teaching a toddler no?

Question

Any parents who know the best way to teach a 14 month old the word " no " or "dont touch"

Answer 1

I agree with most of the answers given so far. Reinforcement is a big one, stay consistent, redirect, Boundaries from a young age, and there is nothing wrong with a tap on the hand(as a last resort.) when telling them no, just don't be too aggressive.
Don't move everything out of their reach because then they don't really know boundaries. Teach them from a young age(6months) what is ok to play with and what isn't. Don't always say no. Use phrases like "Honey that will hurt you", "Let's find one of "tommys" toys to play with", or in instances of hitting etc..., say "I bet Sally hurts now, lets give her a kiss and make her feel better." It really does work. My twins are so loving to each other, they look at me waiting for a response when they know they aren't to be by the t.v.(which is at their reach) as well as all of our knick- knacks. But they don't touch them and we have never had a broken one.

Answer 2

My 16 month old responds to NO pretty well. When it's something hurtful, like biting, hiting etc, I use my pointy mom finger and say "NO! We don't hit, bite etc" Sometimes I will tap his offending hand with my pointy finger to drive the point home that, this is the thing that was wrong.

But it's hard. Jack loves to hit the TV with anything hard he can get his hands on. He loves that banging sound. So, I take the toy away and say, "We don't hit!"
I have picked that as my rule that I stick with because it's the thing he does the most often.

But, you should look to his behavior and decide what the number 1 thing you would like to fix is....and focus on it.
You do have to use your mommy voice to correct a bad behavior. If he thinks you aren't really mad, he will continue to do it just for attention. You must make the point that you are unhappy.
Don't cuddle him if he gives you crocodile tears or fusses. Just walk away.

Good luck!~

Show no excitement when you say it, dont say NO or NOOOO, say a quiet, firm 'no'. The more energy you use, the more attention they get.
When mine dont listen I have been known to tap them on the hand, but by tap I really do mean tap.
As soon as you say no, show them something they can do. It works better in a toddlers mind if they have an alternative.

Answer 5

Just use the same phrase over and over and over again, reinforcing it by physically removing him from whatever it is.

Worked for my monster now 18 months - he knows what Come Away means!!

Answer 6

Repetition while removing him from the situation. If you keep saying NO and DON'T TOUCH and then pull his hand away or slap it, he will pick up on it very quickly.

Answer 7

Repetition....say it enough and they may not listen, in fact, they probably won't...but they sure will learn to say it!!! You can try the slight slap of the hand,,,but some think it's barbaric!!

Answer 8

Keep using the words when they're appropriate, and try not to scream "NO!!" all the time. When you overuse it, he'll just tune you out.

Answer 9

When they do not do something when you say no give them a treat and they will stop doing stuff with no just do not hit your child

Answer 10
