followed by a mean look
the people that I babysit for (BMW, Mercedes drivers)
have a 3 yr old and when they say 'No'
he stops, smiles, and does it again
finally, after the 5th 'No'
they resort to yelling and screaming at him

I'm not saying you shouldn't explain consequences and what not at AN APPROPRIATE TIME. But kids that little, with the attention span of an ant, are only going to respond to a few words. You would laugh your ass off if you heard the parents...its like a showcase of all the words they learned in college. "Do not undermind me Kenneth! Jamie this rampage is giving me heart palpitations, I swear to God..." It just cracks me up to hear a kid retort "I think not, Mom" when he's 3 and doesn't even know what it means.
