Our baby is a sensitive baby and cries often and my queen will tend to her almost immediately like how all mothers would be. But if our princess jazelle cries to get her needs or wants, we will usually tell her 'NO!' Don't Do this, Don't Do that!""Stop Crying!". Now, if you are jazelle, what would you do? that's right, whin the whole day and cry whenever you have the chance.so that mommy or daddy will come to you. so much so it got into our nerves!! She will do everything to get your attention! such as climbing the table!

My queen saw this recommended book in ST last sunday and immediately she requested to be fetched to the library. Make a guess, what's the title of the book that caught her attention? HOW TO CON YOUR KID!by David Borgenicht and James Grace ( i am not joking!)

Here are some tips which we thought we would like to share with you!

1. How to get your kid to brush their teeth?

" Dont call it toothpaste. Call it Magic wishing paste! They will get to make a wish when done brushing!"

2.How to get your kid to talk quietly?

" Whisper to them, they will usually whisper back"

and when they yells, don't tell them to Stop Yelling but say " you dont need to yell, i can hear you when you use your normal voice!" or say " I know you are really loud- but how quiet can you talk?

3.How to get you kid stop crying? throw a tantrum?

Most of the time, kids cry because of frustations or injury. Like our princess, she may cry because she can't express herself well.

" Teach them baby sign language to communicate their needs!"

"Never tell them to STOP crying but encourage them to tell you why they are upset or what they really wants?

"master the art of misdirection! - When they cry, distract them with new toys, items etc.. such as LOOK at that tree!"

4. How to get your kid to share??

"read stories about sharing to your kids"

"Hype it up with your kid does share. Praise them!"

Kids dont understand sharing but they will understand " taking turns"

After reading the book, we realise the most basic understanding that we adults must have is that we should not communication to our kids like if we are talking to another adult.( We do that mistake all the time!) So don't use words that we usually use, speak their language. And they are still learning to express themselves and thus patience is required when we are dealing with them.

That's all folks! Have fuN!
