Last night, I was not able to control my temper as I found out that the boys broke two door locks in our house. They were always playing with the doors and banging them so hard.

It really is so hard to discipline your kids. I somehow believe in the saying Spare the rod, Spoil the child, but sometimes I also feel that this should not be my only way to discipline them as I am also aware that too much hitting can also bring about negative effects on their development. So as much as possible, I try to strike a balance.
