Zethan have numerous bad habits and addictions which appear to worsen by the days.
Pacifier addiction ~ ever since eons back when he takes to the pacifier, there has been no turning back. while most of his peers have been weaned off pacifier, as opposed, Zethan is getting more addicted to it. Recently it worsen as he go searching for it very frequently at home. If not given then brave a major meltdown which hardly anything can distract him.
Stinky pillow ~ many people are fascinated over his obsession with his stinky pillow aka Chow Chow. Those who have seen can vouch on how he is seriously addicted to it as though there is some form of forbidden drugs on it *the way he stuck it under his nose to sniff it*. well it started with pillow which after a while appear to be redundant thus become the pillow case which is much more hygienic and easy on 'maintenance'. The good thing is he is fine with any of the chow chow when the dirty one is in the laundry. He is not particular over the smell of it. This being the case, there are a few pieces to rotate around but before long, one after one are being misplaced and the 'crisis' started with there's only 3 pieces left (2 pieces at home and 1 piece for outing).
Both mummy and grandma have been cracking their brains over a solution to resolve this issue. so one fine day, it strike mummy that perhaps the chow chow can be replaced with a Mickey Mouse cloth since he is such a fan of MMC. Mummy took the pain to source around and found a piece of blue Mickey cloth. Grandma sew it into pillow cases. BUT it did not work as of now after a few days! Try harder, be persistent!
TV addiction ~ initially he is 'tuned' to the 8.30pm timeslot for MMC so before the clock strike 8.30pm, he will hand the adults the remote to switch channel. Then it escalated to demanding the TV channel to be switched on to Playhouse disney every now and then. NOW it became whenever the TV is switched on, he will fight with the adults to have his channel on never mind he is watching or not. Refusal to do so will result in his favourite antic ~ scream, yell, cry and fuss. sooner or later, the neighbours are going to call the police for child abuse which sound very much like it.

He can refused to go for his shower because of the TV.
The root of the problem is that the caregivers love to use the TV as the mode to pacify be it naptime or during meltdown which prove to be effective by and large. No doubts it works but it has turn into a major concern now and warrant immediate attention urgently to prevent the addiction from escalating further.
Sound like quite a handful??!!
