| Sarvin has become so naughty these days that I should keep a close eye on him. Hitting, scratching and biting has become a common behaviors of him. But I can see that these are the fierce desire of him to become independent. I asked with my mother in law and my mother, both said that all toddlers go through this phase. It’s the job of parents to teach how to behave. So when he starts to hit,bit or push , I just remove him from the situation and gently but firmly I remind him that hitting is not okay. Remember, don’t hit your baby because this tactic unfortunately has opposite effect . Your baby will think that hitting is okay. He loves to try his uncle and dad shoes to show that he wants to be like them. He also pretends while playing. Most surprising act of his is that whenever he finds Sarin, his little brother crying, he tries to soothe by making small baby sound. Though he is just 20 months, but he shows that he can care his brother. Sometime he is so affectionate that he continues kissing me . He sits on my lap and cuddle . He sometimes want to help me with household chores though at last it ends up with mess. But he likes to do grown up things even without other help. Like he recognizes the key of house and our post box exactly and tries to open by himself. Sarvin has become clever these days. |
