My son does it too but hes 3 so its a diffrent story. You can tap his hand or something its not going to hurt him just startle him. But you say you pull his had away and he still does it, have you ever thought of taking him to a diffrent location in the room or house and giving him something he can do? And even if he goes back to the same thing later repeat and take him away, be consistant. At that age your just going to have to tell him 20 million times it takes a while to learn all the rules:)

No! is not USABLE INFORMATION. You have got to tell him WHAT TO DO. Try it and you will see. If he is touching something you don't want him to touch, you can say, "put your hands to your side and show him. Children don't know what to do so instead of saying NO all the time, try telling him what to do. I am a toddler and preschool teacher and this is how we were trained to work with toddlers.
You say you tell him off? Just remember what you give him he will send back our way and your not going to like it. Just because your the adult doesn't mean you have the right to tell him off. Its important you show him patience and self control at this early age so he can also be patient and is able to mange his feelings of frustration appropriately.
It helped me to take take child development classes. I have a credential in child development and continue to take classes to update myself. I am currently in a parenting class and I never stop learning and improving. I was raised with fear based discipline and I don't want to raise my children that way so I have to rewire and notice how I speak, react and work out problems when I'm stressed.
I wish you the best and hope you will take a parenting class at the community college. you will be amazed at the difference in your child'd behavior. You will meet other parents in the same situatin as you and you will see that your not the only one with the same issues. You will laugh and have fun. Then you will go home and try it on your toddler and you will have a more possitive relationship with him.

Well, at 15 months THEY don't know their behaviour is naughty - that's your adult perception.
Your child does not possess the ability to predict consequences nor does he possess any commonsense - that's why babies and toddlers seem to do silly or "naughty" things over and over.
He also has no concept of ownership; he just won't understand yet that certain things belong to certain people and aren't for him to touch. If it's a problem, then put the item/s out of his reach.

Some people don't believe in physical discipline but I do up until a certain point, maybe till the age 2 or 3 when they understand better. If he doesn't listen to you when you say NO then you may need to pop his hand that way he can associate NO with hurt. (until he understands otherwise ).
Imagine if he gets away and starts running in the street and you keep saying no but he doesn't listen. The worse could happen... or if he's about to touch something that could cause fatal damage.. He needs discipline at that age

i know most people would scream their heads off at what im about to say but it worked for me with my 2 year old.
grab his hand tap him lightly on it and say no if he still carries on doing what you said no to tap him on the hand again and say no then put him in his cot or bed which ever he is in now.
