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

Infantilizing a 3 year old is weird. Send to room (door open) for 20 minutes— no iPad or electronic anything. Or no dessert if it’s typically offered.

Makes me wonder if the child was imitating behavior they have seen in adults. Throwing things when you are angry or even just for fun.

He's a spoiled brat and you have only yourselves to blame for installing TV with your him present and allowing him to have the remote.

You can't punish him because he has no concept if what he did and again this is the fault of your crap lparenting,!

Toddler can’t understand the weight of the consequence.
No punishment. It becomes the story that get’s told at his wedding.

Of course a scammer chimes in.



No worse than the OP wanting to get the money back from her credit card.


Some good credit cards offer complimentary accidental breakage insurance for this sort of thing, you nitwit.

I'd put yourselves in time-out for being so stupid as to buy a $5k TV with a toddler in your house.

That's about the dumbest thing you could possibly do, short of investing in an in-house fish-tank company.

I feel sorry for the TV. It deserved better than your home.

Like others have said I wouldn’t punish, it’s already happened. 3 year olds need a consequence immediately. I had an older kid break a tv accidentally from throwing a toy salt shaker. We just didn’t replace the tv for a while , so 1/3 of their shows were a black screen.

+1, and do not put expensive/breakable things within reach or throwing range of DC until he is much older, and has mastered anger management,

Off to the salt mines with them

If that’s a brief time out, I would do that. If it’s telling him no and redirecting, then that. But any consequence at that age would need to happen within about 10 minutes to be effective, so if you are asking now then no further consequence.

And then if they asked to watch TV while it is being fixed, I would say sadly “We can’t watch TV, the TV is broken”.
