[quote=Anonymous]This does not sound completely out-of-normal...maybe a little more extreme, but not ridiculous. At his age, the dumping out of toys *is* his way of playing with things. DD is 4 and DS is 1.5, and they both do this sort of thing. And, please, for the love of everything, do not start trying to explain behavior away based on your child's sex!! If he's doing something you don't like, address it in an age appropriate way (he's too young to understand the punishment you gave him). Don't just sit there and shrug your shoulders because he's a boy. Even if boys are more prone to certain misbehaviors and girls to others, it doesn't mean they shouldn't be taught to behave according to expectations. At his age, I would focus on getting him to participate in cleaning up his toys rather than in preventing them from dumping them. And if at all possible, get him to clean up one set of toys before pulling out another.[/quote]
