[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 251493, member: 5663"] Generally, when she's bouncing all over the house I try not to run around after her, but it seems like she feeds on my immobility (I have a screwed up SI joint that hurts 24/7 and when it's worse I have a hard time getting up and down). I don't want her to climb all over the kitchen counters - I see her step on the stove, leap across the sink - she could seriously hurt herself. And sure, I keep saying that, but she acts like it's no big deal because the stove was off and she didn't fall. She climbs under husband's desk where there are parts and cables and stuff she could damage, but can't see why she can't hide in there. How am I supposed to keep her from running around when she gets like this, so she doesn't 1. hurt herself, 2. hurt me or the cat, 3. break something or 4. get into something she shouldn't (like cake, fish food, medicine), and do all this without pulling her down or physically removing her and restraining her (like in a bear hug)? I understand it upsets kids like ours when we do this, but I feel her and others *saftey* comes before getting her upset! She will not listen when I say "get off that counter" or "go to your room" or even if I say let her watch a cartoon just to calm down, she won't sit and watch it. How do you force a child to stay safe when they won't reason? (not that it's easy to reason with any young child). [/QUOTE]
