My LO seems to have a temper. He likes to bash his toys on the floor and throw them out of his crib. Should I be worried?

Throwing things is a new and enjoyable skill for many children between 18 months and 3 years of age. It takes fine-motor skills to open the fingers and let go of an object, and considerable hand-eye coordination to actually throw it. Your LO just wants to practice this exciting skill! This skill is also educational for your LO, as he/she discovers that whatever he/she throws it falls down — never up. He/she its observing its effect of gravity. If he/she throws a ball, it bounces. If she tosses a plum, it goes splat. It's nothing worrying about and it's futile to try to stop your child from throwing at this age. Concentrate instead on limiting what he/she throws and where he/she throws it. http://www.babycenter.com/0_throwing_1200989.bc
