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!
