Scolding Without Shouting
There’s a question of concern from a husband and wife about their 3 year old daughter who constantly is trying to get her own way ,no matter what. They try to talk to her at a level that she understands, but she turns and regresses into a baby-like attitude when scolded about her behavior. Is there a way to discipline without reverting to shouting?
I try and blog about my personal experiences too as a parent and at the same time look for other mother and fathers’ experience too regarding the same topic.
As of this writing my 4 year old son is getting scold at a number of times a day. I know it’s normal for a healthy child to be naughty. I feel bad every time I raise my voice to him.

Mother’s Milk A Lifesaver For Preemies?
I read an article from cbsnews just now and there is no doubt that I have to re-post it here to spread the word, the information to other parents about preemies.
Here’s what I read:
Kathie Robinson is thrilled that her daughter Naomi, born 2-1/2 months early, is well enough to be home. But her family isn’t complete – yet.
“Here we are, we’re still going through the journey,” Kathie told CBS News contributing medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
It’s been a difficult journey for Naomi’s twin brother, Caldwell. He’s had three operations and remains in a neo natal intensive care unit. Kathie and her husband Whit believe that giving him breast milk, even through a feeding tube, is helping him recover.

3 Things To Practice of Being a Parent
Being a parent yourself is never so easy. You’re thinking of many things of raising your child or children. You never want to have mistakes on teaching them new things and explaining to them what they still really don’t know on this spinning world.
Yet, being a parent is a wonderful experience, from bearing your child from fetus to growing pains in the a$$. You also learn from them and it’s never been an ending experience. Until you’re a grandparent, and that’s a different story.
Here are 3 things to practice from day one of being a parent:
1. Never fail to give praises. Whenever your child does something right, you should praise him or her to let her know you appreciate what he’s or she’s done. In that way, he or she will be fond of doing right things and in the same way making them happy doing those. Surely, they will always wait for your compliments after. And with that also, your child will never want to commit mistakes as much as they could.
2. Know his/her potential. In your everyday interaction of child-parent relationship. You can distinguish what field your child excels. Knowing that, you should enhance whatever it is for them to have mastery of what they love. For example, you can see that he/she loves to sing, find time even every hour a day where you can let him/her hear different kinds of music and sing with it.
3. Let them be. Meaning, let them be what they want to be. As related on the above discussions, do not force your child to do what you want from them but let them do what they really want. Knowing their potentials, you must not hinder them from what they love to do and you must not also give them frustrations as a parent. In fact, you should be the one who’ll encourage them and who’ll let them explore in growing up. Otherwise, who else would? You know what’s best for them and you also don’t want them to get wrong ideas from their peers. Though we really can’t help it but we parent were also there to guide them consistently.
