Conversation with Mother In Law - Part 2

This is what I planned to educate her ( my mother in law ).

We need to create a consistent habits in the house in order for EeRynn to grow emotionally healthy and to be a secure child. Consistent habits like eating time, playing time, TV time & sleeping time. To set all these habits, I need to be a consistent & predictable mother. I need to put her to bed even there's a good programme on TV. By doing so, she understand a house is govern by a rule and everyone obey it.

Consequence of not setting up habits to discipline her : She will run the house and be the boss. As she's growing, she will be very demanding. If her demand is not met, she will throw tantrum. This eventually create headache for us.

Situation can only get worst if we have second baby without setting up habits for EeRynn. She will misunderstand us that we don't meet her needs anymore and will starts to demand unnecessary. The situation can only get worst. But if we set up habits at home before the arrival of second baby, she will understand that is a routine. She will not perceive we are neglacting her.

Consistency as a parents is upmost important. If we are consistent with our words & actions, we will be the best role model to our children.

This is what I planned to share with my mom in law... Am I doing the right thing?

Please feel free to share your thoughts with me!
