You can't. A 2 year old is pretty much hard-wired to test boundaries and limits. Anything you won't let him do is something that he desperately wants to do. Even more so because you restrict it. Possible solutions are: 1) babyproof whatever room you're going to leave him in unattended so there's nothing forbidden in it. 2) fence off an area in some way so he's restricted to only a safe part of a room 3) not leave him unattended in a room 4) allow him to play with things in your presence. This will remove their allure. Of course, this shouldn't be done with intrinsically harmful objects, like knives. But it can be done with fragile items, as long as you're there to show him how to be gentle, and only play with them over something soft like a pillow, in case it slips out of his hands.

well i know the feeling i have a 2 year old and she never touched a thing. But as soon as she turned 2 i could not stop her from getting into things. She has an addiction to shoes she wears everyones shoes in the house, i noticed she would mainly get our sandels. well i bought her some of her own. she stopped getting mine! I have to watch her every minute,she mainly likes to destroy my room so i know to put the things i don't want her touching up high. i know it's not a solution but hey they say just 1 year.this is my first kid that goes through the terrible 2's. and i have 7! baby gates work too, I usually keep her in plain sight so i can redirect her when she does grab something.I did that with my other children and they are so good, i guess thats why i never went through this when they were 2 i started early but since shes the baby you know how that goes. good luck and patience is a virtue remember that bye
