Spanking

I was so bored that I browse the web for whatever could refresh me and opened my yahoomail, I accidentally read a newsletter from one of the sites the I have subscribe in and found a very interesting article that spanking can lead into a more aggressive behavior..
It says that we all know that children need guidance and discipline, but parents should focus on positive, non-physical forms of discipline, such as time-out rather than spanking,and there are theories that, the more frequent we hit our children for whatever reason, the more stress they're feeling, which can impact brain development, emotional development and can impact behavior." so it may develop in their memories that, it is okay to spank them when they commit mistakes, which is not good since it could lead to a more violent adulthood
.

I wouldn't say that I never spank my child, I did specially, if I was so stressed out at work and she is also provoking me of doing something that I won't, but it is not to the extent of hitting her, just a little pinch in the side will do for her. I do believe that imposing the reward system and respecting her the way she is respecting me is still the best way to not get a defiance..

Valero Dead!

Shocking News indeed!...The former lightweight boxing champ Edwin Valero was found dead on his jail cell on Monday just hours after he was arrested for allegedly killing his wife...
I was sitting at home watching T.V when my husband arrived at home last night and he told me that there is a news about Valero killing his wife...He was shocked and disappointed because he was such a boxing fanatic and he wants to see Valero fight Pacquiao in the future since this Venezuelan boxer was one of those considered to face Pacquiao.I couldn't believe either, he is a Big name in Boxing and what in the world is he thinking when he did that, he had a bright future ahead of him
But that is not the end of this one shocking news after the arrest, He was found dead in his jail cell...
A Tragic Loss for a Champion!!

My World 2.0

My World2.0 by Justin Beiber returns to #1 on The Billboard200, replacingUsher’s Raymond V Raymond , which debuted in the top spot last week. Bieber, 16, is the youngest male solo artist ever to top the chart for two or more weeks. Ricky Nelson was 17 in 1958.Bobby Brown  was 19 in 1989 when he headed the chart for three weeks with Don’t be Cruel . (and turned 20 when the album returned to #1 for three additional weeks). Stevie  Wonder’s  Little Stevie wonder/The 12 year old genius, released in 1963 when he was 13, top for only one week on the chart.

My Worl 2.0 has sold 676,000 copies in its first three weeks. It sold more copies than the Jonas Brothers Lines, Vines and Trying times it only sodl 635,000 copies since its release in June.

"Baby," the biggest hit from Bieber's current album, has sold 1,525,000 digital copies. Bieber owes a big debt to Ludacris, whose rap gives the light, poppy record a bit of texture and heft. "Baby" is closing in on "One Time" as Bieber's top seller to date. "One Time" has sold 1,815,000 copies in the past 40 weeks.

As a teen idol, Bieber receives both adoration and abuse. I think the "haters" should lighten up. Twenty years from now, when you ask someone in their late 20s or early 30s to name the first song they ever downloaded, or the first album they ever bought, or the first concert they ever attended, many are going to smile and say, "Justin Bieber." Young Mr. Bieber is turning people most specifically the young girls of this generation to popular music. Many of these young fans are going to start here and move on to other things. Today, Justin Bieber. Tomorrow who knows it may still be him but the worls is spinning so I can only guess.

MY CHILD NOW

My  5 year old now . Maye had turned 5 last March 31. 2010 and she is growing really fast . She now knows thousands of words and can say most of them clearly. She can describe people and events in detail and uses more complex sentences. In fact, she  often talk continuously and it is non stop, she  likes to tell stories, ask questions, or simply share with me every thought that pops into their heads. She is practicing all the language skills she have been picked up over the past 4 years, and I noticed that her  questions and comments  mirrors her, developing a new way of thinking.

My  5-year-old is fairly reliable about using proper verb tenses now.

I also notice that she is picking up conversational etiquette. like being more  patient in conversations and more willing to take turns talking., but most of the time she is very talkative that she does all the talking and if it is my turn to react and she doesn't like it, she will automatically give her own point of view even though I am not yet done with what i was about to tell her.
 It is good to know that my child is developing as a normal kid and smarter that I expected...I thank God for her being a blessing to both me and JR.
