Well I will try to praise my kids as well quite often cause this encourage them to do better however sometimes I need to stop praising them cause it will go into their head as well so need to balance mah..

I suppose its how one puts the message forward to the child and also the circumstances/situation.

At three, DS's confidence/self esteem is still at its infancy. There have been occasions when he did to want to try something. So I have had to persuade him to do and even when it didn't turn out so fantastic and sometimes he senses it, I would still praise him cuz it would be the impetus for him to try out other challenging tasks and slowly build up his confidence.

Actually, I praise him quite a lot :lol: :lol: :lol:

Anyhoo, MIL was very much a dragon lady. One time, they were up to no good again, she asked them, \"Do you know what flying saucer is?\" Being boys, they were super anticipative and nodded furiously. The next second, she threw a flying pan at them.

wa, talk about violence :shock: . In some western countries you can be jailed for that.

You would think so no? But they were and are very naughty boys. Once I'd asked MIL if she'd ever consider cages, she laughed. She used to hide a cane (cut short) in her bag when she took the boys out. When they got out of hand, she would pull it out of her bag slightly to show them what was in store for them when they got home. That would keep them in check for what, ten minutes? :roll:
