[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 523819, member: 1233"] Tedo, your child is at least as able to get it as pavlov's dogs were. Figure out what would work for you as a gesture or sound and use that every time you correct something or would us the mom look. Janet used her finger but that probably wouldnot work as well. My mom cleared her throat and the entire family stopped instantly. Even when she had a cold. the dog and cats would/do stop at that sound too. All my friends from elem through married life responded too, even if they didn't know why. i use a finger snap. i don't snap fingers often because the arthritis, but when talking would not fit in well or would be rude, i do it and my family knows darn well what that means and they respond. I haven't ever had to snap a second time. At first, each time you tell him no, or stop, use the sound/snap/whatever. Don't say 'when I do this it means xxx", just do it each time you say no, stop, i don't like htat or whatever. Be sure that is the only time and it is the same thing each time. Think of it as you 'gang sign' and only throw it when you mean it. if you are consistent, it will eventually work. if that doesn't, you can always dump a cup of water on him. kidding!!! just be consistent and it will get through. i did find that if they started ignoring what i said it meant i was talking too much. Sometimes not yelling f they are used to it, or yelling if you are quiet, gets their attention. [/QUOTE]
