actually i agree with you a one year old can be naughty. So don't listen to them who are saying otherwise. My youngest is 14 months, and he is allways looking for trouble. He knows exactly what he is doing, and laughs when he does something he knows I would tell him off for. He opens a cupboard and then looks at me and laughs. We bought cupboard locks, but he pulled the doors so hard they broke. He does respond to being told no very harshly, and then the naughty corner actually does work for a few minuites. I tell him off, and send him to the hallway, then he sits and sulks in the corner for a few minuites, but then he does come back and start looking for trouble again. I am dreading the terrible two's!! He is my third child and neither of my other two were this bad at his age. They must be teaching him early for me!! Good luck to you and to me too!!

A 1 year old needs guidance and patience. They have no badness in them - natural curiosity is all they have. They don't mean to pull the photos etc off the unit - everything is new to them and the only way the will find out what it is is by going for it! The don't know a knife is sharp so keep things out of reach and so on.
Make sure that there are lots of child friendly things around and anything precious should be put away till you are sure the child will not interfere any more. But don't put out so many things that the child is overwhelmed and spoilt for choice. Little at a time is better then they can concentrate longer without other things taking their attention away. Make tidying up one game before taking out another into part of the game. If something is getting thrown they say 'no - no throwing' or 'that's not what you do. See - this is how to play with it' and if the throwing continues then just take it away and focus the attention on something else. Children that age are easily distracted!
The child needs a lot of interaction from you - so this means a lot of play, talking, and singing (children LOVE music and it's proven to be a great relaxant - assuming you pick the right music!)Teach by example and guide with a gentle but firm hand.
Get outside as much as you can and use the outdoors for making noise and the fresh air will help tire out the child. It's also just great to get out in the fresh air!
Don't use the TV as a baby sitter - your interaction with the child is what will help develop good social skills, manners and conversation so do as much while you can now as the child will learn more from you than you can imagine - and that includes negative behaviour from you too. A calm, well behaved parent will generally produce a calm, well behaved child.

One year olds are not naughty, just becoming aware of their "self". Just wait until he/she gets to two! Generally speaking it's not possible to reason with a child of that age. Just keep calm (if you can!) and remember you are in control! Take a few deep breaths & stay cool!

At this age it's easier to prevent trouble. I'd use baby gates and keep him in a room that is safe for him. With supervison of course. I don't have little ones anymore but when I babysat a 1 yr old I kept her in the living room which was pretty safe with baby gates so she couldn't escape. I stayed in the room with her.
I only kept stuff out that he could play with. If she touched the tv buttons or whatever I'd say no and tap her hand. She was pretty good about not messing with stuff.

You Can't- at one they are curious, full of fun and what to learn/explore it all. I would suggest a mother's day out program or a good child care play where they do educational activties besides toys on the floor and you can get some free time to recharge yourself.

Stern voice,(try not to yell, just clear & stern)
dont back down from what you say or mean.
Time outs, hand smacks, spankings
( Note: these smacks and spankings do NOT need to be hard, the child will be just as hurt by a tap from there parents because of there love for you, just remember they can be an out of control brat if you do not discipline, )
Also if the child is still in diapers or potty training diapers then you will be spanking with cushion (does Not mean spank harder) just if after a while it wears off and doesnt work, give them a spank on the leg,
also just clapping your hands behind them can scare them. But you might need to clap and say NO! continue that is bad we dont do that, bad name.
You must show you disapprove of what they do wrong (even if it is cute) seeing you smile encourages them to do it again, but if you frown and look mad they see this is not the good side to be on.

children aren't naughty at 1 year old, they're just curious. baby proof your house and then let them explore. it's their way of learning.
