All About Your Child

Though there are hundreds of cases where parents abused their own children, I still believe that most parents would do anything for their child, so long as the child grows up to be a healthy, happy kid.

Keatkeat has changed alot since last month, December 2010. He is more independent, more considerate and definitely more ‘manageable‘. *laugh* If you have been following my blog, you would know that the challenges I have with Keatkeat had been an uphill struggle.

Lack of concentration, no interest in almost everything, self-centered, petty, know-what-needs-to-be-done-but-choose-not-to-do sort of personality, sore loser, poor health, insensitive…. etc.

Ever since last year end, he had started to show great changes in terms of personality. He had been doing and saying things that are not quite him. In fact, I am extremely glad to say that I am LOVING THE CHANGE I see in him now.

Today, he said, “Mommy, while I do my homework, you sing this!” He passed me a few papers with famous Chinese New Year songs lyrics printed on them and he continued to say, “You don’t need to teach me, I will do my homework on my own. You just sit here and sing.”

*laugh*

I have become an instant living radio!

*laugh*

Oh well, so long as he is willing to do his worksheets and putting a grin on his face as he does his school work, I am EXTREMELY willing to cooperate.

And so I sang.

He sang too, while his hand got busy with the pencil on his worksheet. There were a few occasions whereby he even rocked slightly to the rhythm. Wow!

He was all smiles as he did his homework well and finished in a flash!

Wow! He reminded me so much of my schooling days!

I would turn on the radio, sing and do my homework. Even during examination preparation period, I would do that too! *laugh* Aaawwww…. my boy is so much like me in this aspect!

I remembered my Father often scolded, “How can you concentrate on your school work when you are listening to the radio and singing at the same time?! Do you know what are you reading and writing?”

Oh well, I proved that I KNOW what I was reading and writing even though I was singing and listening to the radio with my good results! *wink*

So to me, even if I had to be a living radio, in order to get Keatkeat to do his homework with happiness beaming all over his face, I am perfectly alright to do it. *Grin*

What Parents Would Do For Their Child

Appetite Booster
Yes, I admit, I have not been happy with the rate Keatkeat’s body is growing. Its just not fast enough!

Classmates who used to be his height last year or the year before last are already taller than him now. Whereas at home, the height difference between him and his younger brother, with the age difference of 18 months, is closing up.

How?!

Well, during Preschool and Primary One period, I let him try this Appetite Stimulant to let him speed up during meal time and increase the quantity of food that goes into his mouth at each meal.

After two years of testing, I must say that it truly worked. Keatkeat’s appetite improved and so did his speed of chewing and swallowing his food.

Binbin did not like the taste of it. He did not even want to get it down his throat. In the end, he spat it out. So after trying that very first tablet, he ‘vowed‘ never to touch it again.

Oh well, it was MY FAULT!
I saw the word ‘Chewable‘ on the orange packaging and I thought it was like rubbery, THAT sort of  chew-a-bility. Something similar to Gummy Bears Candy, but it was FAR from that.

Although it does not taste like a medicine tablet, it does reminded me of Antacid which you need to chew on, when you have gastric problem. So it was definitely not that pleasant for Binbin.  *sigh*

After trying one myself, I was rather surprised that Keatkeat liked it. *eyebrows raised*

So in the end, I went searching for this alternative (below) for Binbin:

In the end, Keatkeat preferred this too. So since its an Appetite Stimulant and a Vitamins supplement, I see no reason to look further.
*smile*

But the sad part is…. Keatkeat is still not growing fast enough. Now, 3rd in queue from the front in class. *pout*

He could eat an adult’s portion of food since Primary 1, but where did all the food go to? How come its not showing much growth on the body. Did it go to the hair? *laugh*

Hhhmmm… Actually, he is more troubled than his mother over his height, because strangers are starting to point at Binbin and asked if he was the elder brother. *faint*

Oh well……so long as he is healthy, I think that’s all that truly matters. *wink*
