@lauren1996, thanks. It's so difficult because all though he's still a baby to me, in reality he's 1 in 2 months! I just don't like to tell him no, but I guess that's how brats are created, getting their own way too often 🙈 x
I don't think it's ever too early to start setting boundaries with our children. You just adapt how you apply them. A frown & a firm 'No' with a baby would be enough. Boundaries aren't us being mean, it's to keep them safe & after time them learning right & wrong. As they get older you explain why. Even now you could say 'No, that's not safe'. Or 'No, dangerous'. As he gets older you'd expand the explanation. Morgan was crawling from 6months so he heard the no word very early on! Haha
@sara-lou, thanks for that, it's actually reassured me a lot. It's difficult because you don't want them to be upset, but it's keeping them safe so you have to really! I feel like a bit of a bully when I say no and take it away, he starts sobbing and sticks out his bottom lip 🙈 it's good to know I'm not being evil by starting now!
