dazz,
C2 is not talking much, only when he needs to tell or ask smthing. maybe your didi Z also doesnt have much to say leh??
for the last 2 weeks, C2 parrots whatever an adult is saying to him. furrows his brows, thinks v hard abt forming his mouth so that the correct sounds come out. super cute la.
i had considered speech therapy for C1 before when he still did not talk at 20/21/22mo. went to look for a friend of friend who basically told me, so young cannot assess yet, if still not forming 2-3 word phrases by age 3, time to press the panic button.
but you will know by mummy instinct whether he understands you anot......? his receptive vocab might be good, just minimal expressive vocab only. (haha, now i sound like a speech therapist too.... i find it is easier to deal with these allied health professionals when i attempt to speak THEIR language)

Not even "no". haha.. haiyoh... i should wait another year before pressing the panic button?

my lao da only started CC 2.5 yrs old & only 6 mths after then talked more - before taht also bables - every child is different too. but i am sure CC encourages a child to TALK earlier.
anotehr girl her age came in only 3.5 yrs old 1 yr later - not so much scentences tooStuck to my girl - ai yo now these 2 are teh chatterboxes of the class le - they have to SEPARATE them during class or the teacher canot teach & both of them cannot benefit/learn anything either.
I gave the teachers my blessings to separate them. meal times & play time ok - they are back together.

piglet08,
you must be persistent in whatever method you use for it to work. it will take them sometime to understand the concept, must be persistent.
maddie,
i never really think of that leh. i do leave them to cry and ignore them if they are naughty. after they calm down then i will hug them and explain what happen.
if they do fall or get hurt, i will carry and hug them loh and tell them its ok, they can learn from mistake and not to make the same mistake in future.
i'm not sure if these will make them independent or not.
as for didi, he is still so small. just carry him lah.
dazz,
i think boys are slower. you can start to worry later when he is 2 years old. he is in school now, he will pick up his speech, maybe not really word or sentence yet but you can tell the difference that he is trying to communicate.
yu ze is very slow in his speech that my pd wants me to send him for speech theraphy at 2 years old if things doesn't improve. in the end, we didn't send him cos i do see improvement after he joins cc. from totally/almost no words till i see him trying to make sounds (his own baby talk) till slowly it become more recognisable. even his teacher commented that he is improving in that sense.
he join cc when he can't speak and only word teacher can make up is 'play brown', he doesn't even know how to say papa and mama loh.

Hi mommies,
When will the terrible-2 stage ends????? My gal is really testing my patience nowsadays, almost every morning acts up before going to school, then after take nap wakes up cry and whine. Haiz..... so irritating on my nerves and my temper will flare up. Luckily #2 is a chill-out boy, so at least i don't have an orchestra of crying at home!

Ruru,
I think there's no ending to Terrible 2 as in not so fast ba. TodO also going through this Terrible 2 stage, always throw his temper when he don't gets his way, keep pinching us or pull our hair!!!!! I try to stay cool most of the time btu at times when I'm so irritated, I will use rubber band and threaten him to stop all these acts. If he don't then sorry lor, the rubber bands will end up "piaking" on his tender skin. He used to be scared of cane but cause I nv caned him , always threaten only so now when he sees me lifting up the cane, he still continues but when it comes to rubber band, he is really scared because I do it if he don't stops his temper
Bbd,
I think maybe ard 4 ba. My niece used to be naughty when she's ard 2-3 yo then when slowly from 3-4yo, she became a lot better! I guess because they know how to talk to us (as in we understand their language) and they knowing what we are trying to tell them.
Celyn,
I hope I can be as firm as you really. Everytime after I "piak" TodO, I go softhearted and kiss him all over again telling him how much I love him and Papa Orangey will roll his eyes lol...

eh I also dont know but i guess for diff kids diff bah but one thing i know for sure is, if we dont mould their character now, the terrible stage will not end forever and will continue into teenage years etc etc.
todl knows perfectly that i am upset with him, he can even tell me mama is angry, though they can't process logic now, they can read our faces so he better know not to anyhow throw tantrum.

maddie,
this lazy mummy refuse to toilet train, will leave the job to cc. will get cc to start when she is older like 2.5 years old or when she refuse to wear diaper. she is still cooperative in terms of changing diaper.
cos yu ze is still not toilet train for night, he tend to poo in the middle of the night and wake hubby up to change for him. he won't come to me to change cos he knows i will refuse to change for him and will make him sleep with his poo. had not done it but had warn him. i think he still dare not try.

I will jia you de! Must show YH that I am more persistent than her! lol. & now I am keeping up on some of Cellow's post in disciplining kids!
BB,
TodL is different cos h just started school not long ago rt?
YH behaves in a manner now whenever she knows I am dressing up for work, she quickly asked me to carry and hug so tight that at times I really find it difficult to breathe! It feels like she is strangling me! & Cheek to Cheek some more!
This morning when I wanted to leave her with my mom and go to work, she refused t let me go and was pulling my blouse so hard that she almost tore it!
Haiz.... I find that this behaviour is getting worse. She is really refusing her daddy to carry her too and I hope this will not break her daddy's heart when he sees such behaviour though right infront of daddy, I always tell her that daddy loves you alot and etc,....

Hi Maddie,
Yah, it is a v looonnnggg terrible 2 phase, I need to up my patience level by a mile and more!!!
Toilet-training - vvvvv slow. After 2+mths of coaxing, my gal finally get used to the idea of sitting on a potty but so far i had never succeeded in getting her to pee in it. Now I let her go diaperless in the afternoon and let her pee in her shorts.

Hi Mummies.
Vicma: No lah, E is not that advanced. She just likes to talk alot. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] She likes to paint (i.e. make a mess) so we try and let her do it once or twice a week just before bath time. No harm done when we spread large sheets of mahjong paper around her. She is not that keen to learn the alphabet though. Maybe this mummy is just kiasu. Grin.

Vic,
Thanks for the info! Shall keep a look out!
Ming,
I agree with Vic, I feel TodE is very very advnaced lor!!! Can say something like 'E cannot eat sweet because will have toothache' something like that!
YH can only say 我不要！我要拿这个！or Yu Hsien 要拿这个. Seems like she can only conversate better in Mandarin than in English cos she spent most of the times with my parents. Should I be worried of her English?

Ruru: diaper less I only let her do on occasion. Mostly when he refuse to wear diaper. Haha. So far she refuse to sit on potty. I guess am stressing myself cos don't wanna buy XL diaper. Haha. I give up getting her to sit on potty.
I never get any workbooks or what at home lei. Get from where? Only borrow library books the board kind. She cannot tell what is abc tho she can sing the abc song. Counting also don't really get it lor. Everytime I ask her how many are there she will count 1-10.

Workbooks I thikn they start mainly in Nursery? Thikn Pre-N1 and Pre-N2 mainly coloring? I know TodO's teacher told me that in Pre-N1, they will let them do more of abstract paintings and colouring to advance their knowledge to sense, touch and learn the different colors around them.
