If your whole house is child proofed, then put hook and eye closeures on the inside of your doors, way above her head.

They're a pain, you have to let ppl in. But worth it if she's going to get on the road.

By the way, I'm not in favor of spanking. But one exception would be if she willfully gets on, or close to, going on to the road. I would then spank. Over pants, but hard enough to make an impression. I save spanking for those kinds of

things. And that age.

Put pots and pans, unbreakable bowls, dishes, in your bottom cupboards, and let her get in them. Make your whole house her playground. Safe.

You can't curb her curiosity, and I dont' think you would want to. It shows intellegence.

I have a 4 YEAR OLD that does that haha. He's severe ADHD/ODD though. My solution is literally baby proofing my home (has been since he was a baby, and stayed that way). Anything that he can get hurt on is locked away. Knives, scissors, medicines, chemicals, breakables, electrical, etc. EVERYTHING is on lockdown. Becareful with locking her in her room, you may need to call CYFD and find out what the regulations are... it's NOT illegal, but there are hazards with locking a child in a room, such as fires, and them having no escape route, and should something happen and there is a fire and the child dies or gets injured, it can fall back on you, so just find out what the regulations are. I have to do the same thing, because of the problems that my child has, he will purposefully not wake me and get into things, and my BMS service is trying to find out what the regulations are for locking him in his room because he's a danger to himself if he's not supervised at ALL times. I have a baby moniter in his room, so if anything happened I know I can hear him though, but like I said, find out what the regulations are in your area. :-) That's the best way to deal with a over curious child. :-) Best of luck to you!!!

What things is she getting into? Try to involve her in the new baby, asking her to bring you things. I use those plastic locks that usually go on the front door, but on their rooms when I don't want my daughter to get out before we wake up, because she likes to get into baking things and make big messes. Just search the net for some Baby proofing things, like a fridge lock, locks for doors, and cupboards and then provide fun toys to entertain her, new playdoh or the cupboard with plastic. Just give options of what she can do.

My son does the same things. He is constantly into things and it drives me up the wall. I've come to learn that if you give him things to do or involve them in your activities whatever it is that you are doing, then things tend to calm down. For example, I'm working on my Bachelor's degree and I have tons of homework, in the beginning he was everywhere and didn't seem to understand what homework was. One day he said mommy I wanna do homework, I gave him a piece of paper and a pencil and it was the best thing I could have ever done. Now when I do homework, he does too.

i had this problem right after i gave birth to my third baby...my middle was three years old....she would dump all of my shampoo out....really, she would dump all of everything out that could be dumped....she started writing on the wall with permanent marker...etc....the list goes on and on.....she is jealous and is looking for attention.....what i did was put EVERYTHING up where she could not get to it....and make sure i somehow made time for things we used to do together...like, let the baby play on the floor by us while we played pretend with her ponies....i just started incorporating the baby into her's and i's time together instead of always trying to incorporate her into the time i was spending with the baby....i also made sure that she had at least thirty minutes of touch from me everyday...stroking her hair at bed time, holding her and dancing, hugging her, letting her snuggle with me for a short movie etc.....this helpped alot and slowly but surely i was able to take EVERYTHING down from its hiding place and she feels much better and i feel much better....i hope this helps....it took me a little while to catch on

Well since everyone thinks that spanking is wrong these days (except me) I dont know what to say. Its part of childhood, dont expect her to be a perfect little angel all the time. I was spanked as a kid and that made me stay out of stuff. It disciplined me in a way that was effective; Just saying "No" repeatedly is going to be a long and annoying journey.

That's a good question,Have you tried child-proof locks.For like cabinets and drawers.

punish her and constantly tell her that it is bad.

you have to be persistant, and patient.

be firm, and dont give in.

:)

HA HA HA Nothing!! It is just part of childhood.
