Remember I posted about teaching Jayden about not talking or taking anything from strangers?
Hah!
The real test came yesterday. We're at this consumer thinggy in BU and while I was busy listening to this woman selling some cleaning salt, suddenly I felt someone pulling my hand. So I looked to my right and I saw Jayden pulling my hands and pointing at this man. He was holding a small cup of Yogurt ice cream --> offering to Jayden.
Hehe the lil boy didn't dare to take it until I said "Say thank you to uncle la..". He quickly said Thank You and happily ate the yogurt Ice cream. So yeah, he learn the lesson well. He can only accept something with my permission.
And I thought my son is blur about the entire thinggy. *Phew*
But then am I gonna stop reminding him? Nolah.. just today while gardening I saw the news on some foreign beggars that was featured not long ago. So I quickly asked Jayden to come over and have a look at the picture. "You see, this person you don't even know if the person is a girl or boy. Cos this person took the ice cream and followed the uncle la. So they cut the ears, cut the hand and you see, they ask them to sit under the sun like that. You want?"
You should see his facial expression. His eyes were so big and he looked so shocked. He was stonned for a while when he saw the picture and he ran away shouting NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
WAKAKAKAKAKAAKAKAKAK!
ReplyDeleteGoood! Very good reinforcement!
hahahahhahahahahahha...very very funny :D i'm trying to picture Jayden's stoned expression :D Hope he doesn't get any nightmares lah...poor kid :D After reading your post, I talked to Ashley. She asked me why I can't follow or take the ice-cream from the stranger *slaps forehead*
ReplyDeleteGood that Jayden remember the lesson well
ReplyDeleteHuh? I am confused, you ask him to take the ice-cream from the uncle. Won't that be inconsistent?
ReplyDeleteNow difficult to warn children, all I do is pray for protection over them from the Lord Almighty up there.
Trying to picture when he said NOOOOO... Hahaha...mad cute lor... Now I can has more tippos on how to be a better mum... Thanks babe :)
ReplyDeleteha,sometimes we really have problem sending the correct instructions to the children,dont we?
ReplyDeleteyou say i cant do it, but why you ask me to do it,,,? i always blur blur,, thank god, my sons are ok now.
hey take care now,and have a great week ahead
Michelle & Eugene: ha.... i think u both got me wrong. He asked and told me tat the uncle gave him ice cream and I gave him permission to take the ice cream.
ReplyDeleteit's very hard to keep an eye on the kids safety nowadays. Sigh...whebever we are out, i need to make sure Kelvin hold his hand tight with me, as i also always remind him, if stranger catch him, then he wont be able to see daddy,mummy and mei mei again, and he needs to live with other people with no Tv, no computer ....i can't think of any better way to explain how insecure the current society is to the kid...
ReplyDeleteyeah...keep reminding our kiddos & be alert & cautious all the time are the key.
ReplyDeletein this world today, we just hv to be careful all the time :D

ReplyDeletei hope by J seeing the newspaper u showed him..he will be scare n dont accept stuff from strangers anymore.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Well good that he asked permission:)
ReplyDeleteHope he din get any nightmares after seeing that pic. hehehe But it's really comforting to know that he understood wat u were telling him the other nite. Understand AND follow instruction. Good boy!
ReplyDeleteAduh! One minute ask the boy to take ice cream from an uncle and next minute, told him not to take ice cream from uncle! He must be worry now.....poor boy! But it is good to teach your children about those bad people outside who prey on little children. Must tell them not to talk and take anything from strangers without mum or dad's permission.
