1st Stroke of Cane
Recently, ah boy has been challenging me for my patient. Monday, I brought him to library to borrow new books. After I have selected 4 books for him, he insist on getting the 5th book too! OK, so I borrow using my a/c for the 5th book. But when we are near the exit of the library, ah boy happily dash out of the library w/o me, the pram n the un-borrowed books! I have not even process the borrowing of books, and he went off by himself, and went to the Japanese shop alone, which is located next to the library. After noticing that I wasn’t ard him, he came back into the library to look for me. I was very angry wif him, for running off without me. As I’m still in the library compound, I cant shout at him as it’s a quiet place. Every1 will stare at me! Neither can I chase after him as he ran off very fast! I scolded him softly (as still in library) and quickly borrow the books and stepped out of the library.
I was fast in cooling down, so let him ride on some kiddy rides. After which, I went to bank to deposit some money. After leaving the bank, he ran off by himself. He refused to sit in the pram, n I cant tie him down. He almost ran up the escalator by himself! Next we pass by a Sakae sushi restaurant, on our way to a lift. He happily enter the restaurant to see the live seafood. I tried stop him, but he ignored me. I walked off.. and he cried while chasing after me. I carried him n forced him into the pram, where he cried all the way from Sun Plaza back to home. At home, immediately after I scolded him, he still dared ask if he can listen to music vcd! Damn! I’m already very angry at his misbehavior.. and he treat it as nothing!
Day 2 : Tuesday.
After Monday fear of losing him in a crowded place, I chose to go straight home. As we were abt to cross the traffic light, ah boy crawled out of the pram again! He trying to prove he know how to cross the road as a busy junction??? I grab his hand tight as v crossed the road… as he wanted to let go my hand n run! How dangerous is the road.. n he tog it’s a playground?? So fine, after v crossed the road, there is this mama shop. I try c if it sells cane. Yes, and ah boy happily choose the cane handle colour – Blue! The shop auntie laughed at his cuteness. As he not aware of the purpose of a cane, he chose the colour and happily played with it on the way home. Even our neighbour little girl also saw him holding onto a cane.
Upon reaching home, I close the door, juz in case next door can hear his cry. I took out the cane and whack softly on his buttock. It hurts him, and he cried out loud. While he crying, I try to reason with him, although he don seem to understand what I’m saying. After crying for a while, he took the cane away from my hand, and put it aside, shaking his head as he don like me to play with the cane! Does I sound or look like I playing with the cane???? I really don noe if I should be angry or laugh at him!
Oh ya.. day 1 when I scolded him at home, he aso can replied funnily to me.
I scolded him (in Chinese, but I lazy to type in Chinese):
If you are lost, or kidnapped by bad people, you wont have me as your mummy, no daddy, no baby. No toys to play, no music vcd to watch, no school to attend, no sing songs wif mummy. U will be beaten daily, you sleep in a box, u got no food to eat.
His immediate reply: I don wan to sleep now!
(Alamak! I’m not asking him to slp now, I’m describing the scenario to him.. and he only catch the word “sleep”!)
How to educate him, discipline him??? Help~!!!
