My 2 1/2 year old grandson keep’s pouring his drinks on the floor or just anywhere, it’s driving us crazy, why does he do it? Any ideas? TIA

I'd guess he's doing it for attention. Or maybe just because he likes the sensation of pouring.

Get some spill proof cups/cups with lids. Don't give it any attention when he does. Seperately, create opportunities for him to tip and pour (for example, cups to play with in the bath, a toy tea set to play with water, a watering can for the garden etc).

I think this is very good advice from Nuff.

Is it just the pouring that you’re worried about @Nanatracey?
