Collaborative post At some point, most parents experience the “moment.” You turn away from your toddler for just a second; you’re about to do something else, and then you hear the sound of your child heading directly for something they shouldn’t touch. Whether it’s the coffee table edge, the dog’s water bowl, or the glass vase (with candles) on the low shelf, the room erupts in a chorus of “no,” “stop,” and “not there.” This occurs so frequently that it becomes as if your primary function is to constantly redirect your child’s hands.
