Halfway through the holidays.

Wow! Have I been away that long? Can see the thickness of the dust here.

*blows dust into the air*

Today, I think I had got all the barang-barang ready for "Balik Sekolah 2010" for the 2 boys. Earlier, I took them to choose their own stationeries. And by getting mainly didi's uniforms and shoes, he's all set to go!

To be frank, I'm rather worried of him with his pelik behavior in a brand new environment. This son of mine is making me pulling my hair out, making me almost at wits' end on how to deal with him. I think he's gonna be making frequent trips to the discipline teacher, though I pray so hard that he will not.

I am just trying so many different approaches in parenting him.

1. Strict punishment - I just try not to use this on him as much as possible, as I can see it hurts him so. Too much of negative punishment, would drive him to the corner anot?

2. Then again, when I don't use strict punishments, am I spoiling him? Am I being just too soft on him? That's what others or observers are telling me.

3. Talking to him. Yes, I do that, but how many times can I keep my cool when I have to handle and manage all the things that often come together?

Nevertheless, I'll continue to strive. A few days ago, I went to the library and found a book on hyperactive kids. Reading the book, I believe that he doesn't belong to this category. So what is?

And I google and found this site to answer a set of questions to roughly estimate what kind of a child he is. It says here that he is an Introverted Intuitive Judging person. By reading that article, I think it kinda depicts quite accurately of him. It's like finding a light at the end of a tunnel, or probably some kind of help for me to refer to.

Pray that I am doing the right parenting way with him, so he would be a great person with good morals and virtues.
