I feel really silly asking any in real life about it as it seems like a silly question but what sort of boundaries should I be setting for my 18 month old?
Is is only safety rules like not running near roads, not touching power sockets, no playing with cords etc.
I also remove him when he hurts others and tell him no.
Or should I be setting boundaries like manners (he doesn't say anything yet but should I model/speak for him 'please' 'thankyou', not breaking toys/books, eating nicely (not throwing cup/food). If so how do you enforce these sorts of boundaries?
At what age would he be ready for time outs?
