Ds2 is 16months old and has started to throw things. I remember ds1 doing this but not to the extent as ds2. He throws things at me at his dad at his brother who is 5yrs old and usually in the firing line and gets really hurt sometimes. But I am more concerened at the playgroups two weeks ago he threw a duplo brick I put my hand up to stop him but it was too late. It hit a boy of about 2 in the cheek his mum seemed ok about it, I tried to explain to her that I am trying to stop this and I couldn't apologise enough. I felt really embarassed and luckily her son didn't cry. She seemed ok.
When we went to the library last week for nursery rhymes I put him right up the back so that when he got given some maracas when they sing if he threw it it would land no where near any children. And low and behold, he threw it and it just missed mum, who again thank god was ok about it. In both situations I firmly told him No and took the toys away and he preceeded to have a fit but that doesn't bother me too much as I ignore him till he has finished.
Now I dread taking him anywhere for a true fear of him hurting a child by throwing whatever he gets his hands on. Any advice would be appreciated. I am so tempted to not take him anymore but he needs to be around other children so what do I do.
