Poll: What is your most effective method of toddler...

Comments:

If I say to my son or daughter leave it they stop doing what ever it is they are doing, I have no idea why this works for them but it does.

it depends on what they are doing

Me too. I just say, don't touch, it's hot, it's dirty, what did I say, put it back, or I give them the look and the point and it works wonders. I too have no idea why this works for them. I think it is the leverage the God gives us to keep them safe. We obviously loose that leverage when they become a teenager.

my son will be one next week and for the most part a simple no or don't touch works, but if he consistantly goes at whatever it is I'll give him a tap on the hand just enough to let him know I'm serious because he seems to think its funny when I say no.

I think all of the above, it just depends on what is best for you and your child
