Throwing a fit

My husband and I have a quick movie date yesterday and watched “The Karate Kid.” What stuck to my head was how Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) taught Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) kung fu. The learning system revolved in by putting a jacket on, taking it off, hanging it up, and taking it down.

After the movie, I even joke the husband to teach our son how to be disciplined as I always receive calls from my mom every single day that the little boy is throwing a fit. I got all stressed up learning that even my mom can’t handle his attitude. He was always crying and screaming whenever he can’t get what he wants. If you scold him, he’d promise to behave but a few minutes after, here he goes again. I really don’t know what to do with him. I have tried to speak in mellow voice so as for him to understand that we were getting mad whenever he throws tantrums and for him to realize that he can’t get all he wants but to no avail. I had no choice but to put my voice in a higher tone to catch his attention and for him to follow me.

Wherever we are, we aren’t saved from shame as he’d wail on the top of his lungs whenever he wants a toy and wants to go to some place. I tell you, I have seen him lying on the floor (public places, i.e., mall) if we say “no” to whatever he wants.

He was really getting to be a hard headed boy. Good Lord, what shall I do?
