He is only 1 year old and he has temper?!
Ammachi gave the boys Vitagen. Champion had no problem.. like a good boy, he drank slowly using the straw.
I knew lil’ President would play with the straw and would spill the Vitagen, so we poked a hole so that he can sip through it. But when he saw anna having a straw, he tried to grab the straw from him. Luckily Champion was clever to dodge lil’ President and kept on drinking continuously.
He started wailing, but when he realized he still had the Vitagen bottle in hand, he tried to drink from it. While trying to drink from the bottle, he kept waving it front and back, spilling more. Then Ammachi said, “May be he can drink from the sip cup?”
I warned her, “He is going to be mad when you take the bottle from him. He will think that we are taking it away for good!”
Ammachi wanted to try, “You don’t assume. I shall put and see.”
The moment she took the bottle from him, he started wailing… and dropped himself seated on the floor.
Even after receiving the sip cup filled with Vitagen, he was still crying. He just pushed the cup away. His face was all red already. Giving up, ammachi gave him the Vitagen bottle back. Nope, he pushed it away too. He was mad! *surprised*
Taatha took him to the living room, trying to give him the Vitagen in the sip cup. He was hoping he will forget about it. He didn’t.
I took lil’ President back, and this time without the sip cup. No way you’re getting the drink if you’re going to show this kind of temper, my dear boy!
I carried him into the living room. Apps was seated there. I had to tell him not to interfere. Otherwise, he will say, why make him cry and sayang him. Nope, not this time. This is too much already!
I continued embracing him and told him to stop crying. Even though I knew he wouldn’t understand, I tried explaining to him what it won’t work by crying. After few minutes he stopped. Phew!
Then Champion comes back and says he has had enough Vitagen and wanted to give me the bottle. I told him to pass it to apps to finish it. When lil’ President say the bottle again, he started whining and wanted to get down and go to apps. Nope. I had to tell him, “No Vitagen if you cry like this.” He stopped and remained silent in my arms.
Champion was just stunned by the way lil’ President was crying. He hasn’t done something like this before, at least not this bad. He did try crying when demanding something from us when he was about 15-18 moths old, but I managed to make him understand crying / demanding doesn’t work. Now, he gets what he wants in a very polite manner or he will not get it at all (at least not from me).
All this while I though lil’ President is too young to be trained when it comes to demanding. But when I saw what he did this time, I guess he is ready for my disciplining. No time to spare!
Oh my goodness. It’s going to be tough disciplining this little fellow.
But I must say, he did look cute when he was throwing tantrums ;)

He will learn, children know when granparents are around and sometimes they act up.
to me, having a temper also means that he has a mind of himself... not too bad wat :)
starry nights,
Yeap, and with proper guidance, he will learnt the right way ;)
I know.. when with paternal grandparents, they won't let me condition the kids much, "Why you scold?", "Why you beat?", but with my parents, they think it is necessary sometimes, and would want me to condition my kids..
Luckily Champion is good and listens to me most of the time.. now its about my second one *sigh* :)
egghead,
I don't mind a bit temper, but they must be able to control themselves, if not it would be harmful to themselves :)
No control means I won't be able to handle a child who sits on the floor at a supermarket if he demands for a toy! ;P
I think it's a phase they go through.. I just read this today in Baby Centre..

gene lim,
Yeap :) Thanks.
Hmm, I think he got the tantrum from me too ;)
Oh, he has notty chair. You are doing a good job too.
I guess most kids have tantrums.. and it is up to us to teach them to handle these tantrums, right :P
Mine is too temperament. Even when she was bout 4 mths, she has started it. Now she is very talkative & understands almost everything.
puspha,
Yours too? Huh, that young? i think my boy also was like that..
Sometimes it is good huh.. it develops their mental capabilites :)
Hehehe i like how u warned everyone to not sayang him hehehe - sometimes kids get spoiled coz of this - when i was bringing up my cousin sis my mom used to get warned ;p
but yes do train them - naughty kids r wonderful but spoilt ones are bad
visithra,
I had too ;)
Elders everywhere are just the same.. they tend to forget how they conditioned us when we were young.. so, if we don't mind the same conditioning technique, they should not, right ;)
Yeah, same thoughts.. cannot spoil them toooo much, if not I will be crying when they grow up ;P
My oldest always had a temper.. she actually shivers when she is angry..I hv learned it is best to leave her alone and let her cool down.. but the truth is.. I like to see her angry.. and add more fuel to the fire..
immigrant in canada,
Naughty, naughty.. Hehehe, but, sometimes they look cute showing off their anger at that age, isn't it? :)
Your daughter is 8 now, right? Does she know she has temper? Does she deal with it herself or how do you help her?
