He throws things on the floor and also at other children at nursery. He is 20 months old......He is a well adjusted little boy who is always happy and laughing, this has his mum & dad really worried. They spend a lot of time with him playing, reading & taking him out.......any ideas from nanny 911 or other. He is an only child

It is a common phase growing up. The important thing is how you react to it. Tell calmly but firmly that it is not acceptable and could hurt. Then confiscate the toy that was thrown. Child should soon learn that if I throw it I will lose it.

my son went through this stage of throwing things, eveerytime he would throw an object i would get down to his level, gently take hold of his hand and tell him in a firm voice (not aggresive or shouting) that throwing things is very naughty, because you were naughty and you threw (whatever the item was) you have to go sit on the naughty step. i would place him him for 1minute for every year he was. at first he would get up and down off the step and still carry on throwing things, so i then got a box and told him anything he threw would go in this box and he would not be allowed it bak until he stopped throwing things. this along with the naughty step seemed to work. you must understand that all children go through stages and aslong as the child is told that what he is doing is wrong then he will after time stop that behaviour. you could also introduce a box of soft balls that he could throw but only allow him to have it under supervised conditions.

Stern warning with 'i mean it face'. If he does it agin pick him up (firmly but no cuddling) and place him in a room or corner away from objects. Tell him he is staying there for two minutes because he threw the .... and grandma asked him not to. If he moves put him back, do not speak or make eye contact. Continue till he has done his two minutes. Ask for an apology, (if none put back in corner/room, he will soon learn the process). This is called time out and is a very effective, non violent way or dealing the behaviour. DO NOT REWARD HIM WITH ATTENTION!! Good luck!!

he's 20 months old.. that's why he does it.. my son does it to all the time.. sometimes I have to take certain toys away from him so that he doesn't break it... I just tell him over and over to be nice.. it usually works at the moment.. if he's throwing is toys on the tile, I'll tell him to be nice.. he will set it down real nicely but then about a half hour later he's throwing them again.. so my thoughts are just to keep telling him to be nice ... and I'm sure it will catch on eventually

Don't forget there is a novelty value in learning about gravity - if things flew up to the ceiling when we dropped them we'd keep doing it too!
Other than that, don't react and calmly tell him to pick the object back up - but make sure he does, if he gets people running around for him he get a taste for it and if you don't hold fast he'll think you'll weaken next time and do it for him and will hold out longer.

I agree with whats already been said,but would just like to add that most toddlers do go through this sort of behavoiur but he will soon learn not to if he is told of in an appropriate way.

Kids this age throw things, but he should be redirected. Maybe if the items are taken away from him until he is willing to stop throwing them it will get better.

When he throws something that he is not suppose to, firmly telling him that "..... (whatever he threw) is made for .... (whatever it is used for) not throwing, we can throw .... (tell him something he can throw) when we are .... (when it is OK to throw it). And then explain that it is dangerous to throw things.
Example: Forks are made for eating not throwing, we can throw a ball when we are outside playing.
Make sure you get down on his level and speak firm but don't yell. If he throws it again tell him again but this time set him down somewhere for 2 minutes and tell him he needs to sit and think about it.

True most of Hebron and the old city of Jerusalem belonged to Jews before the 1929 riots.

Ooh, entering the terrific twos, huh?
It will pass. What happened when your children started doing this years ago? apply the same techniques to get through it.
