I was talking to one of our friends last week in Ipoh, she’s also a Mom with 3 kids, with the last child of only two months old. Her 2 other kids have almost the sam age with Tricia and Lyle.

Of course, as Mom, all we talked about was our kids, raising them up and our lives as a Mom. And we got into the topic about active children. Her children were not so active, they can sit still in their high chair for a long time while my kids especially Lyle will start to squirm his way out after 5 minutes in the high chair.That’s why it’s good that high chairs, strollers and car seats have belt so he can’t escape. Even in the house, we always make sure that the grill gate is always closed. If we have a truck, maybe we’ll need truck grills too! Anyways, I always attribute my kids’ ‘activeness’ by their intense curiosity of their surrounding.

Then she told me that one of her friends told her that, the child’s ‘activeness’ is due to too much sugar and coke during the pregnancy time. Of course, I’m guilty of that – drinking coke during pregnancy. But after that statement, I can’t help but think twice, that maybe this ‘theory’ is really true. What do you think?
