For my 1 year old nephew, his mother (my aunt) tells me to just ignore him when he throws things on the floor, and keep picking it back up. Well, at one meal time, for example, he'll throw his spoon or cup on the floor 20 times, and although I want to respect her parental wishes, I'm positive that it's not right. I'm not even allowed to use the word "no," "don't do that" or "we don't throw things on the floor" in his presence! How crazy is that?! Anyway, shouldn't you say something like the 3 things I listed in the previous sentence and then if he continues to throw it, just take it away from him until he learns to act right? My point is, how is he expected to differentiate between what's a game and what's not if no one even tells him what's right or wrong (she's literally NOT ONCE even told him not to throw it). He's turning into a brat and his mother does everything to accomodate his every wish. Now that he's not napping, my aunt walks around carrying him until he falls asleep
