I am in a slight bustle these days but I must get this on here. It isnt convenient to stick to a good writing regimen but I want to allow it to become disciplined. With a little luck down the road I will be able to post to this page even more often. Today I just want to display a fascinating article I found on table and chairs. It is a little useful.

Q&A:
Question by Mum to a great little guy: How to get my son to stop climbing on kitchen chairs and table?
I’m currently having a very rough patch in terms of disciplining my son.
I can’t even go to the bathroom by myself, because as soon as I leave the room, he climbs straight onto chairs and even the kitchen table. Obviously I don’t want him climbing for the obvious reasons of it being very dangerous.
I’ve tried to be consistent, pulling him down off the chairs, telling him that he shouldn’t be doing it because it is unsafe etc, and then distraction. When that didn’t work, I would explain what he did wrong, then put him in a time out, but I think that was a waste, and I just ended up with a screaming infant , then as soon as time out finished, he went straight back to trying to climb on these chairs.
I can be calm and direct about it, but the ONLY thing that stops him from doing it is his dad’s very firm “NO, GET AWAY FROM THE CHAIRS”.
It doesn’t scare him….but as soon as he hears it, he goes and plays with his toys, where as when I try, he just blatantly ignores me.
I get the impression I’m the pushover parent, he just never listens to my discipline, but always listens to his fathers.
What should I do??
He is 20 months I should add.
But if I let him play on our kitchen table, he’s going to get the impression that it is OK to play on other families’ table? He has already tried to climb others’ tables, and again the only thing that stops him is his fathers NO.
He’s fallen a few times, but it’s still a bit scary to leave him on a high table when I’ve left the room.
I guess my question is more related to “Why is my discipline not working, yet my partners is”, but answers are much appreciated!!
No, he is not 2. He is barely 1 and a half, not speaking full sentences, he does not understand that “beating his a$ $ ” is discipline.
The dollars signs really add class, might I add.

Answer by Stacey
I have the same problem. I never had it with my oldest daughter, my youngest little girl is a climber and loves to climb on everything, including the dining room chairs & table. So I had to flip the chairs over on one another and stack them up so she couldn’t climb on them. I only take them down when it’s time to eat. Eventually I’ll take them down and if she doesn’t it again, I’ll put them back up.
It’s a hassel, but at least she’s staying safe and not falling off and cracking her head open!
