Last week was bad…. Rephrase::: Last week, my patient level was super low 
By Friday, E was behaving really badly, and I was also super upset.
Though I was really upset with him, being the adult in the house, I have to take the lead. Called for a “Family Meeting”!
So, we had E, Z and me sitting on the floor of our living room, and me asking a few questions to EZ, trying to bring everyone to help make the home more at peace. Really can’t remember what I asked exactly, but I certainly know God was in the midst.
I can only remember the last question when each of us have to listen to the other 2 tell us:
What can you do to make the home more peaceful?
Z told E >>> Gor Gor, you have to be nicer to me.
E told Z >>> Z, you have to listen to me.
E to me >>> Mummy, you have to forgive us and don’t be angry for so long.
I really love this part when we told each other what we really hope from them. Especially love it that E told me his feeling about me.
The following morning, I found this beside my pillow in an envelop:
haha… yes, just a simple letter with one or two lines to make us forget about being angry for long.
ahhhhhhhh…. heart melted liao ……
that is just so sweet!
I wish I can do that (have a mtg like what you did)… Well done and sweet of him/her to “send” the letter.
Julia, why can’t you?
who drew that?
No matter how much they talk back & rebel, deep down, they are super super sweet and loving. When ppl say kids are innocent, I think it’s so true.

Dun think R can understand the meaning of it… Although she’s same age as Z, I think she’s not that matured… I’m still trying one-on-one explanation with her. But I’m still drawing inspiration/ideas from you and hope to do this if there happens to be a big issue.:)
Yvonne>>> E drew that.
Julia >>> actually my 4.5yo dd was also blur blur.
