Spares the embarrassing looks and allows for the kids to make mistakes and grow in a healthy way.<BR/><BR/>I did something like this with my toddlers in that I didn't 100% toddler proof my house. I had a couple specific items (non-valuable, of course) that were "No touch" items. Any time they would go for it I was able to "train" them to ignore it and leave it alone.<BR/><BR/>They became familiar with the words "No touch" and understood it when it really mattered. I didn't have to go to excessive lengths to get them to listen to me.<BR/><BR/>I will admit at first it felt weird. I knew it would be hard to resist, and I questioned if I was setting them up to fail...but when I saw the fruit of it play out in the "real world" I new I was setting them up to learn and actually succeed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977510309451068854noreply@blogger.com
