[quote=Anonymous]The punishment needs to be immediately after the behavior otherwise it’s useless w a 3 year old. If this happened more than a few minutes ago, he likely doesn’t even really remember doing it let alone give you a reason why he did it. And you need to know how to prevent it in the future not how to punish him for something that’s already over. Three year olds have no concept of money so the fact that the tv was expensive means nothing to him. I’d do this: 1) tell him no throwing things (anything) in the house. If you want to throw, we go outside to throw things. When you throw things you can hurt someone or break something so no throwing at all inside and when you’re outside you never throw at a person or car, etc because that could hurt/break someone/thing. 2) keep remotes away from 3 year olds. A 3 year old should never have access to anything they can easily destroy/break. Leaving the remote in his reach is your fault.[/quote]
