word means when it is followed up with some sort of action, such as removing the child from the situation. With very young children a better technique is to pick
up the child and take him away from the item not to be touched or the situation where the unwanted behavior is occurring. Watch the little ones face when she
is told, "no, dont touch that." She will often look at the adult with hand extended toward the object and her eyes are looking at you with a bit of
a challenge in them. This very young person has already learned that the adult may not really mean "no" or maybe the little person is challenging the adult. This is
a moment of power, the will of the minds: the adult vs. the baby. It turns into a loss for everyone if the adult stands or sits there just
waiting to see what the little one will do; that is like testing the degree of power you have over this little child. A better idea is to say, "no,
that could break," pick up the child and redirect his or her attention to something else. The very best idea is to remove all breakable objects or any object you
dont want the child to touch. By the time a child is two years old, they have heard the word so much,
