I asked this question a while ago, and totally phrased it wrong and got very rude answers, so rephrased:
My son is 17 months old. He is very active, happy, and healthy. He eats well, plays well alone and with others, etc. Lately, he has been getting into things he already knew not to, such as trying to stick things in electrical sockets after finding out how to remove the safety covers, which is scary and i do not want him to be electrocuted. He is persistent on playing with them, and has gotten far enough as to be able to unplug and plug in lamps, etc. We have tried every discipline, such as time out on the couch, slap on the hand, talking, etc. everything! Finally when i saw a spark one time, i put him in time out, but in his room and shut the door for 1-2 minutes because he just talks and laughs if the door is open, and forgets what he did wrong. So after a couple minutes, I bring him out, give him lots of love and repoint out what he did wrong. Since i did that 2 times,
