Say there is an energetic 1.5 yr old whose new joy is trying to turn the stove on. How would you set and instill this boundary?

Easy...talk to them and figure out a way to block off the kitchen.
I'm tellin' you...the more you have conversations with your child from early on, the more they'll understand right from wrong.

Dude is 1.5 yr old. Not just his age but his attention span in seconds.They can understand emotion/tones/ but they dont know wtf you saying.
Block off the kitchen, yea. That would do it, but the lil hulk broke the baby gate.
In the scenario, I swatted him twice on the backside of his thigh, looked him in his teary eyes and said "No" while shaking my head. So he make that connection. He hasn't done it since.
Small children act off of impulse.
We as parent have to guide them and help them control their behavior in spite of their impulses. They are not going to absorb
your lectures at that age. But they can feel and understand their are consequences for certain actions. Not every kids needs to get hit, and you shouldn't be having to spank your kids on a 'regular' basis once they are over 4. Its a tool of training that should be used with love and self control, not anger or habit.
Im not out here supporting hitting babies who don't know any better that's sick.
But my daughter's 3.
She has a good enough concept of right from wrong.
Y'all takin the extremes as the norm.
Most people who say they "spank" their child do so with a couple slaps to the clothed leg or but.
I don't do them southern grandma beatings.
i used to think the same thing until i was proven wrong over and over watching my wife and son interact. i think children can understand more than parents give them credit for at an early age. the smartest kids out of all my cousins were these 3 that got perfect SATs and got into top colleges with scholarships and they also went to public school. asked my auntie how her kids got so smart and said she talked to them using proper sentence structure and never babyspeak from when they were infants and encouraged them to read from an early age too.Dude is 1.5 yr old.

I think it depends on the parent and child. Spanking and hitting never worked on me. Just made me boil on the inside with hatred and filled with the need to reciprocate.
However, with my daughters now I do the old school cliche military punishment ala pushups, jumping jacks, planks. Form better be perfect as well. I'll stand there and lecture them while they are going through their paces and tell them the reasoning for why what they did is wrong. Disrespect just gets added reps or more time in the plank position.
I mostly use jumping jacks when we are in public or outdoor setting. They haven't acted out in public in a while as they hate the thought of having to do 25 jumping jacks counting out loud as I tell them what is up.
I'm trying my best to treat every mis-step as a learning situation. But when they piss me off...Its drop and give me 10-15(the girls are 7.)
The little one is 3. She's seen what her sisters have had to do. At first she thought it was a game. Until she saw them crying while doing it. lol.
Sometimes I'll stop them mid set and ask if they can tell me what they did wrong, why it was wrong and what the consequences would be if I wasn't there to catch them. If they can reason, stop throwing the tantrum and listen. That's the end of that. If not..... +5.
Haven't had a temper tantrum thrown by one of them in a while. lol.
My wife is HUGE on the taking away privileges thing. I'm down for that too. Just gotta pay the piper his pushups or planks first.
Growing up, I found that taking away my privileges was much worse (effective) than beating me.
The pain mostly subsided after a few hours, days at the most severe.
But telling me I can't go outside nor play video games for weeks? That **** was like prison.
I remember one time my dad took my CLOTHES fam. I had a buncha throwbacks, girbaud jeans in every color, and of course tons of shoes. What had me bugging is that dude didn't even buy half of that **** technically half that stuff was mine. Of course I ain't say that though
This guy took ALL of that **** and put it in storage. Had me rocking fruit of the loom plain shirts, plain jane Levi's and my creased up shoes i used to hoop in :x
That right there was MUCH more devastating than any *** whooping I ever got.

How's a 1.5 year old breaking down a gate and getting to a stove quick enough to turn it on?
C'mon, bro...
No one is "lecturing" a kid at that age, man. Think about their attention span. However, if you talk to them from an early age (studies show this)...like actually have conversations, they will increase their vocabulary capacity as well as their cognitive ability to learn NOT to do things due to safety reason.
Simple as that.
Thats great that worked out for them. I never said that talking doesn't work. I'm saying sometimes it is not enough.i used to think the same thing until i was proven wrong over and over watching my wife and son interact. i think children can understand more than parents give them credit for at an early age. the smartest kids out of all my cousins were these 3 that got perfect SATs and got into top colleges with scholarships and they also went to public school. asked my auntie how her kids got so smart and said she talked to them using proper sentence structure and never babyspeak from when they were infants and encouraged them to read from an early age too.Dude is 1.5 yr old.

He didnt do it in one motion, on some tazmanian devil steez. He broke it a few days earlier

And 'correcting' your child is a viable tool in training children.
I never baby spoke and I would read to my children in the womb regularly.
My girls are highly articulate and sociable. This is consistent feedback from people who observe them.
But earlier on, got 'corrected' tho when they were disobedient. Now they have come to understand boundaries
an respecting authority be it another adult, a teacher at school, etc.

Even still...doesn't explain how a 1.5 year old is fast enough to break a gate down and get to the stove without an adult intervening. Unless he's unsupervised, there's literally no way this could happen.

He wasnt left in a empty room. We were both in the kitchen and he has a toy he plays with in hand. As Im talking to my wife and he walks over to the stove and turns the knob. I say "No, Stop" and call his name. ( He's aware of those words) But, looks at me a laughs and he wrenches the knob faster, pushing on it and almost turning it on. I walk up him so I can control the situation and said No louder, shaking me head in fright. I was hoping he would stop himself /mercy. He didnt. so I swatted him. Then I talked to him about it. The end.How's a 1.5 year old breaking down a gate and getting to a stove quick enough to turn it on?

Kind of semi off topic... but based on reading everyone's response here... instead of starting a new thread, I should ask here...
How do you feel about people correcting you? As far as parenting?
Based on the responses in here, some of you come off as "I'm right, you're wrong" type of person.
Not to my knowledge.Dont take this the wrong way but is child training ministry talk?
Never heard anyone say raising a kid as child training and even when I google child training a lot has something to do with religious groups in someway.

I say child training because it helps me. It reminds me what I am supposed to be doing; training them for life.
