Good points EX, yeah I did the same, had one main room, and kept doors closed, especially the bathroom. But I did have to tap hands when we were watching TV, as my son was fascinated over changing channels. But he learned about No and Stop though, and after that, I never had to touch him again, Hmm and didn't have to move the furniture around either. That's my point though, as training them young to obey, is essential, I never had to tap the girls at all, as they just seemed to understand for some reason. I can't stand seeing people go overboard though, but I do think there are a lot of parents with poor parenting skills though. What about after a fair warning, and they still want to pull the lamp off the table by the cord?
