New "Game" ~ "Counter" attack...

Just the other day, I came across an article, saying that, we should not frame our children with any negative comments,

For eg. "she's stubborn", or "she's naughty"… etc.

So, I was sharing this piece of news with him,

As I've always shared articles like this with him, about behaviour, about personality, about building characters, my point to him is,

I want him to sometimes remind me if I've not done so and so,

It's really not so much as, "ok, today I tell you, you remember, and you should do it, or, one day, I'll catch you", no, it's ever like this,

And as I've told him, it's actually for him to remind me,

Cos, I foresee myself as somebody who'll fumble, more often than he will…

And that, we kinda started this game…

Which I actually thought, is quite interesting, cos, it encourages and trains us, as parents, as adults, or as just somebody, to view things from different point of view…

One of the eg. I saw is,

As stated above, "stubborn", we can "counter" by saying that, our kid has "persistency"…

Haha~

Just today,

I was kinda "scolding" baby, (one of those friendly rant, about her)

That's she's getting more and more naughty, ie. won't listen to what big mama says…

Before I actually said out the full sentence, ie. the word, "naughty",

I "switched gear", and said, "you're getting more and more of having your own opinion!",

Wa ha!! (O.o)

And when he wanted to complain that, she always has to struggle whenever we try to carry her sitting down.. (ya, she doesn't want to sit still),

He complained, and looked at me, expecting me to counter…

So, I said, "baby, you're very active eh!"…

Ok… it's kinda fun… ^_^
