One thing I have to say is: I never ever moved my items from my home, I had photo frames, candles and valuable items all within reach. I did teach my child “no” and that things weren’t to be touched or played with if they weren’t child friendly.
However, she lets Ronnie play with fake/battery candles, feed the dog etc but will probably tell him off for doing it when it’s not being recorded (remember the time she told him off for going in the cupboard, even though moments before he was allowed to for her content!) my child was allowed to have toys out to her hearts content, she knew how to help tidy them away from a very young age and we set rules about pens only at the table etc. As children should learn to respect their homes.
But that’s the difference… it isn’t a home where I feel, Ronnie especially, feels relaxed. I’ve a family member who reminds me of hinch, all this stuff to show and look at, all bland and boring and it no longer is a home I feel relaxed and welcome in and I feel my child can’t get toys out etc without being fully conditioned - you can respect your home in a way that there’s balance
