I don't know why I'm surprised this happened twice

I posted the other day about DS's lack of empathy and how he threw a car at a girl at preschool and she needed stitches.

Well, he just launched a little train at H, got him on the bridge of the nose so now I'm off to WalGreens for some liquid bandaid.

Needless to say, we are now going through all the toy bins and taking every single hard object out.

So my three year old can only play with padded toys.

Is it Dec. 17 yet?

I'm so sorry. I hope your doctor has some good suggestions.

I am sorry! This sounds so frustrating and scary. Hugs.

We made him an appointment with Behavioral Health out of desperation. I'm honestly a little scared of him. Less so now that we removed the hard stuff though.

3 year olds are surprisingly strong.

Oh wow. I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this.

Hopefully, the doctor will be able to help in some way.

My son went through a throwing phase when he was around 2....he would throw toys at everything/everyone! His baby brother ended up with a hemangioma on his head...doctor said it was likely caused by trauma...yup, we spent my youngest sons first few months shielding him from flying objects. We just started taking away everything he threw. We had a basket on top of the refrigerator, as soon as it got thrown it got put in the basket. I liked keeping it there rather then out of sight so he could be reminded whenever he pointed to the confiscated toys and asked for them. He outgrew it

I'm sorry, hopefully you and the doctor can put together a plan soon.

(((HUGS))))
Just know that you are doing all you can - and making the doctor appt shows you are a great mom and will get him the help he might need... or maybe it's just a phase -either way you are on top of it and that is all we can do as parents.

I'm sorry. I hope the appointment is helpful.

(hugs) I'm so sorry I think putting away the hard throwable toys is a good idea.

Thanks everyone - this breaks my heart.

Thank you - this is a great idea. Tonight we put them in a basket on the family room shelf.
