Asked my son to eat his food or I'll switch off the TV and he stood up from his chair and switched off the TV.

He's now playing by himself and has abandoned both the food and TV. What does this mean?

Me going through the parenthood manual because I must have skipped this chapter.

Guyss, he's 4 at the end of the month and extremely independent.

He's playing, I'm working. He'll probably eat the food when he's hungry, which could be at night (this isn't his first rodeo, he just hasn't called my bluff before by switching off the TV).
I've locked the fridge so he doesn't go and eat marshmallows. It's a mexican standoff.

I have gone back to work and largely ignored him while he was playing, anyways he's binned his potatoes and now he's come to tell me that he is sorry and he'll eat amala (he knows this is difficult to make and he's out to frustrate me)

I really don't know what is going on.

The potatoes are in the dustbin, his kindle is off and somehow he's got his hands on my phone and is now watching Baby bus. I'm kicking him off my phone.

Before meets after. I didn't make this food, his dad did. I'll leave him to come sort this out.

I gave birth to myself, I'll go and call my mum now and apologise to her.

This man found a capri-sun in this house, he wants capri-sun and peppa pig.

Appreciate everyone trying to help me out with this sticky situation. And for all the "discipline him gang", my son is very quick to apologise for whatever he's done wrong and acknowledges them. But he says an emphatical No to whatever punishment you give him.

Naughty corner worked for a year, now he doesn't care. His dad and I are trying not to spank him and he can be reasonable when he wants to. He has an attention span of a fish, so we are also dealing with that.

One time I asked him to kneel and raise his hands, his dad's heart was broken. Our son quickly realized it was a physical punishment and has refused to do it again since then. Anytime we recommend isolation or withdraw privilege he doesn't even budge.

He's a polite & helpful kid. He's empathetic, thanks his teachers/doctors.
One time I snapped at him for throwing his ball at the mirror, he left the room for a min, came back to say sorry for throwing the ball & when I apologise for shouting at him he told me "that's okay".

Anyways, he's drank his capri sun while I was tweeting that he's a good child. Odabo.

first day at his new school my son sat down for all of 10 mins and stood on his table. When his teacher asked why he said he's tired of sitting down, so his teacher took him to the playground where he ran around for an hour till he was tired. His teachers have been helpful.

I caved, he's eating oreos now but no kindle or TV for now. Thanks everyone.

We are currently having a conversation on why he should use his words if he doesn't want the potatoes instead of binning it. He's been saying a lot of sorry(s) but I think we will just withdraw screen time for the rest of today.

I'm being asked why I keep marshmallows in the fridge and why is the plastic not cut up.

1. I live in the tropics, marshmallows at room temperature is melted marshmallows.

2. I live in a third world country that burns all its waste and releases toxins in the air.

Hope this is helpful and hopefully I'll stop getting asked these questions.
