[blparent] the meaning of no

[Kate McEachern]

I don't know if she's at an age to truly understand no.  But maybe as a 
suggestion you could get one of those innerlocking fence systems that are 
sold at Babiesrus and toysrus.  I had one for boeth my girls and though it 
didn't teach the word "no", I had peace of mind that my babies were safe 
till I could take them out and give attention using "no" when needed but not 
spending all day running and saying "no".

Hope this helps.
Katie
