Were always telling him it's hot, he's just become a little dare devil and thinks it's funny. Will definatly look into getting the fire place gate or play pen to use.
We tell my DD that the oven is hot, and she tried to blow on it (like we do for her food when its hot). SLowly i think its getting through. But firstly you have to protect them, and if the teaching them about hot and danger is taking awhile then sometimes you just have to put the barriers up to protect them until they get it.
We did the "hot" thing too. DS was ok, and when he was little- the oven where we lived the knobs etc were all at the back of the oven, but no we have moved here they are right on the front, DS(3) knows now not to touch, but DD (1) is just starting to explore. Unfortunately she learned hot coz she climbed in behind me as i was getting a pizza out of there and she touched the door- and it hurt. And she hasnt been near it since!!! i wouldnt recommend you burn DS's hand, but i like Frangipani's idea of letting them touch it warm to help them understand.
