Need a kid reality check.

Why isn't he napping? They ought to be taking steps to make sure he is well-rested at school. And I don't personally think this is that big of a deal. You redirect when possible or let him tantrum on his own until he's ready to rejoin the group, no big deal. *not a parent.

Eta: Also, are they just straight up taking things and saying no? Can they provide choices? "You can't keep throwing the ball, do you want to come read a book with me or go on the slide?" I just wonder how much effort they're putting into preventing the tantrum in the first place. I feel annoyed for you.

You just moved right? He is having an adjustment period on top of being a toddler. I say keep doing the naps and redirection.

With my DD, months 18-22 were especially horrendous in regards to behavior and tantrums. I think it's just normal toddler behavior and a mix of their frustration, stubbornness, and testing boundaries.

Sounds like you hit the nail on the head. He needs longer naps. Also temper tantrums are total normal at that age especially if he isn't talking a lot yet.

Was it s finger wagging talk ... or a what can we go together to help him they this stage talk?

My son is doing the same, without the throwing, yet. His pedi said he has a lot to do with speech. He isn't able to articulate what he wants, and that's really the only way they can express themselves. It definitely gets his point across .

It sounded (via my H) more like finger wagging, and that this was unusual. But hopefully that was misinterpretation on our part.

I think you have a right to feel like they are partners on issues like this, not scolding you. I would encourage you to follow up and expect better communication.
