Anything that they shoudnt have a just keep saying no and he EVENTALLY gets the point (unless its dangeous then it put out of reach) I did try swatting on the hand for a little while but he didnt respond to that sort of dicipline but most things like dvds and stuff like that he can go for his life.

the only thing i actually childproofed was the outlet plugs...my son gets into the dvds, my pots and pans in the kitchen, puts his hand in the dog water bowl, tries to put his hand in the trash...i think its funny..and he`s not getting hurt or hurting anything so i allow it but i will redirect him to his toys....

I`m not childproofing anything. He can play with pretty much anything. Obviously not the cleaning supplies or sharp things. If he finds something that I end up not wanting him to play with, I tell him no, that`s not for playing or no, that will hurt you, and give him something else.

The only things that are `childproofed` are the cabinets that hold chemicals and there is a baby gate at the top of the stairs. Anna LOVES the pots and pans cabinet! If she is getting into something that I would prefer she didn`t, I tell her NO and I try to redirect her. Especially at 8 months or so... she was REALLY into exploring!

I too do a lot of the things you mention. I let my kids explore and learn but things that can be ruined or they shouldn`t be into i with say no and `swat` there hand (or mouth if they are putting it in there mouth). I will then also re-direct them to a toy, book, or food. I want my kids to know there limitations and behave but i also want them to learn things on there own (like don`t stand on the couch or you will fall, my 14 mo learned that lesson this morning!)
