Maybe use an old outlet, cut the chords from it and paint it bright colours so he doesn’t mistake a extension chord for a “safe plug” because he -

you don't sound frustrated at all. you sound concerned and firm. you are trying to help him understand why it is dangerous #bestmom

lol did he just say "but i am big now"

2021-11-21

I know some people think this will only encourage him more but that’s not the case, it’s simply redirection the behavior in a safe & acceptable way

2021-11-21

He doesn’t have the capacity to understand why that particular plug is safe and the other one is not. This is an accident waiting to happen 🥺

2021-11-21

“But I’m big now” mans is not even on his second year

2021-11-21

His little k when u said that is not safe was cute

2021-11-21

Yeah idk, kind of hard for him to tell at that age if it’s plugged into the wall or if it’s safe. Doesn’t seem like a good idea

it blows my mind that she literally says that both boys were able to figure out the difference and ppl are still like "ThEy CaNt TeLl ThE dIfFeReNcE"

2021-11-21

Bro 😂 🤣

2021-11-25

That’s still encouraging the plug in behavior

2021-11-21

Uh- tells him not to play with cords, gives him cords and expects him to tell the difference between a plugged in one …

2021-11-22

Yeah no ….don’t say don’t touch the plug on the walls and then give him another outlet. He won’t understand when it is or isn’t plugged in.

2021-11-23

You should still have the safety plugs for something like that though. They are still kids. Just because you “redirect” them doesn’t mean they won’t

2021-11-21

I think this is encouraging him to play with cords.. if he wants to “plug things in” get him a peg board or something similar for fine motor skills

2021-11-21

Look like drake

2021-12-16

Why not just teach him that they aren’t meant to play with?

2021-11-21

Back when I was a kid I just got zapped😂 ever since then I’ve been really careful. Lol but your such a good mom. Taking future notes

2021-11-25

yup. my son has his own play plug he gets to use. he doesn't touch the wall outlets. seems to work.
