Today my 2 1/2 year old said something that caught my attention. He looked at me and said I'll kill you. I slapped him in his but, and said don't ever say that again. He laughed and said it again. I had no clue on how to handle this situation. I just couldn't believe he said that. I remember over the weekend we were at a friends house and I remember one of their sons said to my 2 yr old in playful manner, " come here or I'll kill you" He is maybe 7 or 8. Even he didn't realize the seriousness of what he was saying. I wonder if my son picked it up from him? Whatever the case, it was a wakeup call for me. We have to be careful what is said in front of our kids.


Life what be much easier if my kids were made of playdoh and I can just mold them to the way I want them to be and if they lose their shape I can always fix it.

Refer to my blog, I kinda answered you there! Co-incidence? Maybe.

if your child says or does anyhting that you do not like, ignore it. drawing attention to it will cause them to hold on to it even more. give them positive attention when they do good and ignore bad behaviour. it really works!
