The two-yes room

⏱️ ongoing📦 nothing needed🏠 indoor🤲 on the move💛 Social-emotional

A toddler this age wants to explore the world and seek adventure, and will spend most of their time testing limits — theirs, yours and the room's. A room set up so that almost everything in it is allowed turns a hundred daily noes into a handful, which is better for the limits that are left.

none

🛡️ A room with fewer noes still needs the real hazards gone, not merely out of reach — sockets, cords, blind pulls, unsecured furniture, small objects and anything that heats. Fewer rules only works if the room genuinely is safe.
