Not sure why this is in the singles & dating section :P ... But... to the question, your 10 month old is testing the waters, and could possibly think this "no" thing is a game. You know the "actions speak louder than words" saying, well it goes a long way here as well. With a 10 month old, you should be saying "no" but removing them from the hurtful situation saying that "you're going to get hurt" and mean it. Often parents smile when saying no, and laugh it off, be serious with them, I am not saying scream, just speak firmly. Let them know where they should play, and also try and create a child friendly environment, this will try and curb some of these moments, but doesn't matter how padded the room is, you're still going to come across them!
Good luck!

of course he doesn't understand yet, come on he's just 10 months old!! and he will be like that until he is almost 2 years old. because that's the time where the logical part of his brain starts to develop.
the best you can do is to make sure you are always there to tell him what is wrong and right. eventually, he will start to understand and stop doing it.
be patient, i bet you were also like that when you're his age. or maybe even worse. ask your mom.

Um...hes 10 months old you say? Are you kidding me? Hes still a very young child, you need to spank him if he does it again. Then he will understand the meaning of no! Dont just tell him no...he DOESNT understand its meaning yet. Give him consequences for the word no and he will quickly, after a few times, learn that NO means no.
I assume you are a first time parent...kids take time to learn! Hes still very young.

HE'S A BABY! They don't understand yet. If he touches something you don't want him to touch, remove him from the situation. He doesn't understand you. If he did, he would be speaking in sentences. He laughs because he thinks your reaction is funny. He may do it again because he thinks it was funny. I strongly suggest you read some child development books.

I think that is perfectly normal for that age. My pediatritian told me that all I could really do was to just keep saying "no" and moving him away from what he was touching. Use a stern, but not a scary voice. When he gets closer to a year old, then start using time out for one minute. Good luck.

Right now he is to little. You need to understand that it takes time to understand what Mommy and Daddy mean by "no". Keep reinforcing it and redirect him. I have a 18 month old and I am still doing this with him. Just stay calm and patient with him. He'll get it one day.

If he's 10 months old he doesnt understand the concept of what is right or wrong. People actually arn't completly aware of what they do until they are 3 years old.

He's still young so it's harder to set up a basic set of rules. Just prevent him from touching that thing (grab his hand, pull him away from whatever it is and be sure to firmly tell him no... not just "please don't do that, mommy doesn't want you to...." it might sound nice, but it's not going to get the point across). Good luck.

He may NOT understand what you are telling him, but... you need to stand your ground.. just please don't yell at him. He is way to young to understand yelling and screamin... Just tell him in a firm but loving tone "no" And then redirect that energy into something that he can do. Tell him...Here, son, play with this, it is "your" toy or book or what ever. Good luck and I hope this helps, Bitty
