It was do it or else...... No questions are allowed. My thinking was, at a young age, he needs to be guided and disciplined. As the first grandchild, he's pampered by his two pairs of grandparents and uncles and aunts. So I need to be strict with him. I seldom give in to his demands. My son's coming to 16 soon. I'm blessed that he is obedient and filial. Since he went to Secondary one, i changed my approach, I listen and try to understand from his side of view. As a teenager, he could turn rebellious. Anything can be discussed. We are very close and have a great relationship. I don’t listen to my son when he was much younger. It was do it or else…… No questions are allowed.
