Paul, you were also a parent of young kids before. So, can you tell me what you did when your kids didn't behave very well?
I know Mark is your only child. You may do it differently from what I did. Sometimes I would tap their hands when they made troubles.
I do it, too. You know, sometimes when we eat, my child would pull a dish towards him and grab it with his hands and eat. And if it were something he doesn't like, he would spit it out and throw it into other dishes. He does it very often. I really get mad. I can't help spank him sometimes.
And what does your husband do?
My husband is an American. He criticizes me when I do that. He says that I can't change a child's behavior by using force. He is learning what I am doing now.
But spoiling a child is not going to do him good either! You'Ve got to have patience with him and teach him. It's not easy, I know. It's hard.
