My DS has just turned one, and is sooooooooo cute it is hard to be mad at him He does get into things he is not allowed, and if I take him away, he will throw a full on tantrum

I'm sure this is perfectly normal behaviour! However some things I don't bother battling him over, as I think if you stop them doing EVERYTHING you will spend your whole day saying no. So he is allowed in the pot cupboard, he sometimes plays with the tv remotes and occasionally my phone.

However, I am wondering if I should be "stricter" with him? My friend has a daughter who is three months older who actually LISTENS to her when she says no, and puts things back if she is not allowed them. She also puts her in time out!

I just don't want to end up with a brat because I have not be strict enough with him at a young age. I just wonder whether he is really old enough to understand consequences etc?
