RobinG (831.8 days ago) Like everything else kids do that they arent supposed to do, a very firm NO and open it up and remove her from the spot. Windows can have a jam place in to keep it from being lowered. Doors have small cushion things that can be placed so they arent shut tight too. It may take sometime but be firm and eventually she will get it. My kids were never allowed to close doors. Even now at 9 and 14 they must play with doors open, for safety reason so I can hear them and avoid hands any small hands from getting shut in doors. Try a door jam too that keeps it from moving. Telling her firmly NO and not allowing her to do is ok. for safety reasons it isnt ok, esp if she has other kids around her at times. I have seen way to may hands shut in doors and windows are not things she should touch for safety reasons. Dont feel you are punishing her, it is def ok to not allow it. EditDelete
Lilmissesmum- (831.8 days ago) I have tried to get her to play with something else, I have tried to encourage her to open the doors herself after closing them, I have tried closing the curtains so she can`t see that the door is open (She just plays in the curtains) I don`t think punishments for this behaviour is called for because she isn`t really doing anything wrong and she opens and closes the cupboards in the kitchen and I don`t want her to think that it is wrong. I have been thinking of jamming something under the doors so they don`t close but I am scared she might hurt herself. EditDelete
