We must not run to help our little ones or even older ones at the faintest sign of trouble. The questions I would post to myself in a similar situation would be, \"What life lessons would my child learn if he were to handle it on his own?\", \"If I am no longer around, would he able to handle his troubles on his own?\", \"Will he think that it is alright to do what he likes because Mommy dearest will certainly come to my rescue when I scream?\". Do we want a brat for a child? Do we want an insecure child who could not stand on his own two feet? We are not only talking about our toddlers here but also our school going kids. We as parents should be as impartial as possible (it is indeed a battle within ourselves) when handling a complaint from our child. Again, will our child derive any learning from this \"life experience\" which he is currently encountering? - Teo Sat, 19 May 2007 23:06:00 +0100
