Every parents had their own teaching. Relatives and friends can give feedback, share their thoughts with us. We should take it constructively and think about it. If more than one person says the same thing, then we should really start reflecting. More often than not, we ourselves DO NOT know what are we doing, and how does it affect the children.
No matter how good a child can be, he/she sure to have a moment of bad behaviour. Or i should say no child is born to be obedience. But again, if we still continue to think our child is still young, still naive, give in to him/her just to make sure he don't make a fuss. Then sorry, we are so wrong.
Different people had different perspectives on how Princeton boy is. Some simply thinks he is very bad some really thinks he is an angel. Many tell me that he is considered quite well behaved. Still there are people who feedback to me that i had been pampering him too much. How contradicting ya?
I can only say, how many children at the age of 3 can stand and face the wall for 15mins? My boy can. The dad said 5mins initially. But ended up 15mins, and he was really very tired already.
Children at this age still need ample of rest, that is nap. Even primary one children still crying for nap. Princeton boy is not asking much, he just need one good hour or even 45mins. I don't believe the longer they nap, the better it is. Yes, for an infant. Not for a toddler. Sleeping for long hours only makes them lazy. (except when they fall sick) An efficient nap is not any longer than 2hours (for a toddler). This is not said by me, is from a parenting talk at Tian's school.
Please don't quote me on the above. I am definitely not trying to say my boy is the best or i have got the best parenting methods. I am just sharing my thoughts, and i do believed our children behaviour proves how well our parenting efforts. Princeton of course needs to buck up more, so do i.
I doubt we are going for a third child. Even though we want, we will make sure we can afford, the care taking of the child are well planned and lastly, both of us can be as committed (like before) in taking care.
