@drdeborahparenting: If a child keeps putting art supplies in their mouth, it’s not because they didn’t hear you. It’s because nothing changed. Repeating “keep that out of your mouth” without action leaves access open. And open access makes unsafe behavior repeatable. The fix is simple. Install the rule before art time starts. Art stays on the table. If it goes in the mouth, art time is done. The first time it happens, calmly remove the materials. No warnings. No lectures. Then state the cause and effect and move on. Children don’t stop behavior because it’s named. They stop when access is controlled.
