Positive Disciplining
Call me crazy.. but positive disciplining seems to be the hardest for all parents.. including me. I normally do not raise my voice at the brat.. the whole day.. and i can keep my cool.. right up till at midnite.. when she doesn’t wanna sleep. Yes.. and she tells you so… that’s the when I start raising my voice.. and she starts crying.. and says this to me .. every nite.. “yer not upposed to shout at meeee.. baaaawwwwahhhh!” and after all the crying.. and cleaning the tears and kissing good nites.. she would tell you to say.. “say sweet dreams” .. “say .. don’t let the bugs bite” .. and “say .. good nite.. sweetheart”. If we donch raised our voice.. by midnite.. it would be almost 2am.. before she would be too tired.. and sleep.. and that does not mean that at 2am.. we didn’t raised our voice either. So what does .. tired parents like us do..?? raise our voices early..!! *sigh*.. positive disciplining is HARD..!
Hmm…Chloe is still a late sleeper. Does she wakes up early too everyday?

It’s very hard for me to practise positive parenting with my 2 gals too… coz they just won’t listen and will turn deaf when I speak to them in a nice tone. Sad eh?
Why is Chloe such a late sleeper eh? Does she nap a lot during the day?

Don’t let her nap too much in the day. It’s tough for parents when kids don’t want to sleep at night. They’re young and active and can keep at it all night. I’m too old for this now.
