[quote=Anonymous]Op, you said yourself that the child is looking for a reaction. Don’t give him one. When the unwanted behavior presents, you remove the item (the plate, the toy, whatever it is). You calmly state “we don’t throw plate. dinner is over now.” toy don’t engage further. just repeat the action and the consequence. Expect the behavior to get worse before it is extinguished, this is normal. Calm and consistent needs to be your mantra. If your child came to my classroom and told me he’d been locked in the closet I would have to report that to CPS. It is potentially traumatizing, don’t do it. -Preschool teacher [/quote]
