[quote=Anonymous]Like others have said, taking his toys away from him does not address the underlying issue, which is teaching him not to throw the toys at you.

Put his toys back out, bring him to them, and say, "Do not throw toys at me. That hurts." Then, if he throws a toy, crouch down (it's very important to get to a kid's physical level), look him in the eye, and say sternly, "Do not throw that at me." If he does it again, you can remove him from his toys for a short period of time.

Like others have said, it could also be an energy release issue. There are lots of indoor playplaces around; bring him to one of those places and let him run himself ragged.

As for the dumping, that's completely normal. My daughter is younger (15 months), but her favorite thing in the world is to take a whole bunch of toys out of one container, and put them into another, and then back again, ad infinitum. Definitely enforce cleaning up, but like others have said, you can't expect perfection on that front at that age.[/quote]
