Little Shi Xu has changed .Recently he always throw his tantrum by throwing away his toys or whatever on his hand ! He hit me , hit daddy , hit whoever is carrying him when we say "no!" to him . When he throw his tantrum, he will purposely do something to displeasure us (sucking his finger which we always dont allow him to do so )
I am not that kind of patient person ,i admit .Everytime when he throw his tantrum, he drives me up the wall over and over again. I lost my calmness and feel clueless and i had shouted at him for few time (*sob sob * ) . Nevertheles , everytime i tried to calm down myself and tell him in calm that he can not hit mummy and daddy or anyone as we will feel pain and it is not right to do so.
I think BEST way is distraction . I have an experience in recently night .
When we were on our home way , Shi Xu become grouchy and cranky in the car as he did not have his pacifier to suck on ( he used to suck on his pacifier when he aboard car ) .It is a MUST-HAVE when we go out .However due to childcare teacher careless , his pacifer left in childcare .
After a long time he making noise , finally i come out with a good idea to DISTRACT him .
Shi Xu very like to enjoy the breeze blow on his face , so i ask daddy wind down the window whenever he ask for pacifier .So it come with this case , when he said "Dudu! " , the window "automacally"wind down ( of course it was controlled by daddy on driver seat :P ) . So whenever he said "Dudu! " , the window will wind down and the breeze blow on his face . He feel so magic and stop making noise ! Guess wat ? He keep saying "Dudu! " so that the window wind down and wind up again and again . And daddy try to wind down different side of window , so he keep playing to say "dudu! " and see which window is opened . Funny right ? but it works ! He stopped throwing tantrum . Hurray ! and we drove home "peacefully " .
