JJMom, but it looks sooo nice. I think not that cannot clean properly. Just makes it harder.

I've never left Jo to cry before. When she cried in protest, I would usually think of ways to distract her, and mostly removing her from the situation.
Like, she loves to play with the dogs' water. Initially, I always said No and then take away the bowl. She would start to cry in protest and I would quickly give her something else to play. After several times, she knew that's no boundary and never attempted to play with it again. But she's back to it recently. I'm applying the same rules. This time, whenever I take the water away, she knows that's the protocol and there's not even a whimper of protest. She knows she shouldn't do it. And quickly she moves on to something else.
So I really think you're the best judge to determine which method works best. For eating, again, I'm in the minority, if she doesn't want her food, I won't force it on Jo. My theory is if she's hungry, she will eat.

<font color="119911">Karen,
yes, tat do sounds like a reasonable theory - 'u r not allow to play with A, y don't u play with B instead?'
we still do use this method at times but sometimes Nat will push/throw the item B tat we offer her (-_-)'' & get another 'No' from me...
we use this method on our dog too, he is not allow to bite shoe so we tell him tat & give him a biting toy instead
I always think training dogs is rather similar to handling lots of things in our life too
will give this a try, thanks
for eating, i m the same too, don't really force feed, sigh...it's my mil who is doing it

everafter,
if it's just the packet drink then like what karen said can let him play with it but remove the straw. Dun just take it away from him. Ask for his permission to take away. I think we still need to respect our bubs in this aspect and it's also teaching them to ask for things nicely.
If all else fails, carry him and give him a hug to calm him down. Then explain nicely to him what went wrong for the both of you.

i totally agree with u on respecting our kiddos & i also think they have the right to qns us on y we don't let them have their way or beat them.
it's really not an easy task, disciplining our kiddos (-_-)'' & checking back on ourselves tat we don't use too many -ve stuff like 'NO', don't raise our voice at them, have moral behaviour etc...stress...</font>

tat's a sure fail plan, leaving the disciplining job to the teachers...it's totally crazy & irreasponsible to entrust such matters to any1 else & then blames them for any wrong doing of the kid!
i strongly believes everything starts at home.</font>

My sore throat is back!
Went to the same GP. Scolded him. This is my 4th visit to him within a month! He changed teh anitibiotics. If this time round still don't work, i'm gonna get the records of the meds prescribed and change doctor.
Amazing Marcus. I'm plagued with this for almost a month, yet, he's strong as a bull still. Amazing how tough our babies are.

<font color="0077aa">hi girls, am back...
k, invisible grill. u girls know how steel cables look like right? this is exactly it except it has a PVC cover over the cable. Steel cables are known to be exceptionally strong so thats a plus point. My parents' place actually use it for the balcony where the end points are drilled into the ceiling and on the parapet.
It is not sharp but because it is fixed, you will have probs cleaning windows. Hence, in my humble opinion, it would be good for non window areas. And if you really do intend to use if for areas with glass, then you would prob have some probs...
Cost wise, my parents paid $750 for the balcony area which is about 4 door glass panel long...</font>

everafter,
I am thinking can you carry bryan with the empty package and ask him to throw it into dustbin himself? Praise him if he do well. Just a suggestion, not sure it works for u? Sometime I will ask Isaac to help out in simple chores, he loves to kapo lo! Hee....he will give me a big smile or clap after getting compliments from me.

lilbluey,
I had encountered those kind of parents before. Haha! They can tell me my son is an angel and I don't believe that he did xxxx. In my 2nd year of teaching, a parent complained to my HOD about me scolding her boy (P3). He was rude so I rebuked him. And she actually said he's a very polite boy come from good background blah blah. Then when he was in P5, he said the f word to his mum. She came crying to the school counsellor saying that she has lost control of her son. The counsellor came to tell me and my reaction was obi good. Haha!
everafter,
but if he's using the straw correctly, meaning it's not a danger to him then let him have it. Any reason you want to take it away? Or ask him for permission first before taking it away?

hi Mint.. so horrid right. I relief teach when i was in uni and i handle this sec 1 class (normal academic)...this boy is so horrible, he throw the desk at his friend. When i asked him does his parents discipline or punish him, he has the cheek to tell me - i am the king at home, my parents say so.
wah man! win already lor!

everafter,
adopt one or two methods and persevere through it. First time it will not have any reaction but continue at it and Bryan will get the msg.
p.s. I just gave a time out to Regina just now cos she was crying non-stop and refused to tell me what she wanted. After the time out she was ok liao.

but there really is such a thing as electric fence. Used for dogs mostly.

agree with mint lor. Why can't he have the straw? Actually they're pretty nimble and except for knives, Jo hasn't hurt herself playing with straws/chopsticks/forks. Oh not that I've let her play with knives.

Hello, long time no "see". Been super busy recently. Working hours is 7 to 7pm, not mentioning marking time after work. But strange, I still enjoying this kind of life. Guess I really like to torture myself.
Now the topic on discipline? Actually for me (crossing fingers), Kai Tong was never someone who throw temper, all she did is to pretend crying but her acting is very bad cause her cry look as though she is laughing. Haha...
But when she wants something n I dun allow, I will look at her straight into the eyes and say the reason why I dun allow her to have it (苦口婆心地劝她). In another way, I NAG. Haha... I will go on n on. Until she buay tahan, abandon her mission n went on to play something else. My mum call me siao cause she think my gal wun understand me. I dun care, I just go on n on.
I will say things like if u did this, u may blah blah blah. N if u blah blah blah, mummy will be very upset, so u dun want mummy to be upset right. Then u dun do this, ok? (no response from her) ok? (no response from her) ok? (she will run away n I take it that silence mean consent) Hehe
