Sean has been getting rather naughty recently. For example, the sticker book we bought for him during CNY didn't last a week! He tore a page on the way home from buying the book. By day 6, all the pages have been torn out. I've layered the cover with plastic and let him use that as his sticker book.But he's just so boisterous....and rough with his things. His favourite story book (to flip, not to be read unfortunately) has been torn in so many places that the pages are covered with tapes. Sigh...... (shake head)
He's also been very difficult with his meals. It's nothing new, he's always been a difficult eater. Even when he was a young baby, he never ate a lot at one go, preferring to drink a little at a time, but very often. But last time he was okay with drinking milk(EBM and even a bit of formula) in a bottle. Recently, he has only wanted breast milk, his "nen-nen". He runs away whenever we try to give him any other milk. It's been hard to even get him to drink water. We've hard to resort to giving him diluted juice, but even then, it doesn't always work.
On solid food. I can't remember the last time he actually finish a meal. He likes to eat outside food and will eat with us whenever we go for meals. But it can't be good for a young toddler to eat so much outside food.
I've read that toddlers don't need to eat 3 full meals a day and many prefer to graze throughout the day. So I'm hoping that Sean is getting enough nutritions with his haphazard meals. I've also been giving him yogurt for snacks. I have to remember to stock up on healthy snacks for him. Otherwise he will be asking for nga-ku crisps all the time!!

Bryan has started to be rough as well and well, my MIL has started disciplining him. And golly, it works! I think it's important to set some ground rules eg no walking/tearing on books, no throwing of toys. Books also say that toddlers thrive with boundaries. Good luck!
Thanks. How does your MIL discipline Bryan?
Over here, Sam and his folks are very easy going. I seem to be the only one trying to discipline him.
hey mine also like that lah...he loves outside food, but whenever i cook gosh..he ate so little :(. sounds like i'm a real bad cook sighh..
mine don't tear book, but he chews!! *shake head*
he he he.. bcos I'm not a good cook at all. That's probably the real reason. =P
Today he ate Unagi rice outside no problem.
But I've just read that a toddler's meal is actually very little. So maybe it's too much to expect him to finish his meal every time, especially if he doesn't like it.
Actually Sean chews books too... He doesn't intentionally tears them. He's just rough.. so he tears the pages or bends them if they're cardboard books.
