Girl, same to all the above! In terms of the throwing I think it’s just new and fun to them to throw stuff. I try not to give a big reaction because he finds that funny and does it more so I redirect him by maybe offering him something ‘acceptable’ to throw, like a soft ball. I have no answers to the screaming or sleep though but I wish I did!
Yep I can also tick all three boxes!! It is just a phase but yes agree with gentle boundaries. My eldest was the same so I know there is an end 😂There is only so much you can do with the mess all be realistic otherwise your whole day is going to be spent cleaning in circles. We rotated toys for our eldest so there was only enough out and when he was a bit older tried to get him into the habit of putting something away before he got something else out. We went through a short phase of him breaking his toys but never replaced them, just said that's really sad it's gone now. He grew out of that really quickly. I'm hoping my youngest follows in his footsteps. Currently just launching everything he can get his hands on and screaming when he can't get his own way. We're currently also at the stage of my youngest wanting everything my eldest is playing with. He is very good with him but sometimes just wants to play a game with his characters and everything has a place as this doesn't fit in well with a 19m 😂😂
It’s not the mess that bothers me..more the noise and the fact that I feel she shouldn’t be throwing stuff around. Unfortunately she has been doing this for at least 6 months. If it is a phase, it’s a very long one 😩 @Grace
Have you got a busy board? These are great and all attached. There are some great ideas on Pinterest. We just bought the main wooden sheet from B&Q and found lots of sage but random things to attach. eBay was really good too for larger bits. Got a good animal wooden sliding game on there at screwed on xx
Normal normal normal. I try to get mone used to holding my hand and it helps fall asleep better as the nipple twiddling is not just super painful for me but also keeps him awake uuuggh My partner yesterday had to read 2 books to calm him enough to wipe the face and that was after washing hands in the sink that normally he would love but I think he was overstimulated and overtired after nursery. Throwing the only solution was to hide things and only get a few things out at a time to at least make it less overwhelming. Can try a tidy up song
I'm sorry that you're going through this. Don't have much advice, I think we can only be gently but firmly say no to things we don't like them to do.
