Had my full medical checkup some three weeks ago now. The bloodwork came back all good news. The Dr, whom had presumably a few minutes ago rummaged through the pages before calling me in, was flicking through the four-page report, pencil-pointing to me the different categories and the corresponding figures and how each were within [...]

Learning to share

iPhones can have games. Daddee has 2 kids. The 2 kids are of the ages now where they start to share almost similar levels of gameplay. They also don’t quite yet know how to share between themselves. And Daddee has an iPhone. You know the rest of the story. So tonight Caitlin had a “brilliant” [...]

So I was in The Gardens for dinner the other night, with Caleb, Caitlin, and our helper. We were in the food court; there was/is a small corner near its entrance that has a play mat – you know those jigsaw foam thingies that assemble into a mat. Caitlin was already eyeing that when we [...]

Dr Pixie warned before that children reaching 2 will start to push the envelope with you. Caleb turned 2 this January. But this post isn’t about him. Last night I smacked Caitlin- the grab-her-arm-so-she-can’t-run-away smack; the night before Hot Mummee smacked her too. I have had long car-ride talks with her about being the big [...]

Discipline on time management
September 29th, 2009 · 1 Comment · A father's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Ergonomics, Parenting musing, Parenting rules, life skills
I was just reading this article about disciplining children, and reminded me of what had happened only this morning.

Of late, I have found that Caitlin would still wake at around the same time in the [...]

So how many of us realise; and how often do we remind ourselves, that whatever we do, say, behave, respond to situations, treat our own loved ones and other fellow human beings, we are being watched by the little kids around us? Sometimes when I make a passing remark, opinion, upcoming event or plans, Caitlin [...]

Do you listen to the teachers or the parents?
August 22nd, 2009 · 3 Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Education, Parenting rules
School kids nationwide are on holidays from this weekend on. Caitlin has some holiday homework to do for the week off school, from (as far as I can see- gotta check her bag/books) 3 subjects of English, Malay and Chinese. Each of them have a date on the homework pages for respective dates of the [...]
