excerpt from BabyCentre's My Baby This Week


Toddlers live large, play hard, and love big (setuju sangat2.. memang terserlah kebenarannya.. ziyad teramat la suka main. pagi petang siang malam..nak main je...bis tu nak buat pe lagi ye dak!!)

When they get upset, they can start acting irrationally, just like adults do (setuju jugak, sejak 2 menjak ni bukan main pandai lagi tunjuk perangai, bila kena sound je, muncung memanjang, siap syebek2 ala2 tunjuk sedih gitu..)

And they often use emotional outbursts to clear out the bad feelings — which may feel good to them but isn't always easy for you (ye la, esp bila dia dpt main benda yg mmg mama/ayah xbagi dia main cam bedak ke, hp, hanger etc..confirm bila kitorg amik je dari tangan dia, dan2 tu jugak dia menangis meraung, siap lari masuk bilik xpun lari kat sofa, sembam2 muka kat situ. Baru2 ni pulak lagi advance siap menangis smpi melutut2, hentak2 kaki...courious gak dari mana tah dia belajar tunjuk perasaan camtu) .



Before losing your cool, remember that your child's lack of self-control is normal and that he'll eventually learn what's socially acceptable by the way you and others react to his antics. (walopun dlm hati rasa cam &*^#*?@ jugak la... tp sabar2..nasib baik budak kecik...) Try to respond calmly and enforce the limits you've set so things don't escalate. (kalo dulu mama/ayah akan try bg dia calm, cam peluk dia, bg mainan ke.. tp since dia dah byk sgt akal skg ni, kitorg pakai tektik lain pulak, kitorg tau dia mmg antu iklan tv, so bukak je la tv, cari channel yg ada iklan, esp his fave iklan. kalo dpt time Indahnya Iman kat Astro lagi heaven.. trus diam punya...)





bila dpt tgk his fave show, dah xheran kiri kanan...
