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..

I know it's frustrating but I honestly think beating a child should not be an option especially when he cannot express himself fully yet. If this happens often, he will be negatively affected in the long run :( At his age, your son is testing his limits and boundaries, that's why he is acting up and beating him will only worsen things. Being firm and patient is an ideal way but at the end of the day, it's not fair for me to tell you what you should or shouldn't do as a parent because ultimately, I'm not in your shoes or living your life, feeling how you feel. I pray things will improve for you mommy
