Wah can vomit blood teaching this dude to understand the danger of talking and following stranger. But what to do? Gotto keep reminding him until he undertstand it. Guess this is what I'm gonna do during this holiday. So how did you teach your kid? Care to share?
and ......Merry Kissmass everyone!
Can't help you, my boy understands this well, but my gal....:P Still working on it.
ReplyDeletei m still working on this too with Jeremy .... btw Merry Christmas to you and your family ........... *.*
ReplyDeleteI guess kids at this age, they don't really understand the real dangers out there. You're teaching him well. No vomit blood la... I think it's pretty fun and entertaining (to hear his responses)
ReplyDeleteMerry Xmas to u and family..
ReplyDeleteONce u know the formula already..then let me know..cos we are not that advance stage yet....hahahahha
Never taught my kids that when they were young.. none that i can remember.. :) thank God no aunty or uncle gave them ice cream and asked them to follow..
ReplyDeleteMerry Kissmas to u too!!
Hahahaha ... but that's certainly is such an enjoyable experience reading your mommy and boy boy's conversation :) I am sure one day he will understand what mommy means and hope our kids may resisted the temptation from strangers la :)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family dear :)
i also do like u, tell her the worst scenario ever if she goes missing and pray she gets the message. so far so good, she's scared to leave us and will always see if we're around if we're not next 2 her. my no. 2, still young but already wandering off not bothered if we're next 2 her or not. will hv 2 work on her when she understands.
ReplyDeletemerry christmas to all of u!
well.. he will be able to understand de... don't stress don't stress...
ReplyDeletewishing you, Big C, Justin, Jayden all Merry Christmas and blessed festive!
wahaahahaha..... but he ended able to understand ma!!!
ReplyDeleteHow to resist triple scoop ice-cream leh? LOL I guess there's no short cut. Hv to keep telling them n reminding them. Hmmm... I haven't even started this talk with ah boy. My girl u/stds but dunno how she'll react when put in the situation.
ReplyDeleteHaha..we also use the 'cut hand' thing to Brae when he ran far away to the corner of a shopping mall. Really difficult to get them to stay near you sometimes. Maybe should start to use the leach again hor.
ReplyDeleteBtw, Merry Christmas to you!!!
merry xmas!
ReplyDeleteThe cut hand stories give me a chill. It is so sad really.
ReplyDeleteYeap, must really have to monitor them and not let them wonder around!
kakakaka...ur son's answers so funny. my 5yo got lost twice this year. even after telling her the cut cut story, she still not scared so the best is leave her at my mom's when i go out shopping without hubby. she can told the tesco security that her daddy's name is Uncle David and mommy's name is Auntie Michelle! I'm sure the find it weird! lol.
ReplyDeleteMayweee Cwismas Ya. :)
Gosh..you must have had a bad scare when he gone missing though it's a short period.
ReplyDeleteanother thing must teach him is not to follow stranger eventhough they say mami or dadi ask them to fetch him unless they give correct password
Merry Christmas to you and your family :)
muahahahahahahahhahha...i cannot help laughing at Jay's answers. Too funny :D Ok..seriously, i think i better have this kind of talk with Ash too.
ReplyDeleteI used to share about missing children story with my girls. They are really afraid of stranger one. Not only stranger, even relatives and freinds, whom we seldom meet also they scared one. The cut hands and cut legs story is part of my bedtime stories actually, but i was a bit regret to cause my girls so frightening of people now.
ReplyDeletepoor boy kena tough lesson from mummy, si beh cute man!..but hor, i think i tell qiqi too much story, until he become overly reserved and timid now :(
ReplyDeleteheheh cute. maybe boys la but my girl understand. whenever i dun hold her hands she will hold on to my clothing. my son .. i slap head. :)
ReplyDeletemerry christmas to u and ur family!!!!!!
If aunty Ai Lian give big tub of ice cream, you follow aunty or not? YES! I taught my kids using the Berenstein Bear story book.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you! You give him too much things to absorb at one time so he cant take it . try telling him some more day by day am sure he will get to understand!
ReplyDeleteI am really started to teach my kids about this, :(
I think it's quite difficult to teach and for them to fully comprehend at this age. Just gotta keep a closer eye lor.....that's why those Japs wear a leash on their kids in a city with MILLIONS of people. But I'm just glad that Jayden is safe. Hope you had a merry Xmas!
ReplyDeleteme too have to constantly reminding my kids about this issue too
ReplyDeleteWakakakakakaka...so funny la the conversation.
ReplyDeleteBut definitely an important one to have with the kids.
hahaha... can't stop laughing.. you don'tlah traumatic jayden so much, later got night mare..
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you.
Aiyoh! I feel so tired reading your post. Imagine how tired talking to the fella. And its my turn soon.
ReplyDeleteI has this exact same talk with Ashley when she started going to school. It's sad how our society has turned into huh?
ReplyDeleteHis responses are so cute and totally innocent. Really entertaining to read how a child thinks.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, keep repeating a few times and he should be able to remember your warning!
Hahaha, enjoy reading how you teach your son! My turn will come soon lo,let's see what my son will say :)
