My DS is in a throwing phase and its driving me insane. He throws his food on the floor, throws dirt at the dog, throws toys across the room, etc. Someone please help! He is 21 months. Ive tried saying no, making him pick up what he has thrown, smacked his hand and dont feel good about that. TIA.

Lol. Is she going through teething or self soothing?
At this age I would just try to redirect him to an appropriate behavior. If you think he's doing it for attention I would take whatever he's throwing away without giving him any attention. And remember even though its frustrating its a phase and this too shall pass.
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
This exactly!
TX: IUI #1-4 = BFN + 1 c/p
IUI #5: Clomid 100mg + Bravelle + Trigger + B2B IUIs + 800mg Progesterone = BFP!
Beta #1 (14dpiui): 460 Beta #2 (16dpiui): 998 Beta #3 (23dpiui): 21,832 Beta #4 (29dpiui): 129,771
I think BabyK and drangonfly gave really good advice.
When my DD does something that she is not supposed to be doing over and over again I eventually break her by sticking to my guns and not backing down - no matter how many times she requires the redirection.
Example: She went through a phase where she thought running across our sectional couch was the best thing ever. Every time she would get up and run I would calmly and sternly say, "We sit on the couch." and I would take her and plunk her butt down. She'd get up, I'd sit her down again. She'd get up, I'd sit her down again and the cycle continued until she would finally break, sit and cry for a minute and then get over it. After a few days of this, she stopped and hasn't done it since. If I ask her to do something and she does the whole selective listening thing, counting to 3 works for me. Very rarely do we get to 3 and when we do she really doesn't like it.
Maybe when he goes to pick up sand/mud/whatever, try saying, "We don't throw XYZ." and remove it from his hand. Repeat until he stops. Or you could try, "Mini Imoverit, put down the mud now. 1, 2, ..." and when you get to 3 if he's about to chuck it anyway, remove it from his hand and tell him no.
These are just a few things that work for me.
He'll get over this phase just like they always get over whatever funk they are in eventually. Just the joys of toddlerhood!
I am sorry your DS is going through a tough stage. I think you got some great advice here
I am a little behind you in age, mine are 16 months but redirection does not work for my DS he will continue to try over & over again, he never gives up, my "serious" voice makes him laugh. GL I hope this phase is short lived for your DS.
She is only two months, so it is self-soothing. She does it when she is hungry or tired.

If he's looking at u when is doing it then he is attention seeking. I would completely ignore it. I would take away the carrot without looking at him or saying anything. I you don't engage him then they usually get bored and stop doing it.
My DS used to do this with spitting water out. I would just take away his cup without making eye count and he eventually stopped. I think it took about a week. Good luck!
