ARGH!!
my daughter is 9 months old and into everything that isnt hers.. she is really driving me mad!! i love her to pieces but she wont accept NO and has a paddy when she is told off.. do you think im being harsh telling her off?? she needs to learn when she isnt allowed something and trying to keep everything out of her reach is really hard.. y is it they want everything that isnt theirs she has all these wonderfull toys to play with but wud rather have a candle or a newspaper.. in fact anything she knows she shudnt have.. im at my wits end with her.. i know you cant expect a 9 month old baby to understand the word no.. does any one have any tips on how to help her understand when she is doing wrong?
any advice would be very much appriciated...

we did this with Joshua and he learnt what he was allowed and what he wasn't quite quickly. You have to be consistant tho and keep doing it or it wont work!
Good Luck xx
So as a baby she was fantastic and very tidy as she had to put all the things back into the cupboard or on her shelf...now as a teenager I cannot even see her carpet...oh well !!!
I can't put her pushchair too close to anything as she will drag things off shelves.
If I say no or move her away or take anything off her she screams (the loudest pitch ever) and throws a complete hissy fit.
I keep reminding myself that she doesn't understand yet but it is hard to stay strong and not give in and hand back whatever it is.
I think it very important to be consistent as my friend has 2 daughters who know that 'no' doesn't mean 'no' as she'll say it a few times then give up & laugh letting her daughters carry on doing whatever they are doing that they shouldn't! Very annoying.
My mum said no & I knew it meant no!
Atleast they know their boundaries if you are consistent.
I joke I'm going to get a whistle & turn us into the Von Trapp family! lol!
