Disciplining a baby?

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
How in the world do you teach a baby that "no" means "no"? I swear Brenna has been going after the cords in the wall since the minute we moved in... I can spend half an hour moving her away from it and sternly saying "no" and she just crawls back with a big smile on her face. I can try and give her something else to entertain her but nothing works until she is ready to stop. I get so frustrated.

I say just keep doing what you're doing, she'll eventually get it.

I have so been there. Both with cats and kids. Can you tape them down so they aren't dangling? That helped a little bit. In the end, we just had to hide them or remove them. That's why we went to wireless internet.

I taped them down this morning but the big thing is that there is a filter for the internet that looks like a really cool toy.

Nice I would continue to do what you are doing and be firm with angry face. Let her know that is a nono and Brenna will get an owee.

I think you should just keep doing what you're doing.

Yep, I would and did keep saying No and a would give my kids a smack on the back of the hand, altho that is not politically correct these days. I still reckon a smack on the hand is better than an electricuted child.

The other thing you may be able to try in the meantime is getting a box or crate of some sort cutting out the back of it and using it to cover the mysterious new "toy" she is trying to get to. Just make sure the box is big enough to avoid making the plugs/cords/internet box heat up. After all for most babies "out of sight is out of mind".

Hope something works for you soon because that is a really successful situation
