Well, recently I noticed my 2.5 year old daughter has been acting up. Screaming at the top of her lungs, refusing to follow authority. And it is and will always be a major challenge to be over and above and beyond her tantrum to control her.
Sometimes, I just give up and make MY screams louder. And the temptation to inflict corporal punishment is there, but I try my best not to give in. Other times, I just talk to her and say, "I know you are angry, but you can't scream that way. I will talk to you when you are ready(calmed down)."
It's a really tough role, motherhood. Because you are responsible for the life of your child. Every episode of neglect will be reflected someday, and I am so afraid of that. We look at people and even in studies, they show that a major factor in one's behavior is how that person was raised. Family values. And so I have taken this responsibility, I hope I get to fulfill it.
Well, just venting out my frustrations...
