding and very naughty that at times I wanted to give up. He is running and "cheong" everywhere, nevermind that he will fall, just climb up and cheong again, refused to let me hold him, wanted to climb stairs all the times, even climbing window grills now. He can repeat single or 2, 3 words after me easily, recognised 1 to 10 and say it out in english and japanese, whatever he wants, he will said " I want"
We talk to him alot, got my 3 yrs old nephew to play, fight, push, snatch with him all day so I guess that contribute to his development, will copy whatever my nephew do, start to fight back when my nephew bully him by biting him.
He is currently attending shicida but I dun think shicida method is that fantastic that one die die must attend to cultivate genuis but I find him very naughty, maybe fast development has their cons too, find that he is at a stage where i still cannot reason with him and as he knows how to express himself, we cannot ignore him too, when he woke up, he will stand and called out Pa Pa, Ne Ne, I wait! and keep calling out till we give in. in the past, if he cry, we ignored till he give in, now we can understand his demands, simply cannot ignore.
Now that i am pregnant, I really very tired running around with him whole day, told my hb that will send him to childcare when he is 18 mths, hope he dun go there and bite others kids, sigh!
how you mummies disciphine your kids at this age, can we beat? i talk and talk and he dun even look at me. He loves to scream too, how? how? put him in stroller or rocker or high chair, he wants to climb out.

I started with the Glenn Doman method. I made them myself, I tell you, i spend quite a bit of time to do the flashcards, esp the dot cards. Luckily, my hubby helps me with the pasting of the dots.
I bought some sets from SM also, started flashing them. Normally, we will do it at night and will keep away those cards after flashing. I do buy some other cards where I'll flash and allow her to play with them.
How do we do the linking memory?
Lazykat
My gal also starts to tip-toe. I got a niece at home just starting to walk and she's tip-toe-ing. My mum says my gal is in the copy-cat phrase now. Just got to constantly remind her lor.

Gemini, I just read a bit on the linking memory. Show picture cards and tell a story. Each time, kid can recite or point to cards in the correct order, u add another card. So by right, by abt 2, they should be able to do like 20-50 cards in the right order. Apparently helps to enhance their memory.
Do u find ur gal liking the flashcards? for some reason, Matt likes the Mandarin words better (ie appears more attentive). But lots of patience and perseverance man... There are days when I come back feeling so tired and still hv to drag myself to do flashcards with him. But luckily I take turns with my hubby. hahaha...

Happy, I dun send Claire to any classes but she is equally demanding, active & naughty! I guess nothing to do with enrichment classes lah...
But like what Gemini19 says, they re at the copycat stage lor... So having ur nephew around, Hanns will follow the behaviour suit lor...
I actually realised IGNORING them when they re being demanding is the best. Except that u got to be hard hearted and thick skinned. I received alot of stares from the public when Claire throws tantrums and i refused to pacify her.
I sometimes whacked Claire's hand & butt in a bid to discipline her. Oh, our little ones are too young for reasoning... so no point talking to them at times!

Happy,
i agree that our todds no longer guai guai and starting to be more assertive. I did beat ZY on her butt before, but each time i did it, i regretted it almost immed. Worse, it makes her cry harder.. so now i try to calm myself down and try to calm her/distract her before reasoning to her. But when it comes to food, we usually give in to her demands (giving her the benefit of doubt that it is due to real needs) when it comes to wanting morning milk, snacks.
I will hold her and ask her to look at me when we talk, and if she screams, dun scream back, she will be bored after a while if no one responds to her. At least i know my gal chi ruan bu chi ying - so i find softer tone works on her better than shouting at her (unless its something dangerous)
Gd luck, must hv been much tougher now that u r pregnant!

Gemini,
funny thing is there is no baby doing that for her to copycat.. so i suspect she sees me in high heels hence pretend to walk with heels too.. now she also pretends to wear makeup, so farnie! These little ones..
Tinkabel,
u so on.. me not so on in flashing the cards, i prefer to show her the "real thing" but prob ineffective compared to constant flashing cos their memory still short.

Linking memory:
My nieced attended SM when she was 2 and i coached her on linking memory before and is very impressed. Just flash the cards that tell a story (sometimes the stories doesn't make sense type) and then lay the cards on the floor and ask which card comes first and next. After a few times, she can really remember all and she can pick the cards for me real fast.
Gemini and MissA,
your todds attending which day/time for SM? I'm starting G in April for their Sat 4.30pm class at springleaf

happy: I also beat Matt's hand. Beat a few times, then he just stand there and cry for a while. Ignored me after that for 1 hr. This happened last night. Sigh, but he never learns. Always do back the same thing that makes me angry. My mum say, after beating him, dun pick him up, let him come to me, else next time he will not be scared if I beat him again.
happy hope you're doing GREAT with your pregnancy so far.. hehe i forgot, but i think it's a princess? hehe!!
tinkabel, kaye, lazykat and happy:: each time T screams or shouts or just expects to be served, i scold him and tlak to him nicely and beat his hand and butt, he thinks i'm playing with him. 2 seconds later, he burst out laughing and try to repeat his naughty acts. AHHA!!
poissons:: wonder if there's any more slots for sat? i tihnk not la hor.. probably on wait list hehe!! How's G?
kaye:: i just saw your blog, sigh poor claire, i really hope that she gets this prob solved soon!!

morning mummies,
i finnally appear again after MIA for so long =P
zzz,
congrats! another brave mummy.
tinkabel,
me too, i grind my teeth when i sleep. my bro does tat too. wonder if it's stress-related.
Grinding Teeth:
Jovan started grinding his teeth recently. we will try to stop him or distract him when he does tat. he has a really cheeky & cute look when he grinds his teeth, like he is up to some mischief.
Pacifier:
J used to take pacifier only when he sleeps. after he turned one, he just suddenly refused the pacifier. we never tried to wean him off. the same thing happened to my fren's daughter.
Flashcards:
think i'm the only mummy who never do flashcard. i only read to him. now he is more interested in reading. sometimes he will request us to read a book to him.
Walking/Talking:
J can run alittle & sometimes he tries to tiptoe when walking. he can say quite a few words now - Daddy, 爸爸, 妈妈, Auntie, 抱抱, mum-mum, ball ball. i have heard him say - ABC, orange, milk, up, down, shoe, knock - but not as frequent as the first set of words.

cindy,tinkabel,
yes, sometimes that happens with Hanns, he think i am playing with him and he laughs when i beat him. I am just worry that he will develop bad behavior problems as he grows cos my nephew never been so difficult leh.
poissons,
with hanns behaving so actively, I sometimes wanted to withdraw him from SM cos he always walk around and the teacher there for their age are mostly junior so they tends to be too slow for hanns, he likes fast speed learning, if teacher too slow, he wants to go down and walk or get distracted already and most actively, i am the one doing instead of him, one hand trying to grab him to his chair, one hand stopping him from throwing the things off the table and one leg trying to stop the table from moving away and one leg left to balance him with me, after the lesson, I am so so tired. This is his 2nd term and he is getting worse, last term, he can still sit still for quite a while, now cannot, I wonder if others face the same problem as the kid grows older in SM.

cindy,
me now in my 12 weeks plus, so i dunno if it is a girl or boy, hope it is a girl too but last night dreamt of a boy leh and funny thing is in the dream I know it is a boy thru dripping my blood and when the blood shows a certain pattern, it is a girl or a boy, my sil one is a girl and mine a boy again.... hope it doesn't comes thru cos my sil just gave birth to a boy
these days my life so busy with hanns, parents and trival matters that sometimes I just cannot breath, kind of regretted quitting my job to be a SAHM, maybe after the 2nd one will try to look for job again.

Happy, dun worry too much lah... Dun intro cane to him yet lah... Still young for them to understand. Must emphasize time and time again! Their memory are still short!

kaye,
martial art/sports? no way, he will come back and hit me, i will let him learn piano and golf, hope to get him to be more patience. funny thing is before he was 7 months, i always wish him to be more active cos he was fat and lazy, refused to move, turn and dun really show much interest in most things, so i bring him to attend positive bb course, just one trial and I said I wish for hanns to be more active in front of the class and look wat it got me into now

Cindy,
Sigh..talk abt G, when it rains, it pours. Just as I thought he has recovered and back to his normal self, this morning he suddenly threw up on his bed at 6am! after we changed his sheets, he puked another time. In total, he puked abt 5 times before we left for work. Just brought him to the pd and she said he had caught some bugs. We reckon he could have gotten the bug from my sis's son, cos' he had the same symptoms 2 days ago and my mum also looks after him..
Super sianz..since the start of this year, he has seen the PD for 5 times liao!
