A kid who never threw a tantrum behaving in such a manner can be very very worry-some.<\/p>\n

My first reaction was that of amusement when i saw him with chopped hair<\/a>, but Tarique felt angry… and then I too was angry. He got scolded – I felt he did it because I denied him the new binoculars fearing he will break them and gave him the old ones.<\/p>\n

Second time it happened yesterday<\/a>, I talked with him gently – he told me he was feeling very bad so he did it… I had denied him the Cartoon TV He had been watching too (3-4 hrs) much of it. I told him to do something creative, make a greeting card or something – which he made and made very well.<\/p>\n

Today again, he wet his shorts while skating – I had asked Dinesh to stay back instead of going skating with aasim, since there was work for him in the office.<\/p>\n

I see a pattern – wonder if its my own figment of imagination, but I feel its his way of defiance, his way of rebelling, or a kind of tantrum.<\/p>\n

On asking, he does not say that he did all that because he was denied something. If it was that, it would be easy for me to explain to him… now i dont know how to handle<\/p>\n

But to begin with, both of us have started spending much more time with Aasim. Lets hope it helps.<\/p>\n

In school, all his teachers always tell me that he is a very well behaved child, very mature and obedient. But they also tell me (and we feel it too) that he lacks self confidence.<\/p>\n

As the child grows, bringing him up becomes more and more challenging, and so involving, The ways Aasim is, i wonder what will happen when he steps in to his teens!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
