hi mummies,
woah lao, today's posts so many until took me some time to scan thru.
dsii,
you're not a useless mum. maybe u have to keep trying certain tactics. recently, L's behaviour has improved quite a lot from tantrum throwing to be more cooperative. i realised in the past i was too strict and always raising my voice at her and beat her until she became very frustrated and always whine and sit on the floor and cry at little things. just recently, i tried to be patient with her and talk to her nicely and to make sure that she hears wat i said. like in the past for eg, when i tell her to take a bath while she was watching tv and then abruptly turning off the tv, she would whine and cry. so this time i tell her nicely that i'm going to turn off the tv becos she has to bathe then later come back and continue watching and she actually didnt cry or whine. and when she does soemthing right i'll tell her that she's a good girl. it helps that i tell her to be a good gal when she's about to be uncooperative. and when she is misbehaving, i'll ask her if she wants to get beaten (instead rasing my voice and then beat her) whc she'll say no and she'll stop wat she's doing. in the past she's also the type who doesn't listen when i kept repeating myself with a harsh tone. or maybe its a phase she's going thru. perhaps u can keep trying to talk nicely to him, try something different. sori for being loh soh, just wanna share.
sincerity,
meet on fri leh! me jus got well so looking fwd to meet up.
re: venue for this fri
actually we can go to airport provided all dun mind to split the cost of parking. if go there for about 3-4hrs, parking fee should be about $7-8+. take it as sharing cab and split the fare. wat say u all? there is a cafe next to the arrival hall that closes at 1am. and if wanna drag after 1am, we can go to cheers to buy snacks and sit at those chairs outside cheeers to continue chatting.
sheris,
welcome back! wrt to L going to playgrp, i've decided to do so when her health is more stabilized cos she gets sick every mth and recently her PD said to hold back the idea of sending her to sch now. but do remember to give me teddy playgroup's contact for future reference hor. thnx.
