[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.. I'm still reading and thanks for all the concrete advice. I realized some of my responses have probably been making things worse - the loud / stern nos, chasing him down for diaper/nap. He clearly finds them to be amusing and repeats the behavior.

The calm / redirect response takes a lot of patience, and so far hasn't worked that well for me either because he's still not getting the message "i'm not supposed to do x."  Like throwing food, either at the high chair or not - I've never scolded him other than a gentle "no" and I show him how I pick it up, sometimes I can get him to pick it up himself if he's not in the high chair. We must have repeated this hundreds of times since he started eating solids, but it has not decreased the frequency of food throwing.

[b]The high chair rejection I can probably be a little more consistent about, not give in so quickly and let him eat while running around. [/b]

I do notice he is especially "spirited" (since some PPs took issue with the word "naughty") around me. Much less physical mischief and laughing at the trouble he causes when he's around grandma (whom he sees at least twice a week, so she's not a total stranger). [/quote]

A little more consistent?  That will just confuse him, until he figures out that he can wear you down.

You need to be consistent,  OP.  You might want to start practicing now.

My SIL used to be like you.  Niece and nephew used to just keep doing what they wanted until she gave in.  They ate crackers while wandering around the house. Screamed and grabbed until she gave them a drink of her soda.  Played with ball point pens and drew all over her leather couch.  All easier than being consistent.   At 14, my niece loves Lululemon.   Now it's "No, K, I'm not spending that much."  Two weeks later K has exactly what she asked for.[/quote]
