我覺得你仔仔好醒呀!我老公細個同我仔仔一樣,都是不喜歡唱歌給大人聽的。根據我老公分析,他們會認為:點解要我唱歌娛樂你班大人(雖然大人未必是這樣想),我已經唱了一次啦,你既已糾正了我的錯處,為什麼要我再唱呢?
假如換了是我,明知他是故意(真有幽默感),我便會跟他一起唱錯,還要錯得更離譜,大家嘻嘻哈哈便唱完首歌,不知幾好。到底仔仔唱對歌詞重要些,還是與父母一起開開心心重要些?
你硬要你仔仔唱歌,因為他不唱而罰企,爸爸還打他,我覺得他很可憐啊!到底他唱歌給你們聽,對他有甚麼好處呢?我明白父母很喜歡聽孩子唱歌,但他不想唱,為何要迫他呢?
這次你們的處理方法,可能會令小朋友覺得:我唱歌 daddy mummy 就錫我,唔唱就唔錫。假如你仔仔因為咁而就範,我覺得好悲哀!
不好意思,長篇大論,我希望你明白我說什麼。

Repetition to us is the reinforcement of the message - he will be punished when he does something wrong.
We believe the message is much more important than the words or us posing as examples for him to follow and copy. So when even the domestic helper is punishing our BB, we never interfere. Even when we have conflicting views about BB's education, we still help each other out first by reinforcing the punishment and settle our disputes later when the BB is asleep. When BB's asking for help from his granny, his granny will help us by ignoring him or asking him to say sorry to whoever he has wronged.
I don't believe the BB will kill himself by banging his head on the wall. (To protect him, try the plastic floor mats and place them everywhere he can find a hard wall or floor). The message, which is very wrong, of banging his head against the wall is the worried parents and he will soon get what he wants. The BB is controlling the parents and not the other way round.
I remember when our baby was about 2, he once got his whole body on the floor, yelling and shouting, crawling like an animal, completely in opposite to the education we have given him - just a simple want: a very cheap toy car he saw in a cheap toy shop. The place where this happened was very near a wet market, extremely dirty.
My reaction was to pick him up so that he might not get sick from the dirtiness. But I ignored him and kept walking on, as if nothing had happened. My focus was the message - it's no use going naughty and no one would care and give him what he wants. After that, he never once got so naughty as to yell, crawl, cry in the public. He knew long time ago that once he does that, we will only walk away and he will, every single time, get his punishment. After punishment, no candy or whatever in th form of rewards for at least ONE day.
I don't quite remember when I last got angry with him but I think this insistence give us rewards - BB's reasonably good behaviour.
My experience about BB's age and the time when he couldn't even speak is like this - when the message is right and consistent, BBs undersatnd. I started hitting his hand (extremely gently) when he tried to get near an electric fan when he was less than 1 year old.
Hope it helps.
