Don't pull it all out now. You'll need it for when they are teenagers.

Two daughters? All of it will be the first installment. :)

Two right now, both daughters. 16 months old and two weeks old.
How much hair? All of it if need be.

She sounds adorable. I remember pointing my finger at my youngest
once to scold him and he kissed my finger. How can you be mad at a
kid like that?

Ok, so we've been doing the timeout thing. She's had two already in the last
1 hour and 40 minutes. She kind of seems to be getting it, but kind of seems
to not really care. The really really hard part is keeping a straight face.

Morchella, thank you so much for your post. It really puts things in
perspective. If a woman with Down Syndrome and suffering from HIV still has
enough lust for life to take the time to brighten the day of the 'normal'
people, it should really be a lesson to us all! Good luck and Godspe
Michael's idea of holding her hand sounds good. I would include a
firm NO, and maybe a few minutes in a timeout place. Try to save the
NOs for times when she is courting danger, however. If you use it too
much, she's parrot it back to you and it will become useless.
Here's a good article:

I feel for you. I really do. Our 22 month old is getting into places and
doing things she should not and we're kind of tied up with the newborn.
Computers rather than cats, but...
We're not using the 'go to bed' timeout as a time-out because we don't want
her to associate bed with punishment but i
Ya, it makes sense.

I find that in situations like this, beatings are way under-utilized.
All kidding aside. When we had issues with our kids and similar
circumstances, we would escalate the 'punishment'. I used to laugh about
it, btu at that age 'timeout' in a different room worked wonders for my
kids.

The reason we've been doing it this way is because it's not always an option
to remove her from the animal. Our main floor is open concept so to remove
her would mean taking her upstairs. She's not old enough for the "go to your
room" type thing and staying up with her when the wife is feeding the
The cats declawed (not my choice) otherwise I think this would already be
sorted. Any suggestions on how to make it a less than pleasant experience
that a 16 month old will understand?

The first time the cat turns and claws her, she'll get it. IF you
want to prevent that, you have to stop her by making it a less than
pleasant experience, same as with the dog.

How so?
So far each time she's done it we've removed the animal from the situation
and told her that she's not allowed to play with them because she hurt them.
She doesn't really understand. She's not even a year and a half yet so she
has a pretty limited understanding of cause & effect.

When one of my kids do something like that I take their hand, hold it
without letting it go and tell them that hitting is wrong. Not squeezing
their hand, not hurting them, just holding firm. They get the 'punishment'
of not being able to leave while being scolded.

Ok, my 16.5 month old has started pulling the cat's tail and legs as well as
the dog's tail. We've been stopping her immediately and try explaining it
hurts them and she just laughs. She's pretty young so I don't really expect
her to 'get it.' But... how do I make her 'get it?'
