How To Discipline 7 Year Olds

Posted: 05 Mar 2011 PST
Discipline. That is the hardest thing to do for a parent. It’s hard to know what is right and what is wrong for our kids.. and how it will affect their lives. Now that I have a 7 year old, I am faced with this dilemma.

My 7 year old boy is very responsible, he’s doing good in school and he is a good kuya too.. but there are times that he act up. He would not listen to me and he liked teasing his older brothers. One of the reason why he’s always grounded. And he cries so loud (which makes it harder for me). I wish he was the same sweet boy that listens to my every word. Or that he knew how to read safety signs on our walls. I mean, he does know how to read but he seems to ignore it, like when I want him to keep quiet, I would point on the quiet sign and he wouldn’t stop.

I’d be reading a few books in the coming days and will try to learn more about 7 year olds. I better be prepared.. there are 3 more kids waiting to be 7 year olds!

Other Things You Need To Know About Primary Complex (and other treatment tips)

When I posted my article about 3 Important Things You Need To Know About Primary Complex (and other treatment tips), I have been receiving inquires. I am not an expert in the said field, but I will answer it based on my experience. Remember 3 of kids suffered from it.

Primary Complex Medicine Overdose?

What if for some reason, the mom gave the medicine twice in a day? I did it once.. or twice.. and it seems nothing happened to my kids. Blame to the anesthesia during my labor.. there are just days when I can’t seem to remember if I already gave them their dose or not.. better safe than sorry, I just had to give another one. BUT! If it happened more than twice, please do ask your Pediatrician about it.

Primary Complex is not contagious

but is there a chance that a child can be infected again? Yes. It can re occur, so the main treatment for primary complex involves knowing where your child got it. As much as possible, have the people around you be submitted to skin test and xray.

Primary Complex Medicine effect on Liver

Can it (the medicines used to treat Primary Complex) affect the liver? Rifampicin has been said to be safe to the liver.. though I have heard some news that Isoniozid can damage the liver. I still have to ask our Pediatrician and will keep you posted about it.

The Pointed Pencil

My second son went home proud about his writing. I was amazed by his handwriting, even asked him if his teacher wrote it. It was nice and one would think it was written by a higher grade student not a kinder. Later I would ask him to write acne treatments that really work and will take a photo of his handwriting. He told me that the reason why his writing was better that day is his pencil. I sharpened it earlier. He said it was easier to write if the pencil is pointed. That reminds me to sharpen his pencil every morning 🙂
