Squeaky toys can be an excellent way of diverting her attention away from unwanted behavior, and starting a game of play. Be sure she has lots of chew toys & offer them as an alternative to feet & hands. Saying 'ah ah' in a corrective voice when she's doing something you don't want. Oh geez... I couldn't begin to count how many times I said that in her early months. It paid off though. Now I can whisper it very quietly & she will stop whatever it is I don't want. luv it! Be consistant & patient! Teach her well now, and you can relax more & enjoy her as she gets older. Good luck! |
