Hi, Anyone of you giving Manuka Honey for your tots? What do you give it with? I'm thinking of starting my lo on Manuka. Any brands to recommend?

Based on a friend's recommendation, I've started to give this Manuka honey for my 2.5yo for abt a month now. 1/2 a teaspoon a day plain followed by some warm water. I got it from Hock Hua.

More like a rant than a question. Today, I pulled my toddler from his sports day because he got uncomfortable with the crowd and he became fussy, complained that he is hungry and didn't want to join in any activity. I took him out and prepared to leave when he went crying and shouting that he wanted to stay. I took his hand and went away but he continued to shout and parents and kids were looking at me like I'm some kind of a monster mom. I took him to a cafe and he continued to shout. One mother with a kid there was looking at me like what a horrible thing I did making my kid cry like that. I'm not a perfect person. I might be a horrible mom. But if you give in to your kids' every whims, fancies and requests, what do you teach them about life? That they can get away with anything. I want to teach my kid about responsibility, about holding on to your word and that not fitting is okay. So the least thing I want is for other parents to judge me. Okay, just tired I guess from looking after 2 kids the whole day. I guess I just need a holiday :-)

I feel you. I would have done exactly what you did. I had the exact same situation as yours during a holiday. My boy threw temper everyday at public places and people were throwing glances and even made comments about not teaching my child correctly. I totally could feel them judging me and the feeling sucks. But I ignored them and continued with what I wanted to do. You have to ignore them. You know what's best for your child, they don't.

What do you do if you see a kid trying to steal your kid's toy (the one he's playing with) or tries to hassle him out of, for example a toy car so he can get in it? Do you intervene or wait and see how your child reacts to the situation.

I would not jump in immediately, would probably wait a while and observe how my child reacts to the situation. I believe this would help with the development of their social skills, their problem-solving skills and their independence. But I would immediately jump in if it gets out of hand and they start getting physical (hitting, biting).

What do you do or say to strangers who likes to touch or about to touch your baby's hands? At this point your baby has already learned to put her hands in her mouth.

offer him or her to wash hand.
