OT - when do they understand 'No'?
Well, in answer to your first question, you don't want to know.
As soon as he learn the meaning of the word no, he will start using on YOU! :-) teapot writes: : Or should it be when do they stop doing whatever they are not supposed : to do when you say 'No'? Uh, when he grows up and moves out of the house where you can't say it to him any more. : I am consistent about my 'No's'. Nn slapping the cat, no pulling : cables and putting them in your mouth, no playing with plugs but he : takes very little notice of me. You should never SAY no except when you can ENFORCE it immediately and consistently. Saying no in a situation where it can be ignored sends an unfortunate and, I assure you, regrettable message : Teapot and the Moo boy 10mths old Good luck, Larry |

Nn slapping the cat, no pulling cables and putting them in your mouth, no playing with plugs but he takes very little notice of me. Teapot and the Moo boy 10mths old I've tried to say "no" less and say "Slapping hurts" use "gentle pets" while showing DD how to properly touch the animals. Also, when grabbing something off limits, ie. plugs, etc. I use the "that's not a toy for Olivia" and use the distraction method by giving her something she's allowed to play with. While I use "no" waaaaay more than I should, I've tried to curb the use after hearing that a child hears the word a gazzilion times before the age of 5. Shannon |

"teapot" skrev i en meddelelse om... "Cat" wrote in message news:qtcec.141165 Yup! Try 'gentle, gentle, gentle'. Nothing to confuse the message :-) But I think he's to young. Tine, Denmark but you can't say 'gently' with a cable or a plug socket can you? teapot *g* - you can, but it won't work :-D "Stop!" was my all-purpose word - it worked pretty well, too, even at 10 months. Much better than NO - it stopped whatever ds was doing, and gave me a moment to think of something more coherant to say! Also, it's not used in as many other contexts. Irene |

Or should it be when do they stop doing whatever they are not supposed
to do when you say 'No'? I don't think they understand the word "No" until they become parents themselves. g Maryilee Maggie's Christmas page http://www.angelfire.com/vi/maggie/c...spictures.html Info on hereditary spherocytosis http://www.angelfire.com/vi/maggie/spherocytosis.html |

Teapot and the Moo boy 10mths old DS (almost 18 months) has understood "no" perfectly well for a while now, and is always keen to demonstrate this knowledge. The upside is that whenever he's doing something he shouldn't he's chanting "no, no, no" and shaking his head at the same time, so he doesn't get away with much Libby |

One of the toddler taming books I have says kids don't start to understand
no until they are around 5. Before then they remember for a brief time, then go back to doing the same thing, because they forget easily. It also says kkids can't be trusted to cross the road alone safely until age 11. Andrea mom of 5. |
