Explorers, I think you should own a blog. Good morning. |
Electronzeez:Smh. The way you reason though... |
Seal7:The kinda movies that interests you though ![]() |
Seal7:I'm entitled to it ![]() |
Seal7:Not true, I disagree. Flogging only makes em more stubborn(from experience) . When you flog a child, you only harden their heart and they tend to repeat the same thing since it's end result will be spanking anyway. |
Seal7:Flogging a child isn't a guarantee that the child will not go back to doing the same thing he was flogged for. |
wtfCode:Yeah, things have changed, I agree. |
Toddlers are more than a handful right! Sigh! They weren’t given the title “Terrible Two’s” for no reason. At this age, they are working on the normal human ability to make decisions for themselves and need guidance to learn the best way. It is not always going to be easy, because you want them to learn the Rights and Wrongs, without breaking their spirit of independence. Giving them choices when needed, but letting them know that in some things there is no choice. You can let some things slide and not make a big deal of it, but when it has to do with others then you may need to step in. Choose your battles wisely. Is it something that is really bad, or is it that they are just not listening to you. Are they tired, hungry or just want their way? Really a child’s stubbornness is often caused by parents who don’t listen to their own children. The “I don’t care what you want, you will do what I say” type of parenting doesn’t help anyone or anything at all. Here are ways you can put them right- 1. Don’t Reward Bad Behaviour- Don’t give biscuit or sweet simply because you want to stop a child from throwing tantrums. But one thing to do is to reward positive behaviour. When your child is kind, let them know that they were kind (be specific). Be careful of your reward abilities. A child throws a tantrum because they want that toy or biscuits should not be quieted by giving them what they want. If a tantrum begins for their not getting their way, the best thing is to take a breath and ignore it. 2. Pick Your Battles- Give them options, don’t be too rigid that your way must be the only way even if there are alternatives. As a parent, we know you must be firm but be kind. For example, in a case whereby you may have asked a child to pick a red or blue shirt, but they come up with a striped shirt. Is the striped shirt okay? Will it work? Yes, they came up with the third option but you realise if they picked an appropriate shirt, they were ultimately already following your teaching. And your child may be that person that wants to try another way which is their way. As long as the choice is safe, appropriate and within the limit set, we would discuss option C. We should not be adamant as parents about our options. 3. Time Outs- A time out for really bad things like hurting others or just being totally defiant to what you have asked them to do, or not to do, will be appropriate for. It takes time and you must make your words mean what you say. The best is 1 (one) minute in time out per age,(One year for 1 min, two years for two mins). Put them in a place where you can see them (A naughty corner). Just explain what they did and why it is wrong, in a firm, not yelling voice. Do not give in, but do not talk to them while they are in the time out. If they get up before the time is done, put them back and tell them they can’t get out because they need to understand that the behaviour is unacceptable. If they get up again, put them back with no words. Don’t confuse them by giving in and letting them return to something else without completing their time out and them telling you they are sorry. Eventually, they will understand what is expected and the outcome for bad behaviour, so they will know the Rights and Wrongs. 4. Love Them- Remind them of what they did, the reason why they had to be by the naughty corner and remind the baby that you love them and you want them to be nice to everybody (hugs and kisses and a tickle to cheer them back up). But if they should do that again, then they might have to go back there. Source: mamalette.com https://images.parents.mdpcdn.com/sites/parents.com/files/styles/width_300/public/sarahnoda_0.jpg |

Tosyne2much, assuming what you posted is for real then there's really nothing for you to be embarrassed about. For your babe's sister(s) to have asked you for airtime means there's a close relationship between you guys (familiarity). Nothing would have stopped you from telling her there and then that you do not have cash with you. Anyway, different strokes for different folks... |
