rules?
When should you start having consequences for breaking the rules or not obeying? My daughter is 13 months old, and I need her to learn some rules, but don't know how responsive she would be to discipline besides telling her no and redirecting, which isn't working to well anymore.
On a side note, she's so silly! She eats (clean) wipes and hangs anything she cam from her bottom teeth, Lol.

I did a little experiment today with the "no" thing. We were at a friend's house, and when Mia would get into something that she didn't need to be playing with, I let my friend tell her no.. and low and behold, it only took one or two times of no and redirecting to get her to leave it alone. Sooo.. she's not listening to ME. I try to let her explore as much as possible at home, there's just a few things that I would like for her to leave alone. When she gets into something she's not supposed to and I tell her no and redirect, she goes right back to it! Even if I pop her, she does her little crying and I let her sit in my lap and tell her why she got in trouble (even tho I know she doesn't understand that part, Lol), and when I put her down she goes right back to it! I guess I need to be more consistent, because that's the only thing I can see I'm doing wrong. Unless she's just going to be a hard headed one... lovely.
