Papa and Mama felt that they have not been “disciplined” enough to spend quality time such as reading, playing games with me. Hmm…Papa and Mama promised me that they will be more conscientious and set a good example for me to look up to.
I overheard Papa telling Mama that he felt bad “beating me up” yesterday for throwing tantrums. It was painful! Papa, do you know that? Sob sob… Papa explained to me the consequences of my actions after I have “cool down”. Hmm… Papa hope that I could understand though I am still a toddler!
Papa observed that I like to try tantrums and cry often to “get my way”. In addition, I will resist sleeping at my regular timing @ 10pm at times.
Mama has been trying to “psycho” me with “Five Minutes Method of Suggestion” (advice from Aunty Emily who has learnt it from a parenting workshop) since beginning of this week.
"During the first 5 minutes after a child has fallen asleep, the conscious mind goes to sleep, but the subconscious mind is still awake and functioning. We need to make use of these 5 minutes to work on the subconscious mind. During these 5 minutes, we can express our wishes by softly whispering into our children's ears, when they have just fallen asleep."
Papa had used it successfully a few months back to help me wean off my pacifier. Hopes it works again!
Hang on, weekend is around the corner!
Taking a lazy break on the cushy sofa after “ransacking” my favourite toy store; Toy ‘R” Us. :P

Hihi Aunty Edward's mummy,
So I am not alone when it comes to "oi oi" time. I told Papa toddlers are like that. :P
Maybe you can try the same method that my Papa is adopting.
Have a nice weekend.
Cheers
