IJJ:
Some stuff to read...http://www.religioustolerance.org/spankin8.htmI am refraining from posting my comment on discipling kids because I understand and respect different ways of disciplinong the child since parents love their kids and know them best. Just that this verse from Prov 13:24 keeps ringing in my head and I have to get it off.
[quote]24 Whoever spares the rod hates their children,
but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.
For us (my hubby and I), oh yes, we do corporal punishment, for serious mistakes. I once spank my 2nd daughter's bottoms when she deliberately walk at the edge of the pavement despite numberous warnings. That could be life-threatening should she falls off the pavement and hits by a vehicle. I immediately spanked her and held her close to me (with a baby in another arm).
I still have alot to learn..i.e. to keep my blood from reaching the boiling point. Overtime, I learn and strongly believe that administering disciplinary acts is best when we are doing it calm-headed. That way, we can be more rational and the kids will respect us doing it, which means a longer 'effectiveness' period. When I feel my blood heating up, I move away to a separate room and cool myself down looking at photos, listening to praises etc before walking back to the child to chide her off. It is easy to go overboard when one is super mad. I know, it is easier said than done. I am quite an impatient and quick tempered person and I am still working on it. I am hoping one day, I can be a more loving mom. My aim is to provide a cosy home where the kids look forward to come back to after braving the storms in the outside world. Even little kids nowadays have a more complicated world to deal with.
Of course, there are always times I feel guilty and mean...well, I tell myself, no parent is perfect, so am I. Hence, I do think over how otherwise I should do to achieve a better (win-win) situation. Then just move on.
Having these said, there is one kind of parenting that I :roll: These parents will not administer any scolding act at all, let alone corporal disciplinary. That is one extreme which I cannot believe any parent in the right mind will let their kids go down w/o making any effort to bring them right on track.
For Proverbs 19:18 says :
[quote]Discipline your son while there is hope, And do not desire his death.[/quote]
Coincidently, my 2nd child has her memory verse this week as
\"Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.\" Eph 6:1
Memorising this verse with her is reminding me to do my part right.[/quote]
Agree with what u say...I dun spank DS cos of sch work does not means I spare the rod too.. Cane will be use if he does something dangerous or being rude... -

Ahem *cough cough* nowadays the Chinese storybooks I read are written vertically, from right to left, don't pray pray. And I don't mean ่ๅคซๅญ hor. Kekeke.
What's wrong with that? I love that n ๅฐๅฎๅฝ๏ผ

(translated from ่ๆฟไธๅฒ,่ๆฟ่ฑๆ)
Pls forgive me cheekiness; today's Children's Day and I feel like a child.drickymummy:
:imsorry: I did not intend to imply anyone at all! I did not mean that! I am sorry if you thot so. There are families whom I am acquainted with do not do corporal punishments, but that do not mean that they have no disciplinary action in place. Each family just have our unique ways of dealing with all the unique kids we are gifted with.Agree with what u say...I dun spank DS cos of sch work does not means I spare the rod too.. Cane will be use if he does something dangerous or being rude...

And Da-pao the Seeds to Mail to Bro dyh .... To Plant in Spore!
:rotflmao: :rotflmao:dyh:
Haha... So dyh, you want to ask Mr Woon?Thanks for the offer but i dun live in a landed property la.
besides, they may not allow any plant stuff to get past the customs without authorization. I think it is a good idea if PH can plant it in school. it is a plant kids here dun normally get to see.. If he does not want, you can just roast the seeds and eat them like popcorn along with a great movie. dyh:
Aiyo, you know when my dd2 saw these, she was commenting, \"Mummy, why they made these pumpkins look like 'chop-off' heads?\" :rotflmao:I dun think i will buy painted pumpkins like these, otherwise i would feel like i am killing something if i cut them open?

drickymummy:
:thankyou: drickymummy and :congrats: to you and your DS too.:congrats:
I also hope my DS will pull thru SA2 with no boo boo .. -
:thankyou: IJJ. Unfortunately, it also falls on two days out of the four PSLE marking days for this year too. :stompfeet:
As for TTLT, no la, it's not confirmed. It's just my assumption that those who cleared round has a very high chance to qualify for TTLT.
I'm so thick-skinned hor? :rotflmao:
