Recently I bought a magazine on teaching our toddlers. it says we must discipline them to teach them right & wrong. If we don't they won't know & thus give us more headache. Jasmines last blog post..My 1yr old accessment

That happens to my girl not my 4 yr old boy. SO far, it is pretty easy to handle him. As for my girl, probably being the eldest, we have higher expectation of her. Nevertheless, they have yet to make me give up

Facebook games, my kids enjoy it too and they play it quite often.

Like dominique said it, we should teach them from young and uses the best technique that suits your own kids.

I rather blessed in the sense that my 2 girls never really drives me up the wall..not yet..after so many yrs of disciplining them, they know by a look in the eye that if they did something wrong and usually will apologise in private..

couldn’t say that for my boy…he is teribly spoilt by everyone..got to start being firm with him soon..

Toddlers who challenge authority and your parenting really do drive me nuts too. I agree that we should start teaching them from young on discipline and be use the best technique which is suited to their temperment and ability to understand.

I completely agree with the poem, although I might have not been so blunt. I just saw a quote today that said something about how we’re treating children like adults today ()instead of parenting them) and we’re making childish adults for the future. Great thought-provoking post!

well hubby is very lenient to his princess…but on the other hand, i am kinda strict to my angel…eventhough i adore her so much but sometimes she cannot be too spoiled…
well, even a 10 mth old baby is already testing my patience…i wonder what is my patient level when she turns 4 yeard old *headache*

Honey I know how hard is to bring up kids!!!At that phase between 3 till 6 is NERVE RACKING!
Sometimes I feel like I’m about to loose control, but I know this is just a phase!…
Not an easy task at all!
And I agree with you,we have to adapt to fit their growing needs.

Hum, I think that there are a few ideas here. Number one is consistancy. Whatever your rules are they need to be consistant, with consistant consequences. We don’t do the whacking thing. We do either time outs or a loss of priviledges. Depends on the situation. It works over time. Usually the kids get it. But it sure isn’t easy.

The other thing is to NEVER give in. Say what you mean and follow through.

The other thing is to not spoil with food or toys or stuff. Spoil with attention, with hugs, with praise.

These are our basic rules. We’re not golden that’s for sure. There’s still struggle and strife but the kids know what to expect, they know what will get them into trouble, and they know what that trouble will look like. It helps them learn. Sure they’ll test they’re boundaries, sometimes a lot, but that’s what growing up is all about. Not for them to simply learn on command, but to know what CHOICES are the better ones.

Whew. And I’m only on my first cup of coffee!
