[quote=Anonymous]Lots of things can be taught at 12 months. Mostly by modeling what you want versus correcting what you don't want. We specifically taught our son about "hot" because he has a space heater in his room. We would pretend to put our hands near it and jerk them back, saying "hot, hot." This was around 9 months, and it was his first word shortly thereafter. If he went near it, we'd say "no, hot" and he totally got it. Our daycare provider also taught all of her babies to go down the stairs at 8 or 9 months by turning them at the top and having them back down. Throwing food was one of the first things we corrected by ending the meal if the throwing was deliberate, also around 1 year old. As mentioned by several others, it's just reinforcing good behavior and redirecting or stopping bad or dangerous behavior.[/quote]
