He doesn’t care if we tell him no

It’s just the age. My daughter thinks it’s a game no matter what. It’s easier to redirect the attention than expect them to listen
He gonna get it with time. They are so wild. It's totally normal if he doesn't get it right away. Hang out and keep going
Mine does the same. I tell him no and move him away from what he wants (right now the Christmas tree) and normally he won’t touch it for the next few hours. What gets me is when he looks at me and says no then does what he knows not to 🤦🏼♀️
Yea, I've found that redirection works better than just saying no also
Saying Don’t, stop and no I learned won’t work well because they are still learning the language and talking direct is more effective then indirect (being “don’t, stop, no”) is more. For example if he’s playing with something that’s not a toy, grab his hand and redirect to what he can play with while saying that’s not a toy, let’s go to ur toy. Another example: Instead of “stop jumping on the couch” say “Jumping is for outside play, couch is for sitting” … this helped me once I saw a video about it, best of luck ❤️
Redirecting and positively reinforcing “good” behavior consistently works in our household 8/10 times (with the other two typically being when my little one is overtired). They don’t fully understand what no means and your reaction/the cause and effect is what keeps them wanting to repeat the behavior.
Did you try wiggling your finger in addition to saying no?
