How to 'discipline' a 13mo

6 replies

My DS is getting rather boisterous. He is constantly pulling on our tv speaker etc and if we say no, even sternly, or move him away, he laughs like its the best game ever. We are getting concerned he doesnt understand 'no' although he does stay clear of all things that are 'hot'

Advice please?

You can't discipline at that age. Just say no in a neutral, not angry, voice and distract him or take him elsewhere. It is probably just an attention seeking thing, so give some attention e.g. "let's read a story" or whatever he likes to do.

Distraction every time. Rinse and repeat.

Discipline is a strong word for a baby.
Scoop him up,with a firm no and move onto,something else.
Don’t laugh at his antics as it rewards the behaviour.

Thanks. I did put it as 'discipline' as I am aware its not really doable at this age but I dont want to set ourselves up for trouble later down the line. Its more do for his safety atm as opposed to him being naughty iyswim

You put the TV speaker out of reach.

Agree with others - move dangerous things out of reach and distract, distract, distract!
