2 year old is constantly repeating the same "bad" behaviour We tried being gentle and kind, but doesn't seem to work at all. We also explain the severity of some actions. How do you correct this behaviour?

I have 2 children (5 & 12). My 12 year old is very difficult (ADHD, dealing with adoption reality, etc.) I was a PE teacher so I have experience dealing with children. I might be able to provide some help but do you want to give more details on "bad" behavior? I only ask because, without context, it is difficult to plan which direction to travel.

Specifically going into the kitchen. It's dangerous but she still goes. Grabbing things that don't belong to her, even if it's dangerous too. Happens way more often when she's bored too

Is there a way to block off the kitchen? Not as a permanent block off but as a tool for a consequence.

We can't unfortunately. It's connected with the front room

My thought here is to use removal from the kitchen as a consequence for touching something they should not. This worked for my students, but for a 2yrs old, it will need to be simplified. A simple "Do not touch" stated in a calm and controlled way with an immediate removal from the area. Preferably in an area where they can continue to see you in the kitchen but will not be able to access it until you allow it. If they cry, you do not allow them back into the kitchen until they calm. Emotional children normally don't receive the message until their emotions subside. The more you do this, the more they receive the message. The child will begin to look at you (message is being received by child) before touching an item they previously received a consequence for. Allow them to touch it again (if it's something dangerous, getting very close but not touching can be consequenced) once touched, repeat the process above. Consistency is key to all consequences, and being a united front (you and your partner) is a must
