sorry mama, pull out the hair dye!! Ihave a 2 year old and discovered 3 grey hairs this morning!!!
I just use NO in a very firm tone. My son goes to daycare 3 days a week, and the daycare lady uses "that is not acceptable behaviour" in a very firm tone. I used it, it worked!! If everyone is on the same page, it shouldn't take long for no to be understood
Redirection, they redirect so easily at that age.
well, even though it feels like you are constantly saying no, its really the only way to get across your message, she isnt old enough to understand why you say no, just that you want her not to do it, which makes it more tempting. so just press on she'll get it.

Explain to her why she shouldn't be doing the things you do not want her doing. If she continues to do it put her in a time out, 1 minute per year of age, so about 1 1/2 minutes a time for her. Eventually she will understand but you have to show her that you are the parent and you have rules. Just do it in as loving a way as possible. Also everytime you talk to her get down at her level.

I read in this book that the word "NO" is a word that should not be taught to a child too young. But ofcourse we all know children tend to get into EVERYTHING!! So how do they expect to disapline our kids? Here was a helpful hint...tell your child "no" in a different lauguage but be FIRM!

Try that and see how it works out...
Depends on what she's doing that you want her to stop. If it's something like running in the house, say "Use your walking feet." We have a rule in our house that the edge of the fireplace is for "Bottoms Only", of course when there is a fire going, it's no bottoms at all. My point is, try to think of a way to phrase your "no" so that it sounds like something positive. "Jumping is for the floor", "Use your inside voice", etc. It's still a direction for her and is said in a convincing tone, but it doesn't sound as harsh as "no" all the time. But, sometimes, no matter what you try, a good firm No is what works.
