Nope. This is wild for me to hear. You should never just say “no” this is true, you say no with an explanation. They do not need to break the glass to learn it will break lol.

The stopping her from pouring Coke in a rug is also teaching. It’s teaching boundaries. They can learn both.

It’s okay for your child to hear “no!” This is something you do outside.

That’s wrong! It’s very important to teach them boundaries from a young age

Take a Stand-Speak Your Truth :
I think there’s a balance. The whys can be answered over time. Everything doesn’t have to be learned every moment. It’s important for a child to also learn to have faith in the instructions of a parent as much as it is important to explore & experiment. Learning that Coke zero will turn a white carpet brown isn’t a lesson that has to be learned on impulse with the consequence of mom dropping everything & cleaning it up so it doesn’t stain. It’s equally important to not be too reactive when spills happen of course, which can be hard when you’re exhausted. So the child can learn how things work when they have ideas to test, they can learn when parents set up Coke Zero pouring vs water experiment, and they can learn that it’s important to follow parent’s instructions even when you don’t know why yet. All 3 have value.

Also if you create boundaries for children (everything at their height is for them, while you have your own areas) gives them autonomy while also learning about being in a community. Not every item is for us to touch.

It’s called learning boundaries and rules. Yes you can dump over the water no you can’t dump over the Coke Zero. It’s pretty damn simple

Kids need to learn boundaries. There is a balance. You can expose them to things they don’t understand yet because soon enough they will. As a parent this is the job.

In Scotland we call it Skiddling and all kids do it. We fill up the sink and let them play with cups in it. Or fill up tubs and let them do it.

I think this is very interesting and I love that you guys are so supportive of her thought processes. It takes so much energy and patience!! I believe there’s definitely a balance between learning how things work and learning that when mom and dad don’t allow it, that’s just what it is. Even if it’s momentarily confusing. The more she learns to verbally communicate and reason things, the easier it gets. And it comes quickly!!

My daughter is 20 months and I realized she stopped playing with the dog water bowl. We stopped moving it and just let her play in it (or gave her her own bowl of water) and now she’s over it and doesn’t care! She needed to learn what it was

Their play is their “work”! Just like we have jobs, that is theirs. It’s also excellent for their concepts of cause and effect, consequence, boundaries, tenacity- the list goes on!

If you explain it enough it's not confusing to them. Kids pick up fast.

My Grandma had the most genius way to handle this in general. She said clean your home the way you ultimately want it. Take the entire day and sweetly follow Tate and when she goes for something she shouldn’t touch gently say no Moms or no Dads. Give her one of her toys and say Tates. All of us did it. It works. It doesn’t stop her fun or exploration it will help her understand her environment. Make her a Tate spot for her water pours…there is no need to destroy your home. The smarter kids understand queues not confusion. 🩷💚🩷

The book “A Moving child is a Learning Child” is a really great text to have around!

Give her measuring cups and spoons, I know she is little, but it introduces them to measuring things.
