Almost 3 year old throwing, hitting, dragging things off side, won't listen, won't stop?!

[DarkGreen]

Anyone else have this? Just won't listen, doesn't stop when I ask/tell/say stop/say no...

Even says to himself when doing it "no throwing the bottle at the wall" and then throws the bottle at the wall.

How do I handle this?! Feels impossible he's just walking round the house throwing anything he can but not in temper, almost laughs as he does it.

And what do you do when he acts this way. What are the consequences you enforce ?

I say no, stop, and then I walk away and ignore him he gets upset and then I say I asked you not to throw x y z and then he literally moves onto the next thing to throw!

Maybe it's a way of getting attention? Even if it's a negative interaction which sounds mad but two/three year olds are funny little creatures. I would ramp up the positive attention he's getting from you and try to give him control over parts of his day - choice of two outfits, choice of two different snacks, choice of two different drinks etc.

This is just what I do and you're welcome to ignore me but rather than walking away I try to calmly explain why not and ask if they are feeling a bit frustrated, sad, upset etc and try to get to the bottom of why they are doing whatever it is. With the throwing maybe try to redirect so - we don't throw whatever it is but let's go in the garden and we can throw this ball. It's not a quick fix though but I find it helps.
