How does your LO respond to no?

deedee1017

DD must think it's a funny word.  It always makes her laugh.  Sometimes, she'll look us dead in the eyes and shake her head no with us.  [-(

tashad18

LO used to cry but now he looks at me and laughs hysterically!

PinkDahLia44

DS looks at me and slowly returns to what he was doing anyway.

txmom13

She keeps on doing what she was doing most of the time. Sometimes she just stops and cries this sad little cry like her whole world just stopped turning and I can't help but laugh. It doesn't last long and then she finds something else to do.

Same! He giggles like a maniac. 

LOL they're so silly, aren't they?

DS most definitely knows what it means... depends on what he's doing as to whether or not he stops and listens. Usually he looks at us and starts crying crocodile tears for a bit, then realizes he's not going to get what he wants and redirects his attention. We laugh that he's trying to use his charm already. 

ballygirl

No reaction unless I physically stop her from whatever she is doing and then the reaction ranges from nothing to fill blown tantrum (usually when food is involved)

WhenInRome11

She thinks no is the funniest word ever, even when I use my teacher voice. I'm in big trouble.

edaire

A full on hissy fit. He definitely knows what it means.

Your reply coupled with your siggy gave me a funny visual.

elllaf

He acts all startled and looks around to me and then gives me a slow, sly little smile and then reaches out to whatever he's not supposed to be touching...

Something liiiike this:

PixiesDust

No usually makes her at least pause.  She will sometimes stop whatever she is doing and redirect, but often she will just continue on

shelley1002

It makes him pause for a bit.  His reactions vary from keep doing what he was, redirecting, crying, laughing.

chelseyestelle

He shakes his head and me and says no no no. Then he laughs.

jnsmith85

Smiles and continues to do whatever it is he is doing!

mancila60

Ethan smiles at me like I just said the funniest thing in the world. He will laugh. If I swat his hand away from something he does the same thing. If H says no then it seems to do more good.

Foofie&thebean

She's a pro at the fat lip. Usually she looks at me with these sad eyes and her bottom lip stuck out. I have to remind myself to stay strong!

This exactly.

lefnc82

Mostly ignores it, sometimes DH gets just the right tone and he will start to cry. But mainly just stares at you for a second and keeps doing whatever he was doing.

skyla13

Generally, "uh huh, yeah, whatever Mom" ... Infuriating and funny at the same time.

taylormarie923

Absolutely nothing. I might as well be saying xylophone.

SHAWNACPA

She laughs like it is the funniest thing ever. If we physically remove her or make her stop, she still laughs like it is the most fun game you could ever play...

Teresa1489

She looks at me and then slowly smiles to get me to smile at her! Stinker!

pmarie33

It depends on my tone.  Usually he just laughs at me.

nepatsgal

He's a pretty good listener. Sometimes he'll cry his sad fake tears and then finds a toy to play with. He now knows he is not allowed to go into the kitchen. He stops right at the entry way and waits for us to come back into the living room.

carawasa

I try to say no no Emma, but she doesn't get that. When I say no! She will back away sit down and look at me like "I wasn't doing anything" and then comes the tears

Ajoyd

Usually he looks at me like he's seriously considering not doing what I've said no to and then goes right back to doing it/trying to do it.

jennlin

we don't use the word no...we say things like "not right now", "you're going to hurt yourself/mommy", "that's not nice" "let's try this instead" ....etc.

Thanks for posting that! I was trying to figure out things to say but feel like a long sentence is way too wordy for her to understand. When she pulls my hair I say do nice and she gets that..

bkeane619

Skye listens better to no than O.

layali

He usually grins and flashes dimples. If I follow it up with removing whatever is triggering the "no" (barstool, my hair, etc) there are tears and wails.

MangoMama82

Should he respond to it?? I'm starting to panic the same way I did when I read a post that someone's O13 baby uses a spoon already. My baby is pretty much like



Until I pick him up.

cvjoyner

Sometimes she'll lay her head down, other times she'll pitch a little fit, and then there's times she'll just keep doing wha she wants.

ajjf1026

It depends. He either smiles or cries.

cassey910

DS use to laugh or smile when we said it. Now he looks up and continues with what he was doing.

WhenInRome11

I just realized that she responds better to "leave it" than "no" because that's what we say to the dog.

#babiesarenotdogs

#orarethey

emmylou78

She usually pauses.  That buys me enough time to move her away from whatever it is, or remove whatever I don't want her to have.

KerCo51

She stops...  laughs...  and contiues what she is doing
