my 20 month old has started throwing things for no apparent reason, shes has been throught the biting stage and we delt with that quickly and effectivly and she no longer bites, i was just wondering how to deal with her when she throws things, she loves throwing balls and shes a very good shot and has a strong arm which we encourge at the park or in the garden but she has started throwing wooden bricks and other toys that shouldnt be thrown like pens/crayons, has anyone else delt with this problem? thanks 20 month old, advice needed on how to stop throwing things?
A firm no and walk away from her. If you keep on then she will repeat it just for the attention.20 month old, advice needed on how to stop throwing things?
The more you pay attention to it, the more she'll do it! She knows she'll get a reaction out of you. If giving one firm no hasn't worked take away whatever it was she was playing with and throwing and put it where she can't get to it. And if she freaks out over it let her have her tantrum walk away, and come back when she's calm. I redirected my daughter's throwing, she use to throw her toys, but i started throwing them in her toy bin. So she now throws them in her toy bin and every time she does I still make a big happy deal over it. She still has fun throwing, but it's not hitting anyone or making a mess!
My son was the same and he would throw everything even plates of food! I just told him no and made him pick it up, then I showed him what to do with whatever he threw, so if he threw a toy car I would make him pick it up then I would play with it on the floor, with his food I did get cross but again I made him help clean it up and repeated NO very firmly. You will notice the signs that she is about to throw something and the trick is to get in there before she does it!
Good Luck and dont worry its just a thing they all do!
when my daughter went through this stage we told her in a firm tone NO and explained why not to, but we encouraged playing with soft balls in the garden and made a point that only balls can be thrown outside not in the house. She got the point in about 3 weeks. Good luck and dont give up
my son is also 20 months hes throwing everything i have a pat (parents as teachers) she said its a new thing they learned just like in-dependency they will grow out of it don't pay no mind the bigger deal u make the more they will do it
you are the parent.say no.
every time she does that just say no and walk away and if it happens go to the doctors or mabe she is just teething so she bites
