[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My then 3-year-old punched the tv creating a dead spot that grew until we bought a new tv a few months later. We put her in time out right away because we had been working on not hitting and she understood that concept. But there’s no way a toddler understands delayed consequences like paying for a tv. Work on impulse control and not throwing things in the house. Set your kid up for success by keeping things that can be broken out of their way or protecting valuables. (We put a baby gate around the tv so the kids couldn’t get close to it or the remote, game players, streaming boxes,etc.) Direct any anger or frustration away from your child. They just don’t understand. [/quote] He is s old enough to understand throwing an object when he is angry so he should be old enough to understand punishment for doing so. Obviously, kid has some serious anger problems that OP should have been working on before this incident.[/quote]
