Usually, sher displays her whining and tantrum towards me and her grandparents. But not to her Daddy as she knows he mean business when it comes to discipline. I need to remind myself not to give in as often as I should and always to balance the 'yes' and 'no', not forgetting the nurturing of creativity. It just ain't easy. She likes to push her boundary and I have to be consistent but there's other influence like her grandparents that spoilt her rotten which will deviate my parenting plan. I will use the naughty chair method adopted by Supper Nanny Show to discipline her and when all else fails, the spanking will take place. So far, it's very seldom that I will resort to such method as I want her to learn her lesson in an effective manner. Daddy is more of a spanker but I can see the early discipline is well in place and she is certainly much well behaved with Daddy around.Labels: Parenting

My mummy's only brother who is my uncle tied the knot after 9 years of courtship... that's a really long time. I had an important role to play on the day as I've been tasked to be the flowergirl at the church solemnisation. I was excited about the role and prepared for it, practising at home the steps. At first, mummy said I looked like Liang Po Po as I took slow,snail pace. LOLOn the wedding day on Sunday, I was dressed in white (loaned fr Wenzel as mummy didn't want to spend on another dress) and refused to change to another outfit at grandma's house. Mummy was afraid I might messed up the dress by afternoon as church solemnisation was at 3pm. I threw tantrum and refused to talk to Mummy cos I wanted to look pretty. After a pep talk from Daddy, I managed to resume to my normal self. We waited at Grandma's house till 2pm before setting off to the church. At the church, I was cool and not nervous about the walk down the aisle... the procession went on smoothly. And Mummy said afterwards that she's so proud of me. I couldn't stop smiling. Uncle and Auntie took their vows and I could see their love for each other before God. I could sensed Grandma's joy and pride. Auntie wept tears of joy as they prayed together before taking communion. Afterwhich, we adjorned to the tea reception, had yummy egg sandwiches which is my favourite.
Then, we rushed back to Grandma's house to shower and change as we needed to travel to Sentosa for the dinner at Amara Sanctuary. Time was tight but we managed to get dressed and arrived at the hotel ard 7pm. The guests started to arrive and Mummy started to take snapshots of me posing and priming. I just love camera, while my muti-tasking mummy mingled with the relatives too. The night was long and by the time, we reached home, it was past midnight. Ohh... I'm too tired and the next day happens to be my birthday, I'm officially 4 years old!

My company organised a charity initiative to bring the children from S'pore Aid Society to the Singapore Flyer last Saturday. Each of us were assigned to a child to take care throughout the 'flight'. I brought Sher along and let her experience this meaningful event. I must admit that she was well behaved throughout the day. She might felt overwhelmed by the large nos of children older than her as she was not her usual self, was pretty quiet and reserved. We mingled with the children and was glad that in some way or other, we had put cheer into them even it was only a few hours.

I'm the air stewardess serving you for today..
Coffee or Tea Sir?
Grandpa bought me this kebaya fr Chinatown, it fitted me perfectly as I sashayed away in it. The kebaya is the uniform for an SIA girl, do I qualify for the job? When mummy asked me what I would like to be when I grow up, I always answered "I want to be a doctor!" And the reason I gave it's because I can give injection to the patient. (Although I hated it)

Tips for Reading to Preschoolers (Extracted from nea.org)
- Snuggle with your child with her favorite blanket or toys as you read.
- Read with expression using different voices for different characters.
- Emphasize rhythms and rhymes in stories. Give your toddler opportunities to repeat rhyming phrases.
- Encourage your child to repeat what you say or comment on it. Encourage your child to ask questions. Provide models of interesting questions and examples of possible answers: "I wonder what is going to happen next? I think the rabbit will get lost because he is not paying attention to where he is going. What do you think?"
- Look for books that are about things that interest your toddler. For example, does your child like cars, insects or animals?
- Give your child a chance to choose his own books for reading. If your toddler chooses a book that is too long to hold his attention, read some and skip some, discussing the pictures and how they relate to the story.
Read stories again and again. Your toddler enjoys repetition, and it helps her become familiar with the way stories are organized.
- If your child is curious and is making comments about letters, there is no reason why she should not become familiar with the alphabet before she starts school. Playing with alphabet blocks and singing "The Alphabet Song" are happy ways for your child to become acquainted with letters.
- Make books a joyous and important part of your child's life. Read to him every day. Let him talk about the stories. Ask questions about the pictures. Ask him to point out pictured objects that are alike and different in shape and in color. This activity helps children to observe small differences in the shapes of letters and words when learning to read.
- Avoid baby talk. Speak to your child in grownup language now, so she will recognize words she sees and hears in the classroom. Also, baby words for objects may be laughed at by the other youngsters.
- Provide a variety of experiences. Take your child to the zoo, the park, the airport. Teach your child the names of animals, flowers, etc. In order to understand the words encountered in reading, your child should have first-hand experience with the objects they stand for.
- From time to time, give your child simple, consecutive instructions. For example: "Pick up the ball, then bounce it, then put it on the table." Make a game out of it, if you like. Such activities will help your child develop memory skills and follow directions accurately, both of which are essential in school.
- Set a good example as a reader—read every day at home even if it is a magazine or newspaper.
- Make reading fun, a time that you both look forward to spending together.

He gave her a hug and I must say even I thought it was so sweet and thoughtful of her. She now managed to empatise more and show more thoughtfulness for others close to her. I'm really glad that she's growing not just physically but also within the heart.
