Sesi Tanya Pakar Bersama En. Calvin Tan, Child Behavioral Therapist from Nutrigene ModernSciences

Hi MuniraM First of all, I must say do not always fulfill "all" the needs that your children want. Jgn bagi dia concept mcm senang2 dah dapat kehendak dia. Hence, I've always been urging parents to enforce the "Principle Education" meaning you have to be very very stern and strict with your child especially when they're still in the young age (< 10 years old). For example, a lot of children who are having bad behaviour every single day (despite parents shouting or punishing etc.) is because the boundary between the parents and the child is not clear at all! A lot of western education would encourage parents to be their children's friend but you must always remember that you are the person who gave birth to them and they should also be listening to you as well. Such message must be delivered to your child and teach them what is called mutual respect. So example, if your son asked for something (that is reasonable) after you fulfill kehendak dia, you technically have done your job! and

thanks Cik Calvin's advice

Hi Amanda Dari segi genetik, is normal that kebnykan manusia ade gene2 mental health tapi depends on alot of factor yg akan triggerkan sesuatu gene. So my advise is to do a genetik test kanak2 supaya anda bole tau ape personality dan juga keadaan mental health (i.e. ape gene2 mental health) sejak lahir. But I biasa akan mengalakkan ibu bapa supaya menguatkuasakan " principle education" maksud kalau anak berperangai baik, ok lah bagi pujian atau reward; tapi kalau perangai dia buruk, mesti ambik tindakan tegas! So as long as the boundaries are clear, tak yah lah marah2 atau jerit2 tiap2 hari

From a genetic point of view, children who portray behavior like stubbornness, throwing tantrum, OCD etc. are highly related to their mental health genes (e.g. autism, hyperactive, OCD etc.) as well. Hence I always encourage parents to invest in a children dna test for their kids so that you would know not just what's their talents, personality or nutrition conditions are like (in-born) but also what to take care of in terms of their mental health as well which would highly affect their cognitive development and behaviour among their peers.

Hi Nur Zuraika okay kalau biasa budak2 terlalu aktif ke ataupun "hyperactive" or even mcm throwing tantrum terhadap ibu bapa, punca pertama mesti sebab budak tu tak ade "boundary" dgn parents dia. Jadi advise saya ni, garisan boundary antara ibu bapa dgn anak mestinya jelas, maksudnya kau nak bagi anak awak tau awak yg lahirkan dia dan awak yg alpha dlm family, jadi saling hormat-menghormati tu mestinya ada I biasa akan mengalakkan ibu bapa supaya menguatkuasakan " principle education" maksud kalau anak berperangai baik, ok lah bagi pujian atau reward; tapi kalau perangai dia buruk, mesti ambik tindakan tegas! Also dari segi genetik, biasa budak2 yg terlampau aktif atau terlalu sunyi, mestinya ade chance mempunyai genetik hyperactive or autism!
