[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t “explain” and rationalize with a 2.5 year old. Use a short “when/ then” phrase and keep it simple and repeat as necessary. Stay calm. In your calm voice: “When we throw trucks, then they go away”. Then pick up the truck and disappear it. Don’t wait for a tantrum, redirect immediately. “Ohhh, it’s the train! Chooo choo” and model how to move the train on the floor. When the child plays nicely, comment on it. “I like how you keep your train on the tracks”. [/quote] Not OP but my DD is 4 and throwing everything at us. I wrote down When Then so hopefully I'll remember to do it tonight. 1 2 3 magic doesn't really work for us. Thanks! [/quote]
