For food on the floor, we showed him how to clean up and he would help us pick up the food and throw it away in the trash. We also taught him that if he didn't want it, he was to hand it back to us. For throwing we were just firm and took toys away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/such-a-naughty-girl-at-14-months#post-469108 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:47:21 +0000 T.H.O.U. 469108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: It does sound very similar! It is so tiring trying to discipline her all the time! I miss my sweet baby that cried but never got in trouble. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/such-a-naughty-girl-at-14-months#post-468948 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 14:37:21 +0000 polkadots 468948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our Dr. Suggested starting time outs at 15 months. We started just a few days ago and I think she is already learning from it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/such-a-naughty-girl-at-14-months#post-468923 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 14:22:18 +0000 StbHisMrs 468923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: I wonder if we have twins? They sound so much alike ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/such-a-naughty-girl-at-14-months#post-468218 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 07:30:10 +0000 T.H.O.U. 468218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: We are dealing with a lot of the same behavior. Right now she really doesn't understand consequences too well. If she throws or hits a toy, we will tell her no. If she does it again, we say no and redirect her, if she still goes back and does it a third time, the toy goes in time out. For us, the toy in "timeout" really just gets taken away since she doesn't understand timeout. We put the toy in a back bedroom and shut the door. She usually gets upset and then goes to play nicely with something else. </p> <p>For the food, over the holidays my mom saw how bad it really was getting. We are going to try to feed her larger meals where she is really hungry. If she says she is all done then she will get down immediately. If she throws her plate she gets down immediately. We are also going to work on not letting her "beg" when she gets down. I swear she is worse than our dog about coming back up to us at the table and asking for more food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/such-a-naughty-girl-at-14-months#post-468151 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 01:29:49 +0000 StbHisMrs 468151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: how do you make such a young one understand their toys are in timeout? I had read that blog post a while back and loved it, I'll be checking that book put.<br /> @brownie: i should more often I suppose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/such-a-naughty-girl-at-14-months#post-467974 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 23:03:27 +0000 brownie 467974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started timeouts with our little guy at 1. </p> <p>For food, I would definitely take the food away. My friend would turn her daughter around in the highchair.</p> <p>We also did some natural consequences, such as making him pick up the food after throwing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/such-a-naughty-girl-at-14-months#post-467904 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:27:00 +0000 mrbee 467904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you guys had luck with letting your LO experience the natural consequences of their actions? I love it... one of the best tips from this parenting book:<br /> <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/06/26/the-best-parenting-book-ive-ever-read/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/06/26/the-best-parenting-book-ive-ever-read/</a></p> <p>I also like to put their toys into timeout, which works way better than I would have thought! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/such-a-naughty-girl-at-14-months#post-467899 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:23:47 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 467899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Firm and consistent with real consequences such as time out have gotten us through most rough patches. Even little slaps will teach them that hitting is ok, though... so I'd avoid that if you could :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/such-a-naughty-girl-at-14-months#post-467889 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:21:36 +0000 autumnlove 467889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO throws food too! :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/such-a-naughty-girl-at-14-months#post-467792 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 21:58:29 +0000 StbHisMrs 467792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo is becoming a very naughty girl, even talking back! She learned to hit from the baby-sitters daughter, she now smacks you in the face for no reason. She gave my 10 year old son a black eye with her toy (she felt bad, cried and patted him). She throws all her food on the floor when she's done. We've tried firmly telling her no, which she now says back to you while shaking her head. Tried slapping her hand, that doesn't work. I've tried taking her plate away before she can throw her food down, but she begs for food off your plate or insists to have her spoon or fork.</p> <p>Don't get me wrong, she's not always naughty, she does the sweetest things too :) </p>
