Thank you for the inputs friends.
I am gonna discuss this with my wife, and yes, I am gonna show love him a lot, a lot more than the past.
I am gonna have 5 day holiday due to moslim festival here, so will get good time to do it wit no work interfering .I got very similar advice from a colleague of mine, who also advised telling bed time stories, and like u said, talk to him a lot without under estimating his grasping power.
Anyway More spanking is ruled out...
Thanks alot
God bless
