Moments in My Life

My son is swimming after 9 days!!   At least now that if he falls into the water, he will be able to swim to the side and climb out from the pool. I’ve tried different group, semi-private and private swim lessons for him and none of them worked. For the past two weeks, we’ve attended Mr. Pete’s [...]

Thank you for all your well wishes. A quick update - his condition got better over the weekend and his appetite was back, like a usual self.  But I noticed since then, he doesn’t drink as much water as he does before.  Anyway … I am glad that he got better and was able to return to [...]

Brandon is currently at home and not goint to school.  He will stay home until his HFMD is better.  The body will fight off this virus by itself and there is no treatment for this.  It will take abou 5-10 days according to his Pediatrician nurse.  It all started when I noticed red dots on his [...]

Tomorrow is the day again!!  My Hubby’s off Friday and also my son’s school day.  My son only goes to school from 12:20pm to 3:20pm.  I wonder what Hubby has planned for us tomorrow for that 3 hours.  hmmm … I just remember receiving an email from him while he was at work today.  He [...]

I came back here and realized that I didn’t update this blog for a week already.  Time creeps up so fast.  And week by week it just goes by.  Lately, I don’t seem to be able to find enough time on daily basis to finish the things I need to do.  I have a lot [...]

Wanting to be a better parent is not an overnight change.  It takes a long time and you have to stick to what you are doing religiously.  Now we are in Part 3.  There were two topics we discussed in the class this evening – transition and the ‘when-then’ statement. During the class, the facilitator [...]

Let me share what I picked up from the class today. Special time with your child One of our homework from last week was to spend approximately 10-20 minutes a day with our child/ren doing what they love to do. To do this, we have to use the ‘Think, Plan and Do’ approach. We set [...]

I dislike screaming and smacking my child.  Honestly, who does??  I want a happy child and always listen, follow rules, taking turns, being nice to others, etc. etc. etc.  You know what I mean.  My style of parenting properly mirroring how I was brought up.  But I want to change that.  I don’t want to [...]
