My son is super into throwing things right now.
When he gets upset, now he's started ferociously emptying the laundry basket. Knocking whatever he can off the table. Throwing whatever he can, small or large. And he's a run away. I can't get him to stay in the campsite for the life of me. People have talked to me about it, jsut feeling bad for me. Man....my kid is wild. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. I never yell or talk meanly to him. I try to co regulate for him calmly best I can.
The one thing that happens though, is sometimes we argue in front of him and I see that it affects him. I know it's a problem. We argue way less than we were, we were in a bad place for a while. But last night it happened for the first time in say, weeks to a month. And little guy got upset. It was heartbreaking and we toned it down and I switched my attention to him in a positive way. But still, could this be the cause of his wild man behaviour? He's going to be two in two months. Maybe it's just normal terrible two stuff? Ugh this is hard!
