DS is one in a couple of weeks. For the last 2 or so months he has been asking for particular toys (by pointing to them) but when given them he will gleefully fling them across the room, laughing, while watching my response. If I say "oh poor monkey, did he fall over, shall we give him a cuddle?" he will solemnly pat the toy for a bit, then look at me, grin, and fling it again.
I guess this is normal toddlerish behaviour, and it's fairly funny. I am not worried. But am I doing the right thing trying to teach him empathy here, or am I barking up the wrong tree? He seems so pleased to see particular toys, and cuddle them briefly, before using them as projectiles...
