A quick example of me calmly setting the boundary around plants that I don’t want Etta to touch.

I’m being very calm and my voice doesn’t sound excited or perturbed. Remember: Big reactions make your baby want to do that thing even more!

When I can see that the plant is just too exciting, I gently help her to move on to something new.

Respectful. No shouting or threatening voice required.
