15mo throwing things

[TracyK]

ds has started throwing things - toys, remote controls, books etc. Not in a tantrummy way - more in fun and usually not really that hard - but sometimes he gets a bit of momentum going and it catches my shin and it blooming well hurts.
Do I stop him, ignore him, punish him or just a phase that he's investigating his strength etc.

Ignore it, it's a phase to see what you do, and also because it's fun.

It's a phase because they are learning how to do it, develops their co-ordination, it's interesting and fascinating for them...try not to take it personally!

I am interested in this thread as I have coal dust (WTF? It's a gas effect jobbie...why the need for bloomin dust?) all over the living room and bruises all over my body.....
DS is also 15mths........

they are dangerous little monsters!
I don't mind him 'expressing' himself - its just if we go to visit a 'non child' house - will he disgrace himself!

Probably! DS does...but then if you invite a 15mth over......on your head be it...hopefully not literally!!!
