How do you solve a problem like Ro-we-na?
How do you solve a problem like Rowena? She is really mischievous, full of energy and does not sit still for even 1 minute. At home, she is constantly jumping, running, climbing, touching things and cannot sit still. Even if she is standing, she will jump on the spot or shrug her shoulders.
She loves to throw things out of the toybox, climb up the table and pull things down from the shelf. Her teacher also told me that she has a very short attention span. When I pick her up from her school, she will be waiting by the door with her backpack on. (that is at least 15 minutes before her class is over) She will quote her favourite line 'I really love it here' followed by 'Come, lets go'. On the way to school, she will start her 'i dont want to go to school. Yucky school'.
I think she really dislikes being in a controlled environment.
Even when she sleeps, she keeps rolling and singing and turning till i have to scream at her. The moment she wakes up, she will look for Harvynna and hit her or pull her hair.
We have this mini play kitchen set at home and Rowena loves to push it down, open the cupboard door and climb inside knowing that it may break. Or she will open up her Dora's dollhouse and sit on the roof, looks at me, waiting to be scolded.
If i take her out, she will run all over the place till i have to scream at her. Dont care if people are looking.
If I scold her, she will come up close to me and say ' Mummy, why you angry with me? What I did?' I loooooove my mummy' and immediately I will forgive her and within 2 seconds, she is back to mischief again.
So, I have cancelled my plan of sending her for speech and drama as she will get bored, also cancelled the plan of sending her to tae-kwan-do or she might beat someone up.
I wonder how this innocent lil baby can turn out to be like this!!

Speech and drama might be good for her cause she sounds like a very dramatic person and the lessons might teach her disciplne.I think so.But she's still a cutie! Aunty Chandra
Muahahaha. The symptoms of a 2nd child.
I was just going to say tae kwan do might do her good. It'll help channel her energy and learn to be disciplined. Hahaha
Maybe this is what they call the Terrible 2 stage? Let's hope she'll be a changed person after hitting 3.
I agree with Irene, I tot tae kwan do might be good to her, help her release some energy.
Whatever you have written, describes my lil one exactly too! He is exactly at the terrible 2 age .. so I am praying he will mellow a little over time. I feel he is still too young to be sent to a nursery or playgroup without me supervision .. so I am trying to tahan till he is 3!
har har har...she sounds cute..how to scold her when she is able to come and say I Love you...
i also need to get help also..Jeriel also has short attention span...
Although you describe how mischievous she might be, I still think she is one smart and sweet little girl :D Not every little one will apologize to you in such a sweet way :) Agree with the other bloggers above, sending her to martial arts class is one of the solution. They are usually very strict on discipline and that will helps her a lot!
That's a typical middle child syndrome. She sounds very much like my Sherilyn. I used to love my weekends with the gals but now, I dread my weekends with Sherilyn coz she is driving me up the wall, just like your Rowena. Each time I read your post about Rowena, I can't help but chuckle at her mischief :D
haahaha...she sure has lots of energy. so what did you eat while you were pregnant with her? :D
Ow! She's lovely! Look at that smile -Dennis the Menace comes to mind!
Looking forward to seeing them both in April! xxx
