Dd 2 always throwing.

Dd is forever throwing things. Ds's toys, including Lego creations that get smashed, my glasses, phone etc. We do our best to not let her get them in the first place but can't stop her all of the time. Ds never did stuff like this and I don't know how to stop her before she hurts someone or breaks something.

Oh, pre reasonable.

This is probably not the correct way, but when DS was very small he was that quick to grab and chuck that basically everything throwable was kept above his best reach height.

We kept up the distract/grab thing about to be thrown and the "no throwing" stern face when we slipped up and left soething lying around. Eventually he got the message. I think he was almost four by the time I realised it wasn't really an issue any more and we stopped putting things up high.

He manged to hurl his dad's glasses a few times cos his little chubby arm would flash up to grab at the speed of light before DH managed to react and hold onto them.

It's a good job they are really cute at that age.

might be a trajectory schema, or maybe percussive

you can provide activities and opportunities to satisfy the child's inclination and exploration of the world safely and appropriately:

things like

a pot of play buttons or cotton reels for scattering
scrunched up paper, aimed into a big bowl or bin
water play, partic pouring, using spouts, chutes, tubes
percussion - pot and wooden spoon, drums, coconut halves

any good?

She tends to go for her brothers Lego mainly. I think she likes the reaction he gives her. I can't get him to understand not to react though, he is five.

She will love all those though, doing them for sure!
