hi all, im new here.. i have some qns regards to my 26 months.. is it a must to discipline ur child to really listen to ur every word?? my 26 month cant speak full language yet.. he only say 'what is this' best.. example: last weekend we having staycation with family and he's been getting into fights with the youngest cousin.. he will cry without stopping when i said no to him.. i dont really beat him but last weekend, i beat him the most which i really dont want to.. i seldom use cane too.. and when the youngest cousin wants to play his scooter, he defend and cry again, but the youngest cousin also got wrong as she snatch while my son is holding it.. can someone tell me how old does they understand what we saying? currently, im preg with 2nd child @ 26 weeks.. im afraid i will breakdown if he wont stop crying.. he doesnt know how to stop, he just go on and on.. thanks.. And to add: recently i m super stressful about finance.. i take back home less than 1.4k.. i m going to change job but is until end of the year then can change as im expecting now.. i keep on feeling to stop work and stay home with my tod until i give birth.. but i cant.. i dont know what is wrong with me recently.. i feel like breaking down but no one understand.. they only will say is my own fault..

Hi Mummy, Its never easy having to cope with a toddler and your pregnancy at the same time. Always TRY to maintain your cool as your upswinging emotions will indeed affect your unborn baby...I know it's difficult, however please try for the sake of your baby & toddler. As for your toddler, do acknowledge his emotions (he was being upset as his scooter was snatched away by cousin) and gotta explain to him very patiently. We know by beating, it really does not help him to understand what is happening. Don't forget to always reassure your love for him again :) For yourself, taking it a little easier at work/home will go a long way in managing your own emotional health too... Your kids need you. Jia you!!
