hi kizzia, true, you train your kids muna dito, my youngest sister is in LA and dun na ipinanganak yung youngest niya, girl, but her two boys dito til the eldest was 6 and the 2nd, 4. aysus, alam nila ang ibig sabihin ng BELT. hehe.  and til now, even if they're 14, 10 na, remember pa din nila na disobdience means punishment.  our kids kasi will really test us if we're keeping true dun sa mga threats natin, kaya when i tel yancy na: On 3 Yanc, may palo ka na. Pag nag 3x na siya ay wala ng sabi sabi, ang dialogue ko na, Yanc, ready your butt coz here comes your palo at WHAM! isang matindi. 1 palo lang na medyo masakit kasi more than that it becomes a negative thing na. then no cuddling, no hugs after the palo but time out for both of us. me, to cool down and she, to ventilate her feelings through crying (pero cry din ako patago). after a while, she usually comes to say sorry sa akin. pero ngayon, lessened na ang mga ganito kasi malaki na sya.

Cute naman story mo eve,how I wish my son can talk na din so he can answer me childish things hehe.

So far, sa spanking ko sa kanya medyo nagwowork na yong "who's the boss" ni mommyjazz. When he spanks me, I spank him harder in return.So parang sometimes pag gusto nyang magspank hindi natutuloy coz takot sya mapalo ko sya ulit...

TV plays a limited role in learning. Although children may learn some concepts from educational
programming, and enjoy watching these shows, research tells us that children learn
best from interactive, hands-on experiences—touching, feeling, manipulating, problem-solving—with
people they care about.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no TV for children under 2. If you do choose to allow your child to watch, here are some suggested guidelines:

Watch with your child. Make TV watching an interactive experience. Dance and sing together. “Extend the learning” by talking about what he’s viewing and
connecting it to the real world. If the show deals with the theme of sharing,
point out how this comes up for your child in his daily life. If he’s learning
about colors, talk about the different color houses you see as you take a walk.

Don’t use TV/video to put your child to sleep. This makes it hard for
him to learn to fall asleep on his own. Instead, establish a bedtime routine that
includes soothing activities such as reading and singing softly to him before
you put him down.

Limit viewing time. A 30- to 60-minute-a-day limit for any “screen time”
(meaning time spent in front of a TV or computer screen) is reasonable for
2- to 3-year-olds.

mommy rmi, many thanks for posting this one.  i copied it and i shared it sa mga ofc mates ko. ganda! na validate din yung mga opinion ko kasi my MIL loves o watch soap operas so pag visit ang baby ko napapanood din siya, then paguwi naman sa nanay ko (where she really stays) bawal naman soap operas so medyo noong una naconfuse c yancy: pwede ba o hindi para sa kanya ang soap operas.

mommy boninay, try mo ibang flavor ng milk.  choco milk okey din naman. masarap yung lactum tsaka sustagen. tsaka u can get calcium din from other sources aside from milk, di ko lang alam kung maty type ng baby mo kasi broccoli, cauliflower ay pwede din pala taho but not too much arnibal tsaka not everyday. good luck.

mommies, my nanay is a retired midwife and when both my niece and daughter had their episode na lack of appetite, although nireseta ng mga pedia na mag take sila ng appetite stimulant, hindi binigyan ni mother ko, instead we changed their diet as in over haul.  over time, bumalik ang gana nila. pag po over stimulated ang bata, minsan nadi distract kaya di kumakain.

only child din Yona? 

when we're out naman at walang breastfeeding station sa malls I breastfeed Vierte kung saan sya abutan ng gutom, tapos I just cover with either the baby sling kung dala namin, breastfeeding bib, or lampin.

marami nag stare pero I dont mind kasi gusto ko maging aware yung mga tao around na nothing's wrong with breastfeeding at di naman kailangan ikahiya. bahala nalang kung mag stare sila. Whenever I see fellow mommy's who breastfeed publicly kahit na nung dalaga pa ako I find it so intimate and full of love.

ay true true mommy gailcaidoy.  hala lang BF lang me ke sa mall o sa bus o san man, aba, pag gutom na ang aking prinsesa, maduling sila sa pagtingin.  naaliw nga me one time nasa SM Dasma kami, yancy was around 2 na that time (i breastfed yancy til she was 2 months short of 3 yrs old), me mag bf na nakatingin, yung girl parang ilang na ilang (ewan k lang kung nainsecure kasi big boobies ako nun bwahahaha) sya, isip ko, WAIT KA LANG IHA pag me baby ka na. di ba?

hi mommy may...my nanay kc doesn't allow her apos to watch marimar before, and now even DYESEBEL di sila pwede watch, yancy is 3.6 and her two cousins are ages 6 and 4 pero hanggang mga cartoons lang sila at malimit vcd ang pinapanood nila.  we notice kasi na before na may tv time sila, mas demanding sila when it comes to things like toys or going to fastfood stores. e ayaw ng lola ng ganun kasi daw nagiging bilmoko babies sila hehe
