I'm going through the exact same thing...My daughter who is 14 months is forever doing things i ask her thousands of times to stop. I feel all I ever say to her is "No" or "dont touch". Sometimes i think she touches or does things on purpose to annoy me as she just stares at me and does it again!
I'm actually getting sick of the word "no"-before I know it, it'll be the only word she will say, and by then i'll be at my wits end.....:-( So if you manage to find a solution or any advise I would greatly appreciate you letting me in on it.
thanx
No No No No No. Thats all i seem to say to my 14 month old daughter as well. She's into everything that she shouldn't be and i have to watch her constantly. It drives me mad. She even shakes her head now when i say no then smiles and does whatever she has been told no to again. I sure know how you feel hun. Amazingly all 3 posts or replies have been about GIRLS. Is there a connection lol. Something that does disturb me a little is that i'm teaching my daughter a word that she will be using all the time as she hears it so much and she'll be saying it not properly understanding it. Miss communication there will be.

My toddler is always touching the things she shouldn't, in the wrong cupboards, going through the bins, trying to climb into the bath.... etc etc etc. and all I seem to say to her is 'no' all the time. i try to distract her with toys and games and stuff but it only lasts for 2 mins until she's back trying to find trouble. I don't mind her being adventurous and exploirng but am I damaging her by saying no all the time - or is repeating it the only way for her to learn the meaning properly?
