Hi, I was just wondering if anyone had advice on how to handle toddlers who throw things like toys and stuff in the house. My son continues to throw his wooden trains or cars and trucks when he is playing with them. I constantly tell him "No throwing in the house becasue someone can get hurt..." but he continues to do it and it DRIVES ME NUTS! Fist off, I'm afraid one day he's actually going to hurty someone because he's come very close a few times. And he's denting the crap out of my wood floors! I feel like the more attention I draw to it he continues to do it but at the same time it can not be ignored. So I usually give him one warning and if he does it again I take the toys away but it does not seem to phase him that much. Any advice? Am I doing the right thing but just need to be patient?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
You might also try giving him more appropriate outlets for the throwing impulse. Take him outside as often as possible for throwing sessions. Then when your back inside stick to your guns! The combination might do the trick.
