The terrible Twos,throwing tantrum,screaming,incessant crying,craving for attention,a stage which I thought will happen when clover start to reach the age of 2 and beyond,but the truth is not to be...Facing rejections is not something to be tolerated,at least in her view,she do not see the rationale in throwing away her books,toys,wanting to watch dvd after 10pm,or why I refuse to bring her out for a walk in rainy weather,or why she is not allow to scribble her ABCs on the sofa,yet is approved on paper...Facing a firm mummy who told her no,she start to get upset,very upset indeed,banging her head on the floor,screeching at the top of her voice,refusing to be carried or pacify,with streams of tears flowing furiously down her chubby cheeks,it is painful to watch,I need a solution and fast....
Times out,reasoning with her were recommended which does not seem to work,for facing an impatient toddler at 16 months with limited vocabulary,it does not make sense,besides,I feel that clover will be so preoccupied with crying to notice little else,whats more,facing a toddler throwing tantrums is enough to make my own temper fraying too,little wonder then that some parents resort to smacking or hitting the kids....
Fortunately,I discovered that the small impersonator is good at imitating,hence I provide her with a soft little cushion,as a punching bag,a good outlet for her frustrations,haha...Initially,she laughed,perhaps she think that I am acting silly,punching the cushion and screeching with all my might,but little clover soon caught up with it,and when she is about to throw her temper,its the cushion to be punch and kick,phew,sound silly but at least clover no longer bang her head on the floor....Though I wonder how long this trick will last?haha...
Hi,ok,yes,you can replace plain flour with self-raising flour,and omit the baking powder,baking soda.Do let me know how it turns out.enjoy.
