Need some seriousl suggestions?

Question

He's going through the terrible twos,,he has a horrible habit of throwing things...whatever in his hands at anyone at anytime..and grins about it..before i ge the time outs and spanks or gently throw it back we have done all that and we always make him say he's sorry.

Now his mother and I (i'm grandma) both have ADD , but i think this is a phase, any other ideas? Other than this,,,,he's pretty cute and normal..you just don't know when he'll launch a rocket..Thoughts?

Answer 1

try getting a baby pen, like the playards with no toys and put him in there for a couple of minutes while saying no right after he throws, sometimes with younger kids it probably works better than time outs. Also, I know it is hard, my son did this but for the most part, out grew it. Good Wishes!

Answer 2

take whatever he throws and put it away where he can't have it.  EVERY toy he throws you will put up, tell him that.  He'll eventually not have anything to throw if he keeps it up.

Answer 3

Take aways anything that he throws at you

if that doesn't work and he just starts screaming then put him in a timeout and give him one toy back for every minute he stays there and doesn't keep standing up or yelling

Answer 4

Before he has an opportunity to play with ANYTHING, set the standard and make him aware of your expectations:

-You will not throw any toys.

-If you do, I will take it away and give it to children who will play with them nicely.

Kids HATE when you threaten to give their toys to other children.  If you say you are going to throw it away, they don't care, cause the garbage can't play with their toys!  The consequence should ALWAYS fit the crime.

Stick to it, as consistency is the KEY to well behaved children.

P.S.  I have two kids and teach kindergarten.  This works!

Good Luck!

Answer 5

you may think i am kidding when i say this

  he needs to be in time out . if he is two then it needs to be for two min.

  u may think this is bull but it works if not then i would try talking it out to him, i know it sounds crazy but they are little people and how we react they will act so if you spank him he will think it is ok to hit and that wont solve his throwing habit but also if you always renig on discipline just because he says sorry then he's playing you like a puppit...lol
