Stern voice has no effect on 18 month old
So I've got this little guy who's only been here a couple of months so far. He's a super happy little guy! Problem is, when he's done something he shouldn't, and I need to use my stern voice, he laughs. I don't feel that he's being directly defiant, though. I've talked to his parents about how they manage things with him at home, (when he's not listening or hits...), and they don't give him time outs because they feel he's too young. I told them that he gets time outs here, and Mom said she was going to start so that we were on the same page. Has anyone had this? Is this simply because of leniency at home?
