i would like to have some information and/or opinions.. to be fair to my kid.
since I have a dog (just got a new puppy a yellow lab) and a cat that my girlfriend owns. they both live here.
My son is 4 and half years old.. as you can tell he's into everything.
since the puppy loves to chase over people which my son doesn't like the biting part.. he does like to play with the puppy and the cat. however he doesn't like when the puppy chase over him. i told him that he cannot run. however sometimes he forgots that rule. he runs. i tend to have to put casper (the puppy) in the cage almost everyday.
my question here is....
do you let your kids run in the house?
i also want to have my son to get used to the puppy and not be afraid. in order to do that.. i get the puppy out of the cage.. if she tries to bite his feet where she always bite at. i yelled at the puppy "no" how do you guys think i'm doing doing the right thing. i feel a bit ashamed that i'm moving things too fast in getting a dog when having a son who's 4 1/2.
however other questions i have are not related about the puppy..
do you think its fair to limit the kid to have 1 hour of t.v. time? this is what i do.. meaning.. he can only have 1 hour of t.v. time which includes games, and cartoon. would like to have ur opinion.
i do at times tell him to go play in his room since he's the only child in the house.. am i doing this right?
and one more question..
If a child is doing something bad.. taking away priviliage or giving time-out is the best solution? just need help here
i just want to be a fair father here. not too strict or too loose. and want to have my son be a kid who he wants to be.
thanks for helping :|
