[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I do tell him beforehand and I am trying to stop him from hurting anyone else.

Is there any other way to handle this without leaving the class?  It was expensive and he needs the activity.  The rest of the class is doing things he can’t throw (except for balls which oddly he doesn’t throw. Ugh)[/quote]

There are ways to handle it but none of them involve his continuing to throw toys. He doesn’t “need” it more than the other children, and you didn’t pay more to be there than they did, so try to lose the entitlement aspect here.

If you’re not able to monitor and stop the throwing— he stops playing with the throwable toys. There are others he can’t throw? He uses those. Then after a week he can try out a toy (with you standing there ready to *prevent him from throwing*, when you have coached and maybe practiced at home strategies like those discussed here — foot stomping— for what to do if he wants to throw.) it seems like your question was more “how do I make it so much child throws toys and no one blames me” and the answer to that is, more engagement.[/quote]
