(Parents lament...)
She is turning 3YO in abt 2.5 mths, we had thought she shld be over the "Terrible Twos" stage already! But it seems she is going thru a "Terrifying Threes"!
Getting to be very defiant and refuse to listen to anything we tell her. Is she trying to re-test our limits? It is getting so out of hand. There are several occasions when Mummy lost her cool and screamed at her. Even delivered hard smacks on her face or thigh. Afterwards, Mummy will feel so so so bad and guilty! Esp the one time (today!) her smack left a red mark on her thigh.
What's Daddy's stand on this? : Daddy wants to get a Cane. Stil waiting for Mummy to approve.
One end we thinking she is just a 3YO we may be expecting too much from her. Or perhaps she is reacting this way becos of Jarel . If this is so, we have to tread cautiously. The other end we are so worried she will grow up to be a rude and selfish stubborn spoilt brat who only wants her own way all the time. Need to instil discipline in her now but how to do so without raising our voices and smacking??
How? How? How? sigh....
