discipline for a one year old

I was looking for advice/suggestions for appropriate discipline for my one year old when he gets into things he knows are off limits. He has started to look at me before he tries something and then continues to do it after I say no. Removing him for the area/situation isn't helping anymore because he is going right back to whatever he was doing. I really want to nip these habits in the butt and set up some good discipline he will be able to understand.

I pretty much did what Natasha did, if my son was doing something really naughty that he knew he wasn't allowed to do then I would tell him no in a very firm voice and if he went back to it or if he just ignored me then he would get a tap on the hand not really a smack just a light tap and I'd growl no at him again, my son is now 2 and I have never had to smack him or anything like that I just have to growl no at him and he almost always stops what his doing.

I just give my son a tap on the hand, say no very firmly and move him away. He is 15 months and knows exactly what he is allowed to touch and what he isn't. He has days where he tries me out and touches everything and does everything he isn't allowed to but i just stay consistent. I think that is the key don't give in, make your house rules and keep them. Your child will get the hang of it. good luck xoxo

At that age, he just isn't going to listen. The best advice I can give is to just keep saying no, move him then distract him. I know it's frustrating but he is still very young to understand and be able to control himself.
