cords are a pain, they can be hard to hide and tie down, and they are just so fascinating to babies!!!

Kiara is 3 and Teagan is 2, now we're expecting our long awaited 3rd!

Yup, same with controls and buttons for Lily, she already knows how to turn the phone on/off speaker and enjoys doing that and loves turning the Xbox or PS3 on!

It's a tough age, they basically have all curiousity, low understanding and no self-control anyhow. I say "no" and move them....every time....some things are definitely worth putting up. Others I convince myself are worth leaving around for the teaching experience but who really knows? A 15 month old responds a whole lot better.

Kez, it was like that here too at first a couple of months ago 'I'd say no' and she'd giggle and do it agian or anyway! I've worked on my serious 'no/stop' face and my voice and I think it's helped but since she's been crawling I wasn't sure if suddenly happy mummy has become grumpy mummy was scaring her or if it was just because she really wanted to explore iygwim!

Definitely time for baby proofing Nic! when my kids started crawling and getting into everything, I basicly cleared the lounge of ANYTHING that was dangerous to them, or anything I didnt want broken, I taped draws shut, I put plugs things in the sockets and I made sure the floor was spotless(like no small things they could choke on).
Tablecloths had to go as once caden pulled it and nearly had the fruit bowl on his head!
As for dicipline, Ive always said NO! in a very stern voice, and also stop!, they will get upset but they have to learn, and when they stop what they were doing, i always said good boy/girl and moved them away. Distraction is good too! I still use that!

I used no with Caitlyn, and as she got older we would (and still do ) count to 3 and she always stops what shes doing
Tyler on the other hand is my handful child, when I reprimand him,I get down to his level,look him in the eye and say "don't do that Tyler" or sometimes depending on the situation,just a quick "NO " .
Yeah he cried a couple of times at first, but who cares? they get over it,doubt he'll even remember

Ooh, countings good, we do that in the bath before I pour water on her hair (like me she hates water on her face), so counting could work.
Getting down to her level is also a good one too.
Thanks for all the feedback everyone!

Starting to discipline and the word ’No’
