I don't think she knows she's "Disobeying". And her tantrums thus far have been from frustration, not like, not getting her way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-start-misbehaving#post-2044437 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 19:28:46 +0000 Orchid 2044437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At almost 11 months, LO knows what "no" and "come" mean, and he sometimes tries to ignore those commands. So, 11 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-start-misbehaving#post-2044355 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 18:45:03 +0000 blackbird 2044355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around a year, I felt like she was deliberately testing us or doing things for attention. She's 21 months now and it certainly isn't recent behavior! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-start-misbehaving#post-2044343 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 18:35:56 +0000 looch 2044343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>18 months for my son and I was the beginning of a rough time for us. My son knew what he was doing from the day he was born, but I wasn't prepared for the deliberate, repeated offenses that were to come. I was always such a rule follower, from a very young age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-start-misbehaving#post-2044330 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 18:28:20 +0000 Skadi 2044330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 months is when I first heard her do a fake cry. I consider fake crying misbehaving because it's deliberately feigning distress in order to get attention. She's a year old now, and I often say, "No whining," and then ignore her until she stops.</p> <p>She understands what "no" means, so there are a couple of things that she'll try to touch or get into that I tell her, "No touch" and give her a stern look.</p> <p>To some degree, I think it's irrelevant whether she truly understands right from wrong or does something deliberately. I approach it from the perspective of training, not discipline. A dog doesn't understand the difference between right and wrong, but a dog can be trained to do all kinds of things through positive and negative conditioning. She might seem young, but she's already much, much smarter than even the smartest dog in the world, so I don't want to underestimate what she's capable of being taught. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-start-misbehaving#post-2044323 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 18:24:04 +0000 Mae 2044323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So it sounds like I have at least 7 or 8 more months before I really HAVE to get a job and get her into daycare where someone else can deal with her.... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-start-misbehaving#post-2044287 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:56:23 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2044287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In uteruo?</p> <p>I'd say by 18 months she was being defiant on purpose &amp; knew the difference between good/bad yes/no right/wrong on some basic, simple things. That's about when we started doing a one minute time out on the couch.</p> <p>Thought I also remember her being a little shit around 15 months too. She used to roll out all the toilet paper in the bathroom while I was on the toilet and laugh while I was stuck! So if you're ever at my house &amp; wonder why we have an entire sleeve of toilet paper in the bathroom, that's why! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-start-misbehaving#post-2044276 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:47:56 +0000 swurlygurl 2044276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Huh... I don't really feel like L is purposefully misbehaving. She throws tantrums, but that's just because she's a toddler. She does things she's not supposed to (take food out of her bowl and store it in her chair comes to mind right now) but I don't feel like she's intentionally doing it to misbehave. I imagine she's just like "oh hey, I hate lettuce, I'm going to take it out of my bowl and out of my sight" not "hmm I know I'm not supposed to do this, and Mommy's going to be really mad, but I'm going to do it anyway"</p> <p>Maybe I'm completely underestimating her?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-start-misbehaving#post-2044274 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:43:29 +0000 HLK208 2044274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, 20 months? But nothing that redirection couldn't change until now (just over 2.5). Now there is no way to redirect when she's hysterical for a half hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-start-misbehaving#post-2044272 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:40:11 +0000 shopaholic 2044272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think about 16 months she started knowing she was doing things she shouldn't and testing limits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-start-misbehaving#post-2044270 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:37:57 +0000 Maysprout 2044270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of mine around 14 to 15 months start throwing tantrums if they dont get their way, wanting independence at not ideal times and really testing limits. 15 months is my witching age. Theyre just little unreasonable people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-start-misbehaving#post-2044266 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:35:21 +0000 illumina 2044266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we are getting to this point now at 16 months...like she is really beginning to test out boundaries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-start-misbehaving#post-2044197 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 16:51:59 +0000 .twist. 2044197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L is 18 Months and he's only recently started to do things he knows he isn't allowed to do or testing his boundaries. </p> <p>The other day he put a piece of lego in his mouth and when I dug it out he bit me. I kind of cried out *OW* and he started to sob... haha That's about as naughty as he's been. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-start-misbehaving#post-2044195 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 16:51:28 +0000 LuLu Mom 2044195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There was a switch that happened overnight between 15 months and 16 months, it was so noticeable, but that's when I feel like she started to "break rules on purpose" an started tantrums/defiant behavior. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-start-misbehaving#post-2044194 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 16:50:20 +0000 Mae 2044194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious about what I have to look forward to :) </p> <p>LO is 8 mo and while she certainly gets into things she shouldn't, I don't really feel like she is misbehaving because she's just curious and doesn't understand what she should and should not do. I really have no clue when kids get old enough to understand right from wrong and choose to do wrong. </p> <p>So, when did your kid start misbehaving? </p>
