Benny is thinking, "OK, so far, so good... he hasn't tried to remove my nose, and mom and dad are trying to make sure he doesn't use my fur as a handrail...."
Works better to take babies hand in yours to model the gentle stroking that want baby to copy. "No, don't", basically ineffective for teaching positive behavior. Of course if holding camera, getting video is more the point at the moment, that's another matter altogether. Well being all
I said “gentle “we talk about gentle hands . He’s also only 8 months he doesn’t know what he’s doing I am also a lead one year old teacher and have plenty of schooling in early childhood education. In this video he’s not trying to pet he’s just trying to stand up because right now he’s learning how to stand up so anything he can find he’s going to pull up on
