Yes
And exposing their behaviour away ie hitting by blaming the adult and excusing them is why kids at school are the way they are – no responsibility and no blame

Why do you think he is doing this? Sounds like he needs someone with him for a few days at lunch to stop him from throwing and understand what is going on with him.

My 3 year old son is throwing his food at daycare as soon as a plate is placed in front of him. Daycare is not allowed to take food away from children as a punishment.
We follow your advice from above at home and he rarely throws food. Any suggestions for throwing food at daycare?

Hi Janet! I was trying to access the stages of development link and it didn’t work. I would love to review this- could you perhaps post another link or point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

I’m trying to work on this. What is a good approach for when a child does actually need to do something, and won’t. Something like wash their hands, brush their teeth. I can’t physically make her do them, but they are important and necessary, and she has meltdowns every time.

Is there any podcast you intend to make about behaviour of dads that might be worse than a toddler when they are dealing with a 2yo?

P.s. I found the titles of several recommended books on your site and immediately requested them from the library. Thank you!

I am a new grandparent and have never been a parent so this is ALL new to me. My thinking is similar to yours, Lily’s Gma. I don’t understand simply ignoring when a three year old is choosing to drop or throw heavy objects from feet above the floor and the parents do not do anything. It isn’t in their own house. The child jumps from coffee tables to sofas, again not in his own house. I do not want this kind of behavior at my house and I am not sure how to deal with it. The parents seem to be parenting in the manner of this blog but it is not how I was raised and a lot of it does not make sense to me. How can I, as a grandparent, respect the parenting style of the parents but still be able to set limits in my house? I definitely do not want to punish my grandchild but I want to find some way to respond that will help to curb this frustrating behavior.

I am seeking out genuine guidance that makes sense so I would appreciate feedback. Thank you.
