I need some ideas on how to learn my daughter what no means?? I know shes only young and doesnt understand yet but shes…

@hollyandthomas12 haa theyre smarter than what they make out! Fingers crossed they stop being little buggers haaa xxx

Defo why it’s so hard because they no they are cute as well haha all we can do is try it will come to them in the end xxxx

@noshinxoxo Thank you for the reply.. i think i need to invest in a play pen if nothing changes.. but i will try those others what youve said and see if that works after a couple of weeks.. i guess its just a persistence thing xx

I think a huge mistake is to think they're too young to understand no. My SIL told me she did time out from 9 months. Because obvs they won't understand to sit on the naughty step or corner, she used the play pen as a substitute. For me I got very lucky and enforced no from about 5 months. I think it's just luck, but I have one that listens very clearly to no. The only thing I think I did to help was that I didn't use no unless it was dirty or dangerous. And when I use no its always get on their level, change your tone of voice and implement any consequences. Completely change your tone, your stance, your look. If they decide to lay on the floor and cry, let them. See how long they go for. If they hit, then I'd pick them up and move them into a safe space like a play pen. They throw this tantrum only a few times and then the word no sticks, In my experience. Nowadays if he's really not listening, for example he hits me, I will just pick him up and put him down again and then get on his level and say no, sternly and also explain what he's getting told off for. Usually just the jarring of being moved from one place to another makes them think woah, mums being serious. It's so hard though. Each child reacts differently, I hope you find what's best xx

@hollyandthomas12 haaa they both must be the same then coz he reminds me so much of gracie with what your saying 😂 shes hilarious and i think thats why its so hard xx

Yeah like they are shouting at you back Thomas does that to and points at me when he is doing it haha they are funny 😂 got to love them haha. Xxx

@hollyandthomas12 i do this several times a day.. no wonder i have a constant headache with the screaming 🙈 i have to turn my face away when im trying to tell her off coz it just seems to go over her head and sge starts talking jibberish to me 😂 xx

@marymoo ive been reading alot of things up about it on different websites and they all say that those wont work because theyre too young to understand.. thank you for your reply though i think when shes abit older i will start doing those things :) xx

I just tell him of but him down and let him cry it out he soon finds something to do lol but it’s also hard not to laugh at them being so cheeky xxx

@hollyandthomas12 haaa thats exaxtly what gracie does.. it must be a stage they go through if theres not just my child who secretly came from the devil 🙈 fingers crossed she grows out of it soon its so stressfull xxx

But them on time out every time they move put them back or take there favourite toy or blanket xxx

It’s so hard Thomas just hits me or laughs at me saying no it’s so hard but he is so naughty I sometimes thing aww he doesn’t understand but then think you no what you doing stop!! Xxx

@srose1989 its hard isnt it! I just havent a clue what to do.. every one keeps saying shes going through terrible 2s early but tbh i think shes just trying to push her luck 😂😂 x
