Baby Hannah was born last month. She is the most adorable and wonderful addition to our small family.
However, our major concern right now is with Sean. From being a wonderful boy, he's going through a very difficult period. He's been showing his temper, answering back, and generally not listening to us. The last straw was yesterday when his teacher in school finally had to complain to us. It seems that all his teachers have been having a problem with his behaviour recently.
It is probably related to the arrival of Hannah. I have been busy with Hannah and because of his bad behaviour, DH has been hard on Sean. So all his resentment and anger must be manifesting into the current behaviour pattern.
Sean has no problems at all with Hannah. He has issues with figures of authority, i.e. us parents and teachers. We have been pushing him too hard and yet been spending too little time with him.
We are going to have to try out a different approach to tackle this problem before it gets out of hand. Currently, Sean is a different boy from the one a few months ago. I hope we can rectify whatever it is that we did wrong.

lovely family blog you got :)
Congratulations on baby Hannah's arrival. Go easy on Sean and talk to him, eye to eye but like a friend. He's so used to the attention and he needs time to get adjusted as well.
Congrats to you. I have missed reading your blog posts for sometime too. How is everything? Coping with 2 kids?
Take care.
