How would you punish a toddler for throwing a remote and breaking a new $5,000 television?

The same consequence as if he threw a remote and broke a $5 TV.

The value of the tv means nothing. Work on teaching not tk throw things. Thats about it.

This.

And figure out who was supposed to be watching the toddler.

Punish yourself for leaving the remote out.

Awww... TV is a bad babysitter.

Reduce the amount of food you feed the toddler, until you have recouped the cost of the 5K TV.

What do you think the punishment should be?

I mean, it's not their (and all of us who pay credit card fees) fault your kid broke the TV. This should be a claim under your insurance if it covers damage from a family member.

Troll. There's no tv on earth that costs 5k in 2023.

Off topic but what TV costs 5k these days and why would you buy it? We have a 65 inch Samsung frame thing and it was only like $1400

I'm in Canada. Google showed me 5 tv's for $4999.99. A couple over that.

Op, what do you do when he throws things? That's what you needed to do here.

Work with him on managing his anger in appropriate ways. It's not so much about punishing, but teaching.

I wouldn't punish him. It's not helpful. Teach him emotional control; it will go much further.

He's too young to really punish.

I am appalled that you are spending time thinking about how to punish a three year old instead of thinking about ways to return the tv. Your priorities suck.
