Ashley has been throwing a lot of tantrums lately. If things don’t go her way, she’ll scream and start crying. Sometimes she would even roll on the floor like a Bollywood actress! I have tried to talk to her nicely and ask her to tell me what she wants but she just kept screaming. I even tried scolding and smacking but to no avail. Sometimes I am at a loss on how to deal with it. If it is a phase, I hope it will go away soon. You think this would help? Bought it from the market a couple of days back. One of these days……
hehe…bollywood actress..LOL..ok, I am not supposed to laugh..*straight face*..I think its a phase..people have complained to me about their toddlers last time when they were Ashley’s age…but now, my frens’s kids are 4 and 5 so they have ‘calmed’ down so to speak..
bollywood actress? Hhahahah thats a good one.
Well i bought one for Jayden and it didn’t work. And i think his dad hid it edi …
For my gals, if all else fails, the cane works wonders, sad eh?
Yeap, I have a cane like that too. Often when my children are whining or crying, I will let them do it for a while before I talk to them. Let them release their anger first. When they pause, I will go ask them what they want. It works for me.
I have not gone into that extreme but I think I will soon… my patience also running low already. Prob is.. quite difficult to find cane here 😛
haha….i thought my girl is the oni actress LOL. I think my cane no more working, i resort to leave her cry till she’s satisfied sometimes 🙂
Same here with Dillon. I’ve recorded the clip when he was throwing tantrum, you can have a look in my Multiply gallery & see if he can be a bollywood actor along with Ashley?
I wanted to show him the clip when he is older, haha LOL
Hi … To me, it works. Just would like to share… when Grace was throwing her first tantrum when she was 11mo, I gave her one hard stroke on her bum. Eversince then, she never throw anymore tantrum.
Tho she is still young then, but I also spent time talking to her after giving her the rod like why mmommy caned her, why she can’t throw tantrum, etc… I gave her hugs and kisses to reassure her that I love her.
I believed children understand and we also have to let them know who has the authority over them.
SOrry, I didn’t mean to sound like expert for I am not nor offend. Just sharing my view..
shireen – i wonder if this phase is going to last until she turns 3? *pengsan*
sasha – yeah..daddies are more lenient i guess ;D
health freak mommy – i have yet to show her the power of the cane ;D
mybabybay – i also tried talking but to no avail. Maybe i didn’t try hard enough?
yvonne – want me to send you a cane? hahahaha
jazzmint – i really wonder how they can be such good actors eh? i’m also letting her cry all she wants but when we are outside, it’s hard 🙂
karenyiau – heheh..maybe they can act together next time 😀 I didn’t record a clip of ashley rolling on the floor cos i was really furious 🙁
Jean – thanks for sharing 😀 I’ll do that with Ashley the next time and see if it works 😉
hahaha..bollywood actress?
I had this long long time ago lo..but it doesnt work on my boys!!! 🙁 Dim hou?
My mum offers to give me a cane. I dont know whether I will use it or not. See how it goes. Even just now, she was throwing tantrum when I said no to her. Jumping and screaming.
Your’s bollywood…
Mine, young punk rock star.. thrashing things around.
I’m packing in the cane for Oz… I know it’ll be hard to get one there. Perhaps I should buy more than one…might have some folks who might want it…ha ha ha!
annie – sigh..kids nowadays are too smart.
malaika’s mummy – ahh..i guess girls just love to scream eh? just wish you can turn them off like a radio eh?
mott – hehhe..yeah..buy more so you can make some money and sell them ;D
