he's 2.11yo and has recently started at nursery a couple of mornings a week
as bribery a reward for no tears and good behaviour (it started off as the former, has developed into the latter now he no longer is upset at being left) he has a treat in the car on the way home
as i was waiting at the gate to pick him up i saw him throw stones (bark chippings? not sure which) at another child
when he came to the gate i told him off and said he wouldn't be able to have his treat. his teacher told me he'd been good all day
he cried for about 25 minutes, nearly making himself sick a couple of times
he's ok now (this was 45 mins ago)
he's never thrown stones before, so has never been told not to do it. but am i right in assuming that a nearly-3yo should know that it's wrong?
his reaction confused me, as it was almost as though he felt his 'punishment' unfair
was i overreacting because ds2 choked on some thread and threw up everywhere en route to pick-up (so i was stressed)?
c'mon, i can take it, wwy(have)d?
