At 22 month, Mal is showing traits of the terrible 2. Last week, he began to say NO to things which he would usually do. When you try to correct him and tell him he should not be doing certain things…he would say NO and refuesd to obey. I guess the time has come for him to test our limit and push his boundary. Need to find out more on how to deal with such resistant from him. Maybe a rottan or cane from back home will be good I think it is about time to find out whether I am an advocate for Spare the Rod and Spoil the Kid!

Mal had been naughty and I punished him by asking him to stand in a corner and pull his ears

He was angry

then he paused to think whether is this some kind of new game ??
