My son is almost 10 months, but extremely strong willed. He knows what I mean by No, Stop, Hon that's not a toy, and will listen sometimes. But not always.<br><br>
I've tried distracting him, moving the object, moving him, talking to him calmly, saying No, looking at him strongly etc. I've worked in a preschool that used the gentle discipline model so I'm aware of all the things I can do, but I'm at my wits end.<br><br>
Here's an example. We have a radio on the room floor due to lack of space (we will be getting something smaller eventually that can be put up) and my son is constantly going for it if it's on the floor. He bangs on it, removes the CD and chews on it. I have repeatedly said no, moved it, explained to him in short words that it's not a toy, tried to distract him but he's always going for it and it I move it up on the bed he throws a royal fit.<br><br>
Help me, please.
