[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with what’s been suggested. Give that a chance. If he keeps throwing it, he’s choosing to be defiant, and here’s what I’ve done that ultimately works.

“I told you not to throw toys. Now you’re going to get a spanking when you throw things.”

It’s not angry, it’s matter-of-fact.

Pick him up, pull down his pants, put him across your lap and give three swats.

Heretic! Don't you know we let kids watch two hours of TV a day, eat yogurt and cereal for dinner, potty train 5 seconds before preschool and push them in strollers until their knees are up to their ears here!?!? [/quote]

Sorry no. Youre being lazy.

If a mouse is in a maze and you give it a choice to go left or right but you want it to go R(learned behavior) then you can shock the mouse when they go left with no shock when they go R (thereby causing pain and fear) or erect a barrier a bit down the line so that if they go left they get stopped but if they go right they continue (no fear and no pain) or use a piece of cheese as incentive to go R or any other means. The mouse will learn the first one faster but it has repercussions (documented not just b/s) OR you can ACTUALLY parent/discipline, which is teaching. At the end of the day you still get the same result but one takes longer because you are building something not just fearing them into behavior.

OP- one warning. take toys if not listened to. put them away for the day. the next day is a new day. try to intercept before the behavior but toddlers dont have impulse control. provide toys they can throw.
