[quote=Anonymous]I would keep the newborn safe from him. The newborn is completely defenseless.

I would give one bite of food at a time. That way there's never more than one bite to clean up. "Oh, you're throwing your food? You must be finished. Okay, lunch is over; you can go play now."  Eat outside if possible.

Make your house very tidy - become minimalists and put everything else in childproofed drawers or high up where he can't climb to reach. Baby gates to keep him out of the room where you have company and have nice things.

Also, WEAR HIM OUT. Running, jumping, mini trampoline if you have space for it, etc. Combination of cerebral and physical energy. Lastly, have a strict schedule for the day so he knows when it's time for various things. He won't understand it's 1pm so time for nap, but will understand that after nap it's book time, then park time, then dinner time, etc.

Lastly, figure out his currency - sticker for eating without throwing?  You can teach counting at the same time - five stickers equals one toy car. [/quote]
