We tell him not to throw all the time!! OP here.  And I’m the only parent in this class involved and not sitting on the sidelines and I still couldn’t catch the toys before they were thrown. [/quote]

You may need to stop the class for a while until you have a handle on things. It’s not fair to other kids to have things thrown at them.

In this specific case, OP, he was done with the class when he threw the first thing.  It's a safety risk to other kids.

Also: yes to 123 Magic and also to helping him expend his energy BEFORE the class (or any group activity like this).  If excessive energy is part of what leads to throwing, burn it off.  I agree with others about the positive redirection, too.  It's normal for kids that age to get really upset and have big reactions.  So, yes, show him what he can do.  He'll get it, but you will also have to be all over him through the process.[/quote]
