Every parent knows what I am talking about and if you don't let me tell you what it means when a child tests there limits or bounders. A good example would be a two year old being told not to touch something and then with a mischievous smile they slowly reach out their hand to touch again. So you say "don't touch or you'll get a time out" and then... They touch it!! At this point you need to follow through with your threat just like in the earlier post rewards and threats you need to follow through. All children will test their limits at different points in their life 2 year old test a lo and if you want to prevent the future testing to be less and safer you need to nip it in the butt at an early age. They will most likely test when they start school also. They also test when things change in their lives such as a new home, nanny or parents marital or dating status.
Every time they test you want them to fail and you to pass.
Remember ***you want to teach and train them not them training and teaching you***.
You are never to busy to handle a small situation with your children. Make time to help your children learn there are limits. They will be safer and more respectful because of this lesson.
