Hello and welcome!These are a few of the things we tries with our two...
1) We blocked off a very small area and kept Ziva in that small space with her peepad, bed,toys and a few low beach chairs. She was not allowed free run for months. They get crazy when allowed to run wild!
2)Ziva was a bit of a biter. I always replaced our fingers or toes with a nylabone or fleece knotted strips. My daughter did flip her and "bite" her back, I think that helped get her attention.
3)A very sharp "eh-eh"and a bit of gentle restraint usually stops them for me, they didn't always listen to others. I've had lots of kids to practice on!
4) We still measure the food and offer it for 10-15 minutes . I usually make a chart when they are little.
5) We found using Cheerios (small round people cereal) worked with Abby. They sell toddler fruit and veggie puffs made out of OK ingredients.
Good Luck- the more time you invest at first the better behaved they are later.(with children too!) |
