For example, I would show him to throw a ball in the direction of the laundry basket and not at the table. Or, instead of throwing X object, I would say we don't throw X, but you can throw this ball instead. I feel like DS truly understood simple things from a young age and would generally follow through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-your-lo-on-throwing-things#post-1057163 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 08:14:51 +0000 mrs.cookie 1057163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: mine too. I find it often (50%) means she's had enough and I haven't seen her sign all done - she gets very angry with me if there's any hesitation in meeting her demands! :) she hasn't thrown other things but she's pretty feisty so it's probably coming!</p> <p>With my son, we played throwing balls, a lot. He loved throwing balls for our dog. But we gently reminded him we don't throw anything else if he threw other things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-your-lo-on-throwing-things#post-1057130 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 07:56:10 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1057130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 13 months it's harder to set those rules. For that age what we would do when he threw something I didn't want him to I would say "that is not for throwing" and take it away. And then give him something he can throw, "here, you can throw this ball instead!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-your-lo-on-throwing-things#post-1057127 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 07:53:56 +0000 lizzywiz 1057127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cranberryapple: mine is doing better at 16 months but she is too immature to respond well to firm discipline (other babies her age totally can, she is just a young 16 months).<br /> So, we are still doing distraction and techniques like taking the item she shouldn't throw and giving her something she can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-your-lo-on-throwing-things#post-1056496 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 18:24:06 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1056496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @Mrs. High Heels: if its in aggression it's an immediate time out.</p> <p>We let c know that we only throw balls outside, and there's no throwing in the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-your-lo-on-throwing-things#post-1056492 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 18:22:59 +0000 stargal 1056492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Subscribing my lo is 13 months and throws his food and drink off the high chair all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-your-lo-on-throwing-things#post-1056455 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 18:01:08 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1056455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on her mood while she's throwing. If it's out of anger or defiance, it is an immediate time out (anything aggressive is an immediate time out). If it's a playful throw, we will give her a warning and tell her that we don't like it and to not throw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-rules-for-your-lo-on-throwing-things#post-1056425 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 17:44:43 +0000 cranberryapple 1056425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 13 months old and has begun to throw things. I understand his need to do that, but I don't want hm throwing anything and everything! How do I set limits for this? What kind of limits do you set? What do you allow your LO to throw and what do you not allow? How will they differentiate? I guess I always wonder how they will know why it's okay to throw one thing but not another. I should give our LOs more credit, eh? </p>
